THE PRIMARY

The primary election will be held
June II. On that day the voters of
Minnesota will not only establish
whether or not they grasp the stu
alton that confronts this Nation. but
will, in our Judgment, determine
whether influences that are working
to destroy this people are to be for
ever smashed.
practically every official position in
the State. For almost every one of
these places there is also disloyal
candidate. The voters have a great
duty to perform on primary day-to
choose the loyal candidate.
The Nonpartisan League is an or
ganization designed for evil. It's
leaders are seeking to use the farm
er vote of Minnesota and other states
for selfish ends-not to help the
farmer Indeed, the farmer has no
majority Of evils or wrongs to COM
bat. When he steps aside at the call
of demagogues like Townley and
seeks special class legislation, he is
but bringing the house down upon
his head. Without realizing it, he
has joined a movement designed for
his downfall.
The farmer of North Dakota is no
better off since he paid his money to
Townley's agents. He is being played
with by leaders who are against the
United States and for themselves.
Mr.. Townley has been indicted un-
der war statute. Some of his col
leagues have been convicted and
punished. The whole leadership of
the Nonpartisan officials reeks Of I'M
patriotism and sedition.
What will the farmer do with this
thing on primary day. Will he vote
for Lindbergh as against loyalist
like Burnquist? 1t is unbelievable.
The voter who casts ballot for
Lindbergh votes with the disloyal So
cialist and the I. w. w., now on trial
in Chicago for notorious disloyalty
These will vote for Lindbergh. The
farmer is not disloyal; he is simply
imposed upon. 1t is for him to an
alyze and see for himself. 1t is his
duty to do this.
The boys are dying in France to
save this Nation, to save these very
farmers. If Germany and the Rus
! sian Bolsheviki had control of the
United States, where would the lib
critics of these farmers be? Ask
| Ukrania. The farmers of that un-
happy land know by this time. They
listened to the Townleys and the
Lindberghs of Germany and the Boil
sheviki and they are slaves already
