FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.

Everyone will agree that the farm
ers should organize, that it is essen
tial for them to have organizations,
but few will agree that we need such
leaders for the farmers as Townley,
IeSeuer, McKaig and Scholtz, who
have forced themselves to the head of
the farmers organization in this
state.
Mr. Farmer, / have looked UP the
platforms of both political parties in
Idaho and the laws passed by our
legislatures for number of years.
/ find there has never has been sin
gle pledge made to the farmers by
either the Republican or Democratic
party that has not been kept. You
have never asked for anything of
either one of the two parties in Id
aho that has not been given you. More
than half of the senators and repre-
sentatives that have served this state
for number of years have been far
mers or men who own land and cul-
tivate the soil.
There never will be a time in Idaho
in my judgment when the agrieul-
tural interests in this state cannot
pass such legislation as is necessary
for the welfare of the great agricul-
tural interets of the state.
Everyone of our adjoining states,
Mr.. Farmer, has repudiated the lead
ers of the Nonpartisan league. The
National Oranges has renudiated
them; the oranges of Washington
and Oregon, and the farmers organ
izations of Utah have repudiated the
leaders of the Nonpartisan league
In those states the great newspap'
ers have come to the rescue of the
farmers and campaign of educa,
ton and exposure has been on fol
some time. Ii we had had such g
campaign in Idaho hundreds o.
thousands of dollars would have
been saved to the farmers of this
state, and the enemies of good gov
eminent would not have got foot
hold here. The campaign am wag
ing today is campaign of educa
ton. l have forgotten all about thu
senatorship / have fought these en-
emies of our government before, ant
know that unless they are exposed
they will destroy the state and de
stroy its citizenship.

1t is not strange that you did not un-
derstand Townley and Townleyism
and the Socialism that they stand for
because no newspaper with one or
two exceptions in this state has ever
attempted to tell you the truth
about the leaders of the Nonpartisan
league. 1t is not strange that you
should join an organization that You
believe was for the betterment of
the farmers, because it is true that
there are some things that are wrong
In Idaho that must be and will be
made right. In most cases profess
sionally trained men have been sent
to your communities-men who are
professional salesmen-and that they
have deceived large number of the
best farmers of the state all will

for time he thought the movement
a good one.
