POLITICIANS FEAR. LEAGUE
New York Officials conspire With Re-
dictionary Labor Leaders Against
Farmer Unions.

New York politicians, "conserva
tive" farmer organizations and reac-
tionary labor leaders in New York
state have taken steps to thwart the
proposed alliance of farmers and city
workers along the lines proposed by
President A. G. Townley of the Nation
al Nonpartisan league at the recent
convention OF the American Fedora
ton at Buffalo.
Inspired, perhaps, by the news from
North Dakota, the representatives of
the big interests have started to fight
the Nonpartisan league in the east
before it is yet born. These conser-
vative forces were frightened into
action by q letter sent out by a group
Of New York state farmers and work.
ing men advocating an organization
along the lines of the Nonpartisan
league. They inspired the state feder-
alton of labor at it's convention in
Albany to send a notice to all unions
~instructing them to have nothing to
do with this movement.
All Of this indicates that the profit
GERS of the state fear the farmers who
are exhibiting a feeling of unrest, and
who, through a number of sources,
have expressed a determination to be
represented at the next legislature
at Albany.

LEAGUE WINNING
IDAHO FARMERS
TownIey Tour Through State
Draws Large Crowds in Spite
of Opposition.

A. G. Town]ey, national president
Of the Non-Partisan league, has just
completed a speaking tour of southern
Idaho, and from each meeting comes
the news of large crowds, marked en-
tnusiasm and strong endorsement of
the program OF the League and con-
fdence in the loyalty of its leaders.
In the face Of the most bitter OPP
position the League has continued to
grow, Its officers have been accused
Of being pro-German, It's program Of
legislation has been proclaimed revo-
lutionsry and its main purpose has
been heTalded as a scheme to blk the
farmers out Of the membership fees.
Yet these same farmers have gathered
by the hundreds to hear Mr.. Townley
and are joining the league by thou
sands.
A Concrete Plan.
Why is 1t? Because the Non-Par-
tisan League has presented a concrete
plan Of relief for the producers from
the system of plumber of which they
have been the unwilling victims in
the past. Because the N~on-partisan
League proposes to select men for
office who will promise to carry out
their program instead of doing the
bidding Of the special interests. Be
cause the Non-Partisan League be-
lieves the war pr~ofiteers should be
compelled to bear their share OF the
burden of the great conflict in which
We are engaged instead of further en-
riching themselves at the expense of
tho nation and hen shifting the bur-
den upon the future generations
through excessive bond issues.
The farmers of the country have
seemingly at last awakened to the
necessity of a strong organization,
with sufficient funds to meet the other
fellows on equal grounds in a cam
paign, and a program of legislation
which will put a stop to legalized
p.under. All the bowling against the
League and its officers will not stop
Its progress and the Weiser Signal

predicts that seventy-five percent of
the farmers Of Idaho will be members

In a position to control nominations,

fairs OF state and nation no one will

OUR HEROES

Oh. lonely in the Irish coast,
And wild the wind and wave,
Where the Tuscania went down,
TOrpedOed to her grave.
And there below the sheeted foam
COlumbla's soldier sons
Lie strewn upon the ocean floor,
The victims of the Huns.
They persisted ere they reached the
goal
Or even saw the foe;
Denied the joy Of battle and
The pride Of blow for blow.
And all their splendid hopes and
dreams
OF glorious victory,
Where edand wetthe trenches run.
Were strangled in the sea.
But this 10 not theatime to sit
With idle hands and weep.
The spirits Of our gallant dead
Command us from the deep
To buckle onsthe cartridge belt,
UnsheAthe the sword anew,
And hasten on 70 do the deeds
They had no chance to do.
ToarmsiT oarmsl Their dying cries
Arc trumpet blasts to speed
Oar armies forward to the fight
Where freedom's allies bleed.
And whom upon the Irish Sea-
Tho stars reflected dance.
Iheir phantom bay0nets are seen
To point the way to France.
