Mr. Farmer, this article is written for you. Will
you be kind enough to read these lines? In all that
have said against the leaders OF the Nonpartsan
league in Idaho there never has been time when
have had thought that the farmers OF Idaho
were dsloya because | know that it is not true.
! am making your fight, as no man ever fought IN
Idaho before, in exposing the greatest criminal
organization America has ever known
1t is not strange that you did not understand
Townley and Towneyism 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 Non
partisan league 1t is not strange that you should
jon an organization that you believed was for the
betterment of the farmers because 1T IS true that
there are some things that are wrong IN ldaho|
that must be and will be made right. In most
cases professionally trained men have been sent
to YOUR communities who are professional
salesmen-and that they have received a large
number of the farmers of the state all will agree
