s. Compensated poorly IL at all,
except by the gratitude and affection
or their neighbors and OF the nation
at large, the boards have labored in
cessantly through the eneryating heat
OF last summer, only TO find a still
greater task awaiting their nceasing
devotion throughout the rigors OF the
following winter Then, having ac-
complished the classification OF mil
lions OF men, and accurately and
promptly they have performed and
are performing this labor. Much
work yet remains. Today the new
men of twenty-one are being register
ed and must be speedily classified.
On the first OF next month the local
and district boards will be invested
s-SHlth the still further responsibility
OF preventing idleness and OF un-
productive employment which Is now
effective to the nation in the cmer-
gency. Some boards will review their
work and correct those inequalities
which have been unavoidable In so
tremendous an undertaking.
6. The nation, however, with full
confidence in the men who have per
formed these sreat tasks in the past
faces the future without foreboding.
The splendid work OF our local and
district boards, and Of the other great
volunteer ARMY OF assistants has fll-
cd US with admiration. They have
been tried and found true. and SO
long as this war may last, our people
are happy In the complete assurance

!. One year ago occurred the first
registration for military purposes OF
the young manhood OF the nation. Ten
million men responded in single day.
This accomplishment was nothing
short OF marvellous. The task OF utiI-
izing this enormouse force seemed un-
achieyable. But the work OF CLASH
fication OF this great mass OF men
power in such way as TO permit OF
Its organization and moulding into an
effective army was entrusted 10 1868
local boards and 156 district boards
constituting a force OF nearly fifteen
thousand OF the leading citizens OF
every community who, assisted in
their work by more than one hundred
thousand equally patriotic volunteers,
have performed work that challeng-
es the attention and excites the ad-
miration OF all our people
2. Well may we pause today, while
another million OF our youths enter
the lists, and survey the results OF
the years work. Each registrant has
been examined and his availability for
military service has been determined.
In other words, these millions OF men
have been classified in such a man
ner that the nation may now call for
them to come forward into the army
No call can be so large that ii will
not be filed Immediately, whether the
number be such as may be filled by
those who have been found to stand
in the first ranke OF availables or so
great that men standing in the sec
ond, third or fourth ranks OF avail
ability must go forward. In other
words all these millions OF men who
one year ago were an inert mass have
become a mobile army. Each has
found his place and each in his prop
er turn has marched or awaits the or
der TO march.
3. The results could not have been
accomplished except through the de-
voted and unselfish labor Of patriots,
The local and district boards have
scored an unprecedented triumph
and have earned the undying graft
tude of the nation. Their achieve
ment is one OF the great successes OF
the war. They have already sent in
to camp, including those under or
ders for June mobilization, an army
OF more than million and half Of
men. They have already produced, as
soldiers, one man out OF every six
registrants and the world stands in
profound astonishment, as It views
this accomplishment

boards have sent and are sending
their registrants to camp in the fol-

a success. If Roosevelt, who was then
in the White House, had possessed the
courage to use the ''big stick" of which
he talks so frequently, the panic might
have been prevented, in the belief of
most of the Texas farmers. At any
event Texas is one state where the
Rough Rider need not look for votes
when he becomes a candidate for
president again.
After the Farmers union had been
downed in 1907, the powers of Texas
evidently determined that it should
never become power again. They set
on foot a shrewd attempt to get con-
troll of the organization. Railroads be-
gan giving delegates to the Union
passes to their meetings. An organi-
Zation of commercial clubs attempted
to ease it's way into control by offer
ing financial support and by trying to
get the farmers to go into politics with
them. The organization brought out,
for governor of Texas, big land owner
named Ferguson. AS a sop to the
farmers he ran under the name of
Farmer Jim" Ferguson.
They attempted to make quite hero
out of Ferguson. They elected him
with a big vote. They named cigar
after him. 1t made the writer laugh,
in Dallas the other day, to see this
cigar still advertised as .'the Invinci-
BILE Jim Ferguson cigar"
1t was funny because Jim Fergu-
son wasn't invincible. Ferguson de-
posted state money in his own
bank without paying interest. In
surance money from burned
normal school also was found cred
tied to his own account. From some
source, which he refused to reveal,
The nonpartisan leader., 1918-02-25
The Panic That Broke Texas Farmers

Ferguson got $156,O00 to protect his
credit at this bank. But this didn't
really protect him. The legislature
brought formal charges against him,
he was put on trial under impeachment
proceedings, and with almost unani-
nous vote against him, 'sthe invincible
Jim Ferguson" was ousted from his Of
flee,
The writer would not have readers
Of this article believe that the big inter-
ests of Texas have been successful in
their attempts to gain control over the
Farmers union. New blood has come
into the organization, membership is
being worked up again and it may yet
get back into the position of power
that it held in 1907.
But it is not likely that the farmers
of Texas will attempt the holding
movement again without having
political organization to go along
with it,
The same obstacles that prevented
the farmers of Texas from getting con-
troll of their state government in 1896
do not exist today. The people have
forced from their legislature fair direct
primary laws and corrupt practices
act which will go far toward prevent
ing the voting of dead niggers, mules
and wet Mexicans." Many of the
farmers of Texas are still disfranchis-
ed by an unfair poll tax law, but there
are enough, if they get together, to
control the government of their state,
to elect real farmer governor, a legis-
lature that will work with him and to
secure real progress. Then, perhaps, a
movement, Of the farmers to fix the
price Of cotton on the cost of produc-
tion will have good chances Of success.

T0HREATS Of mob violence
against the person of A. c.
- Townley, president of the Ma
: ti0nal Nonpartisan league, have
become so serious that Mr.. Townley
was officially warned recently, by the
attorney general of North Dakota, to
be on his guard for his personal safety.
Many ignorant and lawless people,
grossly deceived by the lies concern
ing President Townley appearing in
newspapers hostile to the farmers
cause, have threatened to do him
bodily injury. But more serious con-
dition exists. 1t is that politicians and
representatives of interests that the
Nonpartisan league is fighting are de-
Hberately promoting just such violence
against Mr.. T0wnley and against other
persons connected with the League.
Also there is evidence that this gang
has gone SO far as to hire strong-arm
men to mob representatives of the
League.
Mr.. Townley has received the fol-
lowing letter from William LANCER, at
torney general of North Dakota:

said that Mr.. Of - "a

to get Townley in crowd, where
he could knock him down. He said
his fine was to be paid and it
would be the biggest thing in the

was too bad, as it would have made
