PREPARING FOR THE DRIVE.

Many of the smaller towns and COM
munities of the state which are already
energetically at work in the interests Of
John Stecn and the Minot ticket and plat
form, have been wondering why Fargo
was holding back
The answer is that Fargo Republicans
haven't been "holding back" They are
organizing this afternoon for short whirl-
wind campaign. They have been busy with
war campaigns to help out on the Western
front, but they haven't forgotten the North
Dakota front. They are going into the
fight with unlimited confidence, energy and
determination to win. They will have all
the workers needed and they won't be paid
workers either but volunteers. They will
be ready for the shock when the 800 paid
organizers are released from the Minnesota
campaign and transferred to the North Dar
kota front few days before the primaries
here.

ignorance committed gaucherie on

"The bill of fare was in French,
and the chap pointed to an item on

e'TREAT THEM LIKE CATTLE.

Fargo citizens who don't see The North
Dakota Leader, the weekly organ Of the
Nonpartisan league, have no conception OF
the abuse to which j. G. Ingle OF Dawson
has been subjected since he gave The
Forum permission to publish his story OF
the now famous conference on the Con-
sumers United Stores plan at Bismarck
when the executive committee Of the Farm
ers' Union sought some information from
Mr. Townley.
Mr. Ingle has been slandered, malgned,
and held up to the ridicule as traitor to
the league and as a tool of Big Business.
No attempt has been made honestly to re-
fute his charges or to give the information
he sought The whole aim has been to dis
credit Mr.. Ingle and The Forum.
That is the reason The Forum published
another chapter of the story Saturday
night, and made public afidavits from three
more farmers who were present at the con-
ference. They unreservedly verify Mr..
Ingle's story in detail, and add come inter
esting facts that Mr.. Ingle had forgotten.
TETreat them like cattle, - was Mr.. Town
ley's self-confessed plan for handling farm
ers.
Few men can stand unlimited power. 1t
begins to look as if Mr.. Townley's little de-
bauch of czardom is drawing to its close,
and that the bitter awakening is at hand

The La Moure County Chronicle one Of the
most ably edited of the weekly papers Of the
state, replies to Forum editorial as follows:
THE LaMoure Chronicle, which for some
time has been espousing the cause Of the
Nonpartisan league, though owned independ-
ently"-with these words The Fargo Forum
perfaces quotation from this paper. The
Forum knows very well that The Chronicle
has not espoused the cause of the Nonparti-
san league. Years ago The Chronicle es-
poused the cause Of the farmers OF North
Dakota, believing that they suffered econ
onic wrongs which could and should be rem
edied. For the average farmer the condt-
tions Of life hard and forbidding as COM
pared with those OF the man living in town,
and this is even more true of the farmers
wife and children. Anything this paper can
say or do which we believe would tend to
ameliorate these adverse conditions will be
said and done
1t is true, no doubt, that farm life is grad
ually becoming more endurable. The tele-
phone, the automobile, rural mail delivery,
modern lighting systems, power driven ma
chinery, better schools, better roads-these
are some Of the things which have softened
the hardships that have always been the
portion Of the farmers, and given them new
hope and courage. But there ig still much
to be accomplished before the farmer shall
have come into HIS own. He must have bet
ter marketing conditions; he must get
square deal in the matter of grades aud
dockage of his grain; the paramount inn
portance Of his calling must be recognised;
and there must be conceded TO him that full
measure of participation in the political and
governmental affairs Of the state to which
his numerical strength fairly entities him.
The Chronicle has never "espoused the
cause Of the Nonpartisan league" but we do
believe that the farmers have right to organ
ize and that they would be foolish not 10 do
so. For years the politicians strung" the
farmers, making fair promise TO their ears,
only to break 1t to their hope" We do wish
how earnestly do we wish! that the Non-
partisan league had another and q different
set Of leaders at this time. Leaders who
are not socialists. leaders who would build
up but who would not tear down. Leaders
whose patriotism and loyalty III this grin
and fateful hour were as unimpsachable as
is the Loyalty and the patriotism OF thosa
whom they a1a~lsad dtng-God knows WheSet

LOYALTY ISN'T AN ISSUE"

Of course ''loyalty isn't an issue" in
North Dakota this year, but was N. S. Ran
dali dismissed by the Nonpartisan league
after being convicted?
He was not.
''Loyalty ism t an ISSUE" but was Joseph
Gilbert dismissed after being convicted?
He was not.
Have the league executives dismissed
from service any one man of the many con-
victed or indicted for disloyaltyR
They have not.
On the contrary they have advertised
them as special attractions to draw crowds
to their meetings.

If you have any regard for the boys in

let 1t breathe naught but sunshine and cheer.
If doubts assail you. keep them to yourself,

HOW MUCK Is RAKED.

Whatever sins of omission and commits
sion may be charged against the big pack
ers, they are not fools.
Therefore, on the face of it, the report
that government inspectors condemned q
carloads Of meat shipped to Texas army
camp, as unfit for consumption, would bear
investigation.
The packers know it would be impossible
to sell tainted meat to the government
camps, and that it would be suicidal to at
tempt to do so, in the present temper Of the
American people.
The facts appear to be that the meat
spoiled in transit because of inadequate re-
frigerating facilities, and delays in trans
portation. The government had charge of
the transportation Of the meat, and the
government inspectors promptly caught it
before it was delivered to the army COM
missary. Moreover the packers are under
complete government control.
But anything that smells like decayed
meat is the breath of life to the morning
Townley organ, and it jumps into the muck
with the comment that the packers would
poison them (the soldiers) with unfit
food. +"
What an unpleasant state Of mind it
must be, that sees everyone but yourself as
crook, CRATER, profteer, or thief.
The feature that should be investigated,
Is Why SO much good meat was permitted
10 spoil and be wasted, when the govern
ment ID urging food conservation SO insist

The men who shipped it or on the railroads
