THAT M0MPART|sAN LEAGUE
NEWSPAPER and LII
JOHN ANDREWS

The rumor is going the rounds to
the effect that the Nonpartisan
League farmers of Richland coun.
ty have about made arrangements
to purchase the Lidgerwood Broad
axe from John Andrews and move
the plant to Wahpeton and that
Jawn will manage and edit the
paper. 1t seems strange that such
could be the case in view of the
fact that while on 500 Line train
west bound in October that the
writer and John Andrews greeted
each other. Mr.. Andrews asked
the writer whittier he was going
and we told him to Edgeley to
work as a printer for the Mail for
few weeks to help out in pinch.
MIR. Andrews was enroute to Bis
marck where he had been feeding
at the public crib in the secretary
of states office for several years
under the republican regime. He
was at that time very bitter and
very much opposed to the Nonpart-
isan league and told the writer
that the league was on it's last
legs, that perhaps they would car
~ the next general election il
North Dakota, but after that the
league is done for good and that a
string of Nonpartisan newspapers
in North Dakota would be for sale
cheap. Perhaps, you remember
the conversation, Jawn, and how
your chest stuch out. And now We
learn that you are to manage a
! paper for the people you ridiculed
and made sport of. Why the sud-
den change of heart? Perhaps
Jawn, who has been everything
from stalwart republican, in
surgent republican, democrat,
political topper and rooster, and
who never could see any good in
anything worth while, thinks that
now there is chance to ride int
office at the expense of the farmers
or that he can pick up a newspa-
per cheap after election and make
capital at the expense of the farm
ers. If the rumor is true that
Jawn is to take over the manage
ment Of the Nonpartisan league
newspaper, we warn the farmers
to sleep with one eye open lest
.)awn slip one over on them.
Jawn always was a foxy fellow,
but this time he slipped up a
little.
