 DEPARTMENT TO
 HAVE NEW HEAD

With the recent wedding out of the forces at Nenana and the re tirement of H. P. Curtis as the head of the store department there. which left a vacancy in one of the most important branches of the com mission, the filling of the vacancy with a capable person was the first move of the new administration.
 The selection of the engineer in charge to fill this position resulted m the appointment of George Mar aus of Fairbanks. and he will leave tomorrow to assume his new duties,
 Mir. Markus has for the past thir. ,een years been in charge of the N c. hardware department. and his departure will be regretted by those who have associated with him dur ing his incumbency, The position vacated by him with the local cor ooration will not be filled until the return of Volney Richmond from his present itinerary the latter part or this month.
 That the departure of Mir, Markus for his new duties will be felt in other circles aside from his business associations will be evidenced by his severance from the secretary ship of the local aerie of Eagles. of which organization he has been sec retary for several years. being one of the most capable officers that organization has ever had.
 Locally his departure will be felt keenly, as he was prominent in many ways, and what will be Fair banks loss will be Nenana's gain, A host of friends will wish him well in his new field of endeavor.

BerthOLd Farmer Declares
Farmers Must Break AzUQy
From LEADERSHIP of League

disloyalty that is made against them
, to the members of the league, and
try, through their papers, to inflame
the farmers by telling them the
charges have been made against the
farmers.
How we, as loyal farmers can
further uphold such men, as the
leaders Of a movement for the bene-
fit of the farmers, is beyond me
since if they are not true, loyal
citizens to the government at this
time. they are not nor will they be
loyal to our cause, or TO the cause
of justice and right.
Il will not, nor do I believe the
farmers of North Dakota will con-
tinue to follow blindIy, leaders of a
misnaned organization. who are dis
loyal to our government in this time
of peril
Can Get Mo Accounting.
h We can get no accounting of the
funds we have paid to the leaders OF
the organization, amounting to q
million and half dollars. nor can
we depose the self-appointed leader,
since we have no representation or
voice in directing the affairs Of the
league, or in electing or naming its
officers.
Amy other organization, which
collects funds from its members
gives the members q voice in select
ing it's officers and leaders, but we
have none in the league, and can
only follow blindly the mandate of
the supreme, self-appointed leader
who occupies much the same posi-
tion-ip the league that the Kaiser
does in Germany.
"Our only recourse to break away
from such leadership is to ignore
them and elect independent farmers
to our state and national offices. who
will represent the farmer and his
interests, and who will take no Or
ders from man but work for the
interests Of the people of the state
and nation
For these reasons and more
have become a candidate and here
mention few of the principles for
which stand.
Absolute loyalty to the nation,
the state and the people;
Justice and equal rights for all
classes;
81 am for state ownership Of pub
lie service utilities within the state,
if so decided by a majority Of the
voters of the state;
For state hail insurance by means
Of an acreage tax;
For a nonpartisan ballot Of cleo
ton of all state and county officers;
exemption of farm improvements
from taxation; and for the initiative,
referendum and recall.
'I am opposed to gang rule in any
form. or to dictation by any man or
set of men.
SHOULD I be nominated and elect
ed I wish to assure you that will do
my utmost to secure enactment Of
such measures into law that will be
for the benefit of the nation and the
people of the entire state.
Sincerely yours.

Berthold, N. D., May 30.-G. A
Luke of Berthold, former member o.
the Nonpartisan league, announcing
his candidacy for the state senate IL
opposition to John E. Fleckton Of
kenmare, a Socialist with the Non
partisan league endorsement, makes
plain his own position with respect
to the league movement and the
league leadership.
+ allow we can, az loyal farm
ers, further uphold such men, as
che leaders Of a movement for
the benefit of the farmers, 10
+ beyond me, since If they are not
true, loyal citizens to the govern
ment at this time, they are not,
nor will they be, loyal to our
cause, or the cause of justice and
right" declares Mr.. Luke after
summarizing the generally ac-
cepted indictments against the
league leadership.
II will not, nor do | believe
that the farmers Of North Da-
kota will continue 70 follow
bIndIy, leaders of a misnamed
organization, who are disIoyaI to
our government in this tine of
peril"
Mr.. Luke's letter, addressed to the
editor of The Ward County 1ndepen-
dent, of Minot, follows:
In announcing that I am q candi-
date on the. Republican ticket for
state senator from the Second legis-
lative district, l wish to allay any
misapprehension the farmers or 9TH
ers may have concerning my attitude
toward farmers organizations and
the interests Of the farmers.
ST am a farmer, have lived on and
operated the same farm for 16 years
and have no outside interests except
in farmers elevator and farmers
telephone line. l have done a great
part of the work In organizing and
maintaining these institutions which
have proved a success, and Of mater
ial benefit to the farmers.
Quit Donations.
II was a member of the Nonparti-
san league until about a year ago
when I refused to donate more funds
to self-appoirted leaders of the or
ganization, who are not leading the
farmers, but misleading them, and
who are really working for the in
terests Of a. red card brand Of social
ism, and drawing their funds from
the farmers.
I'VE have no voice in league af-
fairs but must accept the dictation
Of the self appointed leaders, some OF
whom have been arrested for sedit-
ious matter, others having been con-
victed Of these charges.
Stigma On Farmers.
Through these seditious speeches
by the leaders Of the league, the
farmers have been placed under the
stigma of being disloyal and I'M
patriotic and. the league papers en-
phasize the fact that the farmers are
disloyal.
I'VE know there are no more loyal,
patriotic people anywhere than the
farmers Of this state, but since the
league leaders are and have been
disioyai they turn every charge Of
