all depends upon the farmers. It j,
now up to you. Up to you to see t,
1t that you go to the polls and vote,
up to you to see to it that every farm
er In your precinct goes to the polls
TO vote; up to you to use your Der.
sonal influence to see that your farm
er friends vote for the farmers pro-
gram and the farmers ticket. You
know that our program is right and
Just; you know that the opposition to
the farmers program or the farmers
ticket is not honest and YOU know
that it has no merit. You know that
their whole game is anything to beat
the farmers; you know that the "pea-
nut" politicians will be right on deck
next Tuesday and will be on the Job
all day, and not stone will be left
unturned that might contribute to the
defeat of the farmers and the farm
ers' program.
Each man that the League farmers
have endorsed has been marked for
slaughter. 1t matters not how can
able or deserving that man NAV be.
the fact that the farmers have recog-
nlzed his merit, has sealed the mans
doom with the opposition to the farm
ers.
The villages will vote against the
league candidates and all the votes
Will be cast. The villages claim to
be friendly to the farmers on whom
they depend for whatever measure of
prosperity that may be doIed out to
them, yet they would rather see the
Packing Trust, Anaconda Copper,
the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce and the Milling Combine pile
up gigantic profits than to have the
farmers save the money for them
selves to be used in local channels of
business.
Prejudice and hatred has been ap-
pealed to, to such an extent that the
farmers cannot get consideration of T
their program on its merits. Not a
paper in Sheridan county has dis
cussed, outside of the Producers
News, the Program of the League,
neither have they printed it, They
have dealt only in personal attacks
upon the League: attacks entirely
uni 0unded, but which has served to
keep the public mind from giving
Ihe farmers program an honest and
careful consideration.
The League and this paper has
done its best in this county. The vic
tory or defeat of the League and the
League program is now up to the
farmers and to you personally. The
farmers are short of help. The re-
cent rains have delayed harvest and
put the farmers in a bad condition to
save their crop. You will be tempt
ID to stay at home and rush your
work, many of you thinking that VIC
ory is assured.
If you do that we are defeated. 1t
s no sure thing that we will carry
his county. Votes cannot be count
ID until they are cast. There are
our thousand members of the league
n the county. Many members have
,een called to the colOrs and are now
ighting for Uncle Sam across the
eas. This county has a large popu-
alton and will cast large vote.
Whether we win or lose all depends
pom the farmers and how you turn
'ut to vote and also on how you vote.
'ake your family to the polls in your
ar, also take your neighbor, and !
ee to it that your neighbor and all !
f the hired men get to the polls.
)on't think that we have this fight
ron for we have not. Get busy next +,
tuesday and stay on the job all day. {
all depends on you and what you {
