One OF these letters typical OF the
lot, was received by Mr. lngle after
at Dawson by a representative of the
NOnpartisan Leader, who asked him
to put the still pedal on that famous
Chain Store meeting in the Grand Pa
cific hotel.
"You can't hurt us in North Dako-

We've got the farmers in this state

hurting us in other states

The Letter.
Mr.. J. G. Ingle,
" Dawson, No. OAK.
Dear Sir:
The writer has with much interest
read your communication reprinted
in the Normanden from the Fargo
Forum not being posted on what hap
pened at the Bismarck meeting you re.
fer to l must take it for granted that
your write up is correct, but can't
help but come to the conclusion that
mfr. Townley considered yours and 9th
ers opposition to him as a framed up
affair, backed by the interests you
now serve, hence lost his temper.
We must Judge men by the com
pany they keep, and 'the fact that
you considered it expedient to join the
Tom and Jerry crowd who constantly
endeavOr to work in favor of the CAPT
talists exploiting interests to the derti.
ment of the producers of this and 9th
or states, clearly indicates your posi-
ton. =: ~ 81 .'a ~ -
Hoping your newly selected friends.
who in the past have proved them
selves very liberal to those willing to
betray the peoples cause, will see to
it that you need not stick close to the
soil after this. " ~
TO progressive citizens, those who
have the welfare of the state and
the producers of the state in view,
considering your attitude toward the
Townley and the, league, it appears
like your citizenship was hyphenated.
The ways and means Of the exploit.
ing inteserts are to some extent known
to me and | know how they make
suckers. and those that can be worked
successfully will get in to the next
degree and become dupes.
While you do not say much against
the league, your attack on TOWnley at
fects every mem Der of the league, your
arguments are strictly in line with the
Baconized papers whose program is
indicated to be: go after T0Wnley ii
we can get him the league is easily
disposed of, if we can't get him we
will tire him out so he will. be willing
10 TAKE u DrlDe one way OF tHe QUIET
and il he does we will make him a
saint.
Please remember that your newly
selected friends, who in your pres.
ence admire your wisdom and great
ness behind your back make you an
object for ridicCle. ., ~ '.
One who is constantly under fire
from the tail-end exploiters Of small
