mrs. N. MCCORMICK
is GENTLY TOLD
WHAT IS,
Bouck submits platform
For 6. D. P.

William Bouck, master of the Wash
ington state Grange, who was indicte,
by the anti-farmer interests IN tina
state on false charges which were dis
missed before actual trial, now ap
pears as an advisor to the nationa
committee of the Republican party
None than this, he gives very good ad
vice and theret.re there is ro DANCE
that the G. o. P. will follow it.
Mrs. Medill Mccormick, chairman o
the Republican women's national exec
utive committee, wrote him that sh,
was very anxious to get the ideas o
farmers and farmers wives as to need
ed legislation, and Mr.. Bouck replict
as follows:
My Dear Mrs. Mccormick: I
have your letter of the :l0th ult.
We do not send our roster to the
general public-only to organiza-
tions of the Grange.
In answer to your question MS
to the needs of the farmer-l can
tell you that, which will insure
the Republican party carrying
every state west of the Mississippi
river.
First-Insert in the platform,
and give assurances Of earnest
ness, that no military training nor
huge expenditures for military
purposes will be allowed
Second-Give assurance that
the merchant fleet built up at the
expense Of the people shall re-
main in the hands of the govern
ment and be operated for the
service it may give to the people
not to further enrich the mon
ey kaisers Of this country.
Third-Give assurance that the
packing plants, flour mills, milk
condensers, elevators and all the
tools used in preparing and deliv-
ering the farmers products to the
consumers shall be taken over
and operated by the state for SER
vice, not profit.
F0urth-Give assurance that no
more war-breeding and producer
robbing protective tariffs shall
be c0untenanced.
Fifth-State explicitly that the
banking and money of the cOun-
try shall be a government prero.
gative and shall no more be used
as in the past in our country, to
build up and foster the greatest
highway robbery ever perpe-
trated upon any people in the his
tory of civilization.
Sixth-Give assurances that
the great voice Of the producers
or the land, fully 80 per cent,
shall be heard as against the 10
per cent who now have the ears
Of the government and who al
ways dictated its policy in indus
trial lines, no matter which party
occupied the White House.
The Montana nonpartisan. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1918-192?, 1919-06-21
Seventh-Give assurance that

Seventh-Give assurance that
no more prosecution for political
belief and religious opinion shall
disgrace our land, and state clear
ly that those already SO impris-
oned shall be released the min
ute you get the reins of govern
ment.
If the Republican party will
take this stand and couple with
the above that they will take
over the railroads at their actual
value and operate them for ser
vice to the public, they will over
whelmingly carry every western
state.
Thanking you for your interest
in the farmers welfare ! have
the honor to be,
Yours for the building up of
the farmer and his family,

STIRRING SPEECH ON PRIMARY
BY STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SHOWS GANG IN TRUE LIGHT
Labor Men Also tell Of Primary Fiqht

signing the petition refer these general

The Montana nonpartisan. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1918-192?, 1919-06-21

a we'll attended meeting in Bill
ings on June 18th, arranged by
the Yellowstone Trades and La
Dor Assembly as a means Of get
ting away with the signing Of the
petitions on the Primary.
The Attorney General was lis.
tened to with wrapt attention and
his sledge hammer hits at the cop
per crowd roundly applauded. HI
said in part, "The Primary Law
is the one safeguard by which the
people may elect their own repre-
sentatives and it should be pre-
served, and not altered so that il
is practically abolished. l do not
mean by that, that it is perfect
and does not need revision, but
there is a vast difference between
revising a law in the interests of
the people and abolishing it in the
interests Of Big Biz.
"The corporate interests of
this state have designed this law
for the especial purpose of de-
feating the now clearly expressed
will of the electorate and they
should not be allowed to get away
with it. l have studied the Am
endments very closely and each
and every one is carefully design
ed to rob the people of the right of
choice. The thing is an open and
obvious attempt to kill democracy,
but it will not. be done because
the people will not let it be done.
To Kill Women Suffrage.
Zone Of the reasons for the in
PRODUCTION of the Amendments, is
the fact that women are now vot-
ers and stand upon an equal foot
ing with men as political units. No
longer can the political hireling
go smugly round and fondel the
babies and praise the mothers in
an attempt to influence the vote,
and get away with it. No longer
is it possible for "the women s
place is in the home gang" to ex-
ert the pressure they used to.
Woman has arrived and she is
an uncertain quantity so far as
the professional politician is con-
ccrned. There is no way of sizing
her up and no telling what things
she will do to the old gang, if she
takes notion--so they have fig
ured out that it would be a good
thing if she could be kept ont of
the business as far as may be pos
sible.
"To this end they have fixed it,
to abolish the Primary where a
woman could go and vote in a
'!ignificd manner and they are
trying to force her to attend a
state convention knowing full |
well that most decent women
would rather be excused from such
IL gathering. But the women of
Montana are not being fooled by |
any such devise they are working
on the circulation Of petitions and
they are busy as is humanity pos
,ib,e.
Expense Barrier.
Another proof of the vicious
intent Of these proposed amend |
lnrnts is found in the clause which |
co1npc'ls the delegate to the state
to pay his own eNpens-
os there and back. Imagine some
poor drvlandcr or wage worker
in plcntywood having to lose time
and pay his way to kaispell, for
instance. A sweet chance he would
have of getting there or staying
The Montana nonpartisan. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1918-192?, 1919-06-21

on the job when he was there. Of
course the opponents of the Prim-
ary put this clause forward as an
shining example of the fairness
OF the Amendments and glowing
sample of the manner in which
graft is guarded against, whereas
it is precisely the opposite, and is
one OF the most dangerous of the
lot. A man who would not take
dictation from the copper crowd
would have to depend upon his
own resources, while the fellow
who promised to play "safe and
sane'', would be we'll looked af-
ter by his ''friends.
| Caucus System.
"The caucus system, my friends,
THE Attorney General said, er-
Aestly "is one of the worst things
that can happen to country. Un-
der it's evil sway the most vicious
and unfair legislation is enacted
and the most callous trading off
OF candidates indulged in, while
nothing can equal the appalling
squalor and degradation of poll
tical life under it's malign influ-
ence. Let us work to defeat the
thing let us sign the petitions and
have a fair election when all the
people can get out and vote, and
not when the great number of the
electors are busy on the farms. It
may be true that the trainers of
this bill are really desirous of Civ
ing the people a square deal, but
it is hard to believe when we re-
member that in order to protect
the public from the terrible res
possibility of electing the men it
wants, they are willing to spend
100000 of the public money to
do so, when it would be much bet
ter and easier either not to tam
per with the thing at all, or to put
it over to the general election.
A. 7. Woodruff president Of
the Citizen Labor Club of Great
Falls, was present and also spoke
giving short and illuminating
address upon the work of that or
ganiZation in Cascade County and
was listened to with great atten-
tion.
''We began said Woodruff,
three weeks before the city elec-
ton and we came within so votes
Of capturing the Mayors chair and
elected one Alderman. The club,
s. He continued works almost ex-
clusive}y amongst unionmen and
enrolls them on the card system as
dues paying members. It is not
a mere political party hunting
the spoils Of office, but is
part of the fighting forces Of the
labor movement.
Because it is. we have TAX
en- up the circulation Of petitions
in Great Falls and we are having
great success in the work. The
people of the nation must save
what remnants of Democracy are
still left and if the industrial bar
ons Of America are not going to
dominate the whole show, the
common people must be the force
which will prevent them: there is
no other.
The Citizen Labor Club is there
fore in the fight to a finish and
nothing shall prevent US doing,
our full duty short OF sickness or
death. -
