RETAIL MERCHANTS CONTRIBUTE
MONEY TO FIGHT The FARMERS

the Dakota State Journal published
at Minot, n. D., an irresponsible an
ti-league organ, for which they can
thank the local bankers and elevator
houses. The Montana & Dakota Ele-
vator Company is excessively active
along these lines as will be shown
later.
When the farmers know the source
of this anti-league, anti-farmer pro-
paganda, they will know just how
much attention to pay to the rot
which they receive through the
mails.
This Montana Loyalty League, it
seems, contributes money to help
corrupt elections, as it is reported
that that organization contributed
$3.50 help Redmond steal the
County Auditors Office in Sheridan
county.
The following letter is of great in
terest to the farmers:

Gentlemen:
You are, no doubt, aware that the
Montana Loyalty League is carrying
on an educational campaign for bet
ter Americanism and by the distri-
button of literature, and in other
ways, is endeavoring to warn our
people against the evils of Bolshe-
vism, I. w. w. ism and other radical
"isms" Of like nature. To carry on
this campaign successfully it is
necessary to employ a considerable

NO DECISION ON THE
BOND CASE YET
Famous Case Which Local Attorney
Is Trying in the Columns of the
Pioneer Press, Not Decided Yet.
REQUIRES PILES OF STUDY

The famous bond injunction case
which was tried before Judge Hurry
over a month ago has not been de-
clded yet. However, a decision is
looked for soon.
This case seems to be very COM
phcated and requires piles of study
it is the case that the firm of Bah
cock q Ellery have tried so thorough
ly in the columns of the Pioneer
Press.
After having heard the evidence
and carefully read the briefs, the
Producers News is able to report
that there is absolutely no merit to
the injunction whatsoever.
The only criticism that can be
made cf the board in this matter is
the amount of interest ON the bonds,
which might have been less. How
ever, the rate is not bad for a twen-
ty year serial funding bond.
In a case of exchanging funding
bonds, no bonds are actually offered
for sale. For example, A holds
$4,000 worth of county warrants
drawin six per cent. The county
commissioners offer to exchange GER
tain bonds for the warrants. If the
proposition looks good, A can ac-
cept the offer if he wishes, he does
not if he objects and would rather
keep the warrants. The law pro-
vides that the county commissioners
can fund Indebtedness on the basis
as scenes to the best interest of the
county, and the commissioners are
the judges.
Funding bonds are not sold as
bonds are usually sold, they are ex-
changed for evidence of indebted
ness already existing and do not
constitute an increase in the existing
indebtedness.
The county commissioners seem to
be in the right in this case and the
decision Of the court when it comes
will undoubtedly sustain them.

PRINCE DOLIN AP-
PLIES FOR ANOTHER
MONTHLY HANDOUT

Prince Dolin has filed claims with
the Office of the county auditor in
the sum of $4,304.31, which consti-
tutes his daily allowance of $100 per
day for the past 43 days.
It is thought that this will prob
ably be the last claim of any size
that the Prince will file before he
abdicates, for it is claimed that the
county commissioners will adver-
tise for bids for. the county printing
thereby saving the county about
$4,000 now for every time $4,000 is
paid out.
The one reason the proprietor of
the Pioneer Press is willing to give
up the county printing is the fact
that the county has so nearly
reached it's limits of indebtedness,
that the picking for next year does
not look very promising.

then all of our democracy that we
have been fighting and praying for
will have been knocked into a cooked
hat and our past efforts practically
wasted.
Just think, man, of what it means.
We want you to realize how aston
ishingly bright their chances are of
getting away with their game.
This special election is to be held
in September at a time when the
farmers are almost too busy to eat.
They couldn't have picked better
time for their purpose. You know
yourself what small percentage of
the farmers got out to vote at the
primaries last September.
SO, something must be done te
checkmate their scheme!
And something is being done!
LISTEN!
We are circulating a petition over
the entire state to have this matter
of changing the primaries REFER
RED TO THE PEOPLE at the next
general election, November, 1920.
This will not only save the state
tens of thousands of dollars that
would be spent in a special election,
but it will also give the people a
chance to vote on this most import
ant question at time when ALL
can go to the polls.
The thing to do then is to get Pc
titiOns i<tO the hands of every red
bloOded, live-wire booster who has
this movement at heart, and show
the political shysters and "paytriot-
ic" pr0fiteers that the common peo-
pie are overwhelming in favor of
having some voice in the selection
of candidates for public office.
Now then, let's get down to brass
tacks.
In order to refer this matter to
the people of the 1920 election, it is
necessary to procure the signatures
of Is per cent of the total vote cast
for Governor at the last general cleo
tiOn. That means I'VE must get 49,
600 signatures of men and women
covering a clear majority of half the
counties of the State. North Dakota
signed up 500 strong on their refer
endum measures. There is only one
thing that will prevent us from go
ing over the top in the same manner
as the North Dakota farmers did
and that is lack of action on YOUR
part.
What we want you to do is to take
five minutes of your time this very
evening and drop us line, telling
us that you will take a petition
around to your neighbOrs for their
signatures, and send us the names
of any others in your community
that would be willing to do the same.
This is little enough to ask with such
great issue at stake.
Soon as we get your reply we will
forward you one of the petitions with
full and clear instructions of what
little is necessary to be done to start
and finish the work of circulation.
One point we wish to indelibly i'm
press upon you nOw-the need for
immediate action. We MUST HAVE
all petitions in the hands of the
County Clerks not later than the end
of June.
That means ACTION.
County Clerks not later than the end

YOUR LIBERTIES ARE AT STAKE! ACT

The Montana Loyalty League, un-
der the direction of VIM. Campbell,
editor of the Helena Independent, at
the behest of the Anaconda Copper
Company, put a bill through the leg
islature, which they absolutely dom
mated last winter, calculated to de-
stroy the liberty and democracy for
which our boys fought, bled and died
by the thousand for, on the plains
of France last summer.
This hun organization masquerade
ing under the camoufage of the
Montana Loyalty League, plan on
crushing out the last vestige of de-
mocracy in Montana under the iron
hell of hunnish despotism.
The first move of the hun organi-
zation, the Montana Loyalty League,
is to destroy the primary election
law that is now among the democrat
ic laws of the Treasure state. When
this evil design is accomplished by
this sinister gang of hunnish prof.
teer and autocrats, the destruction of
the rest of he laws safeguarding the
people will be attacked.
Only a short time ago, this Mon
tana Loyalty League went into our
University and secured the dismis-
sal Of Professor Levine, because he
had written book on taxation which
exposed the fact that the Anaconda
Copper Company are not paying
any taxes to speak of and how that
company has arranged to keep from
paying these taxes.
The people came to the rescue OF
Professor Levine and the Montana
Loyalty League had to suffer the hu-
initiation of seeing their man, Fri
day, the Governor of this state, re-
store the professor to his chair at
the University.
If the farmers and lovers of the
ideals of democracy but rally, the
primary law can be saved, but actioI
must be taken at once.
Remember, your liberties and your
free institutions are at stake.
You have given your money to buy
bonds.
You have given generously the
blood of your sons on the fields of
France for Democracy; to make the
world safe for democracy!
Now will you forsake the Demo
cratic institutions of your own home
state?
YOU WILL NOT!
Following is a call to arms sent
out by the State Office of the Nonpar-
tisan League office, at Great Falls,
which office is taking the lead in the
great offensive against the foes of
democracy in Montana.

cunning enemies.

Judging from the countless preparations
