Mr.. Burleson accompanied the Or

action. He asserted that the Presi-

indicated that immediate return was
advisable and the House committee
having through hearings manifested
desire for action toward that end,
he felt it his duty to return operative

BATTLE FOR DEMOCRACY
RACES AT BAINVILLE

Bainville, April 16th.-The battle
for democracy goes merrilly on in
one of the Bainville pool halls. This
afternoon there happened a typical
occurrence for Bainville.
The owner of a pool hall made a
remark about the Nonpartisan
League and there happened to be a
person who belonged to that organi-
zation in the room and Of course he
spoke up for his organization which
led to blows or rather kicks after
the owner had exhausted all of the
vile names in his vocabulary, which
was sufficient as he is an ex-saloon
keeper.
The owner may have been sore as
the party had handful of chips
which he had won in a card game
and the owner may have taken this
means of getting them back, as the
manager followed the Lacquer outside
and took the chips away from him.
Occurrences of this kind happen
at Bainville quite often, and the re-
porter writes to the Producers News
81 will keep you informed so you
will know that there is at least one
town in the new county practicing
Bolshevist tactics"

FARMERS ELEVATOR TO
INVADE RICH SECTION

That an Equity line elevator will
be established at Stephen in one of
the richest grain sections of North
ern Minnesota to participate in the
big grain movement from that sec
ton the coming season, was assured
at meeting held there last week by
President j. M. Anderson, of the
Equity Co-Oferative Exchange. Sew
enty-five interested farmers attend
ed the meeting called by Mr.. Ander-
son, and many of them remained for
the entire afternoon during which the
matter of an Equity line or an indie
pendent house was discussed. At
the conclusion of the meeting, all but
two of those remaining, voted to
take stock in the Equity Co-Opera-
tive Exchange and to give all as
sistance needed in putting the Ex-
change in touch with other progress
sive farmers of that section.
The work of sellin stock for an
elevator will begin within 10 days or
two weeks, and a large list of farm
ers, whom neighbors declare will be

interested, has been put in the hands
of the Equity Exchange.
President Anderson's meeting was
the second one held at Stephen to
consider this question, within a
period of two weeks. At the first
meeting the Equity line system was
explained by F. E. Osborne, mana
ger of the elevator extension de-
partment, and committee of three
was appointed to investigate the
Exchange. The committee visited
the Exchange last week, and Presi-
dent Anderson invited all the COM
mittee members to his meeting.
When farmers learned that the
committee had returned they de-
manded their report and all three
responded, Thos. Olsen and George
W. Eastburn, praising the Equity as
strong farmer organization. Mr..
Olsen was particularly cordial in
commencing its bushes methods. The
third member of the committee, NJ.
Boyd, reported adversely, quoting a
mass Of statements that are being
circulated by the Chamber of Com
merce of Minneapolis, against the
Equity COOPERATIVE Exchange, and
advising the farmers to have moth
ing to do with it. Mr.. Boyd had pro-
cured these statements on a visit to
the Chamber of Commerce following
his visit to the Equity Exchange, and
when President Anderson asked him
in the presence of the large audi
ence where he had got them, Mr..
Boyd replied,
"Well-I didn't get them from
your friends"

of YOU, Mr.. Boyd" remarked Mr..
Anderson, "it is that You have come

now looking forward to an end to

been here at all times and I know
that every meeting held here the
speaker has been given a friendly
welcome and had anybody taken it
upon himself to cause a disturbance,
such party or parties would have
been taken care of in short order. If
you will refer to one OF your issues
OF about a year ago you will find an
article you copied from Froid pa
per and this was signed by twenty
five Nonpartisan farmers living
around Froid. They asked the bust
ness men of Froid to please explain
that if they were not backing the
disturbance which was pulled off at
a Nonpartisan meeting IN Froid, why
did they not protect that meeting for
them. / don't think Froid ever
answered the question.
The sheriff of Z Dsevelt county is
from Culbertson and / want to say
this for Mr.. Macy, that had he been
in Brockton the night the parties
there caused some trouble With q
Nonpartisan speaker, this man, who
ever he was, would have had Mr..
Nacey's protection and some one
would / feel sure, have been arrested.
But as Mr.. Macy was not there it
remains for somebody to get out a
warrant, and if any one will do this,
you can rest assured Mr.. Macy will
get the man.
The Searchlight, know, has not
been with the League and I, with
many others, tried to get him to be
fair on the question, but no chance.
But what has been printed in this
paper | feel sure cannot be laid to
our Culbertson business men, but
can be traced to the Montana Loyal
ty League that has nothing else of
any Importance to do.

lor, because I feel that Culbertson
is not getting a square deal in this
and | know that it is not your in
tention to be unfair or unjust if YOU
understand the thing fully.

Dear Sir:
am going to write you a few lines
regarding your stand on the Roose-
welt county seat question. Since your
last issue of April 18th, l have heard
considerable talk regarding the
Froid meeting and The Producers
News standing with Froid for coun-
ty seat.
My opinion is: This will do the
the Nonpartisan League no good.
There are great many members
of the League along the main line
of the Great Northern, and as the
League stands for square deal to
all it would not be fair to place
Roosevelt county seat on branch
line where nearly the entire county
would have to make that long round

Dear Sir:
AS member of the Nonpartisan

erty to express my mind about the
county seat fight which I see you

stuff;" think that is out of your
line altogether. Leave that up to
the people of this county and not up
to one little corner" You say:
Don't give the county seat to the
town that has been against the Nom
partisan League" Now, if you will
remember, you were molested at
Froid last year and in your paper
called for an apology from the
business men of Froid and so far
have failed to read of its ever being
made. You know very we'll that the

much?
l admit that the Searchlight rub
bed it into us farmers, but that is
not saying that that is the sentiment
OF the business men of Culbertson.
Now / think that your stand in
this fight should be neutral and if
you want to talk on that subject,
get figures and see just where the
best and cheapest location is situated
as the people will have to pay the
taxes and think that should be con-
sidered.
What is Froid's. coal resources?
How are they fixed up for water
and what is the show for sewerage?
Now / think that this is something
for you to LOOK after instead of tax

trying to serve the taxpayers.
Honest, don't you th1nk so, Mr..
Taylor?

Gentlemen:

tain, but have always been of the i'm
preston that James Foley, poet
laureate of North Dakota, was the
author of this bit of verse. This
little poem is great favorite among
Westerners and they take good
deal of pride in the sentiment ex-
pressed therein, but they take equal
ly as much pride in. the fact that
Jim Foley wrote it. I think a cor
rection and an apology is due Mr..
Foley and his admirers, who are
legion throughout the West.
