say nothing after making hard fight
against it in the last election. Our
brother farmers around here are get

letting them vote OH certain things, Us
the league told them they should have
q chance to before election. They
have commenced to holler already and
Say no more league for them. Before

Biz has had IL lifetime of experience.
Now, who do you imagine will come
out best?j If,sydu think, Mr.. Farmer,
it is SO EASY to buck up against some
thing Of this kind and see the outcome.
Mr.. Taft has said the league was dig
ging its own grave, and we are paying
very dear for the job. b ,
Our school system was fine two years
ago and no doubt would have: gone
along just as smooth us 1t ever did had
Miss Nelson had u chance but there
is no chance with such selfish, unfair
people at the head of the state. Had
it been Kate no doubt she would have
had hearty welcome. One Of the
writer's flor the league paper stated he
thought Mr.. Townley would be ready
for President Wilson's shoes when the
president was done with the Job. I
think it Is time for Mr.. Baer to- draw
d picture for Townley's funny paper,
showing the league men on their way
to Washington.
4 EAnd you taxpayers better asks your
self if the % per cent. bunch is fgoing
to help you out when the pinch comes.
Did you ever borrow. when the pay
day didn't roll around? Nobody but
men like your leader, Mr.. Townley, cpn
get by with that kind of stuff. And
IL you're not in the lead, drawing the
small sum Of $3.50 Der month, n it is
time to drop out and get into some
thing honorable, and not an institution
to uphold horse thieves and in fact
anything to beat some man out of his
money he has saved. If you do not
believe this look at some of the ap-
pointments, and see the laws they arc
trying to put through.
If you are d Christian man and
think Townley all right, read his
speech in the Tribune of Fe:,. IL, 1918,
then read the speech Of Il man, Mr..
Taft, and see the difference. Mr..
TOwnley's talk is just like his press,
full of soft stuff to the fl rlMer. but
this seems to be what the farmers Of
North Dakota want.
The trouble with Mr.. TawElcy he al
ways starts in business ut the wrong
end (the top). Start boy out with
an oversupply Of money and what will
happen. You ut once would say fail
ure. and as sure as fate III, league has
u big start on that line
MIR. Frazier must not forge. there Is
always room for the COOL men, Mt the
top, and it would be foolish 10 think
they would stick to a state like North
Dakota when they can get job In
some patriotic country.
Wishing success to all the boys who
are scrapping. and If they only stick
to the ship a couple of years they will
have easy sailing, as the league is
losing fast
Yours respectfully.
, CHAS. BURLINGTON.
