cd. and we fail here, the plundcrcrs'
will be secure another 100 ycaw.
At every election so far, the league
has come out victorious in a straight
fight we have always beaten the en-
cmy at every turn. We can win again
any time-in a straight fight with our
known enemies.
! League Harbors Some Bad Men.
Every forward movement in the
world has had among its trusted
workers and leaders towards, fools
and traitors So with the league.
When the plunderers cannot win
against the people in a straight fight,
they use secret methods to make the
people fight among themselves.
They get the people to fight among
themselves by going secretly to the
workers and leaders of the people.
There they confounI the fools, in.
timidate the towards, and buy the
traitors.
Fools and towards do not make ef-
ficient traitors. They. are just dUbs.
A traitor must have courage and
ability. He must also have the con-
fidence of. the people he would be-
tray. ..
Big inducements Offered.
A valuable traitor Is one who can
90 frequently into the camp of the
enemy, give them information, aid
and comfort, and still retain the con-
fidence Of the people. In an interview
he grects you royalty. The next day
he gets a boost in the enemy press for
opposing league measures, and do
ing it openly''-after the Legislators
have fully discussed and adopted
those measures, and 81 per cent of
the league legislators have agreed to
them and passed them and gone
home.
At Bismarck a league lawmakcr
was offered $4,000 cash, and further
financial help in any business venture
he might undertake. if he would vote
against the league bills. Other law
makers were approached. One day |
received a message from man who
said nc knew what certain gentlemen,
very substantial, Financially" would
do if I agreed to deal with them.
The campaign for signers to the
referendum bills is not going very
WE'LL Everywhere at the big meet
irgs, the people unanimously ratify
the laws made at Bismarck. Farmers
and business men alike arc willing to
have the league program carried out.
If it proves good for the people.
everyone will be better Oft. II it
praves bad, let's find it out. Anyway
they say, it is going to be tried, refer
endum of no referendum.
EcNHH Within
The enemy can do nothing from the
outside. The enemy know they can
do nothing from the outside. They
must work from within, to either dis
rupt the movement or cripple the ad-
ministration, so that the league pro-
gram now cannot be carried out
How much do you think 1t is worth
to those who have spent millions Ill
a vain effort to defeat the league, to
find traitor who is in position to
spike the league machinery from the
inside ?
It is my duty to warn you that the
traitor, aided by fools and towards, is
there inside, ready to spike the ma
chinery that is to carry out the league
program!
Men whom some of you would least
suspect.
If he fails to carry out his pur'
pose of wreck and ruin from the in
side. it will not be for. lack OF plans,
or disposition to carry them out. II
he does not go on, it will be for the
reason that when the eyes of all
those he would betray are turned his
way, he finds himself craven COW
ard. *
OF course the traitors will not op-
pose the whole program; flour mills,
elevators and all. They will oppose
four or five league measures signed
by Governor Frazier and agreed upon
almost unanimously by league law
makers, and everybody else except
the Fargo Forum, the gang it serves,
and this handful of double-crossers.
If those WHO think their Influence
in league circles Is sufficient with
the help of the gang we have defeated
time and time again, to result IN
those five bills being showed under"
were not out to double cross those
who have trusted them. they would
have come before the league caucus
aud given the legislators the benefit
of their criticism at the time the bills
were under discussion.
Then il the laws were wrong, there
