Montana Loyalty League.
Gentlemen: was not aware that
was a, member Of your so-called 10y
atty League, having never enrolled as
such. Of course I understand thor
oughly the aims of your organization
which is taking advantage Of the spirit
of the times to make desperate last
stand in behalf of those forces Of
greed and power which have held our
glorious republic and especially our
own beautiful state in thralldom so
long.
The example and experience of our
sister state, North Dakota which stands
so squarely in the forefront of every
movement for greater patriotism and
stronger national ties should prove to
all minded people the fallacy Of
your puerile arguments.
/ am member of the Nonpartisan
League, an Organization composed Of
farmers who realize that only through
the intelligent cooperation Of all plain
American citizens can our splendid ma
ton be redeemed from the corruption
which has insnared it that the princi-
pies for which our truly great have Ia
bored be not defeated and that "this
nation under God shall have new
birth of freedom and a>government by
the people, for the people and of the
people, shall not perish from the

equal advantage in every line of busi-
ness for the farmer.
One of the beautiful facts about the
Nonpartisan League is that they do not
advocate any reforms except those OBJ
tanned through the ballot, and I have
no patience with any man or set Of
men who seek by misrepresentation and
falsehoods to defeat the object Of the
ballot, the one great and sacred hertz
age Of every American citizen.
was very much surprised at your
statement that more than so per cent
Of the voters Of the United States fa-
vor government ownership of large
public utilities and that the only thing
that kept them from it was small or
ganization Of patriotic business men
numbering less than six hundred all
told.
Can it be possible that these. "less
than six hundred" believe in the De-
mocracy our boys have been fighting
for, when they by your own statement
are all that keeps one hundred and ten
million American people from obtain
ing the just fruits Of their ballot3
Why man! there were more than six
hundred people connected with the au-
tocratic rulers of Germany, surely you
must be mistaken in making such a

erwise. The Nonpartisan League is
not Socialism, as you would like for
us to believe. The dirty deal handed
to Professor Levine, dean of economics
at the state university by the dirty cop
per crowd is enough to make the peo-
pie sit up and take notice, it shows
very plainly who has control of the
state government at Helena.
And your idea that public owner
ship means higher living, Bunk all
Bunk. You cannot slip that Lie over
Nonpartisan League member. And
you also believe that corrective legisla-
tiop is needed, how nice of you. Yes,
no doubt of it, it will be coming in
pretty large bunch in 1920, ha, ha, ha.
Get that.
So we should worry about your dir
ty lies, for you cannot fool us any long
er, and after spring work is finished,
then l am going to arrange for several
Nonpartisan League meetings in this
community, and do all in my power to
get all the new members that I can,
You and your dirty lying copper
crowd have not got power enough to
turn me against the Nonpartisan Lea
que, so keep your dirty lying letters
and papers to yourself, and save the
stamps.
No am not interested in your dir
ty Lies. Think this over.

Te1gfdue, U10HC', rcU: II 1010'
Mr.. Will A. Campbell,
Dear Sir: You letter of Feb. IL re-
ceived tonight and was surprised to
learn that had been mentioned to you
as prominent member Of the Nonpar-
tisan League.
l have no desire to be prominent in
an reorganization, but if I did desire
prominence know Of no organization
in the world that it would give me more
pleasure to be prominent in than the
National Nonpartisan League, an or
ganization made up Of good, honest,
had-working, tillers of the soil.
heartily agree with you, that it is
not necessary to overthrow our govern
ment in order to obtain fair deal and

compelled to take a loss Of near six hum
dred dollars and why is the working
man paying 10 cents per pound for his
bacon when I only get ID IL cents per
pound live pork9 Do any Of those six
hundred have anything to do with
that9
If you want to be fair, why don't
you cite us to the great strikes and
mob violence in North Dakota, where
the League is in power or to some Of
the laws they are passing there, such
as: The Bank Of North Dakota. The
home building association or some of
those other laws that are overthrow
ing our government. Why don't you
point to Governor Frazier as shining
example of the awful menace you speak
of.
Yours respectfully,
A. E. CRAMER.
Mr.. Will A. Campbell,

Sir: In reply to your dirty letter Of
2-13-1919. So you think that might
be interested in the enclosed article
about the onward march Of Socialism,

Harlowtown, Mont, 2-2O-19
Montana Loyalty League,
Helena, Mont.
Sirs: Received your letter and leaf
let of Feb. z.
Have been disregarding all mail COM
ing from you, but as you ask for an
answer will write this time. 1 consider
it an insult to be called a member OF
the Montana Loyalty League. I am not
member and never will be.
You talk about arraying one class
against another. That is just what you
are doing when you call me member
and keep on knocking me, and my fel-
low citizens, all through your leaflet.
If any trouble is stirred up you are
doing it.
In your leaflet you make an attack
on the Nonpartisan League by telling
a mess of dirty, low down lies.
Remember, l am a member Of the
Nonpartisan League and have been
long before your league was ever
known.
have heard Townley with my own
ears.
All your radical stuff will not turn
me against my organization. All it
does is let me know who you are.
Instead of being blindfolded, the
members of the Nonpartisan League
whom I know, are the intelligent,
prosperous, progressive and forward
looking farmers who recognize i'm
provement when they see it. Those far
mcrs who are willing to listen to, and
believe the insidious lies you are ped
ding, are the backward kind, who, like
the Chinese, believe ''what was good
enough for their ancestors is good
enough for them.
l have labored hard and produced
food enough for many soldiers. Have
you produced enough to feed your
selves9 You remind one of dog who
bites his master when he feeds him.
I have faith that the present govern
ment under the leadership of President
Wilson will avert the social revolution
which you and other questionable Or
carnations of your kind are preaching.
You call yourselves a Loyalty League
To whom are you loyal?
Yours for government OF the people,
by the people, and for the people.

SOME RESULTS

National Nonpartisan League,
Great Falls, Mont.
Dear Sir: I herewith enclose
check for re-enrollment in the
League.
I received a letter and pamph-
let couple Of days ago, from W.
A. Campbell, secretary for the
Montana Loyalty (To Copper)
League, and must say that the
reading of same has awakened
me to the fact, that I was neglect
ing my duty, in delaying my re-
enrolment another day.
Here's hoping that the same ef-
feet may be produced on every
farmer that receives one of those
pamphlets.
Very truly yours,

MIR. Will A. Campbell,
Sec. Montana dis-Loyalty League, Hell
ena, Mont.
Sir: am returning your letter and
pamphlet. In this letter you refer to
me as a prominent member Of the Non
partisan League. Very cheap flattery.
You admit that the farmer has griev-
ances and should have equal advant-
ages with other lines Of business, yet
you by half truths and misrepresenta-
tions are trying to kill the only means
by which we farmers may secure JUS
tice. You call us ''Deceived" and "De-
luded," as if we were children and did
not know our own minds.
When we wanted to tax excess war
profits you called us "Disloyal." /"
When we wanted the mining interests
to pay an equal tax with the farmer
you say we arc trying to confiscate
property. You talk lot about claw
and Order" yet when farmer tries
to hold meeting you break it up with
mobs.
I am sending your rotten trash back.
Keep it L hope every other League
member will do the same.
Respectfully,
A true blue American citizen.

L0CCMOBILE USED
BY ARMY GENERALS

Harry 7. Graham OF the Wilmington
Automobile Company has received the
following letter telling OF the pros
poets for the Locomoblle car during
this year. and also the important part
that car has played in the war;
Mr.. II. T. Graham, President Whining
ton Automobile Co., Wilmington. Del.
Gentlemen: The end OF the war
makes II possible for us TO tell Locomo-
bile owners something OF the service
rendered by the car in France, with
out. we hope. overstepping the bounds
OF good taste.
A year ago the government purchased
a number OF regular Locomobile limou-
sines Tor use by the general stan OF
the army in France. These cars have
been in the mos. active and critically
important service ever since. To be-
gin with, they were driven sixty miles
an. hour from Port to Paris. so that
distinguished parsonage might use one
on an important trip.
General Persh.ng, commanding gen.
eral. and the general stan, including
such officers as General Bliss. Lieuten-
ant General Liggeti, Lieutenant General
Bullard, Major General Harbord, Major
General Rogers and others have used
the Locomobiles regularly.
a chassis with custom body was or
dered fo- General March. chief OF the
general stan In America, so that here
and abroad the general staff OF the
army has depended on the LocomobilS
for fast transportation. None Of these
generals Is g young man, and the com.
bina.ion OF safety. reliability and com
! fort offered In such abundant measure
by our car. made its use perfectly log.
lcal and natural.
The Secretary Of War rode IN these
general stan cars when In France. So
did Colonel House, and now as a fnal
honor a Locomoble Limousine has been
ordered and shipped abroad for the use
OF the President OF the United States
at the greatest international event In
the worlds hlstory-the Peace Confer
ence OF Paris.
The cars have been subjected 10 the
hardest work imaginable. They have
been operated from 200 10 800 miles a
day al full speed, running from point
to point on schedule time. As a result
OF the wonderful service. which they
gave, we received an order for more OF
them. These matters, we consider, will
be Of interest 10 you as they are OF deep
pride 10 us. This letter is sent only
10 our owners.
The works OF the company at Bridge
port are busy producing material for
the government and will be for some
months, but we will be able 10 give
close attention 10 your requirements
and to resume the usual limited pro-
ductlon Of cars in a very satisfactory
manner.
An announcement is enclosed which
corrects any impression that we cannot
supply patrons with cars OF that the
policy Of the company will be In any
degree mod.ned. There will be no
changes In design or construction. or
no reduction In prices.
Very truly yours,
THE LOCOMOBILE COMPANY or
