very nicely.
The Non-Partisan League works
only with the farmers and laboring
classes and has developed an organ
ization in few states to carry the
State Elections. Many voters were
mislead into voting for them, who
really did not know their true char
acter( and are now sorry of it for as
soon as they got in office they began
to show their true colors. Below is
letter from farmer in North Dako-
ia, written to Ford County man:
Cassilton, N. D., June A, 1920
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the
goth ult., would say that never was
an active member of the NonPartisan
League, but to begin with / believed
in the farm movement which was its
original intent, but it took only about
a yetar, when it developed into
rank socialistic movement.
Our State Government is so in the
socialistic majority that parties hold
ing public office of any kind are dis
missed and socialists imported from
other states put in their positions,
none of them either citizens or tax
payers of the state. Our Attorney
General and three other State Of
ficials are against the gang and this
to small extent keeps the socialists
from running off with the treasury.
In regard to Free Love this phase
of it is played up quite strongly by
the opposing party and there is quite
good deal of it, When the League
pass law taking nearly all the power
away from the State School Superin-
tendent and created a board tina.
took charge of all educational insti-
buttons. These were all socialists ap-
pointed by our socialist government
This board Immediately proceeded to
introduce some books and place them
in our travelling library, that were of
that nature and advocated changing
the mode of living, suggesting change
in the marriage laws, etc,
This very school law believe
broke the neck of the league as it
sent a string into the very heart of
every family in the state and woke
the people up to what was really GO
ing on at Bismark our State capitol.
In fact this is all headed off now and
l don't think we will ever hear any
more of Free Love in this state. Their
idea was to ihange all the text books
in our schools and have only books
of socialistic nature. That is they
were going to try to teach our chill
dren something we do not want.
The hail insurance law, of course
was a law that was going in a small
way before this gang of thieves
struck our state, and will in a few
years work out all right. 1t works on
an assessment plan, pays 81 an acre
of total loss, and last year it cost
about 25c per acre. 1t is not compul.
sorry except &c per acre which must
be paid by everybody who owns land
Every farmer has the right to cancel
his insurance except the &c per acre
which he has to pay. This is a good
law / believe but it takes time to get
it working quite right. The Non-Par.
tisan League does not deserve any
credit for this law as it was in for.
nation before their career started.
The state bank and its future ! an
quite alarmed over and I am afraiC
it will plan out to be a big gigantic
swindle, and nobody lief ito pay or bt
prosecuted. 1t has not been examin
ed or an examiner allowed since il
has been started and we have no way
of getting at it as the gang is in full
authority and there is no public &C
cess to it. 1t is compulsory for al
public funds to be deposited in this
bank and it has at some times had
as much as $34, 000,000.00 on depos.
it, all under control of a bunch OF
adventures with apparently nc
check on anything.
The Retail Stores are not state
owned but are owned by a few
shrewd crooks that found money so
easy to get both fro mthe farmers
and the State Bank that they star
ted a small line Of trem. So far
have not heard of any that have been
success. That was not the object
when organized. The object was to
get the farmers $4,000 for the priv.
