Alfred Steel Presides

Alfred Steel, independent candf-
date for the state senate and who
defeated N. e. Whipple, the Town
ley candidate, by large majority
in the June primary election, pre-
sided at the meeting. Mr.. Steel
first called upon Rev. Phillips, who
,invoked the Divine blessing on the
meeting and its deliberations.
Mr.. Steel gave brief address in
which. he welcomed the women to
an equal place with the men as vot-
ers Of the county. He declared that
It seemed as IL he could hear the
voice Of the women saying 1--WE are
coming several million strong" and
that he believed were coming at 2
very critical period in the history OF
the state and nation. He said that
the issues in the present campaign
were much larger than any candi-
date, declaring that the election OF
Mr.. O'Connor as governor or any
set of men to Office this year were
merely incidental but that the
principles supported by these men
were of utmost importance.
In his Introductory remarks Mr..
Steel referred to the fact that this
meeting was the first in which men
and women met In a political gath
ering on equal terms, and he pre-
dicted that the results of the fall
election would be determined large
,ly by the votes Of women. He re-
ferred to speech by Governor Fra
zier, WHO had said In the armory q
short time before that any citizen

had ioined hands with those oppos-
ed to turning the state of North Da-
kota over to the political control
Of the socialist machine, bent on
overturning our whole economic
system.
Real Object of League Leaders
q 8. Buck, in a brief and clear
manner pointed out the difference
between the original farmers pro-
sram and the socialist plans OF the
Nonpartisan League leaders, as re-
yealed in legislation passed at the
1919 session. The farmers orlslnal
program was intended to bring
about certain reforms which were
commendable, such as tmproved
conditions of marketing farm pro-
ducts.
Some of the other things done by
the legislature were we'll considered
such as the workmen's compensa-
tion law, the full crew bill. and per-
haps the home builders law. But
these were not the real objects and
purposes of the league leaders.
Back of ell in their minds. and In
the minds of the men responsible
for the farmers organization, is the
intent to destroy the government
and turn oyer to the individuals the
property Of others under the guise
Of state ownership. The govern
tment as we want it is to protect all
classes. The socialists want the
state to own everything andSthe cit
izen to exist for the state. Here IN
North Dakota are forces aiming to
bring about the same theory of gov
ernment as is held In Russia, to
blind the citizen Of the state, the
state to take the property OF the

Washington, Oct. 13.-Genera]
bankruptcy and ruin are inevitable

found to relieve the present price sit

the situation. The report was adopt
ed by the conference without dis

The committee blames the federal
reserve system for present prices.
charging it "has arbitrarily withheld
from assisting basic industries of
their country to maintain a level Of
prices that is at least cost of produc-
ton"
Declaring that tn econdition of the
mind of the farmer population Is
"ominous" the committee says "this
state of mind can only be changed
by frank and fair attitude on the
part of those in authority-the test
which can be only their acts.">
Representatives of agriculture. at.
tending the meeting here were hope
full today that President Wilson
would give an audience during the
day to a committee which planned't
protest to him against the currency
deflation policy of the treasury de-
partment.
A request for q conference with
members of the cabinet participating
was made to the president yesterday
by Senators Overman Of North Caro-
lima and Harris of Georgia. acting In
behalf of the farmers organizations
represented at the meeting.
A delegation expected also to carry
their appeal for q, more liberal gov
ernment policy with respect to loans
