The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1920-10-06


Bill" Prater, county manager, has
lined up a number of Nonpart1san
women whose husbands are on the
payroll and they are being coached
Tons of literature are available ano
some of the tracts being passed out
are headed "What Do You Know
About Free Lover; Crooked Poll
tics as played by ]. F. T. O'Connors
l. V. A. Gang; "Martyred Minnie
and Bulletin No. 9 (this looks like ii
was produced in the Appeal to Reason
office).
There is also a good supply of the
league newspapers on hand-the fifty
three varieties supported by public
county, legal notices ct al.
The women attendants are becom-
ing quite adept at political argument
They have Towliley's arguments
against big Biz" down to a fine
point. 80
The Trib1he sent representative
there yesterday for Eight on the New
Day"
The woman in charge was willing
to give all the information she had
at her command.
81 went to hear O'Connor Monday
evening" she said, "but to tell yon
the truth he had nothing refreshing
to Offer
Then she went down into the pile
of tracts and dished out Bulletin No.
9 in which the people of Bismarck
are reminded: E
'.There are from three to six million
American children who are not get
ting enough to Seat-Why?'
Just what Bismarck's quota of the
six million is, was not divulged.
rMartyred Minnie is the most
startling piece Of political literature
It is handed to the women callers and
is an excellent sample of the political
poison which "Bill' Prater's sob
squad is peddling over the county
Here is a nice, "ladylike' sentence
"You don't care what report Miss
Nelson makes to her Minneapolis
masters,sbut you do care what report
she makes to your fellow worl(rs in
Minneapolis. 1t is up. to you to wire
and write laber leaders in Minneap-
oils, refuting the vile lies spread by
this paid and unprincipled propagand-
ist ri licensed gr.aft' tM
"Unprincipled Propagandist OF Ii
) censed Graft
Those are harsh words are they not
women voters of Bismarck?
1t seems certain now that the per-
sons in, charge of the Nonpartisah
league campaign among the women OF
Bismarck are not going to be outdone
in billinsgate by the leaders OF the
mems campaign. s,.. ........
This is the dainty little argument
being given to the women of Bis
marck engaged in business activities
and in fact to all women wage earn
ers:
But Miss Nelson wants additional
power so that she may obey the
mandates Of the capitalists OF the
Twin Cities, because the people OF
North Dakota refuse to grant her
these additional powers she returns
to Minneapolis to tell her Capitalistic
Masters that the naughty North Da-
kota workers refuse to be dominated
by industrial autocrats, and that they
must, therefore, beatruly bolshevists.
Someone told Miss Nelson that. all
bolshevists were free lovers, so she
concludes that YOU ARE ALSO A
FREE LOVER" a.
Choice language to be peddled
throughout the city by the women
workers of the Townley league. bill
Prater knows on what plan to pltch
a campaign when he makes,sa drive
against "Martyred Minnie
Z But "Bill' Prater does not stop at
this limit He is real savage cam
paigner when his job as homebuilder
is at stake.
Deliver Burleigh this fall or walk
the plank" are Bills" instructions
and after feeding up on raw meat
faithful Bill" Prater makes anothe {
vicious attack:
"And she wants to hit you, because
she is in the employ of the Gr4in
Gamblers" continues the tract on
"Martyred Minnie !.
No mincing of words there. This
Sixth street voters school believes
in putting pep into the curriculum.
1t was thought that Neil c. Mac
Donald could sling nasty pen, but
Homebuilder Bill" has got that pedl-
greed schoolmaster backed off the
stage.
"Bilrs' essay on "Martyred Min
ME" goes on to say:
Miss Nelson told the people OF
Minneapolis that the farmers ana
workers Of North Dakota were free
lovers and were nationalizing or pre-
pairing to nationalize their women.
Remember you are worker. When
Miss Nelson denounces the North Da-
kota State Government as immoral
she is Hitting You!"
Here is fine little gem tucked
away in Bills" essay on "Martyred
Minnie"
- Miss Nelson told the people of
Minneapolis her power had been TAX :
en- from her. What power belongs to
