will be based either on prejudice or
an opinion. Every voter to per-.
form their duty as citizens should
their vote upon their thot out opin-
ion.
There are two forces contending
for supremacy in the present cam
naign. The forces of Progress re-
presented by the organized mem
bership Of the Nonpartisan League
and their sympathizers on one side
and the forces Of. special privilege,
unjust exploitation and robbery re-
presented by the I: V. A. on the
other.
The Nonpartisan League has a
constructive program to bring about
better conditions thru >state2 owned
mills. Terminal Elevators, cold stor-
age, just grain grading, state hail
insurance. a State Bank to stabilize
and mobilize the peoples credit and
{. policy of establishing equitable
freight rates within our state that
will enable all industries and activ-
tiles of our people to have an equal
opportunity with other states.
During the last several campaigns
the I. V. A.. leaders and speakers
have. repeatedly admitted every
contention of the organized farm
ers. They admit the unjust condi-
tions. they admit that the grain
gamblers control and manipulate
the market for our products; they
know and admit that the interlock-
ed grain gambling and large bank
ing intereAs of the Twin Cities, Chi
cago and Duluth, restrict the credit
facilities df the farmers and busi7
ness men Of our state and then ad-
NIT as the. I. V. A. candidate for
governor in the primary. VIM.
LANCER, did that the original" N.
P. L. program was the only con-
structive remedy offered to cure
these evils and as the present I: Y.
A. candidate for governor does
when he says he is in favor of the
state mills and elevators and voted
for them, but who the records OF
the House show voted against the
necessary bond issues to build and
operate them.
The organized farmers of Burke
county appeal to the business and
professional men and women to lay
aside your Irejudice-the prejudice
that has been engendered by the
organized propaganda of the ex-
plotting and robb1slg interests that
will lose their graft when our pro-
gram is carried out-and get on the
right side of this fight; vote with
and not against the best friends you
have: We are fighting foI* your
interest as well as our own. Your
prosperity depends on ours. You
cannot be very prosperous when we
are held up and robbed by these in
terests that are gambling in our
products and restricting our credit
as your own leaders ADMIT iney ar
doing. We are still the best friends
you have altho many of you have
done everything under the sun-in-
stigated by false propaganda-to
prevent us from being your friends.
In fighting for our rights we fight
for yours. The same profiteers
that rob us also rob You. Get onto
yourselves, get on the right side.
Only one excuse Is left you for
opposing us after your leaders ad-
mission that the condition of which
we comp plttlu cAlSLS dIlU LudI Jul
program is the only chance for re-
lief that has been brot forward;
and that excuse is that "you do no1
like our leaders," Business ana
professional men and women think.
Why don't, you, like our leaders,
Is it because the members OF the
Chamber of Commerce do not like
them? They don't! Their recos-
nized organs of publicity the Min
neapolis Journal. Tribune, the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch,
the Fargo Forum. Jerry Bacon's
Herald and the Bismarck Tribune
do not like our leaders. There are
none Of the profiteers that like our
leaders, not one. The large banks
and trust companies who give un-
Limited credit facilities to the
gamblers in our products, but re-
strict your credit and ours do not
like our: leaders. And the fact
that our leaders have drawn the
fire and receive the abuse OF ines:
profateers should be evidence to you
as it is to us that our leaders are
not 80 bad. Throw off your blind
ing prejudice Get on the rigfs
side.. The profiteers. have hauled
