government in the losses he has sus-
tanned, than those who work short
hours for high wages in other occu-
pations than farming.
It is a misfortune that farmers OF
this county have a newspaper pro-
tending to represent their real in
terests, but which seizes on every
little opportunity to distort the Ian
guage and misinterpret the motives
and meaning of those who oppose
the political schemes Of A. C. Town
ley and his associates, who are now
in control of the government of the
state and nearly all its branches.
Such advocates and pretended
friends of the farmers are surely
wrecking the prospects of accom-
plishing much real benefit for farm
ers and for every resident OF the
state as we'll, out Of program
which at one time had much to COM
mend and to hope for.
The bitter attack on Mr.. Elewett
is at any rate consistent with the
policy of the Press, which keeps
we'll away from the truth. Mr.. Ble-
wett, being tied up by an important
business engagement on Monday
evening, agreed with the represen-
tatives of the Townley organization
to go to their meeting place and
make the same speech any time af-
ter May 3rd, up to which date he
will be busy getting ready sale of
city lots, and also agreed to induce
several younger business men Of the
city to accompany him there. This
was we'll understood by the commit
tee rendering the invitation, and
the men agreed to state these facts
to the meeting.
None Of this was brought out IN
the distorted attack in the Press.
That paper charged rank cowardice
as the reason for non appearance,
and made that false charge the
means of a lengthy piece Of decep-
tive propaganda.
Readers of the Press. however,
have 'oNg ago observed that nt'
statement is too rank for it to make
if It in any way will aid the p3li1i
cal purposes Of Townley an. his
clique. 1t is not a farmers paper,
but the organ Of political boss.
and what it says is naturally dis
! counted about 100 per cent.
There is no question about tke in
tagrIty Of Mir. Blewett or Of his
fear;s:ssness in setting forth his con
"ictiors The Press and the Town
ley organization have much to lose
by SO contemplate an attack on a
youn" man born and reared here,
and VINO favors so strongly the
healthy growth and well being Of

In q strenuous effort to create
prejudice among the farmers of the
county. the Stutsman County Press
attacked George Blewett, for a re-
cent remark made in a speech in
Orlady hall In jamestown. The
speaker referred to certain acts -
the state administration as carry
ing out policies Of socialism, during
the late war, which in his opinion
proved harmful to the best inter-
ests of North Dakota. By purpose
ly misinterpreting the plain mean
ing Of the speaker, the Press tries
TO make it appear that he included
all the supporting members Of the
Nonpartisan League as favoring So
cialism, :bolshevism, and schem es
hatched out by the enemies Of the
government.
Everyone who heard the speaker
we'll understood that he made a
clear distinction between the farm
or members of the league and the
radical leaders like Townley and
Brinton. The speaker and everyone
else knows that the members of the
League in North Dakota, are and
always have been opposed to social
ism and to its kindred schemes o:
government, and are not the enc.
mics of law and order, which the
Press would have Mr. Blewett de.
clare. On the contrary the speak
er's language distinctly placed the
present leaders, and organizers OF
their league and the policies they
have executed by legislation in this
state. in class by themselves, and
the voting, contributing members OF
the league In another class.
Mr.. Blewett well knows, as does
every intelligent man, that the far
mers of this country are regard led
now, as in the past, as the chief re-
lance for the stability of American
institutions as handed down by
Washington and Lincoln and tn,
other great men who have helped
to make this country worth while.
Loyalty of the farmers to the
government has never been honest
ly questioned by anyone who knows
the burden the farmers have car
ried, not only in the past history OF
the country, but in the late war. II
is we'll known that the farmers havH
since 1911, personally sacrificed
more, in the sale of their grain, Il.
prices fixed by the government
than any other class OF population,
and this was done in order that
cheap bread might be had for those
who live in the cities and towns,
and who labor in the shops, on tho
railroads and in the factories. The
farmer has given far more to the
