Dakota program to the state of
Washington, is at least going to
bring forth corns, bunions and
other sore spots which will tend
to retard progress, cripple pros
perity, and cramp the happiness
and contentment Of the people
as a whole.
For the sake of the argument
we shall admit that the league
has accomplished in North OAK
ota all it's leaders claim for it.
These leaders boast that they
have built up a great and power
full political machine, Of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the
people. North Dakota was one
of the few states in the Union
where such a thing could be done.
The farmers are the people -
the whole people, or practically
so. Eighty-nine per cent of it's
entire population is rural. 1t has
no large cities, it's largest being
smaller than Walla Walla. It's
whole economic life, and conse-
