STINK BOMBS All:
y FAILING; IN n. D.

Do YOU know how the League
campaign was financed? Do you
know who put the money up to pay
for the speakers, the printed mat
tel, .hc hall rent and all the: para>
phernalia Of political war? & You
know? 1t was the SIS that the
League member pays in as dues. ~
/. The I..',F. a.. says you are mistake
en-! + Yes, sir! First you were an
SIS sucker. Now you faint" !"
You never paid in a cent! Where
did tho money come from? The I.
V A. has a pat and neat eXplana-
ton. Governor Frazier and joan
Hagan went up and bought Il
flour mill for the state at Drake
and paid for it. Then they turned
around and executed a trust deed
for SIS, O,000-and with that mon
ey the League is waging it's cam
paign! Honest, now, isn't th..t
about as high-fown Il campaign
"tcry as you have met. in your
travels? The fellow that invented
thai one deserves credit for two
thi1s g:2---having q hign-powered inn
aginaticn and getting the ordinary
campaign lie out Of the common
rut, Us g new one-nct only
that. it's q new kind of one.
That's the sort Of argument"
the I. V. A. is shooting in this
campaign. Nothing but stink
bo,nbs-not a high explosive in the
whole ammunition dump.
Here's another one: A farmer
writes the Leader and says the
farmers in his country are stirred
up because the I. V. A. crowd has
let it be known that the League
has so arranged the tax laws that
if a man fails to pay his taxes and
does not redeem in two years, TIE
state confiscates his land and runs
the farm. That has not even the
merit Of having a good magma
ticn behind it. Think of a legisla-
ture composed OF farmers passing a
law that will take their own pro-
perty from them! There is not
farmer in this state who is not liza
Bile to get in a corner some time
through bad crops and having half
his products stolen. and find him
self unable to nay his taxes for a
year or two. The League farmers
know it-altogether too we'll. Then
think Of the farmer voting into ct
feet such a a,law. The most ignor-
ant farm mer-even the I. V. A. farm
er-if such there can be---knoWs
better than that. +
There you have it. The League
proposes a certain program ofHcon-
struction and sets out to argue on
,it and the 1. ". A. says: "Oh, bless
you, the program is all right, but
look who is doing it," and starts
into operation the munition factory

wonder they can'tsWin an election.

League c: Rallies Draw Big
Crowds in Burke COun(Q

Through the aid of special repre-
sentatives The Tribune was able to
get report on several of the more
enthusiastic League rallies in the
county held during the past week,
and these. show that the farmers
are more enthusiastic over their
program now than they ever were
before. The rallies at Powers
Lake and Battleview were especial
": well attended by 1arge~a and en-
thusiastic crowds. *.
POWERS LAKE MEETING
This meeting was held~last Sat-
urday evening at the Ole Slotsve
place, and was attended by over
$50 people. S. M. Jensen acted as
chairman, and much credit is due
to him for the way in which he
started the parade through main
street up through town and out to
the Slotsve place. It was entirely
different than the I. v. A. meeting
which had no speaker (wh0 should
have been Bull Langer). The
and in addition to this Senator Ing
erson and Attorney Geo: H. Noel
lring spoke. This meeting showed
was stronger in the Powers Lake
and Battleview country than ever
before in spite Of all the knocking
done by the predatory forces and
the Powers Lake Echo. No sheriff
with bunch of deputies had to be
called to protect the speakers, and
there was no one hurt either. All
the league county candidates were
present and gave short talks. The
Powers Lake band furnished the
music, and has the thanks Of the
entire crowd present. Oscar Fer
an sang two very appropriate songs
which met with the hearty and en-"
thusiastic approval of the entire
audience. It. may sound queer,
but the few scattering I. V. AS.

The league meetings held in all
parts Of the county during the past
week have been attended by large
numbers Of people everywhere, and
the voters seem to be more enthus-

didates for county Offices were pres

afternoon of last week. In spite
Of the fact that the farmers were

talk. The next meeting was held at

crowd was present. Other meet

two weeks ago are dead. The only
hoppers to be found now are those
which hatched out during the past
week or ten days. None larger
than half an inch long can be
found. and it is believed that those
that hatched out a month ago
would be fully an inch long if they
were alive now. The cold rains
during the latter part of May and
first part Of June seem to have
done the business.
The organization perfected here
to fight the hoppers and the large
amount of poison on hand seem to
be equal to the occasion. as the
poison could be delivered anywhere
as fast as it was wanted, and it
proved to be very effective every.
where. For day or two last
week there was no more bran on
hand here, but another carload ar
rived and there is now plenty Of
everything to last during the bal
ance of the season. The poison
mash mixing machine purchased by
the county has been put to work at
the local light plant where it is be-
ing run with a motor, and those
wanting the poison all ready mixed
have been obtaining it here.

LEAGUE Loses in Minnesota
Primary Election Monday

The latest returns Of the primary
election held in Minnesota on Mon
day OF this week indicate that al
though the Farmcr-Labor forces
made a gain Of over 10000 votes
over the election Of two years ago,
they failed to win out over the
predatory forces. The league nam
ed two candidates Tor congress-, and
may also name the attorney gen
e1al, bur there is little hope Of the
league candidates for other state
Offices getting the nomination.

This can be sprinkled on with a
