boycott of the farmers against all
the business men of the state of North

Mr.. Mann has at last ''come out Of
the brush," he's fighting more openly
than ever before with no subterfugo
and has Joined forces with the poison
ivy squadron. He like the others Of
the old gang, fed by the farmers in
the past, pap fed now, cries "Town-
ley" and then admits the Nenpartisaa
league is beneficial for he says in
speaking of the farmers organiza-
tion " great benefit to all of tho
people of the state"
Mr.. Mann does not point to prin-
ciples that are wrong, Mr.. Mann ad-
mits the league is "benefit" and
Mr.. Mann cannot deny that it is. the
farmers Of Ramsey county who have
made his. reputed financial success
possible for him, made it possible for
him to open big branch store at
Capdo nacessitating the outlay Of
thousands and thousands of dollars.
And Mr.. Mann does not nor cannot
deny it is the money the farmers have
made for him that made it possible
for him to be in position to say to
the writer of this article that if some
Of the business men Of Devils Lake
had known that The Devils Lake
World was going to be sold to the
farmers, they, "Sone" of the business
men would have raised the price Of
it in a few minutes" before it would
have been allowed to get into their
hands.
