most any member of their rank and
file finds himself to be up a tree
when confronted with the true facts
in the case.
And what will we get if we let
the present administration go? Does
the 1. v. A. remember when Hon.
Knut Nelson refused to talk in a Ger.
tain campaign on account q the
political corruption in North Dakota
and said something to the effect that
any honest and clean man could not
afford to be connected with North
Dakota politics. This was long be-
fore the Nonpartisan League was
ever thought of and it is these same
men who want to get into power
again. The farmers organized the
League for just that q purpose Of
cleaning up this mess of political
corruption and will not quit until the
last of those who want to sell oul
state back into the hands of specula.
tors and others are driven out Of
power and better men put in their
places. The fight at the recall cleo.
ton is to save North Dakota from
industrial slavery.
Very Respectfully
