NONPARTSAN LEAGUE EXECUTIVE CON-
MITTEE STATES some IMPORTANT FACTS

these papers going in order that the
truth may reach the people of North
Dakota regularly each day and each
week. q
No one realizes better than the
members Of the newly elected State
Executive Committee that they have
a big job cut out for them: 1t is no
child's play and facing this situation
squarely we find it necessary to call
upon Leaguers everywhere for finan-
cial assistance.
There is great deal of reorganiza-
tion work to be done-thousands of
good Leaguers to be re-enrolled for
this period who have either not paid
their checks given for membership or
who have not, as yet, been re-enrolled.
We call upon all of those to volun-
tarily send in their memberships;
either the entire SIS or any part which
they can spare at this time.
We need the money we need the
cash-and we have not, as yet, been
able to get out into the state and car
ry on our organization drive. We plan
to put on such a drive during the lat
ter part Of May and in June when
you farmers are least busy with your
farm work. In the meantime, how
ever, we must have funds and it is
up to those who can do so to send in
their membership fees now or make
a contribution to the campaign fund.
In addition to the memberships
which we must collect we are asking
each township in the state to raise
campaign fund of at least $4,000.
This must be done because the men,
berships alone will not meet the cost
Of another and special campaign and
pay up the League Indebtedness. We
ask the Leaguers Of every township in
North Dakota to get busy at once and
raise at least 500 as special cam
paign contribution and send the mon
ey in at once to League headquarters
at Fargo. This money can be raised
either by solicitation, entertainment,
box socials, etc.
The members Of your new State Ex-
ecutive Committee feel that they are
entitled to the fullest measure of
confidence and cooperation on the part
of the entire membership throughout
the state. We are fighting your battle
and we want you to know that it is
not a pleasant job and one which we
would not tackle unless we felt that
we have the backing of every League
member everywhere.
When we tell you that we need
funds s-that we need them now-that
we need them badly-we are stating
to you an absolute fact. If we could
talk to each one Of you personally
perhaps we could state the facts in
little stronger way and show you
just how matters stand. We want you
to understand now, however, that we
are right "up against the gun" finan-
cially and that unless each individual
each township organization, each
county organization does their part in
sending in money NOW to the State
Office we will be forced to relinquish
our efforts and of necessity 60 back
to our homes on the farms.
The result of this decisive battle
against all of the United Forces of
big business throughout the United
States, directed against the fighting
farmers of North Dakota, rests entire
" in your hands for it is to you that
we, the members Of your State Execu-
tive Committee, must look for the IL
nances with which to carry on our
work.
Send in your membership renewal
or contribution now.

ecutive Committee.
