That is misstatement Of the facts
which The Forum will not permit to
go unchallenged. tW,
Mr.. Cahill visited The Forum office
personally, and stated that an injus-
tice had been done him, and that the
account of what he said at that IA
nous or infamous meeting, was
garbled.
The Forum told Mr.. Cahill quite
clearly and explicitly that whether or
not he made that statement at that
meeting was not the important ques-
ion, but that the important question
was whether or not he. really believed
the sentiments credited to him. He
was invited to make use of the col
umns of The Forum in stating his
case. His letter dealt wholly with
the meeting in question and not with
his actual beliefs. He tried to estab-
fish the fact that he did not make
the statement about the red flag, but
he was promptly "called" by men who
were present at the meeting, who
made affidavits that he did.
Once again let US emphasize this
fact: Whether or not Mr.. Cahill
made that statement then is compare
lively unimportant. He might have
said something in the heat of argu-
knent that he regretted moment
later. The important point is wheth-
er or not Mr.. Cahill then believed
and now believes that a man can be
as good an American citizen under
the red flag as under the Sta.s and
Stripes. He could settle the whole
controversy in very f,w words if
he would make simple statement set
ting forth what he does believe about
the red flag and about socialism,
"There has been no more talk about
it in The Forum" since for the simple
reason that it is not important enough
to discuss further. If Mr.. Cahill
prefers to remain "red" that is his
business. and as soon as we get the
proper kind Of governor, Mr.. Cahill's
connection with the states schools viii
=" promptly terminated.

Emmons county is now experience
ing one of those conditions that are
frequently met in this part of the
state, and which test the mettle of it's
people. Next thing to an entire crop
failure is staring US in the face, fol-
lowing several years of prosperity and
fast-living. The prosperous days
caused many to fly too high financial
", and heavy obligations cannot be
met with hot air. AS result, great
efforts at retrenchment are to be
found on every hand. Much help is
being released in all lines, and people
generally are preparing to weather
the storm. At no place in the county
is the new condition more easily seen
than at Hazelton. Wholesale dis
.missals of help, many of them several
years on the job, are the rule. 1t
makes it rather tough on those thus
set adrift but they seem to be land
ing somewhere. This wholesale re-
leasing of help cannot yet be found
at Linton. However, it is too early
to determine whether or not there is
q fundamental difference in the con-
ditions of the two towns, or whether
the Hazelton people are little fore
handed in meeting the situation.
But the main point we are inter-
ested in is the spirit of the farmers
and business men. They are cutting
out all Injuries, and are preparing to
get back to the old mode of living.
A few of them will succumb to the
hard times, and will drift away. The
large proportion, however, will SIM
ply dig in and will be here when the
luck changes and more prosperous
conditions prevail.
It is all we'll and good to argue
and fight over the relative merits of
marketing methods and of financial
plans. But the fact remains that,
when the Lord fails to send us rain
during the growing season, all the
market plans on earth will not pre-
vent US from feeling the financial
pinch.
We have weathered many like
storm before. We will have no

Mr. Cahill's Case

Mr.. Cahill started out by telling
the audience about the lie the opposi-
ton used last year against him to
defeat him for the Office of secretary
Of state last primary election.
They started the story that he had
said at a meeting that he could be as
good a citizen under the red flag as
under any other flag. Mr.. Cahill has
afidavits from many people that he
never used the expression. He went
to The Fargo Forum, which paper
was the first one to make the lie pub
lie, and demanded retraction. This
The Forum printed and there has been
no more talk in The Forum about Ca
hill and the red flag statement since.

to award Meintz damages, but the circuit court Of
appeals has ordered a new trial and has forbidden

If the Minnesota supreme court had been as fair
as this United States court, President Townley of
the Nonpartisan league, who was made a victim
through activity of antifarmer politicians at about
the time Of the Meintz outrage, would also have
obtained new trial. As it is, unless Mr.. Townley
can get relief from the United States supreme

to regain power by unseating Judge N. c. Young,
counsel for the Northern Pacific, who is the head
of the I. V. A. The Tribune takes position that
the l. " A. papers find it hard to assail. It claims
to be consistently against all public ownership,
which it designates SOCIALISM" The I. V. A.
nominees pretend to be for the completion Of the
farmers program, and hence the Tribune rejects
them, it does the Nonpartisan leaguers and de-
mands a campaign against all public ownership.
The Tribune likewise claims to be regular Re-
publican paper opposed to the hybrid I. V. A. or
ganization of Republicans, Democrats and So
ciasts.
LANCER, former attorney general, and l. V. A.
didate for governor in 1920, will take a public
stand against the recall. Langers position will be
different from the Tribune's, however. He pre-
tends to be for the farmers program, and claims
(which is true) that the l. V. A. would kill the pro-
gram. It is we'll known, too, that LANCER believes
the I. V. A. betrayed him in 1920, and is anxious to
get even.
While the I. V. A. ranks are thus splitting, the
League is solid against the recall.
John Shelton Williams former comptroller of
the currency, has volunteered to come to the state
at his expense and help in the fight, as he
realizes, better than most people, that the fight in
this state is but the opening of the great battle
that the people Of the United States must make to
wrest control Of their banking system from Wall
street and vest it in the peoples representa-
tives.
Meantime in spite of all the sabotage of the I.
V. A., and the adverse advertising the state is
ceivng from the big business interests, the sale Of
state bonds proceeds, and the Bank of North Da-
kota is winning through to constantly stronger
position. There more bank failures by far
these days in Minnesota than in North Dakota.
The I. V. A. must file their recall petitions by
September 10 to secure an election by the desired
date, November g. AS yet they several thou

" HOSE responsible for the reign of terror in
this state against the farmers during the po-
itical campaign of 1918, when farmers and
League supporters were deported, tarred and
feathered and beaten by mobs, and horde of So
called "disloyalty" prosecutions were brought
against League leaders, have received jolt in a
recent decision of the United States district court
of appeals, sitting in st. Louis. John Meintz, not
actually member of the League but League
sympathizer and stockholder in League country
weekly, was deported from Rock county during the
campaign and tarred and feathered at the county
line by mob of townspeople, including bankers,
professional and business men, who had previously
notified all Leaguers to recant leave the county

OREGON

T HE demand for the Nonpartsan league to
organize in Oregon has been persistent for
three years. Prominent farmer leaders from
all the state have been urging national
League headquarters to make start in Oregon,
and members of existing farm organizations, which
Of course not in politics, have been demanding
political action through the League. National head
quarters finally decided to see if there was sufi-
cient spirit and demand to warrant chartering an
Oregon state organization. A meeting called
recently in the state the invitation to attend being
signed by large group of prominent farmers. The
result proved the state was ready to "go."
"Over 40 wide-awake farmers from all parts of
the state present" writes O. J. Nelson, report
ing the meeting to national headquarters. "They
pledged themselves to get the League started in
Oregon. They elected temporary state commit
tee, to until the membership hold regular
caucuses and elect delegates to state convention
which will name a permanent committee. J. D.
Brown, for many years at the head of the Oregon
Farmers union, was chosen to head the commit
tee. He is strong and respected all over the
state.

and a well-grounded conservative farmer, is the
second member of the committee, and the third
member is MIR. Benedict of Albany.
