THANKS TO THE LEAGUE

Some folks profess to believe that
the Nonpartisan League has done
nothing for the cooperative market
ing project on which farmers are
working. An item from Bismarck in
Sundays Courier-News proved other
wise. The state banking board voted
to permit the Farmers Finance cor
poration to sell 100000 of it's stock
in North Dakota. The Farmers FL
nance corporation is the necessary
banking end of the U. S. Grain Grow
ers, Inc. It will supply the money
needed to finance the marketing Of
crops that are to be sold thru the u.
IS. Grain Growers.
In most states in which the Farmers
Finance corporation has sought per-
mission to sell stock it has been re-
fused. Politicians will permit almost
any sort Of stock selling swindle; they
won't permit a conservative financial
proposition that offers investors only
eight per cent return, based on the
solidest Of all security, the grain that
people have to eat to live. And the
reason why they won't permit this
farmers concern to operate is that It
threatens certain profits Of the grain
gamblers and the big bankers.
But in North Dakota the Farmers
Finance corporation a sell stock. It
can do SO only because two Of the
three members Of the state banking
board are Nonpartisan Leaguers. Gov
ernor Frazier and Attorney General
Lemke voted to admit the new coop
erative organization; Secretary Of
State Hall voted against it.
/. v. A. politicians are trying TO
persuade farmers that the Nonparti-
san League is q menace to the state.
They are asserting that the !. ". AS
are friendly 10 real cooperation. But
that is q lie. The leaders Of the ]. ".
A. are opposed to everything ii the
nature o cooperation. Tom Hall
proved ii, when he voted against "a
hitting the u. s Grain Growers n
naacs corporation. Sveinbjorn John

I. Y. a. exists to protect these prof
iteering interests. Tom Halls vote
against the Farmers Finance corpora
ton was only one more added proof
of this fact.
It is just as essential that every
member Of the u. S. Grain Growers
vote against the /. v. A. recall as that
every member Of the Nonpartisan
League do so. Victory for the L Y. a.
would mean defeat for every real
farmers organization.-The Courier

for the present competitive, profiteer-
ing system. That is the aim Of the in
dustrial program; cut out the needless
middlemen. The profiteers and the
war lords are plotting to block this
system in North Dakota. The recall
election and the initiated measures are
part of this plot. Will they succeed?
Not if the Leaguers and all other
believers in progress vote "No" on the
initiated measures and to retain Fra
zier, Lemke and Hagan in their Off
cial positions.

Kitchen would have the people Of
North Dakota believe that United
States Senator E. F. Ladd's charges
of fraud in the grain trade are all
bunk. BY that Kitchen would give US
to understand that the Nonpartisan
League program is all bunk. Kitchen
must be given credit for being abso-
frank in this matter. He, un-
like his running mates, is not trying
to get votes under false pretenses. His
record also bears him out in this. He
was one of those who helped frame
and tried to get thru the house the
/. v. A.. initiated laws for destroying
the League program. Those who vote
for Kitchen for commissioner Of agri-
culture and labor know what to ex-
pect.

North Dakota as Second Class
Mail Matter
i. v. A. WANTS TO QUIT

"T1he bosses Of the I. v. A. who have
boasted that they were going to
wreck the Bank of North Dakota and
put the Nonpartisan League program
on the scrap heap with the recall am
paign, have COM to the painful reali-
cation that they had bit off more than
they can chew. They are gagged and
choking and in a fearful dilemma,
f~rantically seeking a way out to save
their political faces. as
The little group of farmer hating
politicians who are responsible for the
many stumbling blocks and obstruc-
ton put in the way of the enactment
of the industrial program in North
Dakota have at last reached the end
Of their rope. They admit that there
is not a ghost of a chance for them
to win if the Leaguers and their SYM
pathizers keep up the campaign they
have already started. So the I. v. A.
bosses want the recall election called
off.
For them to call it off, however,
would be too much Of a confession OF
defeat. To save their faces before the
rank and file of their own faction, the
l. v. A. bosses wanted to make it APP
pear that they did not fear the result
Of the election, but that the Leaguers
had hateched a plot to prevent it. Not
only that, but these yellow politicians
also wanted to make the people believe
that it would be useless for the l. V.
A.. to win the election as the Leaguers
would attack it in court and have it
called illegal if the farmers lost out.
Attorney General William Lemke's
denunciation of these reports as alb
solutely false and the invention of the
little clique Of yellow politicians who
have forced the recall campaign on
the people of North Dakota has COM
pletely exposed the r%ottenness of that
crowd. The I. v. A. Bosses made the
mistake of Judging the League lead
ers and state officials by themselves
The anti-farmer gangsters hoped that
the Leaguers would welcome an op-
portunity to get away from the ex-
pense and hard work of a campaign
in these critical times. It would have
been duck soup for the I. V. A. bosses
If the Leaguers had bit on the bait
The anti-farmer papers would then
have played up big stories how the
Leaguers had not dared to put their
case before the people and allow the
voters to decide on the issues.
But there is no yellow in the make
up Of the League state officials. They
are not responsible for the recall cleo
ton but, now that it has been forced
on the people by this small gang OF
disgruntled 1. V. A. politicians the
Leaguers are not at all reluctant to
enter the contest. They never felt
more confident Of victory than they
do now.

j. w. Brinton is now lending his
talents to the 1. V. A. Blocked in his
schemes to use the League movement
for his enrichment, he is trying the
other camp The I. V. A. is desperate
ly in need of just such characters as
Brinton now and he is going to tour

another traitor added to the list of l.
