movement from their untimely death.
In building the Nonpartisan league
we tried to avoid both these dangers.
We placed the dues at figure to en-
able us to do the business that was re-
quired. We provided organization
control which would be independent of
personal office seeking. We insisted on
taking those who, to our mind, would
be the best candidates for the Office
In our first choice for governor Of
North Dakota we picked a man who
had never had thought of running
for public office. None of us who had
anything to do with the building of the
League ran for office.
/ #C EEKING public office is an honor

~ few men who develop the office
fever are good judges Of their capaci-
ty to run for office. Such a man spends
most Of his thought on how he can be
elected and he makes serious mistakes
as to the amount of support he can get.
It is also true that nearly every man
is willing to run if he can figure out
in his mind chance for election.
J. am inclined to think that my repu-
tation as an autocrat has arisen from
the number of budding political office
aspirations we had to step on in order
to present the best possible ticket at
the polls. The man who is turned down
always thinks that he has been done
an injustice and he becomes a great
champion of democracy in the organi-
zatio1.
To have an effective organization
you must first have a large member
ship of farmers who are not interested
in running for office.
These farmers must keep in their own
hands the control of their caucuses
and send to the different conventions
farmers who are not candidates for
office. If the farmers keep up their
membership and stick by these other
fundamental principles there is no
limit to the growth and influence of
their League organization.
If, on the other hand, they neglect
dues paying and trust to the guidance
of those with political office aspira-
tions, it will not be long before the
League farmers have nothing. The
League will become merely a label for
men out of office trying to get in,
wherever this name would bring in
some votes. Then the reactionaries
would wind the thing up by offering
two or three offices to some of the al

This year gives the farmers of the
Northwest the greatest opportunity
they have ever had to get on the road
to progress.
Not only has the League been held
together during the past two years
of terrible depression, but there are
League-minded candidates to be voted
on in 10 Of our western states.
In some Of these states our candi-
dates have done so we'll in the prima-
ries that their election is conceded by
the hostile press. At least five new
senators of the League and labor brand
are expected to advance on Washing
ton. We sent our first senator down
there when we indorsed Borah in 1918
and our second when we sent Ladd.
Now we have at least five more
under way. .......~ ~..
What is done in the 10 states where
the people have clear opportunity to
vote against special privilege will de-
termine the policies of the general
government for the next two years.
If these states go independent, the
people will get consideration because
the politicians want us to be we'll dis

If the states 60 to the machine, the
Washington G. 0. P. will assume with
good reason that you have given it
more rope.
N TACHINE victories in our League
MI states in 1920, including the
AVA Lenroot victory in Wisconsin,
was big factor in the dehation policy.
At no time in the history of the
League did effort promise so much as
it does right now. Any farmer who
does not do his utmost to distribute
literature, get others to the polls and
in general talk for the League-indorsed
candidates is going to regret it to his
dying day.
It is time now, also, to think about
the days after election. No matter how
successful we are in these elections the
farmers will need strong, continuing
League organization The great thing
which makes the League the powerful
factor that it is, is not the number of
it's candidates who win office, but the
number of farmers who belong to it
and pay dues. With a strong dues
paying organization we can get favor
able government action without can
didates. With candidates and with
out organization we can get little or
nothing of any permanent value. =

movement disappeared. Inc common
explanation is that the leaders Of these
movements sold out to the old parties.
These explainers also tell you that if
the Populist party had not joined with
the Democrats in 1896 it could have
lived and fourished. ri ..t
Every one realizes now that the
Farmers Alliance and the Populist
party were on the right track and we
feel great regret as we try to imagine
what splendid things might have hap
pened if the fighting spirit of the
Farmers could have been kept alive
from the days of the Alliance Every
one knows that the western farmers
have gained nothing and lost great
deal by their many years of travelling
under reactionary politicians.
TO MY mind the charge that the
Alliance and Populist leaders sold
- out the farmers is not warranted
by the facts and the circulation Of this
explanation prevents farmers from
thinking clearly about methods Of pre-
venting the real mistakes from being
made over again in the League move
ment. Here is the way read the his
tory of the Alliance and Popuist move
ments:
The courageous men who started
these movements did not give enough
attention to the strong dues-paying
membership. They did not collect
enough from the individual farmer to
enable them to carry out the most es
o1 in :, voonxYnrnnNf
litical freedom. They did not collect
enough to publish good papers, not to
mention running a central office and
keeping in touch with local workers
and leaders. They had loose organiza-
ton in which any one could get in by
saying yes, and could easily get into a
position Of leadership. Because of the
lack of financial support, many. of the
leaders saw a chance of maintaining
themselves by running for public office
successfully.
The opposition was careful to tell
the voters at every opportunity that
the Alliance and Populist leaders were
mere oficeseekers and so the farmers
neglected to pay up even the small dues
which these associations levied. A
farmer who is not running for office
himself, and that is true Of the vast
majority Of them, are interested in
having certain principles enacted into
law rather than in having the alleged
favorite horses win the race. =
To my mind a strong dues-paying
organization, led and controlled by
men who would not themselves run for

Editor, Pensacola Journal.
Now that the summer training
camps are over We wish to thank YOU
for the real enjoyment you gave the
men by sending each day the copy OF
your paper, The Pensacola Journal. to
the branch library, Camp Mcclellan.
The last weeks Of the camp 1 had
an opportunity of seeing how much
the home papers" were read. Al
that time the c. NJ. I. c. ana the
National guard were in training and
the reading room of the library was
crowded at all free hours with men
and often every one of the AZ home
papers that were sent as gifts from
the different cities of the s southern
states in this corps area were in use
Often two men were reading a paper
together with another man WAITING
his turn for it. Moreover, the second
day when the new issue was received
we sent the old copy, if there was
anything left of it (sometimes it was
too worn out from use) to the Hos
pital for the use of the boys there
1t Is no exaggeration to say that you
gave real pleasure to hundreds of men
all summer by the gift of your paper.
May we hope that another year.
when the training camp is again in
Camp Mcclellan, that you will again
send us your paper for the camp
Thanking you on behalf of the men
who read and thoroughly appreciated
all the news from home" that yOuc
paper gave them.
Very truly yours,

Editor Pensacola Journal
am glad some one has dared take up
arms in defense Of the much maligned
so-called "Flapper." A R. Teller prob
ably had in mind an article published
in your paper some weeks since, entitled
Where was your girl last night"
This article was widely read favorably
commented upon. The authors attack
on the mothers of today was well de-
served by those women, who spend more
time at the card table, violating the
gambling laws than in training their
children. The night joy riding. the sit
ting in the dark in parked cars, is
condemned by all sensible people; but
why doesn't the writer ask Where
was your boy last night?" Why does
he say absolutely nothing about the boy
or his father?
It's the same old story. The woman did
itr Eve, DeIiah, Herodias, Cleopatra,
ct al. Ever the woman is centured.
But if the woman alone was to blame
why did an all-wise Father punish the
man in the case so severely? Adam
not Eve, was driven out of Eden, Sam
son lost his eyesight and his life, Herod
was devoured by worms. The name Of
Mark Anthony has come down through
the ages, as synonym for all that
is weak and contemplate in a man.
The writer admits that the boy calls
for the girl, that he takes the initiative.
Why not keep the boys at home? Are
they so holy that no vice can reach
them? Or are they so vile as to be past
saving?
Suppose the situation is reversed.
Say the boy is sitting innocently in the
parlor, when some girl, with her painted
cheeks, calls for him in an automobile
and takes mothers darling for aride in
the dark, dark woods and keeps him
out till midnight. Suppose this hap
pens night after night? What a howl
would go up from distracted fathers and
mothers! The law would be invoked.
Protection would be demanded for these
innocent boys, who were being led as
tray by painted Jezebels. II the boy
takes the girl out. the girl only is cen
sured II the girl should take the boy
OUTPUT she doesn't-the girl only would
be censured. Always the woman pays.
What funny, funny world we live in!
A boy is born just as pure, just as in
nocent as a girl. In the sight of God,
his soul Is just as precious. Why is
the reproach all for the girl? Is there
a male heaven and a female heaven?
If a man, who is half a man, sees
woman in danger, he tries to save her
life How much more, with his greater
strength should he try to save her soul
to shield her from temptation, from her
own weakness an dolly. aFthers know
more in a minute about the dangers
lurking in night joy rides and cars
parked in dark places than the mothers
can ever know. 1t is fathers business to
see that when his daughter goes out at
night she goes with man and not
with blase soul. or a nonentity at the
damp end Of cigarett. Give the boys
the right training and the girls viii be
safe.
