who have no interest in Wyoming, but
have ON here TO make an easy liv-

oppressed by the capitalist Glass;
Because of the stress of many farm
ers the idea appeals, and while 1t has
strained them they have paid in their
SIS, and now u member OF the league,
have the utmost confidence in its pur-
poses n its leaders. These farmers
are told they must not believe any
thing that appears in the kept press
that is ali papers which do not APP

the great reforms the league has put
INTO operation for the farmers wall
Street" is spending millions of dollars
to destroy the organization; thai the
newspapers are printing nothing but
-nes and that the only way to get
the truth is to read nothing but league
papers, such as the National Nonparti-
SAN Lender. which goes to every mar
who joins.
Only Clever Deception.
And one who reads this, or other
papers backing the league and refuses
to believe hat which appears il other
publications., gains the Impression that
tile Noupartisan League is a wonder
full success Tint it is to be the saliva
ton OF the Turner; that all other or

lights in the league movement are
striving desperately to aid the farm

But the truth Is quite a different
matter. The daily and weekly press
of the nation simply secure facts and
print them. They are not saying what
they do about the league because they
are paid to do so, they are saying II
because ii Is true. The fact of the
matter is-and II Is a simple matter
for any one seeking the facts to Sc
cure tleIn-that the Nonpartisap
League is not now. and never "a q
farmers movement that 1t was not or
ganized, has never heen CENTRALIZED. and
Is not now controlled by farmers that
ii is simply a clever scheme to bring
socialism TO the farmers and the farm
ers to socialism, and that 1t is allied
closely with every uItraradical organi-
cation in the country.
Always a Socialist.
These facts are COMMON Knowledge.
If the farmers of Wyoming Who are
accepting as true much they have been
told by organizers or by neighbors who
have been deceived. will but take the
trouble t%oslearn who is managing az
fairs in this state they will find the
state manager is not a farmer, never
has been a farmer In the true sense
of the word, always has been a rnbld
socialist, and at one time was a candI-

purpose Is not to form an organization
that will aid the farmers. but one that

A Propaganda Machine.
The Bank of North Dakota, after
which the Bank Of Wyoming Is to be
modelled II the league gains political
control. has proven not an institution
to aid the farmers. but instead an in

than 1t loaned all the farmers of North
Dakota. And that II Is n part of
the national machine to extend radical
propaganda, the kind so severely con.
demned by former Attorney Cen
eral Palmer and Attorney General
D~augherty, is now proven through
correspondence recently found In the
bank.
Among those on the payroll of this
bank, II would appear not for actual
service, but TO aid In radical propa-
ganda, was William G. RoyIance, a
pronounced socialist. This correspond.
ence shows the bank paid for the serv-
Ice OF the Federated Press. which was
used by the courler-News, the Nom
partisan League subsidized paper at
Fargo. The real Import of this be-
comes clear when one understands the
Federated Press was organized by
some of the most pronounced radicals
In this country, such as the editors OF
the New York Call. the Milwaukee
Leader. the Butte Bulletin and the
New Majority, the first two socialist
papers, the third nm l. WI w. ipublica-
tion and the last practically a com
munist publication.
