The Arvada enterprise., 1922-04-06

A couple Of months ago there was
a sO-calied "farmers' conference" In
Chicago. True, there were no real
farmers present-nO real farmers were
invited in fact. True, also, 1t was
stated in the papers those present
represented farmers organisations,
but 1t was frankly admitted all such
organizations were what are known as
radical" The old boss, Townley of
the Nonpartisan League-now discred-
ited-was there. Ben Marsh, who
heads radical" Organizations in the
East, was there. Then q lot of Social
lists were there.
When the meeting adjourned 1t was
stated the farmers had perfected what
10 to be known as the United Farm
ers National Bloc" which is to unite
the farmers Of the nation into dues
paying organization along the line Of
the NOnpartisan League.
Now to find the inception OF this
gathering and one that was held the
first of the following week in Chicago,
one simply goes back to the national
socialist conference held at Detroit in
July Of 1921, where is found resolu-
ton directing the socialist leaders to
call 4 conference of delegates from all
the radical movements" In the land.
And all the radicals" were presented
at this so-called farmers conference
and all the radicals" were present at
other conferences. where the most
radical" agitators Of the country held
forth for two days finding fault with
everything, and proposing clever
plan to overthrow this form Of gov
eminent and confiscate all business en-
terprlses.
The scheme to be worked Is to mass
all radicals Of every kind and nature,
through deception secure the aid of
the farmers, and then, In us many
states as possible, go into the primar-
les Of one Of the old parties, nominate
only men-especially for the Legisla-
ture-whO will agree, in advance, to
stand for the laws these radicals"
proposed and those laws are oil In line
with the Socialist experiments tried in
North Dakota and proven great finan-
cial failures. Now. then, from the fol-
lowing get the true purpose and sys-
