from the meters to be turned over
to the owners as soon as they are
sold. The same proposition will be
offered on the motors that are now
in use here.
The residents Of Bowbells have
raised $1,000 to be loaned to the
Kenmare concern in order to get
the line built in here, but this is not
to be turned over until tho material
for the line is on the ground and
work started. The notes given for
this loan will draw eight per cent
interest, and fifty per cent OF the
gross receipts collected each month
for the business done in Bowbells
will be applied on these notes. The
collections will be made by one OF
the local banks.
After the new line is completed
hour service which will be second to
none in this part OF the state. Many
of the business places and others
here would have put in motors for
power in the past If we had had
twenty-four hour service, ana Will
no doubt install motors as son as
the new line is finished. 1t will al
so make it more convenient for the
ladies who use electricity for wash

this work at the time most conven-
lent for them. while in the past the
current has been furnished only
few hours each week ana this work
had to be done during that time or
in the evening.

We'll Slick, We'll Win S|o.
gan Responsible for Success

The Nonpartisan League is not the
first farmers organization that has
attempted to aid the farmers of this
country but it is the first organiza-
tion that has attempted in pol
itical way to aid the farmers Of
this state. Six years ago when the
organization was first formed
there were many who predicted that
the life of the League would be
short but they failed to compre-
hend the economic causes that gave
strength to the League and they
failed to grasp the reason for the
popularity of that simple program
that swept the League into power.
The program was popular with the
peonIe from the start because it
held forth to the producers of this
state the opportunity to get a larg-
er share of the things that they pro-
duced But besides the popularity
Of their economic program there is
one other thing that is largely re-
ponsible for League success. 1t is
the simple slogan, "We'lI stick, We'll
win,'' which portrays the spirit that
is behind the farmers first political
organization in North Dakota.
The ability to stick by the tickets
which have been endorsed by the
League conventions is the strongest
weapon that the League voters
held. The power to concentrate the
League vote upofr one issue, the
League program, is the battering
ram before which no other polite
al power can stand. Every victory
that has been won at the polls can
be credited to the "we'll stick" spir-
it.
When the League gained control
The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1922-05-12

of the Legislature nothing could
have been accomplished if the ell
ected representatives had not stood
united. If some of the representa-
tives played traitor and voted
with the opposition, the League
program would never have been en-
acted into law. But the ability to
stick was displayed once more and
the so-called "secret caucus" was
the means devised of setting League
policies and when the representa-
tives went into the legislative as
sembly they stood to man by the
and the enactment of the League
program into a law can be attributed
to the same motto.
The League is coming back this
year but there is only one way that
success can be accomplished. Lea
guers must stick as they have al
ways done before They must stand
by the conventions. They must look
further than the personal interests
of few disgrunted office seekers
The League principles and the Lea
que platform are bigger than the
selfish interests of any one man.
Leaguers must not allow themselves
to be split up into factions. If they
90 they have lost the power of their
League organization and will put
their political opponents into office.
They will put the carrying out of
the League program in the hands
Of their enemies instead of their
friends. The old slogan, We'll
stick, we'll win" is as appropriate
today as it was six years ago, and
the spirit it portrays is more essen
tial now than it ever was

The time has again arrived when
