WHY THESE ENDORSEMENTS
Because of the action of so-called
League convention called at Great
Falls May 9Th and 7th, which was
attended by four actual farmers and
about twenty politicians who were
not members of and never had been
members of the Nonpartisan League,
which organized what is called a
| Greater League, and which convention
declared for the so-called balance of
convention this year, nor to endorse
candidates regularly for state office as
the old league custom provides, at a
regularly called state League conven-
ton, but to allow the members to vote
for any candidate they see fit, upon
either Of the tickets, thus hoping that
progressive candidates may be elected
and then provide that the Executive
Committee of the Greater League
would meet and then endorse the
candidate who came the nearest tt
standing for the principles advocated
by the League upon either ticket
/ nominated upon the several tickets a
: the primaries, and because of the
fact that the members of the League
: were urged by the convention to bring
out acceptable candidates and al
were released to run for Office, eithe,
personally or by groups Or organiza
tons or clubs, the conventions of tn,
) above named counties acting in har
mony with the idea and spirit O.
: this convention, endorsed and brough
: out J. w. Anderson for the Senat
7 and Oscar J. Collins for Congress OF
the republican ticket, and in orde
to nominate these candidates it i
only necessary to have all of tn
;. League members vote for them in tn
primaries. It is no more than RICH
to disclose to the membership Of tn
Nonpartisan League and the Montan
Labor League the factors which ar
y behind and recommending the nonlin
ations Of the above candidates. It
:, the belief of all farmers who hav
been consulted that the above endorse
:. ments are sufficient to convince a
: leaguers, in view of the fact that n
n official endorsements have been mad
i by state convention, regularly an
q duly called as should have been done
: that J. w. Anderson and Oscar .
= Collins are the candidates that a
: leaguers and so-called radicals shout
: unite upon and vote for in a soil
