MahOney and the resolution.
SEN. TAYLOR SPEAKS
State Senator Taylor of Montana,
editor Of the Producers News of
PlentywoOd, was called upon to adj
dress the convention and in short
but eloquent speech thanked the
delegates for the action they had
just taken and assured them that
they had expressed the sentiments
of the workers and farmers Of Mon
tana and of the Northwest and de-
clared that the St. Cloud convention
would become historical.
THE LAST GASP
One Schier, correspondent of the
Jewish Daily Forward, who had been
cooperating with the anti-farmer-
labor forces in the convention as a
delegate from Minneapolis, secured
the floor after the vote had been
taken and attempted to attack Ma
honey but was hooted down by the
convention. This was the last gasp
from the obstructiOnists.
The prOgressives in Minnesota are
jubilant over the elimination Of all

COMPLETE UNITY ESTABLlS,H5.E1D
Complete unity has been estaolsn-
ed between the workers and Farmers
Of Minnesota thru the Farmerr-Las-
bor Federation. The last obstacle 70
this unity was removed late TINS al
ternoon when the delegates to the
nofi-partisan league convention mere
threw their reactionary otbclaIs over
board and voted to join the Farmer
Labor Federation representing the
interests on the political field OF 9ll
economic organizations Of the WORK
ers and farmers in this state; mo
development Of greater significance
in the Farmer-LabOr movement IN
America has taken place within CIle
last decade. The decision OF the
Non-partisan League delegates came
after the Townley machine had eX-
hausted every effort to prevent raw
orable action.
OLD PREJUDICES SHATTERED
The Minnesota farmers represent
ed by the NOn-partisan League Con
vention have, by this decision, shat
terde for all time the belief adj
vanced by obstructiOnists that farm
ers are afraid to trust their fortunes
to an organization comprising boCl
groups Of exploited workers.
There was a great demonstration
in the Farmer-Labor Federation con
ventiOn when their negotiation com
mittee returned with the news tina
the farmers had decided to becom'
part of the unity organization. 4
speaker was on the floor talking OF
an important organization question
/ but all business was suspended TO
| ten minutes while the delegate
stamped and cheered, leaped o.
chairs and tables, threw their hat
in the air and yelled themselve
! hcarse. Tension relaxed immediate
w and it was evident then that tn
workers had almost given up hop
of complete unity; they acted Xix
children relieved Of a threat of pun
ishment and gave their emotions ful
play. Even the dignified Williar
MahOney, chairman of the Farmer
Labor Federation Convention, yelle
till he was red in the face, and hi
grey hair completely disarrangeC
Too much credit for the decision c
the farmers convention cannot b
given to Charles E. Taylor, of tn
Montana Farmer-LabOr party, an
dad" Walker, Of the North DakOt
Farmer-Labor party; they knew pei
sonallv many of the delegates an
more than any one else was respoI
sible for counteracting any prelude
that might have been aroused by til
red batting of the machine elemen
1t was necessary for the Townle
machine in order to poll any kind {
vote against unity to collect del,
gates from paper organizations sue
as women's auxiliaries and count
groups having no existence. Despe
/, ate efforts still left them sewers
votes shy of majority, and wit
their loss of a majority went forev'

movement in Minnesota.

1HeTe Is no way Tor Editor Taylor
to meet this accusation but by an
absolute denial This affidavit sign
ed by Jack O'Grady, absolutely I'M
supported by any other evidence ex-
cept his sworn word, charges that
Taylor asked him to destroy the
county records, to commit a crime
punishable by a term in the peni-
Tertiary if the same was discovered
and proven, which it was bound to
be, and al this fer a contract expir-
ing in six months. The very condi-
lions existing show how wild such a
thing would be if Taylor did propose
this proposition. The DOlin contract
Is on file. 1t has a file number. The
contract was signed and witnessed
by DOlin, by the county commissions
ers, by a notary public, with a notary
public seal on the same The COM
missiOners were bound to ask for the
original contract and verify the same,
which very thing they did. How
could Jack O'Gradv substitute con-
tracts The whole charge is the
product of a worried mind. 1t is the
effort to muddy the water while
Mr.. OGrady gets away himself. Mr.
O'Grady has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of all who have ever
dealt with him, that virtue and hon.
esty and integrity is not enc of Mr.
O'Grady's distinguishing traits.
The Sheridan County Farmer is
making use of Mr.. O'Grady in its
attack upon Editor Taylor and in
furtherance of its brags that it is
going to get him. DR.. Storkan is
anxious to divert attention away
from himself and his own nefarious
deeds and whether any charge has
any truth or not or whether it can
stand the light of reason it is pub
Gshed in tina tpaper. Of course the
more these groundless charges are
INDUCED in, the less influence the
paper will have, so Editor TAYLOR is
willing to let the matter go at that
after entering a complete denial oil
the charges and after calling the
public's attention to the fact that the
affidavit is not supported by any 9th,
( er evidence whatever and must stanC
upon the confidence one can place IL
+ the integrity of Mr.. O'Grady. Mr.
O'Grady, it seems upon investigation
had a record before he came tt
Sheridan county. He has a record il
Sheridan county which can be prov
en- by evidence that can be properl!
supported and which will be proper
~ supported. Time will absolutely
discredit him and anything that h
may offer to the public 1t is al
interesting fact, is it not, that Dr.
StOrkan and all of the other Main
/ Streeters who are Sc anxious TO
+ reasons of their own, to discreet
Editor Taylor, have taken up witt
Jack O'Grady now that he ha
broken with the FaTmer-Labor fac
tors, who before he broke with then
they never lost an opportunity t
denounce as a crook and a dead beat
But now that he has broken wit
Taylor, he is the white winged para
gon Of virtue, their chief adviser
and with whom they delight to hob
mob: a man with whom they hOl
whipered conversations on tn
street and in the Office of the Farm
crime: the man that Sen. March goe
to for his information and ideas. 1t
funny isn't it, how attitudes change

point and then when he goes over t

AS long as this state of affairs
could be concealed, the propaganda
went big. But when concealment
was no longer possible, frankly 1t
turned the stOmachs of good many
people in congress. This has not
been universally the case, of course.
l still read in the papers where an
occasional senator or representative
exclaims with delighted surprise at
the "prepOnderance of sentiment"
developed against ABUSED compen-
sation, as witnessed by all these let
tiers. Yet these men know perfectly
well the means which have been en-
ployed to get those letters In.
While this barrage was on, and
while it was hitting the mark, we
who are making the fight for the
Legion in Washington simply ducked
our heads and let the stuff whistle
by. But now that the break has
come, now that the opposition itself
is growing disturbed by the fact that
it has rather overdone this propa-
ganda stunt, the moment has struck
for us to crawl out of our holes and
advance to the attack. This we have
started to do. The opposition has
shot it's bolt. The worst it could do
has been done, and we are still on
our feet. If we fight as we can fight
we will win.

SUPPORTERS OF GAL
 SHOW CONFIDENCE
Feel Certain Of Success in New
 Jersey Primaries Today

Newark, N. J., April 22.-Republi- can organization leaders, supporting President Coolidge, discounted the difficulties predicted for them in the New Jersey primaries today in which national convention delegates are being chosen and presidential prefer ence expressed.
 The Coolidge campaign has been complicated by anti-saloon league op- position to Senator Edge and former Governor Stokes as candidates for delegates at large, by contests between organization and independent candi- dates in four of the 1e congressional districts and by the statewide opposi- ton of candidates pledged to Hiram W. Johnson.
 A light democratic vote is expected as Governor Silzer is unopposed for the democratic presidential nomina- ton. The only contest affecting the silzer candidacy is in the fifth dis trict. comprising Union and Morris counties, where two candidates whose strength the Silzer leaders discount, are opposing Silzcr delegates on an 'unpledged and against the unit rule" platform.
 Governor Slzer is among the can- didates for delegates at large 10 the democratic convention.
 Action of the anti-saloon league in calling for the defeat of Senator Edge and for the election of former Senator Freinghuysen, also a candidate for delegate at large is generally inter preted as the start of an expected fight on the renomination of Senator Edge, in September. In retaliation the 'wets" are cutting Treliughuysen.
 Two delegates and two alternates are being selected by each party in each Of the F congressional districts in addition to seven republican dele
