er." Walker is chairman Of the new
ly organized Farmer-Labor party of
North Dakota. He says that he has
the reddest barn in the state, and
that he's not afraid of the "Bolshe-
viks."
And we will see Dave Hamilton Of
North Dakota, who was a member Of
the state senate. Hamilton says that he
is just an old flat-footed cow-puncher
farmer, who rode the range away back
when we slept under the blue dome
of heaven for a tent, with our saddle
for a pillow, and drank our coffee from
tin cup. Senator Dave Hamilton is
one Of North Dakotas best orators.
He learned to despise "pussyfooters"
in 1919.
William Bouck, Fruit Rancher.
There we also shall find William
Bouck, from Washington. He is a
fruit-rancher and an old "Pop," for
years the master of the old Grange
in Washington. He was expelled from
that organization in 1921 because of
his radical views. Today he is the
president Of the Western Progressive
Farmers, the most progressive organi-
cation of farmers in the country.
Bouck thoroly understands the farm
er, his psychology and his problems.
John C. Kennedy.
John G. Kennedy, from Seattle.
Wash, formerly professor Of eco
Monies, will be on deck. Today he is
the able secretary of the Farmer-La-
Dor party of Washington. Kennedy
cot his early training in TIE Labor
movement of Chicago, where he was
elected to the city council as a So
cialist alderman. Later he left the
Socialist party and went west" The
state Of Washington, where he now
makes his home, has probably the
best developed Farmer-Labor move
ment in the country-with the posi-
BILE exception of Minnesota.
Green Of Nebraska.
W. H. Green comes from Nebraska
as the secretary of the Nebraska Pro
gressive party. His home is at pres
ent in Omaha, where he is wei
known, especially for his writings
Much that he writes curlously enough
appears in the Omaha newspapers
And when aimed at some old party
politician, these writings are read al
tho written with pen dipped in Wit
riol. Green is tall and lean and, like
Cassius, he hath hungry look" thai
bodies i'll to false leaders. The present
governor of Nebraska, Charles Bryan
(brother of "Grape-juice" w. j. has
made great efforts to capture the
progressive party = especially its
secretary. But Green has steadfastly
refused to be captured, and has stood
uncompromisingly for the organiza
ton of a genuine Farmer-Labor party
in his home state-linked solidly to &
similar national organization.
Beebe, Fighting Reverend.
And another from Nebraska is ]. L
Beebe, chairman of the progressive
party there. He is the reverend gen
tleman who was not afraid to speal
at memorial meeting held in com
memoration of Nicolai Lenin. Beebt
is an authority on the federal reserve
system, and is we'll known to the
farmers, especially of Nebraska. Ht
has spoken thruout the state on the
deflation of the farmer by the fedora
reserve system. He has spoken before
more local unions in Omaha than mos
labor officials. BY his encouraging
speeches to the striking shopmen h,
did more to hearten them in theil
late struggle, than several interna
tional officers.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Still another prominent delegat,
from Nebraska is J. A. Lochray, th'
fighting editor of the Midwest News
a Farmer-Labor paper published a
Omaha. Lochray has gained the en-
nifty of some of the labor takers o
Omaha, because of his uncompromis
ing attitude in favor Of the amalga
nation OF the craft unions, and tn,
formation of a militant Farmer-Labo
party. Lochray is the type of gen
uine progressive whom the worker
and farmers OF Nebraska -disguste'
with the fake "progressivism" of VII
liam j. Bryan, are turning TO.
