ATTENTION! MEMBERS OF The MON
TANA WHEAT GROWERS ASSOClA-
ton IN DISTRICT NO, |

Do you know that the referendum arbitrarily held
recently did not suspend the Association and that two
elections will be held in July?
Do YOU know that the men who proposed this ref
erendum never expected that enough votes would be
cast to suspend the Association regardless OF how they
voted?
Do you know that the only motive they had in
mind to unlawfuIy suspend the election OF DTec-
tors?
Subsequent events has proven this most conclusive
ly All their excuses, all their denials, all their lamen-
tations all their walings against the reds and comu-
niss will not eXoneTate them OF their traltorous I'M
lawful attempt to avoid an election.
They claim the reason for the holding OF the prl-
maries in the manner they did was economy Now they
are demanding two elections This will make four
in all held this year. And top of it, Cresap and 9TH
have been chasing all the State spending your
money to assassnate the characters OF the men that
were nominated in the primaries that they had ar
ranged. These men nominated lawfully by their
neighbors and friends.
What about their economy?
Four elections held instead of two and then to add
insult to injury they spend money like drunken sailors
to tell you that the that nominated were not
fit men to be Directors of the institution they mao
wrecked.
There were at least two men the old Board that
have consistently fought against all this.
Clair Stoner from your district is one of them lie
opposed the idea Of carrying on the PRIMARIES III Ce
paper He opposed them when they insisted on sus-
pending the Association. He told them 1t was only
Tuse to suspend the election And in the meeting oil
June 9TH he opposed the holding OF two more elections
since primary had been held according TO their own
plan. .:1
He has fought all along Tor constructive principles
to save the Association from complete disintegraton
For all this he is now maligned by these wogd-be
safe and sane fellows who would rather defend the
Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce than to help to do
something constructive. -
You members in District No. L owe it to yourself,
and YOUR brother members, regardless OF what your
opinion might be Of the Montana Wheat Growers AS
ISOLATION at this time to return Mr. StOner with such
overwhelming majority that the wreckers will never
dare repeat again what they tried this year.
If other districts will do the same, you can rest as
s1red that the truth will be given the members and
they will know if this Association can function TO our
financial advantage or not We not much Interested
in helping perpetuate men in office We are not mGcn IN
terested in whether Cresap Jewe are the saVorS oil
TanInd or whether the Association life depends on
them If this be true then it is founded wrong because
if either of them should die, the Association would also
die II, :;
We, who signed the contract, are all very keenly IN
teresed- NOT in men, but in the institution Let that
be the guiding star that all men can follow and When
we have departed can have said OF ourselves: we
we left something worth while for our children
Unless we constantly keep before us the pIlnclpIe
and not men, we are going to be In danger
Sincerely yours,
AUG NELSON.
