sad over the defeat of Lynner, the l. V. A. mayor
of Fargo, who masqueraded a Nonpartlsan.
They grieved over the sad fate in store for Brant,
the poor farmer who could not pay his own cam
paign expenses as the Fargo gentleman couio.
They wept crocodile tears over the spit" IN the
Nonpartistan League forces. But the farmers Oh
North Dakota are willing that their enemies
should weep for them. They know that it is bet
ter to 20 down to honorable defeat fighting for
principles and program that corresponds to their
interests than to win at the polls with candidate
who would turn the key in the Bank Of North Da-
kota-the ambition of Twitchell and every other
Twitchell in the 1. V. A. regardless of faction.
There are powerful mass forces arrayed behind
Brant in this fight There are powerful class
forces arrayed against him. With him are the in
telligent farmers who know that only through their
own efforts and standing by themselves as class
in alliance with labor they better their condl-
lions now and emancipate themselves from econ
omic slavery later. Against him are the finance
capitalists their political lackeys and their unof
fical governments, the chambers of commerce. The
lines are drawn pretty clearly and there is moth
ing under the sun of North Dakota that pre-
vent Brant from leading his followers to victory
at the polls next November except the failure of
the Nonpartistan League leaders to base their
campaign on the farming masses and to carry the
war into the ranks of the enemy.
The farmers disconnected. They have had
their bely-full of Hoover prosperity Their
senators have become corrupted by the Washing
ton atmosphere. They have seen horde of
"pap-suckers" spawn out of the federal machine
They have seen the institutions that were built in
their state under the Nonpartistan regime fall in
to the hands of the I. V. A. They want change
"a progressive change. And unless we are great
ly mistaken they are going to have it next fall.

Working Stiff Delivers
A Stiff w allop

Editor, Producers News:
No, am not going to the Com
mercial Club meeting. That free
turkey feed is just what / need,
but if l eat they will be looking
for my five dollars dues. The
five dollars / haven't got and
don't like to be a piker, SO l will
have to get along without the tur-
key.
l know just about what is going
to be said anyway, and who is go
ing to say it. Be a boosterl No
matter if there is anything worth
while boosting or not. Figure out
some way of fooling people. Get
them to drive out of their way in
order to get here. Tell them about
our oil, our wonderful building
boom, our airport and new court
house to be. Tell them anything,
and when they come give them
what little work there is and let
your own people be without and
starve, and let your poor list grow
longer and longer each month.
Last year it was the big build
ing boom and what did it amount
to? Both our local papers came
out and hollered their heads off
about it. Some lunatic wrote and
told The Great Falls Tribune that
several million dollars worth of
buildings were going to be built in
Plentywood, and they printed it.
Lots of people travelled thous-
ands of miles to get here, stopped
just long enough to buy a box of
SINUS and then beat it again. A
few stayed, found some work and
sent the money home to their
families in some far away place.
Some run all the bills they could
in town and then beat it. At the
same time people, who had houses
and homes in town, had to 90
somewhere else TO find job.
If the city is digging a sewer,
people from other states are i'm
ported to do it. Yes, l know all
about it. 1t was given to the
only and lowest bidder. After you
hire someone from Minot to write
the specifications, he will write it
in such a way that nobody but a
friend of his can take the job, of
course.
When a garage is to be built, To-
cal people have not even a chance
to give a bid on it. People from
other states are again imported.
If the people who come here were
better than those who are already
here, there would be some reason
for it. People do not come here
on account of our climate or beau
tiful scenery, they come here be-
cause they cannot make living in
the place where they come from
and it is not the A No. Is who
have to leave that place first
"Boost the town! Patronize

his patriotic interest in the tax

From experience gained at the
time of the Bryan editorials and

The WASHINGTON SCENE
BY LAWRENCE TODD. Federated Pres

Washington-(FP) - Two fun I
damental reasons why Charles Ev-
ans Hughes should not have been
nominated to be chief justice of
the Supreme Court, and hence
should not be confirmed, were Civ
en- to the Senate by Sen. Norris,
progressive leader and chairman
of its judiciary committee, at the
opening of his battle against the
Wall street super-lawyer, Feb. 10.
These two reasons were so chal-
longing that they changed the dis
cussion at once from a mere pro-
test to struggle of national i'm
portance. The progressives forced
the reactionaries to seek some
way of avoiding a roll call the is
sue of plutocratic government.
First, Norris showed, Hughes
had resigned from the Supreme
Court, failed to satisfy his ambi-
ton to be President, and had then
gone back to practice before that
court as counsel for many of the
biggest corporations in the coun-
try, capitalizing his judicial and
political prestige for his clients.
Wealth had flowed in upon him,
since he could virtually command
his own price for his pleas to his
former associates on the highest
judicial bench. Having done this,
he is now promoted back to the
top of this bench, thereby giving
to all other judicial officers in the
nation a hint as to how they, too,
may use the ermine of the Judge
to attract political honors, riches
and a safe return to the sanctuary
of the court. If anything can
make the administration of JUS
tice a football of politics.
Second, Norris urged that
Hughes was unfit for the position
of supreme arbiter of issues rails
ed between organized wealth anc
the interests of the common man
because Hughes had never been il
touch with common humanity, but
had devoted his working hours tx
the service of every variety Of
special privilege and his leisure
hours to the society of the ricl
and privileged.
Perhaps it is not amiss to sa!
that no man in public life so ex
emplifies the influence of power
full combinations in the politica
and financial world as does MI
Hughes" declared the Nebraskan
During his active practice o
law he has been associated wit

men of immense wealth and lived
in an atmosphere of luxury which
can only come from immense for
tunes and great combinations.
Without charging Mr.. Hughes
with being dishonest or unconsci-
entious, it is only fair to expect
that these influences have become
a part of the man. All men
are human, and it is only natural
that those who have always been
connected with monopoly, who
have always been serving power
full industry should be at least
partly controlled by such associa-
ton. The fact that all this en-
ables them to accumulate fortune
and secure political favor is an
other reason why such men should
not be called to sit in final judg-
ment in contests between orga-
nized wealth and the ordinary citi-
zen."
While it was evident that
Hughes would be confirmed by
the great majority which organic
ed wealth maintains in the Senate,
Norris has aroused, by these two
suggestions, the little band of
progressives who fear the further
encroachment of Big Business up
on the privileges of the middle
class. 1t soon appeared that half
a dozen senator's desired to speak
before Hughes should be voted on
Delay was gained, during which
the country would have a chance
to voice such protest as il cared t6
make heard. And Hughes was
warned once more that there is {
vast gulf between the legal priv
leges of judicial office and the &C
tual respect and honor in which
such men as Holmes and Brandei
are held.
Against the record of Holmes
defender of civil liberties, will TO,
long time be set the argument
of Hughes as a corporation plead
er before the Supreme Court-a
for example in the New Jerse.
