candidates of the Communists mar
ty are pledged to support and to
work for each of the STRIKE
RULES adopted by the Sheridan
County Farmres Holiday Assoc.
AS part of the pledge they have
signed the STRIKE RULES.
! ALL KINDS OF SUPPORT"
! While the Communist candi- |
dates support unitedly the Strike
called under the auspices of the
FILA in Sheridan County, the can
didates of the other parties or
such as have taken the trouble |
to answer the request of Mr.. Moe,
range all the way from complete
support of the strike to support
in hypocritical words only.
Complete support of the strike
has been pledged by Alfred Jen-
sen, w. E. Nash, Bernard Nielsen,
Liberty party candidates. We be-
heve these men to be sincere and
must state that, in our opinion,
the letter of Truels Jensen states
the position of the Liberty party
better than their own letters. They
support the strike of these farm
ers against collectors. Truels Jen-
sen refused to sign the pledge
and made an attack on the farm
ers who see no other way but to
struggle cut of their present mis-
cry.
Truels Jensen implies that the
Sheridan County Farmers Holiday
Association is some kind of a
racket. He says: "That in times
like these people are apt to fall
for any kind of proposition with
out thinking whether it is good,
I bad or Indifferent, anything will
n do just so it promises the results
e desired" He thinks that it is a
racket" for the farmers to fight
for their homes and their crops,
& for their children.
LAWFUL DEBTS" MEAN
MISERY
He thinks that the farmers
should pay their seed and feed
loans, debts to the machinery COM
pany now, because they care law
fully contracted debts" What this
actually means is taking the food
out of the mouths of the farmers
q children, forcing them to go with
: out aid against disease, go in rag
s, ged clothes, to go without shoes
A. because the debts which the
d farmers cannot pay are lawfully
o. contracted" Under the name Of
x claw" he wants to reduce the farm
e ers of Sheridan county and theil
: children to coolie levels.

COLLECTIONS AND EVICTION
1.-THE Communist party supper
this struggle, Truels Jensen o
I'd poses it.
This Liberty party candida
attacks all Of the demonstrate
that the farmers and the worke
IN have held to demand relief duril
~ the present crisis. "Strlkes, del
~ cnstrations, and making deman
has been of no avail in the pa
it has brought nothing but deaf
suffering and heartache to t
%~ participants" According to t
Liberty party, according to Je
sen, the farmers and worke
should not protest, demonstrate
struggle for a better livi
against misery and starvation,
a should lie down and starve pea,
fully. This we have said is
Liberty party program, Tru
- Jensen admits it. This is not
an program which Messers Ma
Nielsen and Alfred Jensen s!
port. The party on whose ticl
b., they are running has a progr
tie contrary to the one which tn
say they favor.
