the press about The governors
conference. 1t fell completely
from the columns, and its dis
CussiOns are shrOuded in COM
plete secrecy.
The Devils Lake daily papers
nor any of the great daily
papers printed this sensational
disclosure of tremendous sig
nificance if the press wires
carried it to their news desks,
and the reason is not hard to
find; the war point on the
agenda of the governors con-
ference was secre. and every
press association knew this as
well as the big dailies so
neither the wires nor the
papers reported Gov. hangers
war pl0' disclosures.
Upon receiving information of
Langer's statements at Devils
Lake from farmers and others
who attended the holiday conven-
ton, Ashbel Ingerson, Executive
Secretary of the North Dakota
Farmers Committee of Action in
behalf of the Committee of Action,
made inquiries.
"The farmers of North Da-
kOta nor the workers Of North
Dakota do not want another
war;" said Secretary IngersOn
to a Producers News reporter.
'SThey remember toe well the
last war and the blood that
was split to make MOrgah's
millions safe. They remem
Der the graft and the million
aires that were made from the
blood of heir sons. They re-
member how the soldiers were
refused their bonuses by the
Wall Street plumber band; how
the veterans were chased out
of Washington with gas and
machine gums, when they and
their wives and children naked
and starving demanded the
money they had coming to
them to feed their loved ones,
and how their tents and beds
aud clothes were put to the
torch by the agent of Wall
Street in the White House,
and how some of their COM
rades were even murdered to
protect the profits of the plu-
tOcrats who baten and waxen
on the blood and sweat of the
farmers and workers; they are
conscious that the Roosevelt
Wall Street government have
cut $4O0,000,0O0 from the
compensation from the sick
and crippled victims of the
last war, while expanding
nearly a billion dollars for
preparation for THE impending
war which is now Just around
the corner"

HOW DID THE PROMISE
COME TO BE MADE?

Sec. Ingerson sharply asked Gov.
LANCER in his open letter to ex-
plain how he happened to make
this promise to Roosevelt. He
asked the governor to tell whether
or not the impending imperialistic
war was a point on the agenda of
the governors conference, that had
not been published, and whether
he was sworn to secrecy or not
In regard there to. Ingerson asked
LANCER if all of the other COVER
nors made similar promises to the
President, or if some of them re-
fused to pledge the flesh and blood
of the youth of their state to fight
for the stakes of plutocracy in an
other world slaughter.

THE AGENDA THAT WAS
MADE PUBLIC

Banking, a subject missing
from the original agenda for the
governors conference tomorrow
with President Roosevelt, domi-
mated the thoughts and discussions
today of the state executives who
remained in Washington for the
meeting.
when Mr.. Roosevelt issued the
conference call Feb. 8 he outlined
mortgage relief, federal aid to the
unemployed, conflicting state and
federal taxes, consolidation, re-
forestation and the elimination of
marginal lands from cultivation,
as subjects he felt could be talked
over with state heads to mutual
profit.
Necessarily banking will be
added to the list :
MANY of those (govenors) re-
manning, however, felt that by
keeping closely in touch with de-
velopments out Of business and
cabinet conferences here that they
would be better prepared to take
additional action in their states
if need deveiopedAthan if they
went back TO their capitols."

GOVERNOR TELLS STATE
SECRETS


Those wise to what is going on |
behind the doors in the chambers !
where the war mongers meet, are
positive Governor Langer told the !
truth at Devils Lake. They believe |
that Governor Langer was taken
into confidence and informed of
war plots and plans. They are
sure other governors made SINH
lar promises. And they are con-
WINGED Governor Langer told Presi-
dent Roosevelt that he would sup
port the war just as he told the
| farmers that he did, at Devils
Lake. And they know that Gov.
LANCER will keep his promise-he
will support the war and that he
is now secretely supporting it and
laying his plans to send the North
Dakota boys into the shambles
when war breaks. Those wise to
the war plans know that the boys
are in the forestry camps ready
to be forced into the army the mo-
ment the war breaks. And those
wise to the war plans know that
the governors at the conference
were pledged and sworn to secrecy
and they know that Governor
Langen divulged state secrets at
Devils Lake, and they are well
aware that the governor is going
to deny to Ashbel Ingerson and
the farmers and workers of North
Dakota that he made any such
statement as charged at the holi-
day convention, at Devils Lake OF
any other place at any time.

Did you make these state

statement or statements in
any other words that meant
the same as those quoted

l am asking you this on be-
half of the North Dakota
Farmers Committee for Ac-

organization, we are very In
terested in the atti' ude taken
toward the question of war by
our state and national Off

world war which our people
were duped TO participate IN
by the lying politicians of
that time.
A DErl4NIlE ORDER VI
BUSINESS
When the president of The
nation calls a conference OF
the governors of all of the
states he calls it to discuss
certain things that he wants
to discuss. Certainly they do
not Get together and have long
discussions on any old sub
Pect, but are guided by an
agenda containing the specific
subjects that the conference
was called to discus. Evident
ly the question of the posi-
bility of this country entering
war with someone in the near
future was one subject on the
agehda at that conference,
And certainly that subject was
considered to be of great i'm
pOrtance and a real posi-.
bility or the President would
not have called a conference
and discussed it with all Of
the governors. In view of the
fact thSt the government Is
building many new warship'
and aerOplanes and is also a
the present time buying larg'
numbers of cavalry horses b
Nebraska and elsewhere,
would appear to me that Their
is more real war preparation
going on than the public i
aware of. As this side of tn

profession of the promises he had
made to Roosevelt at the Cover

had been called by the President
ON February 8, to meet with him
right after the inauguration March
a, as a prelude to the grand
launching of the "new DEAL" to
talk things over.

unable to attend the inauguration
as he had planned, because the
North Dakota legislature had not
yet adjourned, and the Farmers

creating a situation that he did
not think it wise to leave, left for

had signed the bank and insurance
moratorium, and the order closing
all of the state banks in the state,
so that the bankers did not have
to pay their depositors until it
was more convenient, and the In
solvent insurance companies need
not pay their demands.
