ciales, las venideras eleccioneS

Esta es la peor noticia que
puede darse a la colonia latina,
ansiosa de extirpar 10 que Sc
llama la ''leyenda negra" de los
barrios que crearon la vitalidad
de Tampa.
Para muchos c~iudadan9s anne
ricanos, que no Sc toman ell TIA
bajo de averiguar, Ybor City Y
West Tampa son dos guaridaS
de contra bandistas, ,j~ugadore3
tramposos y ''ladrones" de vo-
toS.
La realidad es muy distinta !:
La mayor parte de las personals
que habitan en- los barrios lati-
nos Sc oponen de TODD coraZ0n
de contrabandistas, jugad0res
de indulgencia para ell juego
prohibido y anhelan cJn<2ios
estrictamente decentes, eScru-
pulosos, sin "rellenadores' de
votos'', "forreros" Y "repetido-
res.
Sc oponen los yborcitenos y
westampenos a los atracos eiec
torales y ahora mismo verian
con gusto que ell gobierno fede-
raj, como hace en- paises que no
lie pertencen, donde no debiera
meterse, supervisara los conf
clos de JUNO y todos los demas
hasta que Sc eliminara ell anti
democratico NAL.
Y no arrojamos la culpa ex-
clusivamente sobre uno de los
dos o tres grupos que Sc dispu-
tan ell dominic de la politica en-
la ciudad y en- ell condad3.
Hace amos 81 grupo domina-
dor daba la ''brava" al otro o

r~reando", "repitiendo', etc. etc.

manejos y volvi6 sus ojos hacia
otro grupo, que lie ofrecia hon
radas elecciones y depuraci6n.
En- contacto con ell Poder, los

tad popular. iVamos a seguir
hasta ell fin de nuestras vidas
tolerando que los grupos politi-
cos Sc "arrebaten' ell gobierno

que Juan derribe a Pedro, lie

Farmers League characterizes the
injunction as a "headlong move of
the state government and the
banker class toward open fascism".
IF permitted to continue. the
injunction deprives the farmers
and workers of the most elemen-
tary civil rights of free press, free
speech, and the right of assembly
guaranteed by the constitution, I"
states the national office. eft is
direct attack on the militant
class organizations of the workers
and farmers in an effort to crush
the resistance to foreclosures and
evictions. Such action taken in the
interests of the bankers and in
surance companies, clearly exposes
the effects of the new deaP on the
struggling farm population"
The arrest of the Is Roberts
county farmers and the injunction
against the United Farmers
League grew out of the action of
the workers and farmers in pro-
testing the eviction of Harry Me
land. farmer. and in putting the
Nieland family back on the farm
from which the Northwestern In
surance Co. had him evicted.

Eighteen Roberts County farm
ers, including Julius Walstad,
state secretary of the United Fan m
ers League are held in Jail, and
more arrests are expected hourly
as the state, at the Msistence of
the bankers and insurance COM
panies goes forward with its al
tempts to crush the resistance Of
the farmers to foreclosures and
evictions. Meanwhile meetings of
farmers to prepare for the defense
of their imprisoned comrades are
being held despite the fact that
the injunction forbids them.
The judge has set March 81 for
a hearing at which the farmers
must SHOW cause" why the tenn
porary injunction suPpressing the
United Farmers League and the
Unemployed Council should not be
made permanent.
The United Farmers League
calls on all workers and farmers
organizations to mail or wire pro-
tests to President Roosevelt, to
Governor Berry of South Dakota,
and to Judge Babcock at Sisseton.
Roberts County is one of the
best organized counties in the
west, and because of its strength
threatens the profits of the morn
gage holding banks and insurance
companies" says the UFL. This
organization has been built UP al
the price of much sacrifice and
hard work On the part of the
farmers to protect their homes. /
is this organization which the statt
is attempting to suppress and de
stroy."
Injunction Names UFL and NC
The injunction is designed T.
make illegal any action of farm
ers and workers. Ninety-two farm
ers and workers, the United Farm
ers League and the Unemployed
Council are named in the injunc

O'TOOLE DEFENSE
EXPECTS BIGGEST
CROWD MARCH 81
Main Purpose Is Not Enter
tainment but Protest
Against Frame-up


Reports coming in to the United
Front Committee sponsoring the
appeal of the case of Raymond
O'Toole are very favorable-indi-
eating that On the evening of
March 81 (weather permitting) one
of the largest crowds that has ever
been witnessed at the Farmer La
Dor Temple will be present to en-
joy an evenings entertainment
which promises to be thriller.
The entertainment, however, is
only secondary issue, as the prin-
ciple reason for this splendid re-
spouse is to assure Raymond
O'Toole that the farmers through
out the county have a clearer un-
derstanding of what justice means
when administered against an un-
employed worker, who was framed
to satisfy the vengeance of DR..
Storkan, a small town medical doc
tor.
The farmers are beginning to
understand that the courts of the
capitalist rule are nothing more
than refined instruments of cruelty
with a veneer of mock democracy,
employed to hood-wink those who
still cling to the mistaken belief
that everybody has an equal
chance before the law.
The farmers have learned tina,
in the case Of Raymond O'Toole
all the forces of prejudice ano
coercion were used to build up the
sentiment of the people against
him by the members of the city
council, county officials and the
members of the Chamber of Com
merce-these people have gone to
the extent of threatening local at
torneys with a boycott if they
dared to handle the case against
DIR. Storkan.
Such is the brand of justice,
democracy and equality that the
mainstreeters and their official
tools believe in giving to an un-
employed worker who was refused
both relief and relief work when
his wife and children lacked ever
the simplest necessities of life.
The witch burners of Plenty
wood wanted a victim and when
they could not successfully frame
a case against two other indi-
viduals of the great army of un.
employed their attack was centereG
on Raymond O'Toole. His was the
blood they shrieked for, unmindfu
of the agony and grief it would
bring on a sickly wife and her
half starved children.
The individuals who were framec

in this case were forced to go into
another state in order to secure
the services of a lawyer to defend
them in a capitalist court. So
widespread had the business mems
boycott become that this step was
necessary.
Mr.. Owens of Williston under
took to handle the case treating it
as of small account. When the
charges were presented before the
court, Mr.. Owens moved for a dis
missal on the grounds that there
was no case against these three
workers.
The court Immediately dismissed
the cases against two of the in
dividuals and mainstreet became
panic stricken. There was evidence
of great confusion as to how best
to hold one in the net of frame
up, with the result that to furnish
Roman holiday, O'Toole had to
stand trial.
The result is known. Only one
little thing should be kept in mind
Mr.. Truax w. Greer, who was
employed to assist an unex-
perienced District Attorney to
prosecute the case, knows and says
that Raymond O'Toole should not
have been convicted ON the evi-
dence presented.
Everybody to the Farmer Labor
Temple on March 81 to protest
against the frarne-up Of Raymond
OToole.

FARMERS MAKE
BUTTER But EAT
II LEOMARGARTNE
By a Farmer Correspondent

MEANWHILE, Pa.-Want to tell
you how successful the Eastern
farmers are. Some people think
that farmers are not hit by the
depression. Of course some of
them milk cows and sell milk. But
the truth is, that they can't eat
their own butter. They take their
butter and sell it in order to get
a little money scraped up to pay
On taxes. If they want butter, they
substitute cleo.
l know 20 farmers personally,
and, to be honest, every one owes
money. They borrow to the full
value of their property and then
get sold out, of course. When you
city people see these rich farm
homes, please don't think they ars
going to be there long.

Democrats VIII Follow
General Plan Adopted
Two Years Ago
By Hans Rasmussen

The PlentywOod Herald comes
out with big headlines and tells
us readers that Democrats favor
united front" And that they
started mixing the medicine" at
meeting held here last Sunday,
When Simon Faaborg, ex-banker of
Medicine Lake, was chairman.
That something in that line is
gong to be done is no surprise at
al to anybody familiar with the
pOnucal maneuvers in Sheridan
county for the past several years,
Ever since the old Nonpartisan
SsyS,. ever since the Farmers OF
sheridan county started taking an
SC'lve part in politics, the two OLD
parties, Republican and Democrat
nave formed a united front against

CO. DEMOCRATS FIND UNITED
!" FRONT A BITTER NECESSITY

are keeping their ears pretty close
to the ground.
What is worrying Harry Polk
at this time is how he can nanipu-
late election of bunch that will
be willing to give him the county
printing contract for another two
years. He thinks that now he has
the best show of keeping the farm
ers out of office by blowing for
the Democrats, SO that is what he
has started doing.
The Democrats also know they
will have no trouble getting the
Republicans lined up for their
ticket this year. 1t has for years
been a gentleman's agreement be-
tween the two parties to line up on
one ticket or the other in order to
beat the farmers.
What they are all laying awake
nights for at this time is how to
figure out a way by which they
can get a half-way-between ticket
put in the field to fool the farmers
and what kind Of a name to give
it.
The Old Corps Stin2s
Two years ago they had the Lib
erty party, and they went to the
trouble and expense of bringing
Pat Wallace and old man Duncan
there to help them put it over, and
it worked we'll. They were ticklec
over the results and considered the
money well spent.
4 But they cannot work the same
gag twice. The Liberty party ha'
served the purpose it was createt
for and then it died. The corps i
sinking, to bring it back would d
. no good.
To figure out something to Zoo
the farmers again this year it
; where thev are having their big
gest trouble. They know that tn
farmer is not going to vote 10
ANYTHING connected with the MIA
, the CWA, the AAA or any othe
5 "A". so they will have to create
new party of some kind betwee
now and election, and hire some
: BODY else but Pat Wallace to com
n in here and help them put it owe,
: so thew can keep the farmers an
t workers where they are able t
; handle them. This is their of
gest problem now.
