They Discovered They Were Relatives

"Unawed by Influence, Unbribed by CAIN
This the remark that appears the masthead OF the
Salisbury renegade from Communism and P Wallace,
salesman for the notorious Liberty Party And the remark
is quite necessary
Otherwise some people might wonder who is paying for
20 600 copies that according the masthead printed
of the first issue people might wonder who is backing FUR
Their of this wonderful paper that punhsneo
the interest of farmers organizations fighting against fore
closures evcons such the Farmers Holiday Assoca
ton of Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana by the
Agrarian Pub. Co"
The remark is quite in place otherwise farmers might
oos come to the conclusion especially should they read
the contents of the paper that the Militant Farmer has the
financial backing of the LANCER political machine of North
Data and the time the support dollars and cents
of the Farmer-Labor Governor Olson.
far be it from us to believe that the gentlemen Sails
bury and Wallace launching this paper because they are
"brbed by gain No, certainly not The two gentlemen as
we know them really the two greatest deasts that
ever worked Sheridan county and the county should really
be proud of the fact that these men nave lived wt us
borders Yes sir
However it must be remarked that there number
of farmers in this county who don't share our high opinion
OF these two gentlemen They believe that tins new paper
is Just another racket to be used to deceive farmers and
workers and the time make money for It's manager
and editor and other elements connected with it. In TACT
they openly made such statements In our Office the Oer
day.
We are really somewhat surprised. We always believed
farmers to with good reasoning power put %nen
they such degTatory remarks ABOUT TWO Oh the eS
characters, we begin to wonder
But fortunately there other people in Sheridan
contv Certain businessmen at least know how to appre
ciate the that is being done by the new paper Anc
since they are of action they do than just spe
favoraby about the Militant Farmer, they actively suppo
it. Since businessmen always busy they cannot very
go out and talk for the and get subscribers Du
they money and they paid good for the advertisement
space they bought from Mr. Salisbury We even to
that the Commercial Club of Pentywood going to get be
hind this paper.
Maybe we don't know businessmen well, because
farmers tell that businessman pays out money whou
getting anything in return These farmers say that there
election campaign coming around and that two
the ManStreet elements during election time launched tn
socaed Liberty Party for the single purpose of splitting
the votes of the Communists and that the who did tn
launching Mr. P Wallace who is at present editor
the Militant Farmer.
These farmers argue that since the Mainstreeters tn
Republicans, Democrats whatever they call themselves
are IN kind OF bad fix far the election concerne
ana hat therefore they going to try the trick again
launching some radical looking party ticket to again spl
the ranks OF the farmers and the votes of those Communist
When we come to think this it sounds quite logc
TO u.s. In fact we have already received definite nformato
