TAYLOR SPEAKS
ON PRESS
Chas. E. Taylor, editor of the
Producers News, was recognized,
who spoke upon the press, and the
necessity of a Holiday organ with
statewide circulation, advocating
the Holiday principles and promot-
ing the Farmer-Labor Party now
that the Holiday Association has
committed itself to that policy.
AN organization is just as big
and strong as its. press" said
Taylor. eff you would build a
Holiday Association that can ex-
ert the mass power, every con-
templated foreclosure and eviction
In Montana can be halted, and if
you would take over the political
power of the state, you must build
a circulation for your official
paper that will take it to every
farm home in the state. The Pro-
ducers News is 10 years old, and
during these nearly two score Of
years it has always fought for the
political and economic interests Of
the farmers and workers as
class. 1t has done this in spite of
financial loss and every sort of OBJ
stacle thrown in it's way by the
enemies of the farmers and the
workers. The paper is in desper-
ate financial circumstances now,
and is only issuing because of the
loyalty and devotion of those who
understand the battles it has
fought, and what it means in the
future struggles of the farmers.
The paper cannot exist unless you
farmers and workers so will it.
1t is now in a crisis. But the
problem is not difficult, and is an
OrganiZational matter. If you
farmers and workers will get be-
hind it in an organized way, it
will survive the storm as it has
so many storms in the past. II
the paper is not what you want
it to be, with your help we car
make it what it should be. This
is not a personal matter with me;
