Willmar. Minn. RIGHT MUST TRIUMPH IN WORLD WIDE WAR. "This war must be won and will be won, not for the safety of political democracy alone, but for the (triumph of right over might, for the supremacy of every moral principle that distinguishes a civilized man from a savage. Kaiserism Is going to be kicked off the planet—and some other things as well. King Privilege will go, King Booze and King Su perstition. 4. "Every day we are demon strating the superiority of the principle of co-operative effort over the old system of in dividualism by which each man grabbed all he could get, with no care for the common good. For the safety of the very life of the civilized world governments, and ours among the rest, have been compelled to sieze and operate great utili ties. It has opened wide the eyes of the world. Men every where are saying if this is good in war time, why not in peace time? For example— we have taken over the rail roads, and they are never going back to private owner ship. A war within the war Is in progress. The Tory rich are playing their old game to enrich and entrench them selves. But they will lose. I is because President Wilson, Secretary Baker, Sec retary Daniels, and men like them, are for DEMOCRACY and a democratic settlement of the war that they are being hated and maligned by the Big Rich."—Judson King of Wash ington before Nonpartisan League rally at St. Paul. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4. 1 I I You have got to clean and clear the bowels thoroly to have good health after months of indoor life you would do so now if you could see them as you do your face or hands.

At a meeting of the Watertown Chamber of Commerce March 528 the matter of the treatment that has been accorded the League and League speakers at several places in North Dakota was discussed, and such ac tions were pronounced "Inexcusable, uncalled for and un-American." The Chamber of Commerce went on rec ord in favor of the farmers' organi zation making its headquarters in Watertown, and in a very courteous letter to Mr. Duncan said in part: "The writer is instructed to say to you in the name of ttfe Watertown Chamber of Commerce, that every courtesy, hospitality and good will is extended to the Nonpartisan League to make our city its head quarters. We most heartily invite you to consider our invitation in the spirit in which it Is offered.
