MAPLE GROVE, May 25.—EDITOR
FARMERS' LEADER: Dear Sir—Please to
allow mft space in your paper to reply to
the articles published in the News relat
ing to the FARMERS' LEADER PUBLISHING
COMPANY and myself, and first let me say
that the editor of the News can crawl
through a very small hole in the way of
evading a test as to whether he has in
many ways falsely represented the actions
of the board of directors of the LEADER
Publishing Company or not.
Fir3t, he proposes to pay me for the
time used in pointing out the many ways
he has falsely represented the actions of
the board, and when hfs offers is accepted
and only three dollars is asked, Brother
Nash crawls out by saying (we will de
posit the amount, $3, with any responsi
ble man he may name, then Mr. Brad
shaw may choose a third, the only re
strictions we place on the selection, being
that none of the stockholders of. the
LEADER Company, when Mr. Bradshaw
convinces this committee that our state
ments were false in many particulars,
the holder of the money is hereby author
ized to pay it over to him. Now, Brother
Nash, are there any further details or pre
liminary arrangements over the condi
tions by which I may earn ALL of $3
and again give you an opportunity to
make false statements regarding this
company? It is very evident that either
you or I are lying, and as you pride your
self on the correctness of your statements
I will make you the following offer. I
will deposit in any one of the three banks
of Canton 8100, you to deposit a like
amount, subject to the following condi
tions, that if I cannot prove to the satis
faction of a majority of a committee of
three, selected as you have before stated,
that the articles, any one or all as pub
lished in the Sioux Valley News relating
to the FARMERS' LEADER Publishing
Company and the board of directors are
in many particulars false then the $200
is to be paid over to you, but should I
prove to the satisfaction of a majority of
the committee, that any one or all of said
articles arc false in many particulars then
the money is to be paid over to me.
It is to be hoped that the history of
the past is more truthful than the his
tory that the News gives us of the pre
sent, the editor of which prides himself
on the correctness of his statements. A
short time since the News stated that of
the board of directors, onlj' Messrs. Isack
son and Holter had made any effort to
carry out the contract with Pierre in good
faith, but after his memory had been
jogged he found one other, and then an
other, whose name fof obvious reasons
had been left forgotten, and it is probable
that if he had not tired me out on that

4 Faithful LEADER in the Cause of Economy and Reform, the Defender of Truth and Justice, the Foe of Fraud and Corruption.
IT IS NO BLUFF,
Hon. Henry Bradshaw Makes N. C. Nash
subject he would finally have found all
the board to have carried out their con
tract in good faith. Yet the News prides
itself on the correctness of its statements.
Again, the News of M$y 15, contains the
following premeditated and dastardly
false report which the editor no doubt
prides himself on for the correctness ot
its statements:
"Shortly after the paper was started, a
meeting of the directors was called, and
at this meeting Messrs. Bradshaw, Lea
vitt, and Gehon attempted to commit the
paper to the independent party, and when
a vote was finally taken, only those three
voted for it while Messrs Isackson, Hok
enstad, Sundvoid, and Larson voted
against the scheme. Mr. Gehon, who
was vice-president of the company, refus
ed to declare the motion lost as he should
have done and as any honest man would
have done, but demanded a division.
Then Bradshaw made one of his wild
harangues and finally Larson was won
over and these four Arectors, in violation
of the by-laws of thep organization usurp
ed the authority of the stockholders and
committed the paper to the independent
party, thus compelling republican stock
holders to pay the independent fiddler
and dance to independent music."
This portion of the News editor's article
is precisely like most all of his articles
when a certain purpose is in view, and it
is such articles that gives cause for a
paper belonging to the farmers wherein,
they may have an' opportunity to advance
ideas and defend themselves against
untruthful accusations, unjust and un
fair insinuations.
First Leavitt, was not present at this
meeting of the board. Was not nor never
has been a member of the board and con
sequently could not vote and there is no
doubt N. C. knew it when he wrote that
article and substituted the name of Lea
vitt in place of Ole Byre because it would
sound better to have Leavitt, Gehon and
Bradshaw, all candidates on the indepen
dent ticket as, the prime movers in mak
ing THE LEADER an independent jmper—
independent tjhj^ciie sense of the word.
And then you know^oTcickVat" Ole' Byre
it could possibly work N. C. some injury
among the Norweigans, but to have Lea
vitt in, that would serve the purpose in
fine shape,. But to proceed, and these
four directors in violation, of the by-laws
of the organization usurped the au
thority of the stockholders and etc. Let
me say that this statement is false regard
less of the News priding itself on the cor
rectness of its statements. The board of
directors did not usurp the authority
of the stockholders and it's proven by the
fact that at a meeting of the stockholders
held at a later date no change was made
or attempted to be made in the stand of
the paper, and further, prior to the ac
tion of the board in this matter the opin
ion of many of the stockholders was ask
ed and to size it all up in a few words,
there arc a few strong republican- stock
holders in this company that expected to
get the strengtli of the farmers, alliance
