WHAT FARMERS "DON'T THINK"
AS WRITTEN BY NON-MEMBER
OF THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE
CLOVERDALE RANCH
Sam E. Button, Prop.
Strawberries and Fruits
a Specialty
Larchwood, Aug. 31, 1919.
Editor Montana Nonpartisan,
Great Falls, Mont.
Dear Editor:
A friend of mine who is a member of the N. P. L. handed me a
copy of your paper the other day and in it I noted your request that
members write you "what they think". I wonder if you and your
readers might be interested in what some of the non-members do NOT
think?
Of course you know that a farmer is not supposed to THINK.
Therefore:
We do NOT thing the last sesion of our legislative body accom
plished much material benefit for the drought stricken farmer.
We do not think the Loyalty (?) Legion dope will declare a
large dividend.
We do not thing the farmer's taxes should be very high if only
paid on his net income, as the mines of this State does.
We do not think the progressive minority will be the minority in
the next year.
We do not think the masses are satisfied with the Townley deci
sion.
We do not think the Butte Miner and the Helena Independent
are more than echoes.
We do not think it was anything more than playing to the galler
ies when Landstrum, Evans, Walsh and others spread their salve on
the primary question AFTER the fight was won by the farmers.
We do not think it will be long before the farmers and laboring
men and women join forces.
We do not think the day is far distant when we will think; and
when we do think, the OLD GANG will then think that we have been
thinking that the NONPARTISAN LEAGUE is not so bad after all.
It does not require a great amount of thinking to make a man
wonder what new name the old gang is going to call the progressive
farmer now that we are sofamiliar with the terms, pro-German, so
eialist, bolshevist, anarchist, seditionist, disloyalist, ad infinitum.
Maybe it will be COGITATORS.
Meditatinrly yours,
SASE. BUTTON.
McGLYNN AND ARNOLD
ADDRESS BIG CROWDS
AT NASHUA PICNIC
Leag.e Program Discussed by
McGlynn while Arnold tells of
the recent Speoial ISeuion.
The picnic at Nashua Saturday,
Aug. 30 was a decided success from
every standpoint. A beautiful day
made it possible for all those who de
sired to do so, to take advantage of
the program arranged by the Nonpar
tisan League of Nashua precinct for
their education and entertainment,
and the fact that about 500 persons
availed themselves of this opportunity
STAMPING OUT THE PROFITEER IN NORTH DAKOTA
A7
/J./
. I, v
The people of Montana would stamp out the profiteer just as quiekly as North Dakota did but the Lords of creation constituting the
last legislature DARED NOT LET THE PEOPLE VOTE ON THE DASTARDLY LAWS THEY PASSED. No, indeed, they attached an
"emergency" clause to the law killing the primary TO PREVENT THE PEOPLE VOTING ON IT. But a better day is dawning, and the
short-sighted microbes who took away from the people the right they had secured by popular vote-the right of an open primary, will
get a rebuke the next time the people of Montana go to the polls whi .h will last them a lifetime.
to hear the program of the Nonprti
san League discussed and explained
in a clear, sane and logical way (one
of the things the kept press always
fail to do in their tirades against the
League) attests the fact that the far
mers and small business men are be
coming alive to their mutual interests
and have decided to have a hand in
shaping the destinies of their state
at the 1920 election.
Great Interest Shown
Mr. McGlynn was the first speak
er and in his calm, forceful manner,
went to the heart of the subject in
hand with a statement of what the
farmers want, must have and how
they propose to get it, and although
there had been some delay in getting
the addresses under way and the pa
tience of the audience, perhaps rather
strained, yet from the moment Mr.
McGlynn was introduced to the close
of his address, the rapt attention
which settled over the audience show
ed most plainly that they were there
for a higher and more serious purpose
than just amusement.
Old Iron Sides
Following Mr. McGlynn, Hon. R C.
Arnold, who might well be given the
appelation of "Old Iron Sides " owing
to his fighting qualities and his abil
ity to withstand the most concentrat
edfire of copper minions at Helena
in his inimitable Arnold way, told his
audience of the practical joke perpe
trated upon the people of Montana un
der the guise of a special session of
the legislature for the relief of the
drought stricken farmers. The fight
made by the Leaguers to secure some
real legislation to that end and how
it failed miserably owing to the fail
ure of three of the Leaguers to under
stand the significance of that great
motto "WE'LL STICK" and leaving
the legislative hall before the session
had adjourned, which action was tak
en advantage of by the enemies of the
League to kill any chance o! League
success.
The last speaker, Mr. J. W. Haydon,
a member of the school board of Dist.
No. 13, in a short address made pub
lic a serious condition which exists in
the official and financial condition of
said board. The consensus of opinion
A. C. Townley Stands Just
Where Lincoln Would Stand
IIathaway, Mont., Aug. 22, 1919.
Editor, Montana Nonpartisan,
In reply to "what Your Opinion Is" may say that we have the
old gang on the run and on the live rollers and we will land them
in the scrap pile in 1920. There is an end to all things; the time came
when the Lord said it was time to free the black man, and he was set
free by Lincoln. The time has come for the farmer to be set free and
Townley stands just where Lincoln would stand if he were alive
today.
Every farmer and laboring man should see to it that Townley I
gets fair play. when the battle is over next fall. In my opinion he is
the greatest man of the day and no man can say anything about him
to me without getting my reply.
A banker said to me, he thought the farmers ought to be organ
ized, but he did not like the men at the head of the organization and I
told him that he could take a fine comb and ralCe hell over and he
could not find a bunch like those at the head of the Montana Loyalty
League. He said he had to go. They don't slip nothing on me.
GEEO. H. EVANS.

Hughlett and son of Lothar, Mont.,
were in Grand Forks yesterday on -
their way to Memphis, Tenn., where
they will visit relatives. The trip is
being made by automobile, and will be
by way of St. Louis. He called at the
office of the American to renew his
subscription.
Mr. Hughlett is one of the many
farmers of Montana who were dried
out this year. He lost his entire crop,
as did all his neighbors. He said that
the entire Montana crop was a failure
this year, on account of the drought.
