Leaders in War.
PatriStle was the keynote of the
bswed coaterepce b4 at St. Paul
sg vwek between the organized
"t# #t the Notional Nonpartisan
aM the union workers of the
ey.
At every mention of President WI
-soW' feame, the delegates rose t0
t.ir thet with wild cheers and they
left no dpubt through ;it their exprew
lioas that they are squarely behind
the government In their support of
the war.
Early wr the convention a stirring
meesage . assuring President Wilson
of the loyal o of the Northwestern
ermoers was read to the convention,
acekimed by-tumultuous applause, and
then wired to Washington, D. C.
Later a message from Herbert Hoover
to the farmers was read to the con
-ention and loudly applauded.
Herbert Hoover's telegram and the
praseene of William Kent, now mem
ber ef the PFderal Tariff commission
ad formerly congressman from Call.
Codai, showed that the United
Otstes government has no doubt
about the frenzied attempt of Minne
sota politicians to brand the league's
leaders as disloyal.
Kent Representec Government.
William Kent was sent to the con
vention by George Creel, head of the
Bureau of Public Information, when
Francis J. Heney, In charge of the
packers' investigation, was unable to
come. Mr. Kent told the farmers and
workers that he represented the
President and that he would return
with the assurance that the Nonparti
san league was loyal.
Other speakers brought cheering
realse from men high in the councils
of the national administration. A
letter was read from George Creel
which stated that "Despite attacks,
I believe intensely In the loyalty of
the Nonpartisan league. I have done
all in my power to protect it from
unftai assault." and Mrs. Huldah
Harold Bain, wife of Capt. Robert
'Thurston Bain, navigation officer in
the United States, navy, brought the
audience to its feet with cheers when
she announced that she had come to
the conference with the approval of
her husband's commander-in-chief.
Another speaker. Rev. S. R. Max
wall of Denver, said he had a letter
from President Wilson which was so
parsedal that he could not read it,
but which declared that the Non
partisan league "Is absolutely, dlv.
luely and majestically American."
Sneers of Pepers Silenced.
Wve the subsidized Twin City
dailies, which day after day tried to
distort and misrepresent the doings
ef the convention, were silent in the
face of this evidence. These papers
sneearingly said It was "only camou
Sage' when the farmers and workers
opened their sessions with the sine.
ing of "The Stars and Stripes" and
"America," but they did not dare to
jeer when the word was brought from~
Washington that the natior'al ad
ministration considers the Nonparti
son league loyal.
The whole convention was a con
kinclng demonstration of the patriot
lam of Nonpartisan league members
and officials. Not by words alone.
but by deeds the farmers dip"lqved
their loyalty, for their resolutionsq
again cheerfully agreed in the pr1-"
'of wheat set by the President for the
1918 crop, only asking in return that
all other commodities be treated upon
the same basis and calling upon
Congress to enact legislation that
will enable President Wilson to ea
tend his price-fxing policy and pre
veat profiteering in other industries.
Profiteers Greatly Alarmed.
Incidentally, this action in regard
to prioe-fixing legislation explains
wby the Nonpartisan league is so
bitterly assailed by the Special In
tprets and Their subsidized newpa
pars. bThe profiteers tear that the
league's recommendations will he
e*rried out and If this is done they
ftresee a drastic reduction In their
present swollen dividends. This ex
plans their frantic charges of dis
loyalty. They are trying to dicrredit
the league and to divert attention
borm thefr own misdeeds.
