-Have received the Nonpartisan,
Leaders and read them .with much
interest. We made the right step
by starting the .leader, as we are:
now able to reach our brother farm-5

Have already met some of thej
brother farmers who had given tupi
practically all hope .of organizing the
.farmers, or jget them to vote their?
own ticket they /believe they hav.e!
at last woke up.
Sloping the Nonpartisan Leader*
will ^feep growing -so we that mayi
turn in to the next legislature and!
make a clean sweep and show thi
brother farmers that we are able tdj
take care of our own affairs.
Yours truly,

From Industrial Freedom: The
Nonpartisan League, simply means
that the farmers and workers of the
State .are -going to stand together
that those who compose nearly all of
the State's population, are going to
rule it means the end of a minority
ity rule. It means that those who
pay all the taxes, are going to em
•:ploy their own legislature and offi
cers to spend it. It is simply pop
ular government, instead of Party
^Government. It means that iihe
things' the Farmers WANT, -they
want worse than they do PARTY.
This movement can be carried on in
dividually and independently in a
measure you can 'think those ideas
you .can say with your determination
—:"That you «re not .going to car®
-very much for any party that ^ou
