CHEERS FROM MONTANA
Plevna, Mont.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
Everybody in our neighborhood en
joys the Leader very much. It has
served its purpose as an instructor
and educator for thousands of farm
ers all over "the country. It has suc
ceeded in wiping the old political dust
from the farmers' eyes and ifi re
placing it with the sweet scent of
knowledge.. The farmers possess all
the ingredients which go to make a
"solid rock," with one exception, the
cement. The Leader has acted as the
cement to stick us together and made
us into a solid foundation for democ
racy.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
we only had a newspaper that
was fair to the organized farmers, we
would have something' that was up
and alive. There are hundreds of
farmers in*, this region that the
League could get if the trvth could
be got to them. Hundreds .of.them
are in the grasp of Big &iz and can
not join at give us their names.
GANG POLITICS IN OKLAHOMA
The Democratic party of Oklahoma
has fallen into its own trap, and the
Nonpartisans of the state are laugh
ing at it. William'M.' Webster of
Roosevelt, Okla., and S. R. Cary of
Piedmont have written to the Leader
calling attention to the situation. A
few years ago the Democrats, being
in the majority, and yet fearing the
Republican arid Socialist parties,
framed a law to prevent any fprty not
casting 27t per cent of the last gov
ernor's vo'te in a primary election
from appearing on the ticket in the
general election. The laW was in
tended to avoid fusion of parties, but
their own game caused fusion. The
Republicans got on the ballot 1y a
scratch. The Socialists lost, and now
the Republicans will get the Socialist
vote. The combined vote will equal
144,000, compared to the Democrats'
115,000.
Of course, the Democratic machine
must find a way out. Now the at
torney general thinks the law uncon
stitutional and will take it before the
supreme court.
"Watch the League climb as never
before," the Leaguers write.
WANTS A FRIENDLY PAPER
Newport, Wash.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
As I am a member of the League
and a believer in its principles, I re
sent the abuse heaped upon us simply
because we differ with the editors of
the small-town papers. They seem
to have a greater grouch against us
now since we are stopping these un
friendly papers.. I have ordered two
of them to discontinue sending their
paper and I think there will be more
to follow. I would like the names of
some friendly papers, preferably some
farm paper. I think it would be a
good thing if the Leader woiild print
tiie names and addresses of all the
friendly papers in the state of Wash*\
ington. This will give our members
a chance of hitting back at the press
that is so unfair to the organized
farmers. This 'isnt la pink tea it is
a fight to a finish.
I am in favor of the League own
ing more than one paper. Idaho has
control of several small papers. The
League is doing excellent work. Keep
it up! We will stick!
