LEAGUE HISTORIES
HE extent
test in
league is aroused in all
parts of the country is
indicated by the big sale
of the two recent books
on the League. In addition to' large
numbers of books being disposed of by
regular booksellers, the Nonpartisan
Leader is selling scores of copies a'
week, some orders being from Canada
state in the Union.
The Leader will continue' to sell thef
books as long as the supply we have
contracted for from the publishers at,
reduced rates holds out, but reader^
will have to get their orders in early
if they are to profit by the reduced
rates we are making.'
Mr. Gaston's book, "The Nonpar
tisan League," regularly sells at $1.75
per cojjy, but we are making a rate of
$1.25 to Leaguers. Mr. Hussell's
book, "The Story of the Nonpartisan
League," regularly sells for $2 per
copy, but we are making a rate of
$1.25 to Leaguers. Both ctf these spe
cial prices represent' actual cost of
the volumes. When the Leader's sale
closes purchasers will have to pay reg
ular publishers'- prices for the books.
Practically all the orders the Leader
has "had to date have .'been for both
volumes. In fact, the student, or per
son interested in the League move
ment, should have both books. They
cover different ground, though both
are real impartial histories of the
movement. Mr. Gaston's book is a
straight reporter*® narrative* Mr. Rus
sell's more of an economic interpreta
tion^ both of the League legislation in
North Dakota and of conditions dat
ing back 50 years in the Northwest
which led up to the advent of Mr.
Townley as a farmers' organizer.
If you want to avail yourself'of the
reduced price offer you will have to act
soon. Send your order for either or
both books to the Book Department,

'.r« POLITICAL GHOSTS
1
Gerald Stanley Lfee has written a
book. "The Ghost in the White House"
(Dutton), one of the editors opined the
other day, wfcs a clever title. Any one
would think it applied to Wilson. In
fact, though, it doesn't. It's rather
difficult to learn to what it applies.
Nevertheless Mr. Lee has written a
book. Aii Arab proverb recognized
that a£ accomplishment a long time
ago. Only the cynics would destroy it
—the proverb, that is. What the cynics
would do to Mr. Lee's opus is another
question. i-
Mr. Lee organized his book with the
idea in mind that he would teach the
people how to choose a president. The.
cover announces four editions, ac
knowledgment of the cleverness of
the advertising worshipper timed to
coincide wit^i a presidential conven
tion year.

Wandering through a forest of
words, wherein he ^ven paints the
trees, Mr. Lee struggles against im
mersion in -the sands on the desert of
economics, which is to him obviously
trackless, and becomes lost in the laby
rinth of political science, without even
the string of primary research to
gui&e him,
Setting out to embody in words the
people's president, he replaces the
ghost in the White House (the figure
symbolizes the meaningless figurehead
of government under the -present sys
tem) with nothing more than an ab
straction beside which the ghost is the
