THE VICTORY OK THK FARMERS'NONi'ARTISAN IJIAGUE IN NORTH DAKOTA li lliiiiv I', itlcharditnn lln 1 Nonpartlmin League 10l Nnttli DiKolu in the recent completely anil by enormmi legislative, executive I i 111 lie 1 111 .1 Mi 111 the rninetil of North Dakota The League elected nearly. loo mem licim of In- legislature, of thorn on the republican, Home on the democratic ami some on the Socialist ticket, The League's candidate for governor, Lynn .1. a republican and a farmer, was elected by 65,000 majority, while at the same time Wilson carried the state for president. The Longue took no part in this election on the candidate for president, United States house of representatives nor United States senate. Mo of the League candidates for the late ticket were on the republican ticket.

Their candidate for Btate treasurer was run on the democratic ticket, and while he polled about votes it will require the official count to determine the result. The League's three candidates for the supreme court (which gives them the majority of the court) were elected by from 10,000 to 12,000 majorities. About twenty of the League candidates elected to the legislature are Socialists, although most of them were run as democrats or republicans, inn all farmers. In the primaries last June many Socialists and democrats registered as republicans for strategic reasons, since North Dakota has an election to the master class, that requires voters to tell the tax asessor their political affiliation. A complete non-partisan ballot law will be one of the first acts of the incoming legislature.

The legislative program of the Farmers' Nonpartisan League, upon which it organized the farmers and with which they weie completely victorious in the primaries and in the recent election, is as follows: State owned terminal elevators, flour mills, stock yards, packing houses and cold storage plants. State hail insurance. State inspection of dockage and grading of grain. Exemption of farm improvements from taxation. State rural credit banks to be operated at cost.

The newly-elected legislature will have the power to deal favorably with this program. Part of the items by the constitutional action and part by direct legislative action. The Farmers' Nonpartisan League began to organize early in 1915, as a result of the hostile action of two previous legislatures in respect to state terminal elevator and other essentially farmer legislation relating to the marketing and conversion of farm products. Ford cars were used to carry the organizers directly to the farmers' homes and by the date of the primaries in June, 1916, they had enrolled over 40,000 members, each of whom paid $9 for membership. Subsequently in Minnesota, South Dakota and Montana the fee was fixed at BHi for two years, and the reorganization in North Dakota is now being carried out at $10 for two years.

In North Dakota during the first year every member received Pearson's Magazine and the League organ, the Nonpartisan Leader, for one year. Charles Edward Russell was employed by the League to start the STOP AND CONSIDER The Drs. Westberg, of the Walsh building, are not. only Socialists but support this paper by advertising, and we think ii- is the duty of every Socialist, to turn what, trade they can thai way. Next time you have trouble with youi teeth tx" to Westbergs, Brodeck Field used to advertise in this paper, but during the past year they have done very little, and from the way their advertising man spoke to us last week we are satisfied that they hate the Socialists like poison.

Powei deputy and manager of the Farm Products Association, has quit a erti ing in this paper. He Bore at us some three months ago when took up the free speech trouble. There is not a bank in this city that will advertise in this paper. You have money to spend and all the merchants are seeking your trade. Sei il that (hey advertise.

Have a talk with the owner or manager and gel them to advertise. Your purchasing power is a valuable asset to this paper-. This paper will be printed as long as we get enough advertising mai ter.

Prim in ihs' primariea and after the representatives of I'ig buiineas within and without the state discover ed Romewhai the size and character of the movement there was launched the moat bitter newspaper campaign against the League thai ever arose in the Northwest. The Kept Press, big and little, fully justified Its existence, Bul It waa nut long before many of them fell by the wayside. They awoke to find dwindling or almost utterly destroyed subscription list.

They called ilic farmers and later $9 "suckers." The executive officers and ogranizers of the League were characterised as carpetbaggers, Socialists, anarchists, W. W.s, atheists, infidels and freelovers. The farmers were warned that the legislative program of the League w.i Socialism pine and simple, and the farmers began to write to their formerly favorite family with their cancellation of subscription, thai if thai was Socialism, they wanted it now. The Farmers' Nonpartisan League before the primraies made a condition with the already organized labor bodies of North Dakota which operated to their mutual benefit through tlio primaries and the election. The organization now proceeding in Minnesota, South Dakota and Montan is aimed at the capture of those states in on programs identical with thai of North-Dakota.

Almost the full strength of the Socialists supported the League program and League candidates. They justifed thai course on the ground that it was ii direct and workable move toward collectivism; that it involved them in no compromise; that it was getting somewhere now; that it provided an unprecedented campaign of education that went far towaid destroying the prejudice purposely created by the master class against the very word and idea of Socialism, and they take the view that in the march of progress and evolution, if orthodoxy becomes a stumbling block, they prefer to kick orthodoxy out of the path and move on more freely to the goal. As rapidly as the orthodox or strict constructionist Socialists became convinced that the new method took strict care to exclude all politicians, big and little, from membership in the League, and from the internal machinery of the League, they came to the League's support. They favor changing the rules of their oi to keep step with unmistakable developments. Those who predict that the League, legislative and executive, will pass and sign a lot of freak legislation or will compromise on any of the legislation pledged are doomed to disappointment.

The farmers and wage workers will get just what they bargained for this time and what they get in the future will depend upon how well they continue to keep themselves organized. CO-OPERATIVE PROGRESS The English Co-operative Wholesale Society has recently been making good progress with its policy of acquiring more of the land of the country for the use of the people. The problem of land nationalization in England, always a difficult one, because of the mate conservatism of the people, i receiving valuable help from the voluntary co-operative organizations. The government, which is usually willing to follow successful experiments, will find some useful object lessons in the recent operations of the ('. W.

The receni purchases include 1,121 acres of arable land in Cheshire and acres near Goole, in Yorkshire. This land is freehold and at present produces large supplies for the use of co-operators, Sixty cottages for the workpeople are included with the farms. There is also a park of acres and a large residential mansion which will probably be used, if edents are followed, for the occupalimi of convalescent co-operators leeking complete restoration to health. Another farm, consisting of 15(i acres and adjoining thi-s Yorkshire has been purchased by the C.

"Immediately after the arrests the police lackeys of the Chamber of Commerce scurried from one cell to another, crying 'Tom has 'Killings has But this old trick failed, for not one of them knew a solitary thing ahout the crime. Then the Chamber of Commerce got hold of the press and every column of every daily paper was censored. Father York's paper, the Leader, commenting on the arrests, said on August 12: 'It is Koster and his law and order committee the police should have jailed The editor of an evening told a member of the league that his paper was thoroughly censored and that he could not present the case from the defense standpoint." BIRTH CONTROL SECRETS NOT FOR THE WORKERS Margaret Sanger is again before the courts charged with divulging the secret of birth control. In the present instance she opened an "Oral Clinic" in New York where women could get the necessary verbally, as the government forbids the printing of the information.

The propaganda that Margaret Sanger is pushing is a democratic I movement, if it is nothing else. We all know that wealthy and "socially" prominent people have the in- formation that the law bars poor peo- pie from getting. And the movement is in the direction of the equal appli- cation of those laws. The argument for the repeal of the laws prohibiting the divulging of birth control information is a very strong one. It is not the plea of the wastrel and the rounder and the roue classes have the information, and they act upon it to the limit.

It is not the appeal of the immoral woman. She has that information. Without it she would have been unable to be what she is. It is the cry of the working class man, and more especially the working class woman. Up to today the propagandists of the idea have been hounded and persecuted and imprisoned.

They have not had a chance to be heard. They have not been allowed to state their case. And it is to the credit of Margaret Sanger that she has stuck steadfastly to her cause, and has endured indignities and imprisonment, just to be able to state the case. Millions of women throughout the land are in sad need of the information. No woman through stress of circumstances or whatever extremity should be compelled, against her will or left with no alternative than to run the risk of undesired pregnancy, to bear a child.

Certainly no child should be conceived for whom there is not waiting an adequate home, a welcome and security against you at least throughout his tender years. It is within the power of women to force from present-day society these desirable guarantees, by the simple device of refusing to bear children for servitude, and so it is the profound duly of every one to convey this knowledge to all working people, by whatever means necessary. From J. W. Straatmau, Local Coulee City: "Your circular requesting our local to inform you in regard to sending out a lecturer and organizer was brought before our last meeting.

This local is willing to have lecturer come to this community and have decided on the following dates, the latter part of December and in the month of February. Of course we agree to pay the flat rate of $6." PACKARD MAZDA give three times the light at no greater cost for current. We sell them. LOWRY VINGEN 2804 Colby Aye. Everett, Wash.
