Last week's Nonpartisan Leader opposed the Equity packing plant creating embarrassment for the League which backs state owned ventures. Equity has filed for Fargo stock and built a St Paul terminal elevator, while the Leader hesitates on the elevator project. League unity is strained as stock purchases slump and equity members feel chagrined.
A Sacramento Daily Star editorial reprinted in the Courant notes the Farmers' Nonpartisan League capturing the North Dakota legislature. It promotes state owned elevators and farmer direct marketing to cut out middlemen and speculation, urging farmers nationwide to unite beyond party lines.
The Omemee Herald reports victims of alleged stockholder manipulation in Bottineau stock dealings. It notes editors' use of the term and asks for published names of confessing victims or acceptance of the critical label.
In a pointed reply the Courant accuses Matt Johnson of misrepresenting editorial positions on the North Dakota ballot. It notes the Nonpartisan League defeat of stockholders and asserts the Courant did not endorse any county candidates. The piece favors the Australian ballot form and Minnesota style democracy while challenging Johnson’s views.
A Minot Independent opinion notes paper cost rises from 2.65 to 7.00 per hundred pounds and foresees 10 per hundred by spring. It argues the administration should curb the print paper trust and relieve the public, contrasting with wage hikes for railway workers.
A local observer notes Froggs Smith shifted stance from praising Equity to attacking it while praising the Non Partisan League. The piece argues his criticisms are unnecessary and the Equity will cope with his changing support and barbed remarks.
