THE LEADER ENTERPPRISE AND PRESS, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1916.
UHAS. 5. DARRETT
RETURNG FROM WEST
North Dakota and Montana
are now with us. I have just re
turned from Bismark, North Da
kota, and Great Falls, Montana,
where the North Dakota Farm
ers’ Union was organized the
latter part of March, and the
Montana Farmers’ Union in ear
ly April.
In organizing these new state
Unions I was deeply gratified by
the splendid enthusiasm and deep
interest shown. There was a good
attendance at both meetings, but
better than hat was the evident
eagerness for the organization
and the desire to begin work
along the lines o onr co-opera
tive eiort, under state charters.
Both in North Dakota and
Montana the ground had been
well prepared by the organization
of local and county Unions, and
the breathren in both states had
a clear understanding of the
principles and purposes of our
association. We should not only
congratulate those states upon
the excellent showing they made,
but we may also congratulate
ourselves upon bringing to our
ranks two such strong, promising
and enthusiastic state organiza
tions.
The affairs of our own organi
zation are progressing favorably
wherever I went, and through it
we have reasonable hope of
achievement in improving the
conditions of the individual.
As I am writing I am planning
to go to Washington to take up
again the threads of our work
there, particularly as to rural
credits legislation. As I have be
fore told you, Congress knows
what we need and want on this
subject, and can, if it will, find
a way to give it to us. It knows
we do not want and can get little
relief from the committee bill now
pending. 1f you will just keep
strongly enough behind your
Congressman and Senators, and
let them thoroughly understand
your wishes in the matter, it will
not only be of great help to you,
but you:iwill;come much nearer
getting ruvals credits legislation
that will givé*you a chance.
The Farmers’ Union is grow
ing stronger every day, not only
in these additional-state organiza
tions, but in the growth of local
unions .ip.mpst of the states now
organized.=»®We are strong, not
only in~otirselves, but in our af
iliations "with kindred organiza
tions, and through co-operatior
with these, we are coming near
r and nearer all the time tc
vhere we shall get at least some
of the things we are entitled to.
In the meantime, every mem
her of the Union should feel tha
Hre*is an important factor and can
help. It is going to get results.
Together we may accomplish
what no man single handed could
possibly hope to do.
CHAS. S. BARRETT,
| President Farmers’ Union.
KAISER HOPES TO FIND
; WAY OUT OF CRISIS
Berlin, April 26—The Associat
ed Press learns that developments
are impending which demon
strates unmistakably the desire
of Emperor William to follow a
course which will lead Germany
and the United States out of the
present crisis. The situation is
viewed more optimistically here.
Ambassador Gerard is still
maintaining silence, following
his latest conference with Chan
o \
cellor von Bethmann-Hollweg,
but the Associated I'ress has been ‘
able to obtain information indi
cating that the outlook has im
proved.
The latest indications are that
the German reply to the Ameri
can note may not be delivered un
til next week.

Beer saloons in Atlanta that

of business and rent signs are up

Clubs of high and low degree

for the present. The clubs:that

no leg to stand on when, the law
