That may explain why the governor wants the farmers" to know how thoughtfully he spoke of them in the address at the state livestock rally at 10 a. m. March 20. But the farmers will look for more than kind and thoughtful words. They will ask, "What have you done?" The man who gets the farmers' support for president in 1920 will have to answer that question satisfactorily. _ THE "DANGER" OF BUREAUCRACY VERY opponent of government ownership of public utilities E and of other forms of monopoly has much to say of the danger of bureaucracy. By this they mean that under public ownership the ofiicers and employes of the utility or industry will form a solid political unit which will dominate the rest of government and the people generally. Every so often a railroad senator, for instance, struggles to his feet in the United States senate and solemnly warns the people against the danger of putting the railroads into politics. But can any one imagine a so-called bureaucracy stronger in its power to dominate the people than the present Standard Oil group, the packing trust, the railroad magnates, or the overlords of What Other Papers Say of Farmer Laws Newspapers and Magazines From All Parts of the Nation Show Interest in N.

Book Description
In 1915, western farmers mounted one of the most significant challenges to party politics America has seen: the Nonpartisan League, which sought to empower citizens and restrain corporate influence. Before its collapse in the 1920s, the League counted over 250,000 paying members, spread to thirteen states and two Canadian provinces, controlled North Dakota’s state government, and birthed new farmer-labor alliances. Yet today it is all but forgotten, neglected even by scholars. Michael J. Lansing aims to change that. Insurgent Democracy offers a new look at the Nonpartisan League and a new way to understand its rise and fall in the United States and Canada. Lansing argues that, rather than a spasm of populist rage that inevitably burned itself out, the story of the League is in fact an instructive example of how popular movements can create lasting change. Depicting the League as a transnational response to economic inequity, Lansing not only resurrects its story of citizen activism, but also allows us to see its potential to inform contemporary movements.
