REMEMBER HIM
Editor National Leader: As Christmas draws near let us not forget that he who fought our fight and faced the hell-hounds of high finance and big business since the spring of 1915, when that band of farmers were told to "go home and slop their hogs," will spend his Christmas behind the bars of the county jail at Jackson, Minn. Let us make it the Merriest Christmas he has ever known and show our appreciation of his loyal and efficient service by sending him a Christmas present, every mother's son of us. If it is only a bag of peanuts.
