REASONABLE CONCLUSIONS 



he trudged the roads of his state — the idea 

 that has now, after all these eventful months, 

 become so powerful a factor there — should 

 spread across the continent, we should as- 

 suredly see greater and more astonishing 

 changes in our political methods than our 

 forerunners ever dreamed of, and from these 

 records the reader can easily estimate what 

 evolutionary results might follow in the na- 

 tion's economic and industrial life. 



However this may show in the sequel, the 

 fair, and I believe the sure, deduction from 

 this record of a remarkable struggle is that it 

 is part of the long conflict men have waged 

 through every generation against the injus- 

 tice that poisons mortal existence. And next, 

 that it has set a new mark in that struggle. 

 The Nonpartisan League may go to pieces 

 next year or it may become a permanent feat- 

 ure in our political system; I do not know. 

 But I do most earnestly believe that the mark 

 it has set will never be removed.
