Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ...when it entered the broader field of state politics, because many voters, while willing to cast their ballots for neighbors running on an "AntiMonopoly " ticket, were likely, when it was a question of unknown candidates for state offices, to return to their old party allegiance. Meanwhile similar movements were getting under way in Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, which resulted in state "Anti-Monopoly" or "Reform" parties in the general elections in the fall of 1873.

The method of getting the movement under way was about the same in the three states: the farmers and Grangers in the different counties got together during the summer in meetings " outside the gate " and nominated candidates for county and legislative offices; after which calls were issued, either by one of these local meetings, or by self-constituted leaders of the movement, for state conventions, which were held in Iowa at Des Moines, August 13, in Minnesota at Owatonna, September 2, and in Wisconsin at Milwaukee, September ber 20, p. 4, November 6, p. i, November 10, p. 5, November 19, p. 4; Prairie Farmer, XLIV., pp. 361, 363, ...
