Title: Arthur B. Gilbert papers, 1909-1967.

Correspondence and subject files of a Minneapolis-based farm activist, political gadfly, and self-described agitator for legislation to help the farmer, particularly for a protective tariff on agricultural imports. Gilbert was on the staff of the National Nonpartisan League from 1917 to 1924; after becoming disillusioned with that organization (particularly as it came increasingly under the influence of labor interests), he supported Republican candidates for state and national office as being most in sympathy with farming interests. From 1928 to 1930 he was an advocate of The Minnesota Plan of Farm Relief, a legislative agenda calling for various measures to make American farm products more competitive, to encourage domestic production and to discourage agricultural imports, and to improve farmers' profits while at the same time reducing costs to consumers. Gilbert was staunchly anti-communist, and viewed Minnesota's Farmer-Labor party and its leaders with grave suspicion.
