The article in the constitution of the Order
of Patrons of Husbandry which prohibits the
Changers from admitting political issues into
their proceedings is creating a great deal o.
dissatisfaction among the farmers The con
vention of Wisconsin Changers held in Wa
ter'own last week adopted an ingenious way
of getting around this difficulty. The con
vention declared itself in full accord with the
movement of the farmers against monopolies,
but repudated the idea o. using the machin.
cry ofthe orde, icr political purposes. AT the
same time it exhored all IFS member. to con.
meet themselves Individually with farmers
clubs and associotions where they could en-
ter into politics with all their might and main.
And the Changers seem disposed to follow
this sdvice which applies as well to other
