mortals, unless. 1t be as president of the
agricultural sOciety-an organization
worthy in its objects. but whose meet
iDgs were never attended by over a score
OF farmers at one time"
An attempt to belittle the efforts of
our farmers to develope this country BY
a mutual exchange of ideas and exper-
fences, made by Mr.. Hoover's organ.
will never secure for him any support
from these people. and in justice to Mr..
Hoover we must refrain from saying that
we believe him guilty of thinking so
lightly of this Institution.
The attempted answer to the GLOBE
is no answer. but an unwilling endorse
ment of all that has been said by this
paper regarding the claims of these can
didates upon the support of the people
of this county.
1t is the same old story of monied men
being demanded in the halls of our leg
islatures.
1t is time for the working classes TO re-
alize that if they desire to be represented
they must see that they arc represented.
The stale old argument that the inter-
ests of the monied man and the laborer
are identical. because forsooth the mon
led man has at some time sough, to make
fortune by specializing in farm lands
and allowing John l.. Finley and others
of his ilk to make the fortune for him by
developing adjoining lands and conse-
quently making the spectators land valu-
able, ''fatigues our Indignation
They say the Lag regarding tax sale
certificates is wrong, not the man who
profits by it. Granted! We have cast
no reflections on Mr.. Hoover because he
invests in them; we simply ask the vot-
ers to determine who is most likely to
apply the remedy, he who makes it source
of profit, or he who must protect him
self against it:
Let us quote from Mr.. Hoover's plat
form regarding the law he favors in re-
lation to redemptions from sales under
foreclosures, and see if there is a nigger
in the pile of COW chips:
''REDEMPTION.
81 am in favor of law that will allow
two years after judgment of foreclosure
on lands in which to redeem. to extend
to all persons who occupy their homes
or lands, or who have. though absent.
not wilfully abandoned them.''
| What does it mean? 1t means that a
man who is compelled to leave this Sec
ton of country for short time in order
to make living. us many have. is cut
out of this equity of redemption unless
what? Unless he brings suit to compel
the granting of the right to redeem. and
then proves that he has not been '.wilful-
ly ABSENT Smooth legislation that.
But again: No provisions there that
the land. once redeemed. will never be
subject to the lien of that judgment
again! What does that mean? Your
land bought in for Il mere song under
foreclosure sale, then redeemed by you
if you are sucker enough to do it, and
then? Why levied on again. and sold
under the old judgment, and this con-
tinued as long as redemption suckers can
be obtained! This is legislation in the
interest of the farmer. OF the laborer!.
Of the man who is loaded with debit!
Why some men might even imagine that
the man whose fertile brain conceived
that law was interested in Il loan COM
pany somewhere, and that he did not
lose sight of his cOmpany's interests,
either. 1t is to prevent this terrible
waste and loss occasioned by the sacrifice
of our property in a country where no
one can buy it, that we demand Mr.. Fin
ley's law. Mr.. HoOver's law remedies
nothing, but leaves us in Il worse cOndi-
ton than we now are. Let the voters
wake up to realization of the fact that
the Times reply is Il weak and bold faced
attempt to gull the people into the belief
that Mr.. Hoover really favors what the
farmer candidate has convinced him the
people of the county want. That it is a
despairing cry for support for man who
has the respect of our people. but whose
interests. so far as legislation is concern
ed. are necessarily opposed to that of the
people at large.
