AGRARlAN PARTY POWER
THE DOMINANT FACTOR IN THE
POLITICS OF GERMANY
Intent on Forcing the Government
Into n Tariff War With the United
Stntes-Old Party Lines Break
ing Under the Conditions That
Are Now I'm Evidence

BERLIN. Feb. 19.-By far the most
important event of the week. political
ly, was the annual meeting Of the
Federation of Husbandry in this city
The Conservatives, the week before, at
tempted to make an amicable bargain
with the federation. whereby they
would wage a joint campaign in the
reichstag and diet elections; but at the
convention the leaders of the fedora
ton frankly declared they would not
support any candidates who were not
pledged to support the aims of the
federation.
Herren Diedrich and Hahn. promi-
nent members of the reichstag and in
innate friends of Prince Bismarck. who
are known to be inspired from Fried
richsruhe, boldly declared that the
federation must antagonize the govern
ment at the coming elections, unless
precise promises are given to satisfy
the Agrarian demands, especially in
the direction OF excluding the con-
stantly increasing American competi-
ton in all products of the soil. which.
ii it remains unchecked. will utterly
ruin German agriculture. which is
equivalent to running the whole coun-
try"
Resolutions, supported by Herren
Hahn, Proetz, Clapper. Kanitz and
others, were adopted, to the effect that
the ASrdrlanS would only support can
didates standing upon the federation's
platform.
Within the ranks of the National
Liberals similar breaking up of par
ty lines is occurring, a number Of the
leaders declaring they will only vote
for candidates Of Agrarian tendencies
Thus the pivot of the campaign is the
question of supporting or antagonizing
Agrarianism.
AGrarinn Strength.
The whole of the Leftists, of course,
are anti-Agrarian; but they are almost
assured of the whole of the Rightists'
and many of the Centrists' support
There is visible increase in the
Agrarian strength. among the Cen
trists, although the leaders and the
Centrist press; ARE doing their best to
discourage it.. Shortly the Agrarian
problem will be paramount in all the
legislatures of the country. There is
TO doubt the Agrarians are an enor-
mously increasing factor in politics ard
they are doing; their best to hurry the
