SURELY the good Lord of the
Harvest is this year smiling up
on the just. And the just are
the democrats and populists OF
Kansas. The strength of the
republican party in Kansas is in
the cities and towns, and the
colored vote. The strength of
the democrats and populists of
Kansas is on the farms-those
sturdy, independent free tillers
of the soil who, being too busy
on the farms to mix with the
fixers and manipulators, do
their own thinking upon the
problems OF the day, and decide
between. right and wrong with
out the aid of heelers or maneu-
vering spellbinders. In the cities
where the republicans are strong
est, all the little schemes, all the
buying of votes and making of
promises are done-which ac-
counts for the voting strength
of that party. While the boun-
teous crops are a greater benefit
to the farmer than anyone else,
the aotsam and jetsam of the
cities receive benefits also. What
has always been a puzzle to us
is, why the business men OF the
towns and cities do not see that
it is to their interest to vote
with the farmers? True, more OF
them are doing SO each year
and more will this year than
formerly. Legislation that will
benefit the farming interests OF
Kansas will benefit most mer-
camille and professional inter
ests; and certainly the Kansas
farmers are. capable of knowing
what is for their good, because
they reason things out for them
selves. and are not influenced, as
are the town voters, by the
schemes Of self-seeking politi
clans. Then, as before stated
the Lord is with the farmer, anG
we all ought to be on the Lords
side.
