also added to these men the EMPLOYEES

the depot men, the section men. and
all that class distributed all over this
state, which is about ten per cent.
which may be added to this sixty per
cent. which we call the farming vote
Will add to this vote the men that
live in our small towns, the carpenters
the blacksmiths, the masons, and the
clerks and help. This class is about
fifteen per cent. Of the voters of the
state. In the country we know no
difference between the men that live
upon the farms and their neighbors.
the mechanics and laboring men. We
| have upon these farms a large class of
| young men which we call hired men
They are young voters,-the substan-
tial element in the republican party of
this state. Take all the different

ent branches of the live stock business
and the husbandry of this great state.
Take all the great dairy interests of
| the state, and consider the intelligent
young men employed in the care of
these interests, taking care of the stock
upon the farms, etc. And then I want
to speak of the children on these farms
who are coming to the support of our
country school system. The farms
furnish the children for these schools
These men manage the schools. They
hire the teacher, they expend the
money for carrying on that part of the
