BrandyWlne Springs was throhgeu yes
terday with an attendance Of about 5000
people. principally farmers, attracted by
the fair. although many who DO not make
a livelihood b. thing the soil were there
to see the exhibitions, which are the best
ever shown.
In the afternoon the speech by the Hon.
n. J. Bachelor. Governor Of New Hamp-

ago st the first fair held at the Springs.
He was introduced by Past Master s. II.
Messick, OF the State Grange and in part
said:
81 assure you, It gives me great peas
ure to come here today and to assist at
the opening OF this fair. Six years ago
visited your State TO assist at the hrst
meeting Of the Grange OF this county. 1t
is unusual for a man to come from New
Hampshire for the purpose of instructing
the people of this locality. l realize,
coming as the governor. that people gem
orally think that a governor must be
more intelligent and more eloquent than
he was before his election.
"J am not ashamed Of the title Of gov
ernor, nor OF how secured It, but aFu
embarrassed talking under those circum-
stances. ] have not come here 70 usurp
the prerogative OF the governor Of this
State, nor will I pardon any Of your
friends who might be In prison nut ] come
as representative of the National
Grange TO speak on matters OF great inn
por.ance and great interest to farmers.
expect the people who are here today
are mainly from the farm and J wish TO
speak first on the great Importance of
agriculture and every movement whicn
tends to promote it.
There Is no organization like the Ma
tionai Grange. It was organized thirty
seven years ago and was opposed by
professional men, iaboring men, capital
lists and even farmers themselves. IL
has removed all the obstacles placed I'm
its path and today has accomplished
more for farmers than any organization
known. and is increasing in influence and
popular favor. The grange in my own
state has been signally successful and
has ] membership of nearly 2O.00O. 1t has
eneeted legislation and has promoted
social intercourse and educational facih-
ties in the rural districts.
we favor the election OF Senators by
the people and the Grange was the pio-
neer in the discussion Of this matter.
Today we see large numbers Of our most
progressive people favoring this PROPOSE
tlon, and when the time comes that this
will be a part OF the Constitution OF the
United States. don't forget the Grange.
We believe IN the establishment Of postal
savings funds. We believe the principle
is correct. When you make it possible
for Your children to deposit their earn
ings in the postoffce you have inculcated
a habit Of thrift which will make them
substantial citizens. We believe IL is
better for the government, because Il
makes the United States your banker
and renders It unnecessary for ghe gov
ernment to depend upon the great finan-
| cial institutions as IL does today.
Then we want improved highways
We are living today in better houses
than our fathers and grandfathers did
yet we are travelling about over the same
kind OF roads our forefathers did. Some
progress in this direction has been made
in some States. while in others it has
just begun. The Grange has taken 1t ur
and has introduced bill In Congress an,
the probability Is that 1t will become 9
law. Congress will appropriate s2I.OOOoO'
for highways and the States will be called
upon to appropriate a sum on basis Of
population"
