I never liked to see the hog game in
politix or anywhere else. 1t looks to
us outsiders like it was nothin' else for
Austin to hog both senator and repre-
sentative. 1t used to be considered in
Johnnie Aliens day that senator went
to Austin and representative alwus
outside. It's comm pretty near time
for the farmers of this county to hav a
leetle chance in the legislator. When
Mower county is written up it's alwus
the agricultural interests that are put
to the front but when it comes to max
ing laws the farmer can't even catch
on to the tail. 1t amt righteous
There ought to be leetle common de-
cency in dividin' up so that the rest of
the county and all parts of the county
should hav show but it don't seem to
be so now. It's mainly OWN to the
sloppy primary election by which the
farmers are skinned out every time by
the cities and villages. l hope to see
a good farmer elected representative
