'Politics at the Fairs. Under this cap
ton the Baltimore american Star says: mo
county fair ever yet Intentionally got mixed in
with politics. The agricultural fair is designed
to be promotive of the farming industries F; to
give inspiration to the ambition ofgrowing big
and yet bigger pumpkins and more potatoes to
the hill; to advance the breeding thigh grade
mixers and quick growth porkers. But, none
the less, the agricultural show is an open door
opportunity to the political promoter. The
political campaign and the fair are entirely
different institutions" but the campaign
needs the fair in its business, and so makes use
of it without even so much as saying by your
leave
1.-The county fair organizations do not care Q
blue bean about the politics that are being
played on the side. The agricultural shows
open fair field to all parties and play no ia
vorites. good many prizes are handed out
at the end of the shows, but they are not polit.
ical plums. Doubtless the farmers who visit
the fairs to look over the livestock and the
poultry may also size up the candidates who
are on view. The county fairs may, after all,
have something to do with the political awards
distributed in November"
