these things. we must watch

ly for the farmer of their owr:
free will and inclination, with
never a thought of doing so in
order to keep their political
fences straight. This class
would really accomplish much
more than it does, had not the
farmer in the past been indiffer-
ent or slow to undertake to sep
arate the true friend from the
friend for revenue only.
Brethren of the Farmers Un-
ion. the main thing | want to
impress upon you as result of
this conference is that Congress
is thoroughly receptive to the
demands and rights of our organ
ization. In every session of the
conference, many of the most
influential members Of both par
ties and each house, formally,
and in unqualified language. adj
mitted the strength of this or
ganization, declaring they would
oe afraid to offer for reelection
# they had not made a sincere
effort to to procure such legisla-
ion as would justly advance the
interests of the union and agri-
cultural interests generally.
l want to say further to you
that, in the furtherance of the
campaign against gambling in
agricultural products. Parcels
Post. and other national meas
lres, a tremendously effectual
method is for you to approach
your representatives and senators
personally and by letter.
Write them at Washington,
representing the platform of the
lnion with regard to National
egislation against these and
other crying evils. and demand
,ng such action as will promote
success consistent with equity to
is and the country-at- large.
| regard our chances to obtain
'esults as most excellent. On
February 9th. we will appear
before the House Committee on
Agriculture to speak in favor of
the anti-option bills, and to urge
the enactment of such legislation

attitude plainly known to your
Congressman. The humblest
member has more in fiuence than
ne realizes in a matter of this
nature. | have had this matter
impressed upons me recently as
never before in my experience
with the organization. Congress
men respect organization; es-
pecially do they respect our or
ganization. for they have felt its
weight in their home districts.

we are rapidly attaining such ma

SENSATIONAL STORY TOLD BY
CONGRESSMAN MURDOCH
People Have Annually Paid Millions
To The Railroads.

deavored to reduce the cost of
transportating the mails, the
government ordered every sack
of mail weighed for a given
length of time. After the total
weights were sent in the sum
total should have been divided by
seven but as the law thirty years
ago said six days mail each week,
which excluded Sunday, was a
weeks mail, the total weight
was divided by six instead of
seven and this Murdoch has fig
ured out to mean a loss of $70,-
600, 900 to the people of the
United States. The people are
becoming aware of the just cause
for which the insurgents are
fighting is evident by the great
insurgency wave which is sweep
ing over the country each day
