it happencd-or until you thought it
happened.
The thing to do is to elect a man
to Office upon his record and his
ability, instead of his knack Of jollying
you and asking after Nancy and the
kids and wading through bitches to
shake your hand. Once you get
good man in, give him fair and
square showing before you begin COM
planning. / don't mean by a fair and
square showing TO stop watching him,
but not to nail him the first little mis-
take he makes, and join the yeiping
crew at his back, if his record other
wise IS good. The trouble Is, too
often in the past, you threw stumbling
blocks in the way of your officers at
the first opportunitycand some of you
have not been slow to make the op-
portunity.
It is more difficult to fill an office in
the Farmers Union than III any other
organization. Farmers have been
ridden so often by pretended friends
until they have their doubts about al
most anybody and everybody. It is
also impossible for an official in g
farmers organiza ton not to nuke
mistakes, for most of them assume
office believing they know everything
about the farmer, get off their guard
and have thunder smashed out Of
them.
Many officials have become failures
because they honestly believed the
farmer would do everything he said
he would. Continued aWakenings
have wrecked the health OF many ala
otherwise good leader.
Do not bounce man out Of office
the minute he makes some small mis-
take that Is not of serious import to
the organization. Give him another
trial. have known any number or
good leaders to be lost to the associa-
ton, because they found they had
underestimated the man they thought
they knew, got discouraged, quiz try
ing and got out OF office.
I wish YOU would make an earnest
effort to try and distinguish between
the false and the true in the men
aspiring to leadership. I~eaiize this
is going to be hard, for the habit is
still strong to prefer some old hypo-
critic who will brag on you to the hon
est leader who will tell you some plain
truths about yourselves and your
work that you need to know,
It will be an unhill business, I know.

OF time.
But / must say that he has cut
many wonderful and amazing stunts
in the Farmers Union, all of which
we would not dare mention but one or
two. of which will help to make my
arguments plain.
In the early days of the Farmer
Union one Of our state officials had
groundless grievance against an
other State official. When the State
convention met. the brother who naQ
the grievance and who also had long
hair and long face arose. He told
Of the great sacrifice he had made,
and of the suffering OF his wife and
children who did not have the neces-
stiles OF life. He then turned himself
loose on the man he had come out
to smash charging that he was
suuandering their hard-earned money
by riding in Pullman cars and that
he had no business in Pullman car
anyhow, but ought to sit up al night
like he himself did. The speaker
raved He got red in the face. He
poured hot shot into the brother for
riding in a Pullman car. He appealed
sance. He appealed TO those in the
Dit and then to those in the gallery
FOR sympathy. The appeal had the de-
sired effect. The gallery showered the
coin down on him and the brethren
in the pit were also liberal.
Th defendant, who was and iS, one
of the biggest and best men in that
or any other State, arose and tried to
explain to the convention that 1t
would be very much better for him
to pay two dollars extra and have
good nights rest SO he could be fresh
for the next days service much better
than if he should sit up in a day coach
all nisht and nod all the next day.
But they would not rrar him. He
he no business in that Pullman, they
said, and down and out he went.
But that man had more sense, more
patriotism and more genuine love Tor
farmers than most people. He did
not cuss out farmers generally ana
quit irving to help them He went
right on doing everything he could for
them. Notwithstanding the fact that
men in the convention had insulted

T. the Officers and Members Of the
Farmers Union:
During the month Of December the
membership will elect thousands of
officers. Upon the thought and care
with which these officers are selected
will largely depend the progress, tho
maintenance and the efficiency Of the
Farmers Union during the forthcom-
ing year.
We have, at present, more efficient
and faithful officers in the Farmers
Union than at any previous time in
its history. But we have not enough
OF them yet. And I want you to
closely consider what / am going to
say, with the object OF putting in OFF,
GERS this year who will send the or
sanitation far forward on it's great
mission.
n the first place, it is well to take
warning by the great farmers or
sanitation that preceded ours-tne
Farmers Alliance. The Alliance
went to pieces, largely because of its
officers. They were elected too
quickly, without the proper analysis
and more for their handshalling ability
and their capacity for jollying than
for their qualities of leadership.
\ great many Of the Alliance oft1-
Gals were those who went IN solely
to use the order for their own pur-
pose. Pretending to be Moses 1T to
lead the farmers out of the wilderness,
they played upon their passions, ar
rayed class against class, rode into
o.sce and then left the organization
disrupted and on the rocks.
In the Alliance, as in politics and
in the Farmers Union, farmers have
voted for what they did not want, and
they usually got it. It IS time to stop
this practice. I have seen you elect
to office within the Union some Of the
most progressive, most Intelligent ana
best business men in the country, ana
again I have seen you choose some or
the biggest hypocrites and grandest
rascals.
Many Of the men you have elected
TO office in the past have thanked you
heartily for the honor, then gone on
home and forgot absolutely about
your business.
MANY times I have seen you elect
officers amid scenes Of wild enthusi-
asu the singing Of songs, the shaking
Of hands, and the pledge Of your ever
lasting support-then you would
hardly hitch the horse up at home oe-
fore. Won would begin to put the same
officers out Of commission.
Either by neglectins them. or is-
noring their orders Or believing COS
sip YOU heard about them, you nave
put out Of business the majority OF
men elected to office in this Organlza-
ton. The main reason I am hopeful
is that you>are gradually stopping the
practice, and now I am sitting up
with Won to put the brakes on still
more.
Just let some fellow, for his own
reasons intimate that there Is SOME
thing dead up the branch, ana 1mihe-

FEEBLE OLDBLLND MAN "STUCK" WITH

An old. bent and worn blind man
stood last night at the corner of
Riverside avenue and Stevens
street. He had a small bundle of
newspapers in his hand. The hour
was getting late. and the night
winds had begun to whistle chilly
around the street corners. The
blind man was cold, and somewhat
discouraged. Somehow the papers
did not seem to sell well, and he

two boys paused. They looked al

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The inter.

for Saturday at Belmont Park

and the foreign aviation officers

some sort of terms before the hour
of starting the event arrives. Av
iatOrs Leblanc ard Latham, repre-
senting France, today issued an ul-
timatum that they would not enter

morec losely with the rules govern
ing international races.
According to Leblanc and La

course must be over five kilome.
ters of level country, where there
are no houses Or trees.
The course outlined by the sup
ervising committee is over more
than mile and half, where it
would be impossible for the racer
to alight. Leblanc and Latham
say the rules provide that the
course must allow for a safe land
ing place anywhere. Leblanc and
Latham say they had planned u.s.

they feared thier machines might
