this that | am prompted to address you
For years farmers have Justly com
planned of being required to pull at the
short end of the yoke because OF unfair
and unjust Determinations in legislation
and transportation, and at the present
time the farmers are charged with being
the cause of the high cost of living when
as a matter of fact, taken collectively
the amount invested in their business. the
hours devoted to hard labor and every
thing connected with the details OF agri-
cultural lfe--they are, as a whole, the
poorest paid class of people in this coun
try while relatively the most important
During all recent years farmers have
been told what a great blessing has been
theirs through the so called protective
tariff and yet to find market for their
principal crops they have had to compete
in the markets of the world where the
price Is fixed But suddenly II is discov
cred that the farmer Is the sole cause for
the high cost of living, and what hap

total disregard for the interests of the

FARMERS SHOULD

Of tho United States and at the Same

The reasons why those engaged in
agricultural pursuits should support

Obadiah Gardner Of Maine In an ad

Senator Gardner is practical farm

he Is probably in closer touch and sym

vironments than any other man in pub

For twenty-five years Senator Gard

the national grange. and for ten years
he was the master OF the state grange
of Maine. A few years ago he came
within close margin Of being elected
governor of the Pine Tree State.

died, Governor Plaisted honored MIR.
Gardner and recognized the agricul
tural interests Of the country by ap
pointing him to the United States sen
ate, where he has made most credit
able record. devoting particular atten
tion to the welfare Of the great rural
population of the country. He Is now
a candidate for reelection and will un-
doubtedly be successful.
In his address Senator Gardner says:
To the Farmers Of the United States,
Greeting:
Being one of you and for the greater
part of my life having been engaged in
the practical everyday duties Of my own
farm having been for twenty five years
past officially at work through boards of
