Government Aid TO Farmer.
IN his speech at Bennington, Colonel
Roosevelt declared that only govern
mert aid to the farmer can reduce the
high cost OF living. He said:
Both OF the old parties have con-
fined themselves to thrashing over
again the old straw. There is not one
particle Of hope for social or economic
reform contained in the triumph OF
either the democratic or republican
parties. Tach is boss-ridden and pri-
vilege-controlled Neither dares to
face the real issue Of today. Each pro-
poses sham remedies and tries to dis
tract the attention of the people from
their real needs by the empty sound
and fury with which they quarrel over
blase issues.
"The two old parties have utterly
lost touch with the facts of modern
economic life, and they serve no other
purpose than that of screens, each for
its own sinister alliance Of crooked
politicians and crooked financiers who
rule and pillage with impunity.
mo man has right to call himself
a progressive at all II he Is support
ing either Of the old parties, whether
in the nation or in the several states.
II make an especial appeal to the
farmers of Vermont. Our platform
alone Of the three platforms shows an
intelligent purpose to deal fundament-
ally with the causes that are at work
to harm American agriculture and to
diminish the full value OF life In the
