TALKS ISSUES
TO FARMERS

WILLIAMS GROVE, Pa. Aug. 2e-
The struggle for daily bread is
the one overshadowing issue in the
present campaign. as it has been all
down along the ages, according to
Governor Woodrow Wilson, the DEM
ocratic candidate for the presidency
Addressing the Farmers Rally" he
assaiied the tariff here this afternoon.
The New Jersey executive emphasized
the fact that the petition for bread
came before all spiritual requests in
the Lords prayer"

consideration with everyone else in
political policy" dec AIRED Wilson,
but the trustees OF our government
have not looked upon IL So"
Wilson then derended the farmers
free list bill, passed by the Demo-
cratic House. which he said put agri-
cultural implements on the free list
because the American manufacturers
sell them cheaper abroad than at
home Taking issue with President
Taft for vetoing this bill, Wilson
said
Such changes as were contained
In the bill dc not comport with the
ideas and plans of the trustees and
the President vetoed the free list. |
dare say he was right from his point
Of view, for he represented the trus-
tees and not the people"
Wilson pleaded for better cooper
alton among the farmers to benefit
themselves; to secure long credits
on their own kind of securities and
to force changes IN the tariff system
which will bring the farmer nearer
to his natural partner and associate
the merchant"
I'VE shall be a happy people only
when we are a united people" he
said when class is not set against

lege except the privilege Of common
service"
