Don't forget, Mr.. Farmer, that
through your Farmers National Con-
gress, National Grange, National Farm
ers' Union, American Society of Equity
and similar organizations you have for
years demanded and have importuned
Republican administrations for legisla-
ton you needed.
What did you get?
Through all the years since 1864 the
Republican party was deaf and blind
to the farmers financial needs, this In
the face of the fact that successful sys-
TENS Of rural credits were in operation
throughout Europe for century. When
this great Democratic measure was put
to a vote in the senate on May 4, 1916
only five Republicans dared vote
against i'll Three of them were on the
subcommittee who wrote the Repub-
lican platform of 1916.
Was it because you were not Big In
terests? You were, many of you, high.
ly financed, and High Finance held the
mortgage, and to that extent you be-
lonsed to High Finance. But you paid
big interest to associate with Big In
terests. A stack of wheat wasn't as
good collateral as a shear of scraps of
paper held by stock gambler. Nor
did the Political Bosses of the Repub-
lican party care to give you financial
justice. They were too busy protect.

sympathetic understanding of the needs
Of every honest American interest
HAVE BEEN KEPT!
The Republican party refused to do
these things, which the prosperity OF
the American farmer required.
The Republican presidential candi-
date, Charles e. Hughes, denounces the
Democratic party and President VII
son for having done these things.
