an administration which, In the midst

forces at work to drag us into tde con-

THE DEMOCRATIC FARM LOAN
BANK ACT
(The Cincinnati Enquirer)

The more than 100000 inquiries re.
ceived by the Farm Loan Board from
persons desirous OF information as
to process OF operation of the pro.
posed banks indicates the need OF just
such system, and points out with mar.
velous distinctness the relief which
the measure will bring to agricultur-
lists throughout the United States.
This rural credit legislation will
within the next FIVE years completely
transform life upon the farms, and
millions Of owners OF the cultivated
lands of the country will experience
financial relief through Its benehcent
and helpful methods.
The good roads, the auto vehicles
the telephones, the electric light
plants, the motor boats. the suburban
and rural electric railways have made
rural life much pleasaRter than be
fore their advent. Now, with those
who employ borrowed funds able to
bNtulC OF thOiO hO0bOhhDhN
rates, and many with broad acres and
rich lands able to obtain loans unOb
tainable at any rate in the past In
many instances, or when obtalnable
then at exorbitant rates, these oondi
tions must make for vast improve
ment in the homes and the business
life of the farmers.
But 1t is not only the farmers who
will be benefited by this advanced and
progressive legislation of the Demo
cratic party.
The merchants at the crossroads
in the villages. the towns and even
the largest cities will be beneficlaries
as well as the farmers
The manufacturers of agricultural
machines, farm implements and OF
all classes of materials used upon the
farms or in farming operations will
reap great and prolonged benefits
from this wise and helpful legislation
passed by a Democratic Congress- to
further the interests Of the people OF
the United States
It Is all right for our Republican
brethren 10 say We would have passed
such measure; our Administrations
favored It, our Congress, If elected in
November, would have done this for
the farmers, but there stands before
the people Of this country t6 years oI
continued Republican Administration
10 years of Mckinley, Roosevelt ant
Taft, with Republican Houses and q
Republican Senate. ana there was nj
reform of the currency. no Federal Re
serve Bank legislation. no American
shipping bill, and not a line of legisia
Ntion giving financial relief TO the farm
y of the United States.
Me record of good intentions Il
sponged out by Republican failure Il
act in the interests OF the masses o
the American people.

Willis has failed to make good on
any Of his campaign promises. He
has killed the Warnes law and has
tried to raise taxes through his tax
commissions, until the thing became
a scandal and James Boyle, Willis
appointee, had to be made the scape-
goat and resigned. He abused Cox
for directing legislation and declared
he would never interfere with the
legislature. He kept that promise six
weeks, during which the brilliant
general assembly enacted one measure
about skunks and another regulating
the size of fish-nets. Then Willis took
hold and told the lawmakers what
to do, and generally told them wrong
