No man in America has told
more truth to more farmers, in
more places, at more times and
with more power than L. M.
Rhodes.
I know Mr.. Rhodes personally,
and have had opportunity to study
him at close range. He is full of
vigor and vim that comes of living
the clean life. Powerful in physical
strength, he has moral strength of
like kind. Few men could throw
him in a physical wrestle; there are
none who could break down his in
nate strength of character. He is
a type of we'll l-balanced manhood,
with strength of body and vigor of
mind, both governed by heart
that always beats strong and true
for humanity. Before a crowd he
is power. [ heard him speak to
literal acres of people and hold
their wrapt attention for nearly
two hours. His brain is veritable
encyclopedia of facts and figures.
l have never seen a man with such
memory for statistics and such
ability to marshal them in logi-
cal, convincing manner.
l consider L. M. Rhodes the
peer of any man in public life to-
day. He would take rank upon
the floor of the House as an able
friend of the great common people
of the'nation. If the voters of the
Eighth District of Tennessee are
awake to their duty they will for
get party ties and on November Z
elect to Congress Z. M. Rhodes,
a man whom God made bigger
than a mere partisan and better
than politician.

Huntingdon, Tenn.


Huntingdon, Tenn.
Dear Brother Dowdy-For many
days I have known Brother Rhodes
was exceedingly modest, inclined
to avoid rather than plunge into
the lime-light but it seems to me
that in this instance he should at
least be willing to let his friends
in Arkansas and the nation know
that the good people of his district
desire him to represent them in
Congress. The news of his NOM
ination came to me indirectly but
my interest has been so fired by it
that I can not refrain from ex-
pressing to you, his very close
friend, the interest our brethren in
Arkansas have in his candidacy.
This State is, as you are well
aware, one that belongs to the SOL
id South. The office seeker here
who secures the nomination of the
dominant party is virtually elected.
All that then remains is the shout
ing. This has been true for years
past and will be true for years to
come, but let me venture the asser-
tion that scarcely farmer could
be found in this hide bound State,
if we may term it such, who would
not vote for Rhodes if the oppor-
tunity afforded. Why would they
do this? Those who know Rhodes
need no explanation. To know the
man is reason enough for making
this statement.
The Farmers Union is the great
est force of the age in cementing
the struggling individual American
farmers into a solid phalanx of
strength and power. Legislation
is, in the process of evolution,
drifting more and more away from
the demagogue who hold party
above principle aud is shaping it.
self along business lines, where
manhood, intellectual ability and
true worth count for more than
sordid party issues. No class has
had more influence in this forward
movement than the American
farmer, and no agency has been OF
ureater assistance to him in this
lnndable effort than the Farmers
II .lion. The organization has al
ways tabooed partisan politics but
hus been untiring in it's efforts to
have it's members study political
economy, especially in the relation
&C the subject to agriculture.
Chief among the leaders OF the or
sa,,ization who have worked un-
ceasipgly in the interests OF the
people standing upon the broad
principle just mentioned. is Rhodes
