The first editorial, under the heading, 'Wi they An

Since it appears the Republicans are to make their cam
paign largely opposition to the Adamson BILL few questions
pertinent They should be answered by both Mr. Hughes
and by those Republican candidates for congress who follow his
lead.
Will Mr. Hughes urge and the Republican Congressman
vote for the repeal of the Adamson law they Con

If they So and that repeal again brings the threat of

The second of these interesting utterances entitled
''Waowng in Prosperity and contains these statements
Except when the actual figures of what is in

Is it to be Mr. Hughes policy to repeal the Adamson law
Shall then defeat those Republican Congressman who voted

steps to bring the two securities parity
The farm loan bonds will have the farms America behind

The unexpected decision of the Farm Loan Board bring
