My fellow citizens and friends:

We look after the little things AM
let the big things go.
Why not elect a farmer represent
atlve. to congress this fall?
Why not send man to Washing
ton who will look after the interest.
OF the farmer the same as big bust
ness has it's interests looked after?
There are 295 lawyers in congress
and only six actual farmers.
FARMERS NEEDED IN CONGRESS
LII we farmers ever expect a square
deal We must have our own repre-
sentatives in congress to look afte,
our needs.

NO POLITICS IN THE WAR
will work above all things to win
the war. [ believe the Democrat pol
iticians are all wrong when they
claim it will take a Democrat con-
gress to win the war.
President Wilson has had to ask
his own party to defeat large num-
Der of Democrat congressman be-
cause they would not help him in the
war. 4nL
-Four Republican congressman have
recently resigned to join the army.
Four Democrat congressman have
recently resigned to take high sal
AIRED public jobs. Chairman Dent of
the Military Affairs Committee, Floor
Leader Kitchin, chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee, and
other prominent Democrat leaders in
congress have opposed major war
measures proposed by the president,
while Republican leaders stood by
the president. These are matters of
actual record.
t4UPLE FOOLED BY POLITICIANS
Two years ago the Democrat COM
mittee fooled the people by shouting
'He kept US out of war" They knew
we were bound to be in the war very
shortly and that we should have been
in it three years before, but they
wanted to win a partisan election
first.
They knew that preparation for
war was demanded by common
sense. It would have saved the lives
Of thousands of American boys. 1t
would have prevented the collapse Of
Russia and shortened the war by two
years or more. Now, these same
Democrats say "Vote the Democrat
ticket to prove your patriotism
IL it takes Democrat congress to
win the war, why doesn't it take
Democrat soldiers and Democrat
shipbuilders and Democrat munition
factories? I say it takes Americans
to win this war, and I claim to be a
better American than the people who
said, "He kept us out of war;"
TWO SONS IN FRANCE
I have two boys driving battle air
ships on the firing line in France.
No cheap politician denied them the
right to serve because they are Re-
publicans, and no politician can make
me believe I have to become a Demo
.crat to be patriotic.
SAME MEDICINE FOR EVERY
BODY.
But what you want to know, my
fellow farmers, is what / will do if
You send me to Washington. Here
are some of the things I will vote for
and fight for if you send me there:
A law fixing the price of what the
farmer has to buy, the same as on
what he has to sell.
A law to control all monoplies of
food supplies, like our meat packing
combine.
A law fixing the price of wheat
substitutes, cotton, binder twine and
implements, so that everybody else
must take the same medicine the
farmer does, or the abandonment of
all price fixing.
1t is a well known fact that con-
gress, now under the control of the
Democrats, largely Southerners, has
not fixed the price of wheat substf-
