. Senator Thos. p. Gore of Oklahoma
will be the leading speaker at the big
Federated Farmers convention to be
held. in Bismarck and Fargo. Senator
Gore is chairmansOf the United States
senate committee on agriculture. Dur.
ing the past Two years he. consistently
fought for a high wheat price to- the
farmers, this price to be mained by
governmental authority. Senator Gore
made most tellingrN speacles in the
senate in advocating higher wheat
prices, and to him more than to any
other man wheat farmers owe the fex-
ira measure of prosperity due the
high price established by the govern
ment. a:sa j r
Senator Gore has always been cham
piOn of farmers interests. His official
position at the head of such an i'm
portsnt committee gives him unusual
prominence at this time, although ne
has been nationwide figure in pu1-
Tic ligc for many years. He is known
as t"The Blind Senator from Okla
homa." His affliction has in no way
impaired his forensic ability, but
seems rather to augment it as the
senator grows more of fOrceful and
convincing orator each year. The sub
ject of his address at the Bismarck
will be "The oWrlds Stu.
alton on Wheat"
We May Have Outdoor Meet.
So great has been the general de.
mand to hear Senator Gore that aj
special outdoor mass meeting may
have to be held to accommodate the
crowd. This meeting will be open to
the general public. No admission will
be charged. '...-.
Seven other speakers, each with a
national reputation, are to be featured
at the convention. Foremost among
them in acquaintance among north.
west farmers is DR.. w.. J. Spllman,
who for many years was faculty d.
rector at the Washington State col
lege, Pullman. For many years DR..
Spillman led in the instructing OF
farmers of the Inland Empire who
were turning from one.crop methods
to diversified farming. His work at
tracted so much attention that he was !
drafted to the federal service in the
bureau Of agriculture, where he later
became director of the division Of
Il arm management. While in this po'
sition he became involved in con-
Lroversy with Secretary Of Agricul-
.urc Houston over a question OF juris-
