a southern democrat. But no relief
was given the farmers, though they
urged the adoption Of a law similar
to that which is now pending before
congress. The Clayton law extended
the laws penalties to the officials Of
any concern violating the provisions
OF the law quoted, and provided elabo-
rate iniunctional procedures in courts
TO restrain the contemplated violation
Of the law, thus stopping the opera
ton of the acts Of alleged violation
by an ex-parte hearing until the
courts decide the cases on their
merits. But labor unions were spe-
cifcally and emphatically exempted
from the operation Of the provisions
OF the law. That was done at the
behest of Samuel Gompers. He is
repaying the debt in this campaign.

Why should Brookings county, one
of the best agricultural counties, not
be in this work also and help to solve
the farmers problems in a business
like way?
Such problems as the farmer get
ting cost of production plus a profit,
OF stabilizing the farmers market,
and of dispelling the prevalent idea
that the high price of farm products
is the cause of the high cost of low
ing, can only be reached from the bot
tom up. A local farm bureau organ
ization supported by active and inter
ested farmers working together with
other counties and with other states,
accomplish something.
The farm bureau is the logical or
ganization for all of us to support.
1t is non-political and non-sectarian,
and the farm bureau plan offers a
local constructive program of work
for the men, women and children. It
is the family plan and is well typified
in the boys and girls club work.

Mr.. Manchester, the republican

possibly another civil war. If elected

To hold two elections merely to
elect officers, without required pro-
posals of well defined and definite pub
