Falling Prices ON Farm
Products; Had Hard Day

With his speech to a small but very
appreciative audience, Ex-Governor
Frank r. Gooding, Republican candi-
date for United States senator, closed
one of the most strenuous days of his
campaign at the opera house i'm this
city tonight Mr.. GOoding spoke at
Nezperce Wednesday night, driving
by auto. to that place with Mark Means
one of the Republicans of Lewiston.
Driving from Nezperce to Winchester
this forenoon, the management of the
Craig Mountain Lumber company clos
ed down the mills and gave the ex-
governor an opportunity to address
the mill workers and resulted in one
Of his best meetings Mr.. Gooding
was then driven to Cottonwood and
addressed another meeting, arriving
here ON the evening train.
At Grangeville Governor Gooding
made the statement that since the
assassination of Governor Steunenberg
the socialists, /. w. WIS and the red
radicals of the state had always been
ready to place poison in his cup, and
that the leaders of the nonpartisan
league were leaving no stone unturned
to knife him ON every occasion in an
attempt to prejudice the farmers and
lab0rers against him. Through his in
duence while governor of the state
much legislation was placed ON the
statutes of Idaho tending to bring
labor and capital into closer relation
ship and the anti-pass law was one of
his creatures.
He has resided in Idaho since. 1889
and has spent the greater part of his
life ON the farm and in the interests
OF the farmers and stockmen, and If
elected to the United States senate will
spend his time battling for better con
ditions for this class of producers"
Flayed Present Administration.
Attacking the league of nations,
pledging himself to work for a revision
OF the tariff to protect Idaho farm
ers and Idaho livestock men, and laud-
ing Warren G. Harding as man
1 worthy to lead the greatest political
party the world has ever known, he
assailed the present Democratic ad-
ministratiOn. He made u deep impress
| sion upon his hearers.
Idaho Needs Protection.
Upon the tariff question, Mr.. Good
/
| present drop in farm products and
livestock, Instability of markets. he
| charged directly to the Democratic
| administration through refusal to pro.
tect America against the influx OF
foreign goods. He predicted econo-
>a~lcr il this condition is not
| remedied and appealed to his hearers
to support the Republican party which

There never has been time in the
i history Of this government when the
| Democratic party has passd free
Trade measure that II has not brought
ruin and disaster to the country, and
! am not making an exception of the
present measure, known as the Under
wood and Simmons Bill passed by
this administration"
The Democratic party takes the po-
sition that everything the farmer has Is
raw material and that all raw material
should be on the free list. The Dem
ctratic party has given protection to
The manufacturing industries OF
america with the exception of farm
ing machinery and barbed wire
these they have put on the free list

TO give. them cheaper farm machinery
and barbed wire. This is am Insult

farmer for the inventive genius on
The American farm has given the
world its improved farming machin-
cry. We have never used any foreign
made farm machinery or barbed wire
and putting it in the free list has moi

The Republican party believes that
the fat steer, the wheat and the oats
and everything the farmer grows are
Just as much finished products as the
products of the mill-all require la
Dorsto produce and all should be treat
ed alike. As / see the future OF
america, there is going to be great
struggle between the producers anf
the consumers; there is alreadN q
demand in the large cities for cheapel
food products. and unless the farmay,
or the country send men to Washing
ton who understand the importa No,
OF protection to the agricultural an,
livestock interests, there is grave dan
ger that this country will become ,
tree trade country as far as farm
products and livestock are concerned
