Harding Stands for Square Deal for
Farmer


Marion, Ohio, Sept. "a square
deal for the American farmer will be
zone big practical step against the
high cost of living" Senator Warren
G. Harding declared, speaking to re-
representatives. of national farm organ
izations here today.
The Republican candidate laid
down his broad program for agricul-
ture, which he will expand in his
Minnesota state fair speech next
week.
Harding favors:
Presence of the farmer in both adj
ministrative and representative gov
eminent Office
Extension of the farm loan princi-
pie, not only to those who buy farms
but to those who wish to buy land.
Restoration of a more normal sup
ply of farm labor.
Cooperative buying, selling and
distribution of farm products.
Products of American soil to be
protected against those from coun-
tries with lower standards of living
Harding said he deplored political
appeals to special or class interests
and put forward this program only
with grim belief that it is for the
benefit of every consumer and the ma
ton as whole.
ga nation lives no longer than her
agricultural health abides," he warn
ed, declaring the farmer has been
smothered for eight years.
Deploring appeals to class interest
Harding incidentally warned against
'undue meddling" in affairs of other
nations which may in a future cleo
ton result in hyphenated vote which
may be delivered to that candidate
who is most supine in. face of UNI
American pressure"
'sThe day of land hunger has
come, he declared. '3The day when
we see before us the spectacle of the
land owning farmer being displaced
by capitalistic speculation land and
the soil exhausting farmer has come. s"
s'I do not contemplate the organiza-
ton of the farmers and consumers
of this country as a step toward or
ganization of special interests to OBJ
tain special favors. If did, would
oppose it, Harding declared.

American Royal Live Stock Show

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 22.-At no
time in the economic history of the
country, unless it was during the
war period, has beef played such
prominent part in the discussions of
bankers, farmers, merchants and the
public in general. Not until war and
drouths and adverse conditions af-
fected the beef cattle supply did the
nation walk up to the fact that we
might have to get along on less than
one-third of the beef we have been in
the habit of eating.
With these conditions prevailing,
and with general alarm prompting the
nations biggest bankers and thinkers
future of the beef supply of the coun-
try, the American Royal Live Stock
Show, which is to be held at Kansas
City and the Stock Yards, Nov. 18th
to goth this year, takes on additional
Importance. Here will be seen the
three leading breeds of beef cattle
Angus, Hereford and Shorthorn. In
addition to the breeding cattle of
these three classes, there will be
car-lot show presenting more than
5000 head of Hereford calves from
Texas, the kind that goes to make
beef and which is bred from sires and
dams such as will be exhibited in the
American Royal. Thus will pure bred
sires and dams and better bred calves
be contrasted at the Stock Yards at
Kansas City this fall with the scrub
cattle, and when the car-lot entries
are sold, farmers will see how much
better price well-bred stocker and
feeder calves will bring them than
scrub ones. This is the last year the
American Royal will be held in temp
orary quarters, as the new 100000
building in the Stock Yards will be
ready for occupancy for the 1921
show.

Make Hunter. Pay Federal License

The igratory Bird Act has been
held constitutional by the Supreme
Court and the federal law limiting the
number of birds that can be shot in
day or a week, establishing closed
seasons, prohibiting spring shooting,
etc, is now in full effect. But it will
remain a dead letter unless its en-
forcement is backed by an ample ap-
preparation. The slaughter of ducks
and geese and shore birds will con
tinue, their number will continue to
decrease every year unless money is
forthcoming to patrol the breeding
grounds in the North, TO establish
more bird refugees in the South and
to provide corps of federal game
wardens in every state that hasn't
sense enough to protect its resources.
A million a year will be barely enough
to start this work
By all means Congress should pro-
vide for federal hunting license with
out delay. No real sportsman will
object to the slight additional fee !;
he can not ask the overburdened gen
eral taxpayer to come through with
this money. If this fee is made a dol
lar, enough money will be -Eised to
enable the Biological Survey to pro
tect the elk of the Yellowstone ade-
quately and to do many other things
for the benefit of the vanishing game.

HARDING WILL NOT sTooP TO
INSINCERITY AND ABUSE
Candidate Feels Must
Concentrate on Construction
Patient With Opponents

Patient With Opponents
Marion, Sept. "A determination
to guard against Glamour, insincer-
ity and abuse" in his. campaign for
the presidency was expressed by Sen
ator Harding today in a talk to a
marine band which serenaded his
residence during a visit here on re-
cruiting duty. The nominee said he
felt it a duty to be tolerant of those
who differ with him and not to drag
the attention of the people ''into the
mire"
81 assume that your coming here
said Senator Harding, "is due in large
to the fact that am a candidate for
the presidency. 1t is because l feel
more deeply about it every day that 1
want to tell you, American citizens,
and through you, as many Americans
as possible-my idea of the respons-
ibiIity of a candidate for the highest
office the pepole can bestow.
81 have said to myself: You owe
it to the citizens of America to pre-
serve the attitude and the mind of
one who serves as well as he cam As
l see it, l owe it to the men and wo-
men of America to guard against all
pretense. AS see it, owe it to them
to state fully and clearly my beliefs
with all the sincerity there is in me.
GAS 1 see it, I must not as I seek
to gain votes for my party, yield to
the temptation which often comes to
men who are candidates to make false
appeals which, though they might be
successful at the moment, do not
serve truth nor meet the requirements
of our national dignity.
''As 1 see it, I must not drag the
attention of the American into a mire
when it is their whole-hearted desire
that their attention should be CEN
tered upon the problems which we all
wish to face bravely and wisely and
together. AS l see it, l must concen-
trate my attention upon construction
and not upon abuse. AS l see it,
must be patient and tolerant with
those Americans who differ with me.
GAS l see it, if l were to stoop to
insincerity, to mere clamor, to poHti-
cal expediency, to appeal to special
classes, 1 would be failing in that
purpose which 1 trust shall always be
mine not my own interest; not even
the interest of my party first, but
America first"

Service Men Should be Republicans,
Bearss Saws.


Col. Hiram 1. Bearss of Peru, who
won distinction for bravery and ex-
traordinary service in the world war,
has enlisted in the campaign to elect
Senator Harding.
''No American boy looks with favor
on the prospect of spending another
year or so in the trenches" says Col.
Bearss. "No American mother can
be for Article 10 of the league COW
enant, which would send thousands of
our boys to every corner of the world
to maintain the boundary lines of
other nations
eve do not want to shoulder the
war debt of half the world; we do not
want a one-man government. Under
Republican rule we viii have more
efficient administration of the war

tape in its management; we will have
no sectional legislation; no Bakerism
Or Creelism.
f'From my observation I am firmly
convinced that the young men of this
nation are eager to follow in the path
of such sterling Americans as Roose-
welt and Harding. 1t looks like Hard
ing will be winner this fall by a
smashing majority

MUST HOLD CROP

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 14.-Farm-
ers of the spring wheat producing
area of the northwest are to be asked
by the growers Of winter wheat to
hold their crop until it brings S2.75 a
bushel at county elevators. Plans for
this action were made yesterday at a
meeting of representative wheat
growers here from Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma and Nebraska
Decision was made to establish
headquarters in winter wheat states,
and send personal appeal to every
farmer urging him to continue to
hold his wheat. A survey will be
made to determine the amount of
wheat each farmer has on hand, how
long he can hold it, and if he is
financially pressed, urge him to sell
only enough to relieve him from en-
barrassment.
A statement was issued explaining
that the holding of wheat for So at
terminal markets will really mean
cheaper wheat to consumers in the
end for if that price is not obtained,
there will follow a great decrease in
wheat acreage and a resultant higher
price for wheat
Explaining the action of the con
ference, Maurice McAuliffe, president
of the Kansas Farmers Union, said !:
''We feel the time has come for a
showdown If we submit to the steal
in wheat, it will be made the basis of
similar steals in corn, hogs, and cat
tle."

high and holds a staff. The figure is
full of life and poise. The forehead
