quiry on the coordination of rail, water
and motor transportation, with adequate
| facilities for receiving, handling and
marketing goods; the encouragement of
| our export trade; an end to unnecessary
price fixing and ill-considered efforts
| arbitrarily to reduce prices Of farm
| products, which invariably results to
the disadvantage of the producer and
! consumer, and the encouragement of the
production and Importation Of fertilizing
material and of it's extensive use.
THE Federal Farm Loan act should be
so administered as to facilitate the ac-
QUESTION of farm land by those desiring
| to become owners and proprietors and
thus minimize the evils of farm ten
antry, and to furnish such long time
credits as farmers may need to finance
adequately their larger and long time
| production operations" <t-.
| We denOunce socialism and radicalism
| in every form, recognizing agriculture
as the basic industry Of the world and
the chief business of the people of this
district; the necessity for increased pro-
duction; the lessening Of rural popula-
ton; the increasing of urban popula-
| toin; the tendency to break down the
morale of our people by the ever increas-
| ing vicious propaganda for more pay for
less services; the widespread efforts
which are being made to set up pro-
grams of protests, captious criticism and
obStruc tion, we hereby speak out that
an anxious people may hear, our entire
disapproval of all such demands, issues
and protests and here declare that there
| is no substitute for work; that there is
no substitute for the truth; that the
work of this district, Of this state, and
of the nation cannot be done if either
| the hours of toll are to be further
| shortened or the accomplishment limit
atoms of our people fixed by Jules or
| laws.
| Everyone must go to work and pro-
duce either in service to the public or
| in some other way, at least as much as
| he consumes and give to the country the
| full advantage coming from the full and
| untrammelled exercise of all of the
faculties God has given him. Every
man, woman and child in America re-
CARELESS of class should and will have
| a square deal and an equal opportunity
before the law to be, as he should be-,
the architect of his own fortune and
the master of his own destiny.
And we are not unmindful of the
viciously determined effort which has
been made and is being made to ally
conservative farmers with the radicals
of the industrial world and with those
parlor BolSheViStS who are curse and
a blight wherever found. We set our
purposes reSolutely against any and all
such efforts and emphatically and with
full knowledge Of the facts deny all
claims that the farmer is a radical, a
socialist or an obstructionist The
farmer is our staunchest, straight
thinking and honeSt-voting citizen, and
we are met here today to advise the
nation that the people of this district
never have, do not now, and never will
wear the collar of A. G.. ToWnley be-
in TO
gress the man who accepts his mandates
or breaches his gospel of protest and dis
SenSion.
And we do hereby highly resolve that
| the candidate agreed upon at this con-
vention shall have the unselfish vigor-
Gus support of the republicans of this
district in the campaign ahead of us
and hereby advise the state and the
nation that ours will be the only Re
publican candidate for Congress in this
district and that no man campaigning
as socialist is entitled to receive the
vote of men and women who believe in
the principles of the great part to
which we belong
We pledge our active support to the
| splendid men nominated for state Offices
| in the recent primary election and take
this occasion to declare that the follow
| ing candidates merit our confidence and
| esteem and will have the votes of the
Republicans of this district: -.
| Hon. J. A. 0. Preus, Candidate for
| Governor
Hon. Lewis L. Collins, Candidate for
Lieutenant Governor.
