LEoNoARo WOOD STATES ATTITUDE ON FARM ISSUES
Aeadino Candidate for President. in Far Reaching and Candid 0o
'arsdon, Says Decline in Agriculture Endanaers Nation.

Chicago. March LEONARD Wood. candidate for president on the
republican ticket, today gave u the most fr reaching and candle
statement of farm problems and his attitude towards the farmer than
any other candidate or president in the history of the nation has ever
announced, according to political leaders here who read the statement
when issued.
The decline n agriculture. Leonard Wood declared, is n of the
greatest dangers in u civilization. lie said the farmer has the right
to expect from every national administration the biggest srt of C o
operation and encouragement. for he makes up a third Of the popula.
ton and is the very backbone OF the nation.
"The farmer must be given a square deal" said the candidate,
land propose to see that is the case if W. it lies within my power
to do SO"
First The farmer sacrificed much during the var and W e W
him a debt of gratitude W e never ca repay for his staunch loyalty.
Second Education for farm children should be a easily acces-
sibe and o n = high a plane a $ that of city children. They should
have vocational training gin a broad consolidated school system.
Third-We must give the rural districts good roads for commerce
and adequate communication with their neighbors and the world.
Fourth There must be a department of agriculture in full and
intelligent cooperation with the farmer and the great farmer organ
izations.
Fifth There should be a far closer connection between the pro
ducers and onsumers of food. a too small a proportion of the con
sumers' COSTS gets back to the farmer.
Sixth Hoarding of food supplies must be vigorously suppressed.
Seventh Secure provision should be made by the farmers to get
adequate credit to extend farrin interests.
Eighth There should be large. supplies Of fertilizer available at
cheaper rates.
the same consideration as are other organizations under similar cir
cumstances
Tenth Farm tenancy should gradually be abolished. and the own
ership Of land by the individual farmer encouraged.
Eleventh The farm bureau system should be widely extended a.
it GEMS we'll fitted to solve many of the economic questions.
and sincere application of these principles will make the farmer con
tented, will end the rus II young people o the cities, II give her
a right to live lin their native farm districts; that it will change the
condition which now makes a farmer sell his milk for sixc cents and
buy at a restaurant at seventeen cents"

man against him seems the only sui /,
way OF heading him of" That lie;
up the situation over the nation, az
cording to the political dope Of o-e c.
the cOuntry's greatest newspa .-s.
and it conforms to the sentimen' ex-
pressed by the press north. south.
east and west. The power OF this SEN
timent lies mainly in the fact that it
is not that of politicians. but rather
the opinion OF the public. Take. for
instance, Rev. William A.. Billy Sun
day. who says the Sunday bunch are
solid for Wood" Mr.. Sunday is
mingling among all classes OF people
sever days in the week, and ne is in
a position to absorb more OF the &C
tual views OF the masses than all
the political scouts combined. In .
letter to Mr.. Wood a few days ago.
Mr.. Sunday said:
For several weeks l have been
promising myself I would write YOU
and let you know you have q booster
in me; that eve since our great loss
in the death OF e~verybody's friend that
had . drop of American blood in his
viens, Col. Roosevelt, that you were

ton for president.
II find sentiment about a. follows:
Wood 70 per cent
Harding Per cent
TAFT g cent
80 the SUNDAY bunch are solid for
Gen. Wood. Your friend.

II is this sort Of thing that reveals
the real feeling Of the public toward .

country that shows beyond question
the sentiment among the people 10 for

From . political standpoint. Senator Wills statement is OF the

man Of the highest standing who has always been considered a strong
advocate Of the nomination of the Illinois man. Senator Will is one
OF the best known e n South Dakota. He has served in the state
senate two terms from the fifteenth district and is a candidate for
reelection. In addition to being prominent politically. he is n OF
the leading farmers and catlemsn Of the state and has two large

He is : real farmer. while Lowden maintains = $500 acre sstatet in
Illinois OF which approximately 1000 acres is devoted to lawn and
the remainder 10 titled by tenants.
When he made the statement quoted above. Senator Will =
wearing ! large Iowden button. He freely admitted he had been a
Lowden supporter and that he had taken the long drive to Mitchell :
in order to hear his favorNe and be confirmed in the opinion he had
already formed. He was, however, much disappointed at the utter
failure OF the candidate o present any constructive program and his /
tendency to deal in nothing but slttering generanties and unctuous I
plattudes. Senator Will had intended to stay for the evening meet
ing. but &c great was his disgust that he drove home late in the after
noon. thoroughly convinced that Colonel Lowden would ct do Al ;
