would get from Senator Harding.
''Do the cattle raisers want the
change desired by the packers, SO that
the Kenyon Kendrick bill will be
killed, leaving the cattlemen to obtain
whatever prices the Big Five elect to
give? All Of Senator Harding's politi-
cal associates are opposed to that bill.
'Do they desire a change back to
normally relative to legislation? Will
johnson. Borah. Norris and the other
progressives in and out of Congress
deny they are hoping to prevent Pen
rose from writing the next tariff billi
'Do they want a change that will
mean success to the program of reac-
tionary politicians, including Senator

rect primaries and thus eliminating the
troublesome instructed delegation
when the old guard leaders assemble al
2:11 a. IN. for their quadrennial con
ference to pick the presidential nominee

'Do the farmers want change to q
federal administration headed by Sen

wheat could be raised at a profit for
81 a bushel?
DO the farmers want a change Il
the type of political control tina
brought about the agrarian revolt il

change that would mean control OF gov
ernment by mon led by Lodge and Pen

Nations? During that portion Of tn
last seven years in which there was
Democratic Congress more humani

was enacted than during the whole his
tory of preceding Republican CongresseS
and more Of it will be added to tn
statutes when the women will have re
