PRAGER MILLER
FAVORS HARDING
FOR PRESIDENT

Especial Correspondence to The Journni)
Roswell, n. NJ, July 2S.-Prager
Miller, president of the New Mex
leo Wool Growers association. who
recently returned from the east,
declared his strong preference for
the election of Harding. believing
that a change of Washington poll
cies will bring material prosperity
in industry. will save the wool in
terests and Others from destruc-
ton. Mr.. Miller says:
IL am for Senator Warren G.
Harding for president of the Unit
ed States because as wool grower
and a producer of one of the ma
tons most essential commodities,
! know that the future prosperity
Of the citizens of this great repub-
lie depends entirely upon saner
business policy. in the administra-
ton of our national affairs in
which Senator Harding and the re-
publican leaders in Washington
are very much in sympathy.
1.-THE senator In his speech of ac-
ceptance guarantees to all Ameri-
can citizens, if he is elected, a re-
turn TO a constitutional form of
government under which the exc
cutive, legislative and judicial
branches of our government shall
resume their normal functions.
Every effort will be extended to
prevent profiteering and yet main
tain the business equilibrium of
the country. Nothing could be
more of a calamity to the country
at this time than sudden decline
in prices. We can only hope TO
decrease the cost of living by in
crensed production and economy
THE stocks of food and cloth
ing on our shelves today were put
there at high cost of production.
The raw wool now in the United
States has been produced at eX-
tremely high costs and we are now
entering into the growing of the
1921 clip with no decrease in pro-
duction costs. To sell below the
cost of production wool, wheat or
other raw products that are grown
under the most, hazardous condl-
lions battling as they do with the
elements) strikes a severe blow at
the very heart of our national life
and opens the road to dissatisfac-
ton in the minds of the people.
In all the history of the world,
am told, there is no record where
a nation has ever suffered in
ternal strife SO long as her people
were properly fed and clothed.
"A nation that is so healthy that
through the efforts of her indi-
yidual citizens she can produce
enough of the necessities of life
for her own consumption and ex-
port a surplus. is in a position to
assume the moral leadership. But
we must set our own house in
order by establishing a business
policy that will stimulate produc-
ton. With Senator Harding as
president. favoring the ratification
of the league of nations with res
ervations, protective of American
liberty of action. and making 1t
plain that the constitution of the
United States is binding on all
serving under it,. and with Cover
nor Coolidge. who has set an ex-
ample to the world for law and
order, as vice president, and both
fayoring a business policy for the
nation that will create an incentive
for the laboring men and the pro-
ducers of the nation to join hands
and brains in furthering honest
and patriotic production, we Will
have, in my judgment, the great
est prosperity we have ever ex-
perienced in our history.
