The train bearing Roosevelt's spe-

The dining car was out of provis-

90 for Chicago, $500,000 for Phila-
delphia, and ranging down to $25, ,000
for smaller cities like Atlanta, were
said by Governor Cox to have been

That Senator Harding, his Repub-
lican opponent, "was acquainted with
the details" of the quota plan and
that it was also approved by Will H.

they organize for their own protec-
ton. He showed the value of this or.
ganization as already perfected by
stating that when the railroads of
the nation some time ago applied for
increases in freight rates the farm
ers, who pay 65 per cent of the ma
tions freight bill, employed Clifford
Thorn, rate expert, to represent them
with the result that passenger and
Pullman rates were increased and
freight rates boosted only an average
of 18 per cent instead of % per cent
as asked. He said the saving would
amount to $328,0OO,O00 per year to
the farmers, or more than 81 for
every man, woman and child in the
United States. He said the organiza-
ton movement would be put under
way in Georgia in Tifton September
6, and that it is planned to enroll
100000 Georgia farmers.
