NEEDS OF FARMER
Capper and Henry Wallace Dis
cuss Matter With Harding.
Kansas Senator Says Cox Allied
With South and Bosses.

Marion, o., July 26.-The needs of
western farmers were talked over with
Senator Harding Sunday by Senator
Capper of Kansas and Henry Wallace
of Des Moines, Ia, both editors of
farm publications. Senator Capper in
a statement afterwards declared the
farmers of the west were fast reaIfz-
ing why it is necessary that the Re-
publican ticket be elected"
To put the Democrats back into
power, the Kansas senator said, would
be to turn the government over to
the solid south and the Democratic
machines of the various Tammanyized
states of the NORTH
Arriving at the Harding home, early
in the day, Senator Capper accom-
panied Senator and Mrs. Harding to
services at the Methodist church and
remained their guest until evening. He
declared he was well pleased with the
stand on farm reforms taken by the
Republican nominee in his speech of
acceptance.
Senator Capper's statement blamed
the Democratic administration for
market inequalities favorable to the
cotton and sugar Industries, and de-
cIared Governor Cox's nomination for
president by the Democrats placed the
party under a joint obligation to
southern interests and to the bosses
of the north. Governor Cox" he
said, lin the eight years he has domi-
mated Democratic politics in Ohio. has
built a machine based on the Tam
many model"

statement continued, I'VE have seen

southern statesmen were all for rigid
ly controlling and limiting the price
on wheat that compelled the farmers
to take far less than they would have
got in an uncontrolled market. Cot
ton went to dizzying prices.
More recently we have seen the
same thing in the case of sugar. I
know no more complete demonstra-
ton of Democracy's administrative in
competency than in the story of
sugar this year.
People are paying up to thirty
cents for sugar. and can't get it at
that. Yet there is sugar enough in
the country for all. It is held by spec
ulators in order to boost the price.
THE northern and western farmers
have borne the burden of restrictions.
while the cotton and sugar raisers of
the south. and the spectators. have
got away with the profits beyond cal
culation.,

BROKE FAITH WITH G. 0. P.
Mrs. l.. D. Monroe Makes Charge in
Resignlng as Woman's Party Head.

ANNSiSA az ~ OAAAeAI , y
Declaring that the National wo-
mans party has broken faith with the
Republicans. Mrs. Lila Day Monroe.
prominent Kansas suffrage leader, has
resigned as chairman ror Kansas. In
a letter to Miss Alice Paul. national
chairman, she asserts that the Demo-
Gratis are the avowed enemies of wo-
man suffrage, yet the national party
is leaning toward the Bourbon stand
ard.
The National woman's party. Mrs.
Monroe asserts, is working for the de-
feat of the Republican party primarily
and the advancement of suffrage sec
ondarily. She points out that twenty
nine Republican legislatures have rati-
fled the suffrage amendment. while
only six Democratic states have done
so.
TT ought to be apparent to you"
wilfully maIign the Republican party
and Republican candidates you do two
things First you prove your ingrati-
tude. Second, you intrench the Demo-
Gratis IN their antagonism to suffrage.
THE Republican party is the main
stay Of our government and always
has been. To the Republican party
we shall be indebted for our return
to national sanity, return to a genu-
inely Republican form of government,
as opposed to Wilsonian autocracy."
Mrs. Monroe first telegraphed her
resignation when the Woman's party
decided 10 picket the Republican ma
tional convention. 1t was refused.

misleading" she wrote Miss Paul
that one must wonder if they are pre-
