THE dumping of wheat into the

PRICES ACTUALLY LOWER EVEN
THAN THE AMERICAN FARMER
CAN PRODUCE 1T, is something we
are determined to stop by election of
a republican administration, which
will protect the farmer by tariff that
will prevent such practices
The statement is attributed to Tom
Thompson, described as ''Un,atiIla

statement appeared on page seven Of
the Oregonian Of October 16.
On page 10 of the same paper,
which is the market page. Under the

are these words:
Winnipeg, October rs. Wheat

"Chicago, October 15 Wheat OPEN
