fn, the here to fore neglected farmer.
The bloc Is composed Of Republicans
md Democrats-the former consider
ally in the mn aJority. While 1t l'asn't
accomplished much MS yet. 1t seems IN
n fair way to accomplish good deal
for the farmer and the Ordinary rnx-
payer.
The Interest serving senator's such
as Penrosc. Lodge and others OF that
class are agast at the audncity OF the
bloc senator's. And well they may. II
Western and Southern senators stick
together they can control Legislation In
Congress.
