winch will best serve your inter.
ests pest, both as a citizen and as a
farmer?
Let us look at it for a from
a purely farm standpoint.
Your experience of the past eight
years n especially during the past
four years, tells you what you NAV
fairly expect from a Democratic adj
ministration.
Your industry, the greatest in the
nation, was singled out as a target
for a price fixing policy which has
limited the prices of the things YOU
had to sell, while leaving you exposed
to h eXactiOn of proiteers in practi.
cally every other line of production.
distribution and speculation. You
have been told what you could receive
for your products, either directly or
indirectly. You have been subjected
to restraints as to shipping and all
sorts of eXactions and
But there has been no limit placed
upon what others might charge you
for the things you had to buy. Just
think OF the unscruplous prices you
have had to pay for certain articles.
Remember that both Mr.. McCandless
and Mr.. Kumalae are members of this
party.
The result of this unwise. un-
sympathetic policy, while discouraging
and harmful to the farm producer, did
not help the consumer. On the con-
trary it made conditions worse for
him, because it tended to curtail pro-
duction and at the same time has
stimulated speculation and profiteer-
ing. o must remember that the
prices you pay for the things you have
to buy are still sky-high in proportion
to the things You have to sell. But
since the Republicans took hold of
the administration the tide is turning
for the better-but this change is
gradual and normally assuming shape.
The Republican party is not a class
or sectional party, it's policies are in
tended to upbuild the entire nation.
But it believes that it is essential to
the welfare of all our people that the
farmer, whose industry is the very
foundation of III national prosperity,
should have his fair share OF the
wealth Trhinh hie loLAo on1 zz4.-
creates. 1t believes that if our agri-
culture is to be maintained the farm
er must have an absolutely square
deal. And how could the rest live
without the farmers? The Republican
party, therefore, by it's platform and
by the utterances of its candidates, is
pledged to a thoroughly sympathetic,
practical, helpful attitude toward agri-
culture. 1t promises a well thought
out, constructive program which will
help make farming more profitable
and therefore make our farms more
productive.
Let us see which of these three can
didates measures best to our agricul-
tural requirements and who is best
suited to serve our cause.
Mr.. McCandless who is a capitalist
and a rich landlord lives in a city
where he has spent most of his life
in the Tenant business.
Mr.. Kumalae is another city man
who devotes most of his time manu-
featuring the musical ukulele.
Harry A. Baldwin is a real farmer.
He was born on a farm and has lived
all his life on a farm where he is
following that science as a means of
his living. He has spent millions to
improve his farms and the quality of
his products in order that he may bet
ter assist this Territory to supply its
people with more and better food.
Mr.. Baldwin has always been an ad-
vocate of better farming and a
staunch supporter of the farmers
course. He is striving to overcome
the unforeseen obstacles which are in
the very way of the farmers path by
trying out every mean of modern
agriculture-by trying out new things
and which by his success means our
prosperity. The homesteaders are
burdened with taxation which makes
homesteading a real hard nut to crack
and very Improbable. And Mr..
Baldwin has signifed his willingness
to urge the modification of certain
homestead laws which will elevate the
homesteader-and which will tend to
assist him financially. And naturally
a farmer is the farmers best friend,
the man who will sympathize with
you in your farm misfortunes and the
mar who is ever willing to uphold you
for a square farm deal.
Which of these three men is best
fitted to serve your interests?
| am, your farmer friend,
M. A. IDEAS, JR.
