Judge Kenyon and the eFarm
Bloc"

Former Senator Kenyon, now q
United States Judge, during the
brief period of private citizenship en-
.joyea between his resignation as SEN
ator and taking the oath of office as a
Federal Judge, made an address be-
fore the students of the University of
Missouri. Among other public ques-
lions discussed in this address was
the "Farm Bloc" Judge Kenyon,
while in the senate, was the recogniz-
ed champion of the farmers and the
leoder Of a body OF senators who be-
aieved that the quickest way to I'M
prove economic conditions in this
country was to restore prosperity
among the farmers. To do this an or
~eanization was formed consisting OF
both Democrats and Republicans and
this organization was called the
stFarm Bloc" by those whose interests
were closely associated with big
Business"
In connection with the remarks
made on this subject by Judge Ken
yon, we quote the Iowa Homestead
as follows:
"eWe were not explained Senator
Kenyon, seeking an undue advant-
age over any business, but we did
hope to see the great agricultural in
terests of the country receive a
square deal. As soon as it was known
that our meeting had been held, there
went up a hue and cry against the
fran bloc, so-called in derision. Now,
there had been a Wall street bloc, a
Standard Oil bloc and other blocs,
none of which alarmed the interests
which saw in the agricultural bloc
something highly dangerous
"Senator Kenyon, in defending the
agricultural bloc, called attention to
the insidious influence of the social
bloc. IF we had joined this bloc, in
stead Of organizing g farm bloc, If
we had put on dress suits and gone
out and attended dinners, the enc
mics of the farm bloc would have
hailed us as among the Nations
greatest statesmen, men wise and
safe.'
Before completing his references
TO the farm bloc, Senator Kenyon re-
viewed at some length the various
measures which have been passed
largely through the influence of the
bloc, or which are now pending. He
told of how the bill providing for the
appointment of a representative of
agriculture on the Federal Reserve
Board had passed the Senate. 4 wish
you would help get it out of the
house, he said. There are 100000
900 farmer folk in the United States.
1t IS right and proper, tnen, NAT q
representative of agriculture should
have e place on the Federal Reserve
Board" (.
The EARN Bloc" is proving a
thorn in the side of the big Eastern
interests who are not accustomed to
having their monopoly of "Blocc" in
Congress disturbed. Eastern papers
depending upon Wall Street interests
for their support are already suggest
ing the defeat of Congressman who
are favoring the farmers. They will
be we'll organized, but it is doubtful
that they will find the farmers, and
those interested in the welfare of
those engaged in the agricultural and
livestock industry, either asleep or
unorganized. Those who oppose CIV
ing the farmers of the country fair
and necessary legislation can be out
voted ten to one.-Farm and Ranch.
