the farmer than now.
The Illinois Farmers Progressive
! Conference has indorsed La Toilette
and Wheeler and I am writing to the
farmers of America. ore as the
spokesman or mOuthpiece Of this
rapidly rising power Of organized
farmers, than as an Individual, in
showing why the farmer has more
to eair from La Toilette as President
than from Coolidge or Davis.
The first fundamental fact to con.
slider is this: The farmer as a class
is being preyed upon by a great au-
tocratic money power which is in
the effort to reduce him to peasantry.
and its chief method is 10 use poll
tics.
There exists an a|utocratic prof

on conquering and controlling all
fields Of profitable industry. And
agriculture is yielding more rapidly
to it's conquests than any other be
cause il IS not organized for defense.
Somewhat as M%anchuria has been
occupied and IS dominated by Japan.
so has the farming industry Of the
United States already been seized
upon and occupied and is being domi.

Must Make Companions

This man whom the farmers can
elect to the presidency is to be stud.
led and judged not by the criterion
Of perfection, but rather by the far
more modest standard Of virtues de.
plotted in the characters and records
Of John w. Davis and Calvin Cool
idge.
Which is the greatest statesmen OF
the three? Which of the three rec
ords reveals greatest concern for
the rights OF men? Which of those
three men can be reasonably ex-
pected to do most for the farmers
interests if elected President?
These are pertinent uestions.
The American voter is seldom
given a chance to vote for any can
didate altogether satisfactory to
him. In the majority Of elections 1t
is merely a matter of choosing the
lesser Ct two evils. This campaign
of 1924 is unique in this, that prac-
tically all progressives recognize La
Toilette as their common cham
pion and leader
And it is within the power Of the
farmers and their wives in the
doubtful States to elect La Toilette
as the next President of the United
States.
This position of advantage and
of unusual power for the farmer is
due to the peculiarities of the pres
ent political situation. This fact and
this situation are so important that
it is but necessary for the farmers
to realize their full significance to
make the hope a reality.
Votes for La Toilette will not
be wasted votes. They will be the
most effective votes ever cast.

It was this that was uppermost
in the mind Of La Toilette when he
wrote. as the dominating plank in
his platform: ITO break the com

system over the political and eco.

We farmers know from experience
that financial sharks are adept in
playing a game by means of which
the players squeeze immense profits
out of the farmers losses; that the
loot, in fact, runs into the billions
Of dollars. And we know further
more that they could not play this
game without playing politics. In
deed it is part of the political game
as played by them.
And we know furthermore that the
only remedy in the hands Of the
farmer and of the people Is to play
the game Of politics in opposition to
these financial sharks.
This year farmers have ar oppor-
tunity to play this game on an equal
basis with the bosses. La Follette's
candidacy offers a chance Of a gene
ration.

"ORDERS"FROMT THE GENERAL

" Veterans Bureau, demands that criticism of the bureau
cease.
Speaking before the members of the American Legion as
Sembled at st. Paul, General Hines said 1.-THE Veterans Bureau
has been cleaned up, but it cannot take another step forward
unless public confidence is preserved"
In view of the exposures of last year, when it was shown
that the administration of the bureau was honeycombed with
graft, dishonesty and utter incapacity, it is too much to expect
the public now to assume that all wrongs have been righted.
As yet no man has been punished for the crimes brought
to light last year. Many of the men who were shown to be at
least incompetent are still at their old jobs.
Even one of the members of the Senate committee which
Investigated the bureau, and a Republican at that, recently de-
manded that Hines take steps to weed out the "Forbes gang
in the bureau.
General Hines is hitching the cart ahead of his horse. Pub
lie confidence in his work will follow naturally upon his making
a success of his work.
