1925. Then used his influence to
prevent passage of the bill over
his veto. This certainly put lot
of the dry land farmers in bad
shape. Anyway its effect was d.
rectly felt by farmers.
End: In his first message to the

manded changes in the admins

AS a farmer, I say fine-for we
have suffered much from this.
But did he intend that for us farm
ers? For in the special session of
1925 his department of agricuI-
ture had five bills introduced Gre
ating new forms of farmer inspec-
ton. I understand those special
taxes aimed at the farmer were
killed. He cut off the Bulletin SER
vice of the state college expert
mental station at Puyallup which
was of direct value to the farmer.
He did not provide in his 1927 bud
get an appropriation to pay the
cost of cattle killed in graduating
bovine tuberculosis. However, the
legislature did make an appro-
priation for this.
He vetoed an appropriation that
provided for control of disease in
poultry; for a pest survey by the
department of horticulture and the
establishment Of state college field
laboratories in fruit districts.
He did approve the item of $15,-
124 for fees for state capitol ar
chitects; also an item of $3.50 for
state printer, not in his budget.
He also vetoed the appropriation
to enforce the cream grading law.
Then he killed the appropriation
for re-opening the penitentiary
jute mill which eight governors
successfully operated for farmers
benefit. The state farm bureau,
meeting in Walla Walla, favored
re-opening this mill.
Former Gov. Hart favored $10,-
900 to support the farm market
ing bureau. Gov. Hartley only pro-
vided $4,000 for this in his 1927
budget. Among the army of state
employees, only one man is charg-
ed with the duty of enforcing the
pure stock feeds. But this admin
istration has eight men to inspect
the milk the farmers ship out.
One man to help, eight to ham,

from men who are supposed to be

We need a governor who is will

who obeys every law of the coun-

I have made this a public letter
so the governors friends can ex-
plain through your excellent paper
and thus give everyone chance to

What Would Roosevelt Say?

What would the late Theodore Roosevelt
Republican President, real American-say to these
enenues of Governor Smith who carrying a.
gainst him campaign of bigotry and intolerance be-
cause of his religious faith? Those who knew Theo-
dore Roosevelt know full well what he would say,
not because of the character of the man. but be-
cause of his written word.
Here is what Pres dent Roosevelt wrote to j. c.
Martin, of Dayton, Ohio, toward the close of the
presidential campaign of 1908, when William H.
Taft Unitarian who had been charged with hav7
ing Roman Catholic knsmen and Roman Catholic
sympathies, was the Republican candidate:
"Yor say that the of the voters that
are not Catholics will not support for any
office, especially for president of the United
States, who is Roman Catholic believe that
when you say this you foully SANDER your fell
low countryrnen do not for moment be-
lieve that the of fellow citizens, or
any considerable number of our fellow citizens,
can be influenced by such narrow bigotry as to
refuse to vote for any thoroughly upright and
fit because he happens to have particu-
lar religious creed. Such consideration should
never be treated a reason for either support
ing or opposing candidate for POLITICAL office"

Election OF Smith
And Hunt Urged
By Hayden

Speaking on behalf OF the DEM
.ocratic ticket and particularly
urg ng the election of Gov. Alfred
E. Smith, candidate for President,
and Gov. George w. P. Hunt,
candidate for reelection as Gov
elnor, United States Senator Carl
Hayden, junior Senator from Ani-
zona, addressed a, large audience
of voters Saturday night at the
Lyric Theater.
Those who heard the speech de-
clare it was one Of the best the
Senator ever made in this city. He
was frequently applauded, par
ticularly when he referred to Gov
erners Smith and Hunt.
The Senator touched on all the
ssues of the campaign and showed
each and every one of his hearers
the folly Of voting against Al
Smith simply because of religious
reasons. He clearly told Of Gov.
Smiths fine record as Governor
Of the great state Of New York,
and convinced his audience that
AL Smith--in the White House-
will make one of the greatest Pre-
s'dents thisN country has ever
known.
Prior to his address Saturday
night, brief speeches were made
by X. Berry Peterson of Tucson,
candidate for Attorney General,
and M. A. Murphy of Phoenix,
candidate for Tax Commissioner.
Senator Hayden, in a statement
to representative of the Nogales

Ovati0nS.
He PROMISES IMMEDIATE
AND REAL FARM RELIEF

Starting at Omaha, where IL
brilliant speech he made master
ly analysis of the farm question:
Governor Smiths swing through
the West on his first speaking trip
of the campaign was one continued
triumphal progress.
At Omaha he lined himself
squarely side by side with the
farmer, pledgipg himself to get the
farmer square deal. At Okla
homa City, two days later. with
the applause and thanks OF the
farmers still rising on all sides. he
turned with CHARACTERISTIC vigor
and courage TO the issue OF re-
ligious tolerance.
At Denver he attacked the con-
nections with the water power

planned conyincingly his own con-
structive program with regard to
swater power. Republican eorrup-
ton, so sensationally revealed In
the oil scandal Investigations. he
assailed In his address at the Mon.
tana State Fair at Helena.
Although-comment on Governor
Smiths farm speech AT Omaha
has particularly emphasized the
warmth and friendship shown by
the Democratic candidate for the
farmers and his determination to
give them the kind of help they
want, sight has not been lost OF the
mastery grasp which he dts
played of the farm problem.
Going directly to the heart OF
the farm question. he said tine
trouble is that the farmer is buy
ing In nighly protective market
and he IS elling in an unprotected
one. Everything that is used IN
the operation of his farm except
what he himself produces, is md
behind the tariff wall. 1t Is sup
posed to function for him but does
not"
The Surplus
"a great. many of the crops OF
Athis country the farmer grows In
excess of the needs of the domes.
tice market. That is the niger in
the woodpile.' That is what you
have got to pay your attention to-
because as it stands today, the
farmer is compelled to offer 1t in
Nogales international., 1928-10-16

the domestic market first. and the
surplus tends to pull down the
price that he receives for the whole
crop"
Referring to broken Republican
campaign promises OF 1924. Cover.
nor Smith continued, What did
they mean by equality between
agriculture and industries? They
meant to give the farmer the ,bene
ft of the tariff; they know. they
have not done it. The President
knows it. Candidate Hoover knows
it,"
Governor Smith then proceeded
to show that Herbert Hoover, the
Republican candidate. has abso
luteIy ignored this vital and funda
mental part of the farm problem.
Mr.. Hoover is against the McNary-
Haugen bill, was largely RESPONSE
BILE for President Coolidge's two
yetoes of that measure, and the
only suggestion he has ever made
for solving the surplus problem Is
tos starve enough farmers into
bankruptcy SO that there will no
longer be any surplus.
Pointing out the harsh cruelty Of
such a. policy, which would mean
that millions of farmers would
lose their. homes and be driven
into the cities to find work, Gov
ernor Smith pledged himself to a
constructive and humane method
of saving the farmer from the un
fair and ruinous operation OF the
tariff.
He said: "As | read the McNary.
Haugen bill, its fundamental pur
pose Is to establish an effective con
troll OF the sale of -exportab-e sur
plus, with the cost imposed upon
; the commodity benefited. For that
principle the Democratic platform
, sQuarely stands. and for. that prin
ciple squarely stand. Mr.. Hoover
, stands" sQuarely opposed to this
principle by which the farmer could
get the benefit of the tariff.
'Here is a clear cut issue, which
the farmers and voters of this coun
try must decide. / pledge to the
farmers and people of the country
that no stone will be left unturned
TO give immediate and adequate
farm relief by legislation. carrying
into practice this principle for
which my party and / stand"
Whispering Campaign s
At Oklahoma City, pointing to his
| long record in New York public affairs
and his four terms as Governor of the
state, he denounced the secret and un-
| derhand campaign being waged by
| the Republicans to arouse opposition
to him on the grounds of his religion.
There Is no greater mockery in the
| world today" said Governor Smith,
''than the burning of the cross, the
emblem OF Christ, and at the same
time breathing hatred.

( Is any citizen in this country who be-
