lend just that additional push needed
to accomplish the enactment Of help
full farm legislation so early as this
next winter" he said.
Of his own candidacy, Senator Nye
said: MY record and my aims are
sufficiently well known to make un-
necessary enumeration of them here.
Upon the record must stand and am
glad to stand as candidate for re-
election. have made mistakes and
cannot hope to avoid making more in
the future. But I shall try not to
make the same ones second time.
Il went to Washington seven years
ago and undertook my duties with
one determination, namely, that my
services should be devoted entirely to
the cause Of fair play for all the peo-
pie, and determined that fair play to
all could not exist with that third
OF our population living on American
farms left to their own destiny with
out help while our government was
responding as fully as it knew how
to other classes and other industries.
Il shall pursue like lines In the flu
ture. and with your continued encour-
agement. will hope that persistence in
the cause Of fair play will once again
give us that clean and responsive kind
of government our American fathers
intended should be ours If in this
effort shall find myself in conflict
With party and administration lead
ers. whether that leadership be Re-
publican or Democratic, 1 shall not
fear any charge of being against my
party or against the administration.
1T Is my belief that he serves his
party best who serves his country and
its people best. Political parties have
their place under our form of gov
eminent. but parties are sometimes
influenced by other than the best in
terests Of the people. When a party
is found in defense Of selfishness and
greed, and. as is sometimes true, in
defense of looters, thieves and crooked
men and crooked interests, party 10y
atty ceases to be virtue, just as
party loyalty ceases to be virtue
when party shuts it's eyes to the
of the masses of people who
after all are the ones who sustain
both government and parties
Scores Congress- Blindness
Speaking of the blindness with
which congress under big business
leadership" has proceeded to remedy
conditions, Senator Nye
said: there is no doubt but that the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
setup has responded to some common
and local needs and has been helpful
to the people. It's main response,
however, has been to the great and
greedy corporations and has not re-
and down the economic line as was
needed. If only the great sums spent
by this setup in this emergency had
been directed to the securing of fair
prices for agricultural products this
fall. We would today find the flow of
business in every establishment in the
land and we would be fast on our way
out OF this thing we call depression.
Genuine help for the American
farmer will come when America is
ready to admit that prosperity does
not come through commute bolster
ings Of the stock and bond market,
and that today, as much as ever be-
fore, America is dependent upon
a prosperous agricultural industry.
From that industry flows all genuine
wealth. A third of our population
lives upon the farms of America. An
other third, consisting of the business
and professional men and their fam
lilies in agricultural communities, are
directly dependent upon those on the
farm. It must therefore be seen that
our government in helping us out of
our economic predicament will save
both time and money If it will throw
its full energy into the restoration of
buying power for the farmer.
Great Emergency Exists
Since great emergency exists, as
great as that confronting us in time
of war, emergency measures even to
the extent of price fixing is war
ranted to accomplish this restored
buying power for our farm people"
Calling attention to the problems |
confronting the nation and world, |
Nye said
1T is not altogether pleasant to
look forward to the responsibilities |
and problems facing men in the SEN
ate in the next few years. They are |
not going to be years affording any
pleasure except as results may be |
made to flow from the effort ex-

country and its people.
I'VE are face to face with problems

From abroad will come the task of |
