Wnen the Executive Committee of
the Republican National Committee
meets here February 27, the program
which will be considered looks to the
maintalnence OF an active headuuar-
ters for the G. o. P. in Washington,
with a view to preparing for the con-
gressional elections in 1894. One of
the matters which Is likely to be de-
termined Is the appointment of a di-
rector OF Republican publicity. Sena-
TOR George H. Moses of New Hamp-
snlre, who retireS from the Senate
on March 4, Is the choice Of q number
of the Republicans for this post. The
New Hampshire Senator. it is reported,
before him, some of them proposals
to write for newspapers and magazines.
However, 1t Is believed In some quarters
that he may be prevailed upon to take
over the post of directing Republican
publicity IF he does. Republican pub
hcity may take on a lot of added spice.
Years ago, James E. Watson of Indi-
ana represented a congressional dis
trict In the House. Half dozen terms
he served before hiatus of or 10
years in his public service and at the
close of which he entered the Senate
in 1915. Some Of the Republican
sharpshooters are urging Senator Wat
son, who was defeated for reelection
last November, to 60 back to his old
district and seek nomination and the
election to the House again q year
from next Fall. Jim" Watson has
still big following in his district and
the Republicans insist that the political
pendulum will have swung so far back
by that time he would be winning
candidate. Other members of the
Upper House. having been defeated,
have come back to public life by enter

the following statement supporting the strike call issued
the Farmers Holiday meeting in Des MOines May A.
nationwide strike of farmers for cost of pro-
ducton has been declared by national conference of
farmers in Des MONIES, Iowa, today. This comes as
result OF years of ruinOus prices for farm products
of wholesale evictiOns and foreclosures of mpover
shed farmers and of countless ineffective farm re-
lief measures from state and national governments
By declaring this strike the farmers of America an
nounce that they themselves are gong after new
deal" and that they propose to get it through the
massed power that lies in their hands
''The Farmers National Committee for Action en-
dorses and supports this strike because it is mass
movement of the stricken farm population against Big
Business and financial mddlemen. In conducting this
strike we recommend that the strike demands be
broadened to include ga decent standard of living"
We believe that the striking farmers should not stop
at Fishing" as method of winning their demands
which has been recommended by the National Holt
day leaders. During the of the strike, which
is set for May 49, the farm population must not plan
to withhold food from the cities but must first make
definite coalition with the great of city
plOyed and employed workers and hospital organiza-
tons We must unite with the city workers in di-
rectng attack against that class of Big Business
and financial middlemen which exploits us both.

After three years of operations
the Federal Farm Board has
closed out its sterilization opera
tions with a loss of over $780,

From May 1880, when operation
started, to March 1888, the Farm
Board acquired a total of nearly
billion bushels of wheat. The
Spectators were the only ones
who received any benefit from
this, the farmers having lost mil
lions thru these operations.
