TATE political campaigns In the
past history Of the United States
have developed many presiden-
tial possibilities and the same
may be true this year. Men who
have shown extraordinary strength in
their home States, who have revealed
towering ability in leadership and who
have struck a popular keynote which
has resounded throughout the Nation,
have thus been thrust into the lime
light In a way which has attracted the
keen-eyed attention OF leaders in their
own party and put them In line among
the runners" at presidential conven-
tions. 1t Is certain that shortly after
the elections next November, the polit-
ical leaders In both parties will begin
to cast about seriously for the strongest
men to head their respective tickets;
and in so doing they will give careful
consideration to what has been going
on In the various States and its rela-
ton TO the national situation and is
sues The entire background Of any
winning candidate who offers promise
will be scrutinized minutely in order
to determine whether the prospect" ,"
If put into the lists as a runner, could
bring him down the home stretch q

Among the many complex questions
hich ia hn {,ote etco IL
there is none probably which presents
greater complications, not only from a
national but also from an international
standpoint, than the farm problem.
In fact, it is the international aspect
which creates most Of the difficulties
that have to be overcome, due to the
competition which this country meets
from abroad in the marketing of the
excesses Of many OF its agricultural
products mainly wheat, corn and
cotton The surpluses which the
United States cannot consume at
home and which 1t must sell
in foreign marts is responsible to a
great degree for the low prevailing
prices which are reflected In farm
incomes. The unfavorable report,
based on latest estimates by the De-
partment Of Agriculture, giving cash
income for the farmers of the Nation
this year as $500, 900, 900, compared
with $500 100000 last year and ST.
