said: "Your present congressman
voted for the sugar control act Of
1887, which protects the owners of
large plantations In Cuba and the
Philippines and the sugar barons
Of New York. He helped to make
this act the law Of the land. Now
that election day Is drawing near
and the farmers Of the valley are
calling him to account for his ac-
lions, which were either purposely
intended to protect other interests
than our farmers, or were COM
mitted In ignorance Of the purpose
Of this law, he is exceedingly wor-
ried.
"He Is wiring the Agricultural Die
tator frantically beseeching him to
disregard q law of the land, which
the congressman himself helped to
enact. He wants Wallace to dis
regard the law at least until after
election day, so that he won't lose
all the farmers votes. As election
draws nearer his wires to Washing

and more frequent"
