John w. Bricker of Ohio, candidate
for the Republican presidential
nomination, told Republican rally
last night, 1--WE should remove agri-
cultural legislation from the field
of social reform. take it out of poll
tics and operate it for the benefit
Of agriculture"
eve must recognize that the
farmers price and parity problems
are traceable to numerous causes
and they cannot be cured with agri-
culture alone" he said in an ad-
dress at a meeting sponsored by the
Republican Lincoln Club Of Wichita.
Their solution will not come
until agriculture and industry are
considered as a whole. Parity must
work both ways. Government must
share the responsibility for having
created some of the conditions which
have worked to the disparagement
of agriculture and it must share
the responsibility for creating an
atmosphere of trust, cooperation
and mutual understanding among
farmers, industrialists, wage earners
and consumers.
I'VE must recapture the spirit OF
private enterprise if we are to
survive after the war is won."
Gov. Bricker was introduced by
Gov. Andrew Schoeppel of Kansas.

BY the same token Mr.. Willkie

lead the Republican party only to
defeat because last week Mr. Willkie
said any candidate indorsed by the

whelmingly defeated"

the peace" because it has lost its
quality of self-reliance" under the
Roosevelt administration which
solved problems by taking more
and more power at each successive
STEP" Mr.. Willkie declared he Is
convinced that "the present admin
istration doesn't understand, does
not know how, has played too much
politics with different groups, and
doesn't have the capacity to solve
the postwar problems"
Therefore, he said, "it is desper-
