Senator Humphrey said he
did.
Senator Gotten went on to
ask why the Democrats should
wait until January to help the
poor farmer and just how
much of a majority they want

there should be at least one
Republican Senator, so that
Democrats could blame him for
everything?
Senator Humphrey pondered
for a second, then rejoined,

Senator Humphrey. Demo-
crat of Minnesota, has worked
out a formula for defending
nominees against charges of
inconsistency that should be
of incalculable value to all
parties in the course of the
campaign.
Senator Humphrey did not
have it as his prime purpose
to defend the farm votes of
Senator Kennedy. Democrat Of
Massachusetts,. when he rose up
in the Senate yesterday.
He was attacking Vice PreSi-
dent Nixon for saying he had
started turning his back on
Agriculture Secretary Benson
in 1855. which is the year, of
course, that Senator Kennedy
saw the light on firm farm price
supports.
But the Republicans began
to attack Senator Humphrey
for his own previous attacks on
Senator Kennedy's farm record,
So Senator Humphrey, a very
flexible man except on parity,
worked out on the spot a work.
able rule.
Two Approaches
When the nominee of your
party is charged with chang
ing his mind, ascribe it to a
kind of religious conversion.
When attacking the nominee
of the other party for the same
fault. call it political expedi-
ency.
Senator Humphrey had in
hand a rich harvest of clip
pings to prove his point that
Vice President Nixon is, as he
said, stuck" with Mr.. Benson.
! He recalled, for instance, the
Vice Presidents 1858 prediction
that "history's verdict would be
that Mr.. Benson has been one
| of the best Secretaries of Ag-
riculture in history"
Senator Heating, Republican
Iof New York, gleefully waved
ia counter clipping of May 9,
1860, when Senator Humphrey
was battling Senator Kennedy
in West Virginia. He (Sena-
tor Kennedy has voted against
the peoples interests in such
issues as agriculture :"

"Is this of less Importance
than the statement which the
Vice President might have made
on the subject?" he demanded
to know. The chamber re-
sounded with cackling and
Growing entirely suitable for a
discussion of barnyard matters.
The Senator from Minnesota
was not abaShed. 1t was, he
pointed out. a statement he
had made in primary which
he had lost.
Il should say for the great
Senator from Massachusetts,
that when he found that some
of the votes he had cast were
wrong that he had the courage
of his convictions to change
course and to follow a new
course and do it with vigor,
vitality. courage and conSisten-
cy. He did not wait around until
the last day and then find out
he could not repudiate one of
his best friends"
Senator Humphrey went on
to point out that the presiding
officer of the Senate was alb
sent. And moreover. he quoted
Lady Macbeth to give his ver-
sion of Mr.. Nixon's attitude
toward Mr.. Benson: "'Out,
damned spot-but the spot is
still there"

one word was mentioned of any

interest Vote
For Kennedy

Editor of the Farmville Herald
and Farm Friends:
My reasons for not voting for
Vice President Nixon are:
His Farm Plan is a continual
sliding scale plan which has re.
duced most of our farm produce
from 40 per cent to so per cent
this has stopped the farmers from
buying the things that are es.
sential to modern farming. The
effect Of this Farm Program has
stopped the outlet of our steel
products to the farmer, who are
the largest users of steel. This
has also cut the mines, railroads
and manufacturers of farm ma.
chinery. One-half of all the
tractor and farming implement
plants have closed and the other
one-half are working only a halt
Of their usual force. If we want
another depression, all we will
have to do is to vote for Nixon
The reason I am voting for
Senator Kennedy is that he has
promised to bring farm produce
back to parity. which is the only
fair way to deal with the farmer.
He has promised to reduce pro-
duction to meet the demands OF
the market, which l think is good
business.
It is costing the Government
$1,000. 900 a day for storage also,
the value Of stored produce is
depreciating at the rate Of an
estimated 81. 900. 900 a day. If the
present Administration has not
figured out a plan to correct this
mismanagement, I don't feel it is
good business to trust them any
longer.
I believe the Social Security is
the place to take care of medical
aid for the aged. Under the So
cial Security system the en-
ployee will be taxed so much and
the employer will be taxed the
same. This puts the burden of
expense where it belongs. Under
this plan the employer will only
pay one-haf of the expense, but
Vice President Nixon's
plan. the employer will have to
pay it all, and this will make
paupers out of our old people
who need medical aid. This is
belittleing to the dignity of old
age.
I believe in free enterprise and
the individual management Of
business, but I also believe that
we have to have rules governing
what is fair play. l believe that
the farmer should be organized,
and all the farmers should work
together to get the things done
that will be to the best advant-
age Of the farmer, so that we
can balance our Economy.
