LaFollette, in a signed article in his magazine here; today, declared the farmers “are not the sole or even the principal bene-j ficiaries of the , advances.” “All the propagandists for big busi-1 ness may gullible enough to believe that the farmer is actually walloping in luxury as a result of the temporary advance in farm prices,” he said, “but the bitter experiences of recent years have taught the American farmer something. He has the measure of politicians who are ‘friends of the, farmer’ before election and tools of monopoly while in office. “He knows that freight rates are today so burdensome and excessive that in many sections certain crops cannot be transported to market without loss.” o Formei; Decatur Man Nominated For Sheriff T.
