Many Farmers Thought This Way.

Indianapolis, Ind., May 26.—Alien Whicker, a Hendricks county farmer, who supported the progressive party in 1912, in a letter to Republican State Chairman Will H. Hays, again identifies himself with the republican party. Mr. Whicker writes: '

“I am one who has voted jfehe republican ticket since the organization of the party, until 1912 I voted for Roosevelt I was opposed to Mr. Taft because of his free trade tendencies with Canada. Having been a farmer and stock raiser all my life, experiences had taught me that the farmer could not stand free trade. I owe my success as a farmer to the policies of the republican party. I am thoroughly convinced that the republicans and progressives should unite, under the eagle, to fight our common enemy—The Free Trade Party.”
