GILLAM FARMERS ARE REPUBLICAN

REPRESENTATIVE W. R. WOOD MAKES MOST H4TEREST- , ING ADDRESS. The people of Gil lam township not only showed their patriotism but also their genial hospitality in their reception of Hon. W. R. Wood, candidate for re-election as United State Representative, at an all-day Republican meeting held at Gillam church Tuesday, Oct. 12th. A 'ball game furnished the attraction of the forenoon, after which a bounteous dinner was served. A' speaker’s stand had been arranged and artistically decorated so that the meeting could be held on the church lawn. . Hon. James Guild presided ana presented W. R. Wood, the principal speaker of the meeting. Mr. Wood was at his best, presenting some facts to farmers that were very timely and convincing. He reminded the farmers that the sudden drop in corn prices was due to the importation of Argentine com that is being shipped into this country duty free in competition with corn grown in the U. S. requiring higher priced labor to produce it. Also that there are twh tax bills pending in congress, one of which provides for a uniform tax of one dollar per acre on all farm land regardless of its value. The an ad-valorem or a tax based upon the value of the . land. Both of these laws Mr. Wood is opposed to because they are class legislation and unfair to the producers of this country. He showed that while the farmer had been classed as a profiteer he had in reality received only a 57 per cent raise in prices on farm products during the war as against 150 per cent , raise on the labor and everything he had to"pur chase in order to produce his crops. He pointed out some of the evils of the League of Natrons document, showing that. its very life depends! upon armed forces that would have to be supplied by the United States. The following capdidates were present and gave short talks: G. A. Williams, Geo. H. McLain, Warren Poole and True D. Woodworth. Also County Chairman Moses Leopold spoke briefly to the voters. This was a very fine meeting and the speakers were very favorably impressed with the splendid reception* accorded them. L ~

ZELL C. SWAIN IS FOR HARDING

JOHNSONS INDIANA MANAGER MAKING STRONG FIGHT FOR NOMINEE. Hon. Zell C. Swain, of Indianapolis, who was the Indiana manager for Senator Hiram Johnson during the presidential primary campaign last spring and who did so effective work, was in Rensselaer last week in the interest of the election of Senator Warren G. Harding as president and Senator James E. Watson to succeed himself in the lipper branch of the national legislature. « Mr. Swain, Attorneys Cope J. Hanley and D. Delos Dean served in the last regular session of the Indiana legislature. Mr. Swain was the roll clerk, Mr. Hanley the Calendar cleric and Mr. Dean Journal clerk. . . Mr. Swain is anxious that every man, who supported Senator Johnson in the Republican primaries get back of Senator Harding and that they give ,to Senator Watson the i most active and loyal support. 1 If the nation is not to have fastened upon it the Wilson League which is a world contract to create and conduct endless wars at the whim and intrigue of the kings and emperors of the old world, both Harding and Watson must be electSenator Johnson and his followers are against the league because it means that California will have fastened upon it Yellow domination and that Japan to whom Wilson consented that the Shantung peninsula with its million of Chinamen and broad area should be given, would become a real menace. Already Japan has asked the League of Nations to take up Japanese question in California and that the laws of that state which deny to the' yellow race the right of citizenship be repealed. Mr. Swain urges that all Americans, who value our laws and our institutions and who want them free from European entanglement vote the republican ticket.
