"Every farm leader knows that agriculture is no more ’one industry” than ’Industry’ is one industry. Its dilemma is identical and the solution of its problem can easily be accomplished as a whole. 'Abandoned farms of the northeast’ were merely forerunners of abandoned farms of the niiddlewest. With a continuation of the present agricultural policy— a policy which refuses to recognize the reversal of world trade balances, and the lack of need for surplus agricultural production to bring back the gold from the Old World to pay our interest obligations of the past— there can be no real farm relief. "Let not the candidate be deceived into thinking that what the American farmers wants Is a return to prewar conditions. Farmers want to be brought up to date, given an equal opportunity, and to have a farm dollar equal in value to the dollar of every other group in the United States that has received the beneflclent protection of the government through legislative enactments.

Not satisfied with the
platform he indorses and which has been repudiated by every reputable thinking farm h ader, the candidate [of the Republican party endeavors to amplify this platform by offering a panacea for farmers' ills by adding vague and meaningless words to lure the votes. If the candidate were holiest in his pledges his words might be taken at their face value, but after almost eight years in the cabinets of fwo Republican Presidents, where he fias sat idly by witnessing and aiding the)frt the rape of the farmer, It Is folly for him fo come forth with a flare of)
hensive understanding of the entire
problem.
"With these facts in mind I am divorcing myself from the Republican party, disgusted with its lack of honor in the repudiation of its solemn pledges to the American farmer, and I am aligning myself wlih the Democratic party, with faith in its leader, risen from the ranks of the plain people, whose every pledge has'been fai'h fnfly kept, and who has evinced such clear understanding of the girafest problem confronting the American nation as to convince me of his ability and his willingness to bring about safe, sound, economic faun relief,”
