behalf. You get some splendid, common-sense farmer to be- 

 come a candidate for the Legislature, and then they raise the 

 howl that he is a "hayseed;" he is a "back number." And 

 some young upstart from town defeats him for the ofTice. As 

 most important legislation should be enacted by our next Legis- 

 lature affecting the rights of farmers, there ought to be a com- 

 mittee sent to the Legislature to urge that body to appoint a 

 committee to investigate the matters at Kansas City I have 

 spoken about. I know I have told you the truth. There 

 ought also to be national legislation along these lines, for a law 

 passed by one state would not sufTice where the markets are 

 located in several states. 



The farmers have a great work before them. They will be 

 left in the strenuous rush in the age in which we live if they do 

 not organize and protect themselves. You owe it to yourselves, 

 to your families and to your country to organize and co-operate.
