This is in a corn belt county. I just wanted to show 

 you what could be done by the farmers. 



Now we have the next speaker. We had a lot said in 

 the last speech, and this convention is running just like a 

 story I heard. There was a lady in the train and she got 

 a little chilly, and she said to the conductod, ''Will you 

 help me on with my wrap?" And he said, ''Sure." As he 

 went to put the wrap on her they went around a curve and 

 she fell. He caught the lady and held her up, and said to 

 her: "If you are still cold, we will turn on more steam."
