FARMERS’  UNION  REPUDIATES 
ATTACK  ON  PRESIDENT  WILSON 
* 
Eleventh  Hour  Republican  Attempt  To  Stampede  Farmers 
Into  Voting  For  the  Candidate  of  Wall  Street 
THE  FARMERS’  UNION,  THE  MOST  POWERFUL  FARMERS’ 
ORGANIZATION  IN  THE  COUNTRY,  HAS  UNQUALIFIEDLY 
REPUDIATED  THE  REPUBLICAN  ELEVENTH  HOUR  ATTACK 
ON  PRESIDENT  WILSON  AND  THE  ADAMSON  EIGHT-HOUR  LAW  ! 
copies  ot  this  pamphlet  were 
printed  and  are  being*  circulated  by  Republican  agencies.  Candidate  Hughes,  in  his  most  recent  attack  on 
the  Adamson  Eight-hour  law,  makes  statements  which  he  attributes  to  Mr.  Pope. 
Luckily  for  the  interests  of  the  farmer  and  fair  play  in  general,  this  under-hand  attempt  to  foist  fake  ut¬ 
terances  on  the  American  public  has  failed. 
The  officials  of  Mr.  Pope’s  Association  denounce  this  attempt  to  fool  the  farmer,  and  deny  responsibility.
