Ricketts, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Ricketts: I am very glad indeed to say that not only did you vote right in voting to recommit the tariff bill, so that the farmers might be free from the burdensome charge on potash and for the removal of an unwarranted on dyes, but you were consistently the farmers' good friend. In the packer regulation, the grain trade regulation, the working capital for farm loan banks, the revival of the War Finance Board, the surtax measure, highways, co-operative mar, keting, filled milk, and other measlures your votes reflected the farmers' best interests, which at the same time were in line with our national welfare.

You have truly shown that your heart is in the right place and your record shows you have worked to the: end. Very truly yours, American Farm Bureau Federation By Gray Silver, Washington Representative. political adv. 1t ONLY STANDING ROOM AT THE STADIUM NOW. Washington, D.

It is 49 per cent urban and 51 per cent rural and is the home of especially strong Prohibition Organizations 1 hence the opposing forces feel that what Ohio says about Prohibition in November will carry unusual significance throughout the nation. They are correct in their reasoning for the approval of this Amendment would affect the Dry Cause throughout the country. It would mean the first great break in National Prohibition. To affect the passage of this Amendment men, money and the manager of the wet campaign are being brought into the state If the Prohibition Forces of the state on the other hand are victorious, one of the most stragetic moves of the wet forces will have been defeated and an unusually important victory won for Prohibition. VOTE NO on the Amendment to modify Prohibition.
