What do you do? You help put them there. You do it, knowing perhaps better than anybody else in the country what they are.

Does this not make you a party to their dirty work? al Poultry Week and is encouraging its observance throughout Missouri Pacific territory. The object of this movement as stated briefly by President Lewis of the National Poultry Council is to Protect and further the interests of the American hen and her billion and a quarter dollar industry. The Agricultural Development Department of the Missouri Pacific Railroad is featuring the poultry industry on its Special Dairy and Poultry Exhibit Train scheduled for an itinerary starting at Conway, JUST HEARD OF IT We talked to a farmer today who did not know Sinclair had invested $260,000 for control of the Republican party until the Congressional investigation gave out the information. We supposed everybody knew that Sinclair, Mellon, Morgan et al bought control of the Republican party during the campaign of 1920. through the regular channels.

Cost plus 8 percentum was the best that the Cyanamid Company would promise in the way of making cheap fertilizers for the farmers. The intent of the Cyanamid Company to grab off this rich prize for power purposes, under the pretext of making cheap fertilizers, was too obvious. Despite the fact that Cyana. mid Company had the backing of one of the large farm organizations, whose representative toured the country in an endeavor to sell the Cyanamid bill to the farmers, right eventually prevailed. Now, Muscle Shoals will be operated in accordance wth the contract of the government, which was made when Congress appropriated funds for the develop ment of the project to manufacture nitrates in time of war, and fertilizers for the farmers in time of peace.

Arkansas, April 4 and ending May 9, We cant understand how party pre-udice can so blind a man that he Senator, isnt it time for a showdown? Isnt it a thousand times better and more effective for the cause you have in mind, for you to raise such an amount of money for the purpose of defeating and keeping out of office these same men who make such corruption possible? Show up what Mr. Coolidge, and Mr. Mellon and all these other like-minded and like-controlled men in office do to foster and make possible the system which develops these for experiments in the manufacture of fertilizer under the direction of the Secretary of Agriculture for experiments in the manufacture of the of fertilizer under the best method to be decided upon, at full capacity. The fertilizer will be sold to farmers at the lowest possible cost. Under the supervision of the Secre.

tary of War, power will be developed at Muscle Shoals and distributed throughout the surrounding territory within transmission distance, with preference to be given municipalities, or non-prqfit organizations. Proceeds from the sale of this power will revert back to the Treasury and will be used to conduct fertilizermaking experiments throughout the country. The American Cyanamid Company and the Air Nitrates Corporation, Eastern power and fertilizer manufacturing concerns, made a futile attempt to grab off Muscle Shoals by leasing it from the government for a period of 50 years, under the pretext of making fertilizers for the farmers. The provisions of their bid were incorporated in the Willis-Madden bill. Under the provisions of their bid, however, no guarantee was incorporated that would insure the manufacture of fertilizer that could be sold to the farmers more cheaply than they are now purchasing it What happens? Yesterday another old time friend of mine, Hon.

Frank Clark, of Florida, was appointed to fill the Democratic vacancy. Personally I like Frank Clark fine; used to serve with him in the house, but hes a high protectionist. Nineteen years ago Thursday of last week we were called together by President Taft to revise the tariff. During the debate on that tariff bill the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot mill, I saw Frank Clark get on his feet, turn to the Republican side and say to them, If you will allow me to write the 'tariff schedules on phosphates, citrus fruits (and one other thing, I dont remember) just as you please and Ill vote for your bill. And thus the special privilege crowd keep on getting their own sweet way.

Wesco, poultry development agent of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, while the dairy exexhibits and demonstrations are in is unable to see a thing done so openly and so publicly. The Hard-ing-Coolidge regime has been faithful to the owner of their party. Nothing the Special Interests wanted has been denied them. Even i little war in Nicaragua has been out on for their benefit. NATIONAL EGG WEEK National Egg Week this year will be celebrated from May 1 to May 7, inclusive throughout the United States, according to a recent announcement of the National Poultry Council of America sent out by President Harry R.

Lewis of that organization. President L. W. Baldwin of the Missouri Pacific Lines is much interested in the program for Nation Senator, there are mighty few men in this whole country Id rather see President than you. Youd make a great Democratic President.

Cant you break away from that gang? Is that name Republican so necessary to you that you have to go along with these corruptionists in order to keep your office, and thus remain in a position to do effective work? I see by the papers that Alice Roosevelt Longworth gave a hundred to Senator Borahs fund. Which reminds one that her father had nerve enough to lead an independent fight which brought about the overthrow, for a time at least, of the corruptionist.

Cant you join the forces that rally around you with those forces which rally around each of these men, and have one of the three of you nominated and elected? Then there could be put into practical operation, in an administrative way, the fine things you have been advocating, and run out of office and out of every place of trust these rascals and corruptionists who have brought about our present awful condition, and whose wickedness smells to high heaven? No, lets not give any money back to Harry Sinclair.

The Senate on last Tuesday evening by a vote of 48 to 25 passed the Norris resolution providing for government operation of this sleeping power giant of the South, which has been developed at a cost of approximately $150,000,000 of the peoples money.
