' Above all the din and clamor of

delegates representing the great
agricultural states for a pint form

who produce bread and' butter that
the nation may eat.

the coming1 campaign admittedly

In this situation pending the
breakdown of the TVicAdoo-Fmith

more and more to a consideration
of what candidates can satisfy this
need. .
