Jan. 27. I. N. 8. Plain warning that tha American farm ers Intend to dabble In politics on an Intensive- scale was openly conveyed to tha country today by delegates attend ing tha National Agricultural confer ence. The farmer has no Intention of or ganizing a large third major party, but ba does opine that he will make his vote felt. - His attitude, according' to the farmer delegates. Is due largely to the failure to remedy his condition and the belief that the panacea for his ins is stilt far In the shrouded future. Not all the delegates here are satis fled that the conference will make the farming Industry more remunerative and attractive. Claim has been publicly made that the ' real "dirt farmer" has not had a chance to make his needs known. 'These are the men responsible for the warning (riven. They promise that the farmer vote will "clean house" In con gress and that the electoral vote of the man behind the plow will be felt in every legislative hall In the country. The limited few who have so largely controlled the policies of both ' major parties . for the benefit of special in. terests have much to fear from t fie up rising of the people being led by the farmers." declared Herbert Myrick, of Springfield. Mass., editor of a farm Journal and a leading figure In the farm paper bloc. This bloc grew out of the agricultural conference and claims to represent six million farmers.
