chairman of the democratic county

Mr. Strath today explain the altua
tlon In the following loiter to the East
Oregonlan: .
Pendleton. Oregon, Oct. 14
Editor East Oregonlan:
In a Portland morning daily of the
13th InHt. I noticed on the front pag
the startling headlines: FA KM CKASH
FEARED; ASKS WILSON S AID. In
your own evening IB O., same date,
front page, appeared these heudlines:
FARMERS SEEK REUE3 IN CRISIS
OF' PRICK BUOE.
The gist of the dispatches Is that the
farmers and the cotongrowars face ru
in, according to statements of a con
ference of organised farmers how be
ing held In 'Washington city, and that
they attribute their financial difficul
ties to deflation . of credit brought
about by the action.' of tho Federal
Reserve Board.
Their ulaim is that the cotton grow
ers of the South have Inst five hun
dred million dollars and that wheat
growers of the west are fucing similar
losses due to tho fall In prices of pro
ducts that were and. are .to .be produc
ed with high priced labor.
Harding's rot.lt :n Wiown
Relative to hi matter, candor re
quires that It be said that It Is most
fortunate for these farmers and co
ton growors that they do not have to
appeal to a president holding the vlewi
of Senator Harding. . Those having
Bonitor Harding's speech of aeropl
ane as published In pamphlet form
by tho Republican National Commit
tee, n ay read -on page 12 thereof
what Senator Harding has to say on
the subject of , deflation. Notice this:
. "Wa will attempt Intelligent and
courageous deflation and strike nt gov-
ernment borrowing with every energy
and facility which attend Republican
capacity."
In thla sentence Senator Harding
says that we (meanlntt himself 1. wb
try to deflate and that he will be cou
rageous about it. To be courageous
means that he will stick to his pur
pose In the face of strong opposition.
He says that his deflation will be
Intelligent. But when he Is to fee Judge
of what Is Intelligent w can only guess
what the word means to him In this
connection. His record indicates that
he would not consider It Intelligent to
use the credit of tho United Slates for
the benefit of the farmers. On April
2. m. I am advised that he opposed
the farm loan act In .the senate. ,
Wlial Mi-Adoo lll.
A few years ago during this aduiln
Ihtratlon there was a threatened short
age of money for moving tho crops.
Secretary McAdoo took one hundred
million dollars out of the federal treas
ury and sent It forth to relieve the sit- j
uatlon with tho promise that there was :
more to follow, if needed. ' j
To the farmers who are now begging
the president for relief and to those
yet to be affected by further decline of
prices, the words of Senator Harding
herein quoted may come to have a sin
ister significance after the fourth of
next March. '
Self Intercut Mr
Men and women facing bankruptcy
due to falling prices can not afford to
place party above country and eolf In
terest. They dare not Ignore the rec
ord and the bias of the jespective can
didates. For the government of the
United States and of all countries Is
an Instrument susceptible of a wide
range of action and It Is pretty sure
to serve tho particular class or classes
In control of It.
' The producers of the Went and
South can not toll when other millions
of Federal funds may be needed to
move their crops and they cannot af
ford to let the fedcrali reserve system
fall into unfriendly hands or to take
chances on losing the farm loan act
and ether friendly government inter
ventions to protect them from design
ing Shylocks.
The election of November second
looms as something Immensely bigger
than e question of whether republicans
or democrats are to enjoy the salaries
and tho emoluments of office, or as to
which side Is to exhult in the pride of
. partisan victory.
Itcspoctfully.

Governor Cox, "can only mean one
thing, that when I am elected on a

brazen conspirators in the senate to
