'It is apparent that the exigencies
of partisan politics have pressed
Secretary ef Agriculture Wallace to
reverse and stultify himself in the
statement he issued on September 4,
charging the last Democratic ad
ministration with responsibility for
the deflation of agricultural prices
and the consequent distress among
American farmers. Mr. Wallace's lat
est explanation of the farmers' bank
ruptcy and poverty during the near
ly, four years of the Harding-Coolidge
regime at least adds variety te his
contributions on the subject It is the
fourth or fifth version of the farm
ers' sad plight he has offered since
18ZU
"The true cause of the present and
recent condition of agriculture is to
be found in the deliberate policy of
deflation pursued by Republicans
theaueives. The written record of
their culpability will be cited. It be
gins with the resolution adopted by
the .Republican 66th Congress. This
resolution was offered by Senator
McCormick Republican, of Illinois.
Here it is: j
'Resolved. that tha federal re
serve board -be directed to advise the
senate what steps it propoaee to take
er to recommend to the member
banks of the federal reserve'- system
to meet the existing inflation in cur
rency and credit and the consequent
high prices, and what further steps
it propose to take or recommend to
mobilise credits in order to move the
1919 crops.'
. This resolution was not merely the
undertaking of Senator McCormick
am an individual Republican. It waa
part and parcel of the policy ef his
party. The Republican platform of
1920t.adopted more than a year after
the passage of Senator MoCormick's
resolution, contained - this declara
tion: , "W pledge ourselves to aa earnest
and eonaistent attack a pea the high
eost of living by rigorous avoidance
of farther , inflation in our govern
ment borrowing and by courageous
and Intelligent def elation of our over

practically put the Democrats out the
race in the far West.
Therefore, good political strategy
for the Democrats at this time, is to
encourage the third party where it
has a chance to defeat the Republi
cans and where the Democrats have
no chance. There are two good rea
sons for this strategy: Democrats
have been able to work with the La
Follette progressives in all internal
tax legislation and the tariff and
there is small chance that the La
Follette party can capture the Presi
dency in the November election.
Accordingly, it is the policy of the
Democrats to ignore all attacks made
upon the party by Senators Wheeler
and La Follette. Mr. Davis in none
of his speeches so far has made any
direct allusion to the third party and

Dawson went on record as opposed
a joint discussion with the republi
cans by Angus Wilton McLean or
any other democrat.
The republicans cannot discuss
their own party record, and there
fore would be forced to an effort to
obstruct an honest and open con-1
sideration of "matters involved," he 1
set forth, adding that the democrat- 1
ic party record can be better pre
sented to the people when the speak-;
er is "ten rree irore participation in
humorous and trivial subjects."
A Mr. McLean made the accept
ance of the debate challenge of Cot.

ent, subject to approval by the demo
cratic executive committee, Mr. Daw

of that proposal or any other chal
