The Cox-Roosevelt Club led by Dr A A Bellwood and officers discusses party contrasts. The piece urges Brother Ben to compare the farmers party with the Republican stance and Senator Harding’s record on farmers and special interests.
Senator Harding warns that if corporations hoard food for advance prices like farmers do, there would be an outcry nationwide. He argues wartime dynamics create calls for price discipline and warns against profiteering.
Senator Harding spoke against guarantees for the grain. He argued that raising one dollar wheat is profitable in peace and warned that farmers are buying land in Ohio at 150 dollars per acre to grow wheat profitably at one dollar per bushel.
In a wartime address, Harding defends government power to seize and run plants, notes widespread acceptance by executives, and contrasts with calls from workers for compensation. He cites Samuel Gompers accusing the Republican party of defending enemies of labor and favoring profiteers.
The speaker critiques policy by noting the paradox of legislating a minimum price for wheat at double the norm while trying to cap the price of American industrial outputs below wartime market levels. The remark highlights tension between agricultural support and industrial pricing during the period.
Senator Harding speaks on the floor, opposing passage of a farm loan bill as too socialist and unnecessary for Ohio. He warns against government intervention in agricultural credits and industrial affairs, saying Ohio does not need federal involvement similar to other states.
The piece notes a major omission in the Republican platform regarding excess campaign money. It states Republicans rejected General Wood and Governor Lowden at Chicago to avert a nationwide scandal, arguing their supporters’ money runs in primaries and conventions. It suggests capital defends itself against such criticism.
