The piece attacks Dan and Ed Moen as symbolic absent landlords, arguing they threaten the American farm home, country school, and farmer independence more than modern problems. It contrasts a dirt farmer image with Hanford MacNider, suggests campaign stakes hinge on farmer identity, and criticizes personal slurs between supporters.
