Healoy of Woodstock, secretary of the state board of agri- culture and former master of the state grange, who wes one of the callers at the =ald that the semiiment ' ng the farmers, especially in the grange, is whether they desire protection or free trade. Mr. Healey says that, while the farmers were opposed to President Taft in his reciprocity scheme,the peo-~ ple know that Mr. Roosevelt was just as much in favor of it and would prob- baly have done as much, or more, to promote it, had he been in the same position. The choice, as regards reci- procity, was not between the men, but must be between the two parties, and their platforms. The sentiment, Mr, Healey finds, is growing stronger all the time, and farmers will finaliy vote for Taft and protection, or Wilson and free trade. Moon Eclipse Not Visible Here.
