But it is a fight. a fight in the fog. not merely a fight for a bare existence but a fight for the farmer to be a free man and to be a human being. In this fight Senator JoHNSoN has been in the forefront for many years in the farmers cooperative movement. in the State legislature. and it took him into the United States Senate. This immigrant boy from Sweden began to think seriously of public questions and the farmers place in the sun when he chopped thetrees he grubbed on his farm into cordwood. The cold winter days when he hauled the wood to town he sat on the load with hay in his boots to keep his feet from freezing the while he meditated on how to organize the farmer so he would take up the fight in his own behalf. His story reads like a fairy tale. a romance that a Selma Lagerloef alone could do justice to for his faith in God and his love of humanity springs from roots that lie deep among the birch groves of Wermeland in Sweden.
