Gifford Pinchot writes to Republican Committee Chairman Will H. Hays about the importance of farmers to the Republican Party. He believes it is the farmers of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, and Illinois that will be most vital to the next presidential election, not those of New York and Pennsylvania. Pinchot feels the danger that the Democratic Party may end up becoming the progressive party in the United States, particularly if it draws in the returning veterans of World War I. For the Republicans to attract them, the party must offer more than policies that the veterans will accept; Pinchot says that it must “label those policies with the names of men whom they will follow.”

Gifford Pinchot writes to Republican Committee Chairman Will H. Hays to see who in the Senate would be the most effective voice to present their point of view. Porter McCumber is a farmer and represents that interest. However, there may be a more “effective mouthpiece.”

Without the support of farmers, the Republican Party cannot carry the next election. Gifford Pinchot outlines for Republican Committee Chairman Will H. Hays a number of strategies for securing the support of the farmers, including that the Vice-Presidential candidate in 1920 should be a farmer.
