booed and chanted "Strike." Dole later sent a telegram to the Saturday rally, repeating his support for the Kansas farmers, but not mentioning the strike.
Bennett drew a standing ovation Saturday, telling farmers, "I'm proud of you in every way," and pledging that he would do everything in his power to carry on the farmer's movement.
Bennett stressed that there was no "magic wind" he could wave to help the farmers plight, but that he would explain the Kansas farmer's cause to the nation's governors.
The strike's political coordinator, Lyle Davidson of Johnson, read telegrams at the rlym from U.S. Rep. Dan, Glickman, Martha Keys and Keith Sebelius, all of Kansas. Their telegrams supported the farmers.
Sen. James Pearson, R-Kan., and U.S.
Reps Joe Skubitz and Larry Winn Jr., both
of Kansas, drew an unfavorable response
from the rally after Davidson said these
politicians had sent no word.
Martie Floyd of Johnson summarized the striking farmers cause when he told the rally, "We're not out to get the consumer, because 100-per-cent parity would only raise the price of a leaf of bread two-and-a-half times, are only trying to save the family farm."
