HUNT NEA Service Writer NEW YORK , June 30.—New York is having forced home on its consciousness the fact hat the fight ing farmers of the west and middle west mean business. Above all the din and clamor of klan and anti-klan, wet and' dry, It ague and anti-league factions at tending the early days of the Dem ocratic convention, the one clear, seady, constant call comes from delegates representing the great ag ricultural states for a platform and a ticket that will win the confidence and suppor of the men who pro duce bread and butter that the na tion may eat. While the Smith and McAdoo forces battle to emphasize or sub ordinate the klan and prohibition issues to suit their own situations, an increasing body of delegates are wondering how these can be handl ed to satisfy the country’s demand for economic relief. And it is on the outlook for economic assistance, particularly to agriculture, that the hope of the Democrats in the com ing campaign admittedly rests. * * * In this situation, pending tne breakdown of the McAdoo-Smith deadlock, delegates are turning more and more to a consideration of what candidates can satisfy this need. Among the horse” posAili for the for derstands and lems of the farmer and who be expected to give it consideration vit least equal to that given manu facturing and merchandising. Os the three leading figures in the “dark horse” group—Ralston, Glass and John W. Davis—Ralston pnd Glass find most favor with the farm contingent. Both have had direct and' inti mate touch with farm life and farm problems. Davis is not so well known west of the Alleghenys and sentiment concerning him is not so well crystallized: Davis sentiment, however, has been steadily develop ing and the West Virginia lawyer must be taken into serious account in any re-shuffling of ballots fol lowing a deadlock. » » * The five names with which the agricultural delegates are chiefly concerned, however, are; David F. Houston, former secre tary of agriculture. Edwin T. Meredith, also ex-secre tary of agriculture. Carl S. Voorman, farmer and former assistant secretary of agri culture. Jonathan M. Davis, “dirt-farmer governor of Kansas. Charles Bryan, governor of Ne braska and brother of William J. B. * * * Os this group Houston seems likely to develop greatest strength as a possibility for the presidential nomination, should a protracted deadlock develop. He can win a large following outside the farm groups. He carries the aura of having been one of Woodrow Wil son’s trusted advisers and can hold much of the Wilson strength. Also he is well known to eastern finan cial and business interests and would be much more satisfactory to Vhem than a man who mthey had had Hess opportunity to gauge. Hu h, ofxtJr.sAJl the puly one likely j to be showdown for the the ticket. • * * The other four, while being ■boosted by small groups as presi iential possibilities, are really be ing jockeyed for second position on the ticket . Any one of the quar tet, their backers believe, would bo more appealing Io the sons of the soil than is Charles G. Dawes, the Chicago banker running mate of President Coolidge. Over the convention, too, as an additional reason for taking defi nite steps to placate agricultural discontent, looms the 14i Follette conference in Cleveland which will follow this convention. .■ SALESMAN SAM Sam Told Him to Do Both 'k ■ ", '' 1 1 i’ll Fix HOuMJM \ i Teg HOUK Yh’ comiew-XV r\u 7” — 7 ~~~ hTT ’ IB 'Mo Wa :• v rx- y x- a rer shu ' I Wk fed - • WV-F *A' 1 ’( Is fl . -**" ’• '..•■J , i 'i'’ 1 a wm.TE.H-ro x\ ILL ■ s - 7 3?v P ■ 3L-XX_. - ..
