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.
