Sioux City residents who flew to Des Moines urged Gov. Herring to gall out the militia. The chief ex- ecutive countered that he would issue the call only when the sheriff said he coudn’t handle the situation longer. His townsmen put the question to the sheriff who agreed to wire his re- quest. Then he disappeared; not to be located. The wire had not been received early Tuesday. Farmers Oppose Picketing on Complaints St. Paul, Nov. 7—(#)—Gen. Hugh is: Johnson, NRA administrator on the alert for “price gougers,” stepped Tuesday into the midwest, scene of widespread farm unrest. Observing that Henry Ford “seems |to be complying with provisions of | jthe law,” the code chieftain of the administration, in an interview pre- ceding addresses here and in Minne- apolis, said “all things considered, things seem to be going better than I expected.” He promised prompt investigation | of any unwarranted price advance- ments and quick suppression of “gougers.” Declaring the agricultural adjustment administration is moving just as hard and fast as it can, John- son said: “If the farmers could form a code of fair comostition they would be.en- titled to admittance under the NRA. but there are 6,000,000 of them of all shades of thought and action.” Washington figures indicated. he said, that farm: product prices have increased 32 per cent compared to a 17 per cent increase in the price of things farmers must buy. He admit- ited, however, that in the corn, hog. lvestock and dairy areas, the price Gisparity was greater and that farm prices have not advanced as much.

Of almost equal importance to a large portion of the electorate is New York's City three-way mayoral con- test in which Tammany’s long reign 1s at stake. Elsewhere on the off-year Novem- oer election horizon—in scattered city jand state elections—political observ- ers hoped to gauge sentiment with an vye to congressional campaigns next year.

McKee. Need. Three States Wet organization leaders forecast anti-prohibition majorities in at least three of the six states voting—all that. is necessary to assure elimination of the 18th amendment from the consti- tution—while dry organization cap- tains said there were good chances for halting the hitherto unbroken wet parade. ‘ Although voters express themselves Tuesday, actual repeal could not ma- terialize until the first week in De- cember.. The ballots elect delegates to state conventions which, December 5 or 6, will ratify or reject a new constitutional amendment repealing tbe eighteenth. Repealists looked chiefly to Penn- sylvania, Kentucky and South Car- ina to join the 33 states which al- dy have approved repeal by 11,- ,190 to 3,735,657 popular vote. They also oonceded little doubt about North Carolina and Ohio but were not so sure of Utah. Dry forces claimed a big vote would be polled in Pennsylvania, but the re- ae expected a two to one ma- iy. South Carolina touched off its last campaign day with a controversy be- tween wets and drys over whether women must have poll tax receipts. Drys Hopeful In Ohio Prohibition leaders in the homeland of the dry cause—Ohio—held there was a good chance of a dry victory if the state's citizenry turned out in full strength. The Ohio repeal council predicted a three-to-one decision for the wets. North Carolina’s voting held a dou- ble interest in that two tickets were cffered. On one the voter says wheth- er he favors calling a convention to act on repeal and on the other he chooses between wet and dry dele- gates to the convention. If a major- ity is against a convention none can be held. Both wets and drys conceded Utah's ‘wo largest cities—Salt Lake City and Ogden—would go for repeal, but pro- hibition lieutenants looked to the tural areas for victory. In Keutucky, both the Democratic and Republican state parties were bledged to repeal, leading to forecasts that the commonwealth would be wet hy @ good majority. Interest in the New York City may- oral election was heightened because of the involvement of future political jcontrol.
