Big Influence, Insures Nebraska for F. D. R. . Frazier Hunt Finds Majority of State’s Farmers Favor New Deal; Feed, Seed Loans Work in Favor of Administration “Listening to the Farm Belt” on assignment from the Tribune, Ace Reporter Frazier Hunt comes to Nebraska and probes pre-elec- tion sentiment in that politically famed correspondent and author. strategio state. This is the fifth of six articles recording the. sincere, unbiased findings of a world- By FRAZIER HUNT | (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.) Gus Summick was a German boy of 20, with 50 cents in his pocket when he landed in Omaha 50 years ago. Today he has eleven children, 1,200 acres of rich Nebraska land and money in the bank. And he has the American equivalent of the red ribbon of the French Legion of Honor—tle president of the United States has eaten 20 miles or so west of Omaha. fried chicken at his farm home I turned in the lane and pulled up alongside his big white . house, with the striped awnings. A garden sprinkler was whirling away in the thirsty front lawn. Gus and two or three of his sturdy sons were resting at noon under a great tree. Gus was a little hard to draw out, but he finally loosened up, and soon we were chatting away like old iriends. “Now, the farmers around here ain’t going to vote for Landon,” he insisted. “Why should they? Say, four years ago we was selling hogs for $2.25 a huhdred and haul- ing them to Omaha. Now they’re four times that much. And we sold corn and hauled it for 17 cents a bushel. It’s four times that now. And the same with wheat and everything else that the farmer raises. You think he’s going to forget? Say, 75 per cent of the farmers around here will vote for Roosevelt. Why, Landon is going to have plenty of trouble car- tying his own state. He just ain't stout enough.” I reminded him that many people over America had figured that he had turned down Roosevelt. The old fel- low's eyes blazed.. “Say, that was all nonsense,” he answered. “You know all I did was to write a letter to my congressman that our school taxes on part of our land was going to be raised from four mills to eight mills because of all the children * brought in on this Two River re- settlement project over there three miles away. I just wanted him to see that we didn’t get stuck for the extra taxes. Say, Roosevelt is the greatest man in the world.” Farmstead Pros and Cons I was interested in what he had to say about the colony. In Omaha I had heard the whole project crit- icized—a waste of money—a silly ex- periment—poor soil—graft. I turned my car around and headed it for Two Rivers. In the center of the colony I pulled up near where a tall, lean man was working a hand-power plow in a brown, discouraged acre of potatoes. I called to him and he shut off his machine and came over to the car. He had been a farmer and school teacher. There were 35 settlers here, broken men who had been chosen from several hundred applicants, he explained to me. Each had a com- fortable little four or five room home, set in an eight-acre plot—and a share in some 800 acres of a com- munity co-operative farm, dairy and Poultry enterprise. “We got our private chickens, too,” he said proudly. “Won’t you come over and see my house and my chickens?” I followed him down the dusty road and we turned in at his neat, little home. He could not hide how proud he was of it all. He had a chance here. He was a man again. His wife showed me about the tiny homé. The modern kitchen was her joy—hext to the big basement. “You just can’t know what this means to ue after what we've been through,” she said, the tears welling in her brown eyes. ‘ +The husband led me to the chicken house and opened the door. Fifty or} more white pullets were fighting the heat and trying their best to pay for their keep. We strolled back towards the car. “If a man can’t’ make a go of it here, it’s his own fault,” my host went on slowly. Roosevelt Cashes In At @ corner grocery store and gas station I talked to an old man who'd come over for a can of salmon. “! don’s all right, but it don’t look to me as if he’s had experience enough,” he allowed. “Farmers around here do @ lot of kicking but most of ‘em is glad enough to get that: govern- ment money. They're going to vote for Roosevelt because they want some more of it.” In Omaha one of the wisest non- partisan observers in the whole mid- dlé west had this to-say: “The Nor- ris influence is still powerful in Ne- braska, It'll be enough to pull Roose- velt through. Then the drouth will help him. The feed and seed loans, the direct relief and the special WPA Jobs, and the cattle help will all work for Roosevelt.” A taxi driver in Omaha struck a different note. “Lots of us working people have turned against Roosevelt gn account of the high cost of food,” he explained. Down in Lincoln, with the lofty and beautiful new capitol building rearing its proud head high above the flat prairies, I talked for three hours with a@ political writer who travels a great deal over the whole state. He was @ Roosevelt man and his words must be read with that fact in mind. He said: “The drouth makes Nebrak- ka suré for Roosevelt. It may take another month to stop the drift that has set in towards Landon, but it'll be checked. You can’t argue with a man whose starving livestock are being saved by federal feed. Nebraska will not have the human tragedy of the Dakotas, but we will have a great loss in cattle and pigs. The losses will be | mitigated by federal money and feed. Stat the farmers will appreciate at.” It would seem that drouth and '*Uncle George” Norris will carry Ne- braska into the Roosevelt column.
