The winner will oppose Daniel F. Steck, first Democrat to represent Iowa in the upper house of Con- gress since before the Civil War. Steck has no opposition within his party at the primaries. The Republican campaign has de- veloped largely into debate over the pending Hawley-Smoot tariff | bill, with Rep. L."J. Dickinson sup- porting and Gov. John Hammill at- tacking the measure. Frank J. Lund and W. O. Payne, the other aspirants, have revived demands for incorporating the 2qualization fee in the bill. Dickinson, once dubbed a “hell raiser for agriculture,” has insisted that an attack on the Hawley- 3 President. Gov. Hammill, seeking promotion to the Senate, after six years as Iowa’s chief executive, con- tends the opposition is not an is- sue of party loyalty. Both Dickinson and Hammill have pledged support to the Fed- eral Farm Board. Besides espousing the equaliza- tion fee, Lund, who was Benator Brookhart's campaign manager four years ago, has attacked Dickinson and Hammill as reactionaries. Payne, an old time Republican editor, has brought the World Court issue to the fore. Dickinson is the- only one of Iowa's 11 Republican representa- tives not seeking re-nomination. Three of the group have opposi- tion within their party and *seven will face Democratic contests in November. Smoot bill is a repudiation of the principal issue.
