He then turned to methods of real relief and to that end submitted a new pro- gram containing six main points ns follows: First — The plan must provide the producer of staple surplus commodities a tariff benefit over world prices equivalent to th2 benefit that is already given under existing tariff rates to industrial products.

Dimond for Delegate to Congress from Al- aska. “The result of the State elec- tion in Maine, which returned a Democrat to the Govenorship for the third time since the Civil War, and sent two Democrats to Congress, together with the aston- ishing Democratic vote in the Washington primary last Tuesday, foreshadows a landslide for Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt next Novem- ber,” Mr. Connors said in com- menting on Mr. Farely's telegram.

The declaration is a direct hit at the American Legion Con= vention, too.
