Wilson said the offer came to him “confidentially,” and that he had re- jected it. He declined to say who made the offer. Nomination Deferred. President Coolidge completed the personnel of the new board only a few days ago, after maintaining one va- eancy for several days after original- ly naming four of the five members of the new board.

In the background, too, supporters of President Coolidge scented the wielding of potential political power in behalf of Vice-President Dawes in 1928. Gen.

The corn belt representa- tives are apparently solid in their de- termination to have the McNary Haugen bill or nothing, and are pre- pared to block any legislation they consider to be “half-way.” Leader's View. Representative Dickinson, of Iowa, leader of the farm bloc in the house, summed up the bloc’s attitude: “Farm relief legislation is defeat- ed for this session,” he said. “We are ready to go home. The fight will be resumed in December.” Corn Belt Riled.
