Two Issues Stand Out. There are two big issues in the cam- paign and neither of them is prohibi- tion. They are farmers’' aid and the control by the regular wing of the Republican party as opposed to Brook: hart and his insurgents. TUp to date this State is politically dry enough to please the most exact ing prohibitionist. There are oases in some of the cities and bootleggers are not unknown. But there is no popular demand for a referendum on the dry laws vet on the horizon. Cn the farm question, there is no administration candidate in the field. But from the standpoint of party regularity, Senator Cummins is the real thing. There is no doubt but what the nomination of Brookhart, who has fought the administration in the past on every issue that has come :up, would be a terrible blow to the admin- istration forces. So far as the Republican organiza- tion of the State is concerned, the fight has resolved itself into *‘Cum-| mins or cl to paraphrase the Coolidge slogan of 1924. A member of the party organization admitted to me that a victory for Brookhart would throw a monkey-wrench into the machinery here that would have incalculable results. | But on the farm issue alone, in| which the administration is strongly | interested in this Middle Western sec- | tion of the country and particular the ‘““corn belt,” the situation is vast- ly different. Clark Is Progressive. Here is Brookhart, on one hand, prancing up and down the State, pro- claiming that he is the one Simon pure friend of the farmer. Mr. Clark, who was being groomed to fight Sen- ator Cummins on a Progressive plat- forin in the expectation that Brook- hart would remain in Washington as Senator, is declaring himself no less a friend of the farmer and in favor of the McNary-Haugen bill principles. Senator Cummins and his friends| are doing their utmost to convince the farmers that he has been first, last and all the time a friend of the Mc- | Nary-Haugen bill, which the admin- istration has so strongly opposed. Thousands upon thousands of leaflets are being sent out from the various Cummins’ headquarters preclaiming: his devotion to the principles of the McNary-Haugen bill. One of them consists of a letter from Representative Gilbert N. Hau- gen himself in which he says: “I have always had the hearty and loyal sup- port of Senator Cummins and every member of the lowa delegation in all our efforts to pass farm relief meas- ures having for their object to afford material relief to the farmer.

Oratory at Session. The session yesterday evening ended in an explosion of oratory by Mr. Blanton of the type for which he is noted but which heretofore has not been employed by him before the Judiciary committee. It came when Frank J. Hogan, chief counsel for Mr. Fenning, Intimated that the Texan's labors wefe conducted with an eye toward his ‘‘constituents.” Waving his arms and shouting at the top of his voice, Mr. Blanton declared: “I don’t get a bit of credit for this—not a thing. There's not a man in my State that will vote for me because of this. ‘I'm doing this work for the World War veterans, the men I voted to send to France.” For the first time was applause which drew from the chair admonitions against such ex- pressions from the audience.

THIRD OF DELEGATES ALIGNED WITH GROUP Leader of “Middle” Delegates May Be Backed by Modernists for Presidency. Unshaken by their failure yester- day to force the general conference of the Northern Baptist Church to com mit {tself to a policy of requiring im mersion as a perrequisite to church membership. the fundamentalist wing today marshaled its forces for a re newed campaign against the modern ist element which they declare never will cease until the “twin monsters i of modernism and mammonism are driven from the church.” Far from settling the strife within the ranks of the conference, the vote yesterday on the question of im mersfon, behind which lay the qués tion of “open membership” churches, | has given great cheer to the funda- mentalist wing. They point to the {vote of onethird of the delegates i which was recorded for their strictly fundamental resolution yvesterday. A determined “fight to the finish” with the modernists has been declared, but there is no thought, even among the extreme fundamentalist leaders, of separation. A mass meeting has been called for tonight immediately following the close of the evening service at the Washington Auditorium of all dele- Bates and visitors favoring adherence to fundamental Baptist principles. The meeting will be held in the Fifth Baptist Church, Six-and-a-half and E streets southwest, which was loaned for the occasion by Rev. John E. Briggs. Plans of action will be for- mulated at that time, it was an- nounced. Tranquility Rules Session. Tranquillity prevailed, however, throughout the morning session. which was devoted to a study of mis- sion fields and devotional services.

The majority of the as- to have accepted the rday as final for this convention, at least. ‘Whether the fundamentalist bloc j causes further ferment now is to | be determined at the protest meeting | tonight. A number of far-reaching proposals were made last night by fundamentalist leaders at a ‘“‘war council” at the Raleigh Hotel, which was attended by more than 300, in- | cluding all the outstanding orthodo: j chieftains.

Dr. John Roach Straton of New York proposed that a petition be pre- sented to the convention tomorrow morning asking that a referendum on the question of immersion be sub- mitted to the membership of the local churches, Such a referendum would settle once for all the question, he declared. The matter will be con- sidered at the mass meeting tonight. Other proposals were: Submission of a new proposed amendment to the { by-laws of the church, thus forcing on the next general conference a re- | newal of the strife -betwen modernism and fundamentalism; a series of reso- lutions asking that the educational and missionary flelds of the church be “‘purged” of modernists; an appeal 1 to the convention to turn over to the | tundamentalists certain colleges of the denomination which would be wholly under their control, and an attempt to oust from the convention delegates from the Fosdick church. Should the fundamentalist wing de- cide tonight to accept for the present convention the situation regarding ‘modernism, they are then planning to carry on a determined crusade among “the folks back home” during the next year. Brougher May Be Named. Meanwhile, the victorious “middle- roaders” and modernist factions of the convention prepared today to urge the election to the presidency of the conference of Rev. James Whitcomb Brougher of California, who cham- pioned the so-called “conciliation reso- lution,” which passed yesterday over the opposition of the fundamentalists.

It was ‘he who called the Chicago conference this Spring which reported out the resolution concerning immersion which Yesterday was adopted. Dr. Brougher conducted the debate yesterday for his resolution and as a result is prominently before the con- ference. His election, should he be nominated, which is likely, is taken by the fundamentalists as a foregone conei: ‘The conference haited its delibera- tiong this morning to make a trip to the "White House, where they were received by President and Mrs. Cool- idge. About 3,000 visitors were in the party and the President was photo- graphed ‘with them. Question Left to Churches. The Brougher or “Chicago resolu- tion,” finally adopted yesterday, reads: “The Northern Baptist conventtor recognizes its constituency as consist- ing solely of those Baptist churches in which the immersion of believers is recognjzed practiced as the only Scriptdral baptism, and the conven- tion hereby declares that only im- mersed members will be recognized as delegates to the convention.” This means, leaders explain, that the question of what shall constitute the membership of the local Baptist churches shall be left to them as au- tonomous bodies under the church or- | conditions. ganization.
