TICKET SUCCESS FORECAST ON FARM AID ISSUE| ___(Continued from First Page.) the fight for the McNary-Haugen bill when Brookhart was the idol of the However, re- norts received here indicate that Mr. Haugen will pull through. In the eighth district, Representative Lloyd Thurston is opposed by W. £. Bradley, an active camypaigner, but the Republ- cans are likely to carry their ticket there, too. Claude R. Porter, the Democratic nominee for the Senate against Col. Brookhart, is widely known, popular and highly regarded. In the past he has been several times the Demo- cratic nominee for governor and for Senator, and once ran only about 14,000 behind his Republican opponent for governor. He Is making an active campaign, The hope of the Democrats is thar enough Republicans who dislike Brookhart will vote for the Demo- ic nominee to give the latter the victory hen added to the Democratic strength of the State. They recall the great turn-over of regular Republicans against Brookhart in 1924, which resulted in the election of Senator Daniel P. Steck, Democrat, and the ultimate ousting of Col. { Brookhart from the Senate. They argue that if Steck, who, al- though he had been State commander of the American Legion and a district attorney, was comparatively unknown to the voters, could win in 1924, then Porter, who has admitted strength in the State, can certainly be elected against Brookhart this Fall. 3ut the Democrats seem to forget that in 1924 the Republican State or- ganization repudiated Brookhart in the last weeks of that campaign and urged Republicans to vote for Steck, and that no such situation now e 3 here. The Republican State organi tion has accepted Brookhart, and its leaders assert that it is going down the line for him as well as the rest of Furthermore, Brookhart ng no attack on the Republican administration in his cam- aign speeches. The Republican or- ganization is out to win this year and put itself in good shape for 1928. Factional differences have not been contined alone to the Republican {party in Iowa. A bitter fight a few | years ago eliminated Wilbur Marsh as | Democratic national committeeman | and gave his place to Clyde Herring. | Porter has belonged to the Herring- Meredith faction. He was one of tha delegates at the Democratic national convention of 1924 who stood out | against_the proposal to name the Ku Klux Klan in a resolution attacking secret organizations. Many of the Democrats in lowa have been Irish- American and German-American Cath- olics. Many of the Democrats have been wet. Mr. Porter is bone dry. He may lose Democratic votes in' this year's election. Klan Brought Into Talk. There is a story here that links up the Klan with the ousting of Col. Brookhart from the Senate last Spring. According to the report, Wil- {liam F. Zumbrunn. general counsel | for the Klan and of counsel for the | epposition to Brookhart in the elec- {tion contest, went directly to Sena- | tors from States where the Klan is strong and persuaded them to vote to unseat Brookh: The Klan is not strong politically in Iowg, but its op- ponents are strong, and many of them are Democrats. 1f there is one thing that has been resented in Iowa, it is the unseating of Brookhart. It had {as much to do with ks victory in the | primaries against Senator Cummins as the resentment of the farmers over the failure of farm relief legislation, Towa is still intent upon farm relief from Congress. The ( v scssion here, dur. inz which resolutions were adonted demanding the enactment of legisla- tion which would take care of the farmers’ surplus crops and give the farmer the full benefit of the tariff. It was determined to invite the farm organizations of the cotton States and of Far Western States to join with the present organization at a meeting 20 be held in St. Louis November 18 |and 17, in the hope that these States would help present a solid array when the farm representatives descend in December. It was notic E rhaj nificant that at ils meeting here the grain belt federation did not attack | dominate the Republican administration was not accomplished without some argument, but it was accomplished. Coolidge Regime Indorsed. At the Iowa State Republican con- vention after the senatorial primaries this year the Coolidge administration was indorsed. There was an expres- sion of regret that the President had seen fit to oppose the M Haugen bill demanded by the farmers of Iowa, but it was “more in sorrow than in anger,” according to the spokesman. Although the national campaign of 1928 is still more than a year and a half way, there is talk here, as else- where, as to what effect the admint tration’s opposition to the McNary Haugen bill will have in the even President Coolidge is a capdidate to succeed himself. What will be the at- titude of the lowa delegation at the Republican_national convention to- ward Coolidge. A prediction was made here today by men who follow closely not only the political situation in Iowa, but also are in close touch with the farm- ers themselves, that the delegation will vote for Coolidge if the President is a_candidate for renomination. This prediction is all the more significant because some of these men supported nator La Follette in 1924 against the President. They based their pre- diction on what they termed an ‘‘un- derlying popularity of President Cool- idge with the rank end file of the farmers” and the rest of-the citizens of Iowa, notwithstanding the admin- istration’s opposition to the principles of the McNary-Haugen bill. Furthermore, they pointed out that eight of the eleven members of the Republican_State committee are Cool- idge men. They insisted that the or- ganization, being_pro-Coolidge, would the situation when the State convention meets in 1928. For- mer Gov. Lowden of Illinols, whose name has been mentioned frequently as a possible candidate for.the presi- dentlal nomination against President Coolidge, is admittedly popular in Towa. Convention Picks Delegates. If a preferential primary were held today with the President and Lowden as contenders, the latter would prob- ably receive the greater vote, though not by a large margin. But as a practical proposition it is to be re- membered that there is no presi- dential preferential primary in Iow: The delegates to a national conven- tion, if they are instructed, are in- structed by the State convention. While the farmers are by no means out of the woods in lowa, conditions are better here, The corn crop Is less this year by 80,000,000 or more bushels than it was last year, but last year was a bumper crop. There is some hog cholera, but not much. The price of corn is way down, but the price of wheat s up. Further- more, hogs are selling at $12 a hun- dred or more, and the hog is a great factor in Iowa prosperity. A huge percentage of the corn grown is fed to live stock in Iowa. The farmer gets his return for the corn in the prices which he receives for hogs and cattle. of the State is large. The prices for cattle in lowa, too, have been favor- able, averaging higher than last year by 7 cents a pound. The dairy farm- ers are in good condition. Deposits in Iowa State banks, sav- ings banks and trust companies show a decided increase. The borrowings from the Federal Reserve Board are lower and also those from the War “inance Corporation, all of which in- ates that Iowa is getting further out of the indebtedness into which it fell after the collapse of farm values and farm prices following the war period. New Autos Purchased. Another measure of conditions is found in the purchase of new auto- mobiles. The sales of cars this year have been considerably larger than last year or the year before. Seventy per cent of the new car registrations in June, for example, were in rural counties. The picture is not entirely rosy, however, and banks continue to fail in Iowa. More failures are expect- ed, although it is believed that the banking situation is well on its way to_stable conditions. Mr. Porter, Democratic nominee for the Senate, has assailed the Repub- lican protective tariff, saying that it should be lowered so that the farmer and other producers might have the benefit of cheaper prices for the things they must buy. He says that the anti-trust law should be better enforced to protect the consumers. He admits that a condition not a theory confronts the farmers of Iowa, the administration or mention Secre. v Jardine, Secretary Hoover or Sec- retary Mellon in condemnation, as it has in the past. This soft-pedaling on Y and for that reason he says he will favor legislation similar to the Mo- Nary-Haugen bill if he is elected, L This year the hog population | though declaring his opposition to Government price fixing. Not Dodging Tariff Issue. The Republicans are not dodging the tariff issue, declaring for the pro- tective tariff. The recent statement issued by Gov. Lowden favoring a continuance of the protective tariff is being used widely. The declaration of a group of international bankers for lower tariffs has given added am- munition to the Republican speakers, who are seeking to align the Demo- crats with the international bankers in this matter. An international banker believed to be something with horns nd hoofs in this part of the country. Col. Brookhart has continued to lambaste Wall Street, the Federal Re- serve Board and the railroad trans- portation act, and to demand the én- actment of thg McNary-Haugen bill. He has been called now to the bedside of his brother, State Senator Brook- hart, whose death is expected, and it is unlikely that he will be able to con- tinue personally his campaign. The voters, however, have made up their minds how they will vote. There is little excitement about the campaign and election. landsome hand-etched! tray rests on top India hand-carved ¢ uinut Stand, $45.
