HOOVER TO FRAME FARM AD PROCRAM iEarly Action, if Nominated, Expected as Result of Talk With McNary. Administration leaders, in ng Secretary Hoover. Republican presiden- ti2l candidate, are giving considerable attention to the farm relief question in respect to the approaching campaign. No statement or definite move | expected to be made in this direction | until the - Republican convention 1n Kansae City selects the party nominee but activities here indicate that | is no doubt in the minds of the adm! stration group that this is a problem ln! immediate concern to the party. | Significance is attached in this con- nection to the action of Secretary | Hoover in calling into conference this week Senator McNary, Republican. of Orrgon. co-suthor of the agricultural legislation which met a strong veto from President Coolidge. | Early Pronouncement Seen. It is believed in Washington that if | Mr. Hoover, who now has a lead in the { number of de'>gates to the convention. | should win the nomination he would lose no time in outlining a farm pro- gram. Neither Mr. McNary nor t Secretarv. however. has given any indi- | ration of the purposes or the results of | their conferences. The Oregon Renator. | who is regarded as the farm spokesman at the Capitol, will not attend the Ra- { publican convention. but his State has given its delegates to Mr. Hoover. It har been said authoritatively that | the Becretarv was not consulted by | the President fn the framing of the | recent veto of the McNarv-Haugen bill. | But it 1s known that Mr. Hoover is one of these oonased to the equalization fee rineip's which wee declared tn be the strongest President. Additional sienificance is attached to the Hoover-McNary conferense becanse |of the apparent "break betwsen the | Senator and President Cnolidgs. In | nresenting the veto of the President to '!hP Senate, McNary asked that it be | overriden. He told the Senate that he {had indicated to Mr. Coolidge before the veto was written that he would con- sider a move to put through a b | without the eenalization fee in a new |effort to aid the farm situation. Me declared on the floor, however, that the ; President’s message which _included |some barsh adiectives. hed foreclosed | “even that avenue of relief. objection from | President’s Move Dropped. | Other Senators are known to have shared the resentment of McNary over the veto message and when rumors | reached the Capitol that Mr. Coolidge { wished to send a message to Congress | urging adoption of a farm relief pro- | | eram along lines he hed suggested in his annual message. leaders turned | against it and the effort was dropped. | Senator McNary has not given any | thought to the future legislative fight | for the equalization fee.
