FARM PRODUCTS PRICES REPLY TO DISTRESS-CRY Internal Troubles Will Keep Dem- ocrats Busy, Comment of Hoover Manager. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 4.—Prohibition and the equalization fee 'phase of farm relief will be subordinated by Republi- cans this year to the protective tariff, under the campaign plans announced by Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican national ' committee. Dr. Work’s outline of campaign issues was contained in today’s Chicago Tribune. Wet and dry issues, said Dr. Work, who stopped over yesterday on his way from Superior, Wis, to Washington, would bring more votes to the Republi- cans than to the Democrats. The need of farm relief, he thought, had been greatly overstated. Farm Prices High. “It is difficult for me to believe that farmers are in such distress, with steers 8 $18, w%oll‘ l:t “l oen'.:,n:hut at $1.47, hogs at prices, every- thing else the farmer sells bringing good _prices,” he said. “The Republi- can party has stood for the protective tariff, which protects wages of the workmen in mill, mine and factory. These, in turn, have money to buy the products of the American farmer.” Dr. Work was optimistic over the out- look for Republican success. He had favorable reports, he said, from Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Da- kota, al h intensive work will be required in the last mentioned State. Dry Problem Local. Returning to the subject of farm re- lief, Dr. Work stated he had been told the output of farm machinery is larger than ever before.
