FARMERS ARE GRUX OF THE SITUATION Election of Either Candidate Depends on Raral Yote . Springfield, Til., Sept. 17 UP—The ultimate choice of the farmer as be- .tween Hoover and Smith remains , the highly speculative element in the whole range of midwestern preal- .deatial.politics. Other factors weigh heavily, but unlike the farmer vote they are more or less fixed quantities. Tt ia conceded, for instance, that 8mith will run well in the larger cities, that Hoover will run well among the women voters, and that there will be certain switches on the prohibi- tion and religious issues, and for other atated. reasons, When they talk privately about these matters, “the politicians are pretty much in agreeemat. It is when they speak of e farmer that' republican and democratic forecasts come moat violently iInto conflict, and it is the farmer about whose intentions both parties now are seeking all of the information procurable, Conflicting All sorts of stories come from the rural districts into republican mid wentérn headquarters at Chicag and democratie midwestern head: quarters at 8t Louis. Both sides are hearing things that please them, ‘and things that do not please them. In some instances they are hearing lof whole groups of country and small-town voters who still are on ‘the fence weeks after the acceptance ‘speeches of- the nominees, reluctant to take either Smith or Hoover, and in a mood to stay at home on elec- tion day. - 2 The root of this matter appears te lle muc! per than such sur- face issues farm relief,”—how- ever much or little that term may mean, — “McNary-Haugenism,” or the “equalization fee” Many farm leaders take the view that the whole agricultural economic structure is at fault, and that its rectification will be & tedleus and delicate operation, not to be accomplished by over- night legislation, and not to be en- trusted to the hands of anyone who is not the proved friend of agricul- ture. The voters who feel that way ebout it are not talking so much about specific cures, or party plat- forms, or even the promises of can- didates, but are asking: “Will 8mith or Hoover, in the White House, be more likely to approach the agri- culturalproblem with sympathy and understanding?” Looking at matters thus, they are fold by democratic spellbinders, and by a goodly number of the consti- tuted leaders of midwest farm or- ganizations, that Hoover was not the friend of agriculture as food ad- winistrator or cabinet member, that his party already has failed to solve the “preblem, and ‘that during the * Hoover republican convention at Kansas City the farm representaives were not only outvoted, but ridi- culed and outraged as well. By the republicans’ thefe: same voters are told that Emith knows nothing about farm troulifes that his whole politi- caf ‘background is devoid of every- thing that would make him friendly NURSES know, and doctors have declared there's mothing quite like Bayer Aspirin for all sorts of aches and pains, but be sure it is genuine Bayer; that name must be on the package, and on every tablet. Bayer genuine, and the word genuine—in red—is on every box. You can’t go wrong if you will just look at the box: oate mark of :m Menufecture of Monoscaticacidester of Salicylicscid to the farmer, and that nothing need be expected from & ‘“Tammany cure” for midwestern rural illa. Outcume Tmportant In states like Tllinois, the outcome of this tangle of emotions is of vital consequence, It is to the dry re- publican downstate farmer that the republicans look to' overturn any majority Smith may roll up in Chi- cago and thus keep safe for Hoover this state which has been going overwhelmingly for republican presi- dential nominees for years. ‘The republican managers scoff at all suggestions that Illinois is doubt- ful, however, disappointed it may have been over the defeat of its favorite son, Frank O. Lowden for the presidential nomination, and the failure of the farm crusade at Kan- sas City. They point out that al- though Lowden himself is silent, his most trusted Illinois lieutenants on the farm issues are at work for Hoover. From James W. Good, the western generalissimo, down, the party leaders insist that their private advices all support a supposition that by election day the dissenters will come round, and with other contri- butions Hoover's down-state plur- ality will exceed the 250,000 margin Coolidge had in 1924, in the coun- ties outside Chicago, over the com- bined vote of Davis and La Follette. Hope is No Dream The democrats insist similarly that their hope of carrying the state for Smith is no dream. Thomas F. Dono the democratic state chair- man, says a canvass of those en- gaged in or dependent on: agricul- ture shows but 55 per cent for Hoover, and that the normally heavy republican farm plurality will be cut’ to around 60,000. Donevan counts accretions to the Smith cause from the Illinols miners, who are Jjust returning to work after a long period of idleness, and concludes that Smith's Chicago plurality, esti- mated by some democrats at as high as 200,000, will much more than put him over in the state as a whole. Just how much of an organized republican effort will be made to stem defections to 8mith in Chicago itself remains to be seen. The cele- brated quarrel between the *“Big Bill” Thompson republican faction and that led by Senator Deneen con- tinues, with various smaller feuds on the side, and has reached a pass where Thompson and his enemies are maintaining separate campaign organizations within the city. The democrats disagreed for a time over selection of a successor to the late George Brennan as democratic na- tional committeeman, but to out- ward appearances they now present & united front, and are at work to take full advantage of the natural big city swing to 8mith on prohibi- tion and other issues. The sdemo- cratic presidential nominee himself has promised to speak in Chicago later in the campaign. Cdolidge Won Chicago Not since 1892 has Chicago re- turned a majority for a democratic presidential nominee, although it was under democratic city rule for years, Four years ago Coolldge took the city by 190,000 more votes than were given Davis and LaFol- lette together. UNITED STATES I KEY T0 SITUATION (Continued from First Page) the allies in connection with repara- tions. The German belief was that Seymour Parker Gilbert, agent gen- eral for reparations, had already ad- mirably paved the way for the pro- posed study. The belief was generally expressed also that the negotiations would have a repercussion on the Berengcr acoord under which France has been provisionally making debt pay- ments to the United States. Some thought that it would be difficult, it mot impossible, to avoid discus- sion of the relation of Germann reparations to interallied debts in general. The negotiations probably will mean a study by the powers of the possibility of revision of the Dawes plan, the study of the possibility of commercialization of the reparations bonds and the study of the rela- tions between reparation settlements and inter-allied debts. The representatives of the powers apparently desire to have the United Btates collaborate in the last two projects. One eminent statesman said of course the United States should be invited to collaborate in the reparations negotiations, but either with or without American collaboration the work should bc steadily pushed forward. o ent Reached Although the impression prevailed that the French link complete evacuation of the Rhineland with réparations, no agreement was reached concerning the German re. quest for complete evacuation. In- stead an accord in principle was agreed upon by the representatives of the powers by which evacuation and the replacing of allied troops NEW BRITAIN DRY CLEANING CORP, ‘Late Summer Dowdiness will turn to fall and winter chic if you will let us dye your dresses in any of the new dark shades.

All delegations emphasized that the agreement on reparations should not be interpreted as a united front against America on the question ot war debts. Lord Cushendun, representing Great Britain, said the position of his government was that Great Britain was determined to pay her debt in full. He added that Great Britain would make no arrange- ments for liquidating Britain's claims on Europe which would mean that less would come from Europe than was to be paid the United States, nor would depend in any way upon any comsideration from America. No Common Front Chancellor Hermann Mueller of Germany insisted there was no idea of making & common front against America. He said if the United States desired to be represented on the commission to study reparations, the desire would be gratified, Per- sonally, he added, he would be glad to have the United States partici- pate. German circles said France for- mally declined to grant total evacua- tion of the Rhineland, saying it was impossible for the moment at least. British circles asserted that Lord Cushendun, had labored strenuously to advance evacuation. Germany accepted the allied idea of instituting a commission of veri- fication and conciliation for the Rhineland but the powers split on the question of how long it should continue to function. The Germans refused to budge on their previous position that it should end in 1935, the date set by the treaty of Ver- sailles for evacuation. The Allies wanted “to have the commission operate as long as the Locarno Rhine pact. Welcome Accord London, Sept. 17 (®—A majority of the london newspapers this morning welcomed the agreement in principle for a settlement. of the problem of evacation of the Rhine- land announced at Geneva. They regarded the accord as furnishing a distinct hope for a final settle- ment. Regarding the success of the commission to deal with reparations some papers altached great import- ance to the American attitude, An editorial captioned “All Eyes On American” in the Daily News said “success depends upon the ex- tent to which, if at all, America is willing to co-operate ard now that other late belligerents appear to have discovered a formula, it is to be hoped she won't stand out.” The Daily Chronicle sald, “The far reaching and delicate financial problems can hardly be solved with- out intervention of the United States.” RUSSUANS RESULE G MEN FROM DEATH Were Wrecked in - Plane in Northern Siberia Moscow, Russia, Sept. 17 UP—Bix men of the Russian plane “Souviet of the North,” missing since August 22 on a flight from Viadivostok to Leningrad, have been rescued by the steamer Stavropol. Plane Wrecked Their airplane was wrecked dur- ing a storm near Kolyuchin Bay, 8i- beria, and the crew, apparently un- hurt, walked more than 200 miles over a bleak and frozen plain to the icebound coast where the steamer took them aboard. M. Krassinsky, head of the party and a mechanic, returned to ‘the wrecked plane to fetch their equip- ment, e First news of the men's safety came today in a wireless message from the steamer Stavropol. It had been the intention of the men to fly across the edge of the Arctic circle to Leningrad, exploring the little known coastline of Siberia and Russia between Bering Strait and the former Russian capital, GIGANTIC PARADE DETAILS COMPLETE (Continued from Page Two) 1st Squadron Cavalry—After cir- cling hilltop proceed via Grand street to location for luncheon. 19th Division Naval Militia— ‘When 169th Infantry has moved out follow in column to location for luncheon.
