At that time it was decided to
use the influence Of the body to
secure federal legislation for the
benefit of farmers over the country.
A committee iof five governors will
be sent to Washington to urge re-
funding of farmers debt to tide
them over for year, or until they
are able to recoup losses suffered
through bad transportation facili-
ties and a declining market for
wheat, cotton and foodstuffs.
Among the state executives who
were here for today's meeting was
Governor Coolidge Of Massachus-
etts, vice president-elect.
