be a member Of a committee to invite
prominent Indianapolis citizens to be-
come members of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, he declared
today in letter to Smiley N. Chambers
who invited him to join such COM
mittee.
In his letter DR.. Shumaker said the
organization against the prohibition
amendment proposes to have the Vol
stead act repealed, to permit every State
to pass it's own enforcement act, to re-
move the prohibition amendment from
the constitution.

pose through this association to undo,
step by step, in reverse order. what the
Anti-Saloon League has accomplished in

this country, and you invite me to help
you do it,"
He said the association while protesting
to favor enforcement of law is under
mining respect for the law.

posing to do, in spite Of the Eighteenth

FARMERS FILL
HOTEL LOBBTES
OF WASHINGTON
Agricultural Conference Is
Similar to County Fair
ground.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
- nht1nanf,l,in ra..hiin nan.nr

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-There is
certainly a bucoIic atmosphere In Wash
ington this week of the National Agri-
cultural Conference. The Hobbies OF the
Willard, where it holds forth, are as fun
of farmer folk as an Iowa county fair
ground. The talk and gossip are ex-
clusively of the soil. Yet, as President
Harding today was heard to remark, 1t
is not a conference exclusively of tilIers
of the land. 1t contains bankers, manu-
facturers, merchants, packers, lawyers,
shippers-men and women of all the
branches that in one way or another are
associated, directly or indirectly, with
agriculture. To one of his callers at the
White House who is attending the con-
ference the President observed there Is a
new kind of farmer in the United States.
The traditional notion Of a hayseed with
unkempt whiskers, Mr.. Harding re-
marked, is no longer the type. The
President added, speaking of the de-
mand for a farmer on the Federal re-
serve board, that there is one there al
ready-he evidently refers to Charles s.
Hamlin of Massachusetts,. "And the best
farmer I ever knew in my home county
in Ohio affirmed Mr.. Harding, ais now
comptroller of the currency"
William Jennings Bryan certainly
caught the farmers fancy with his i'm
promptu speech at the agricultural con-
ference Monday. Everybody was talking
about 1t. He was the Bryan of the cross
Of gold and crown-of- thorns days and, II
It had been a convention instead Of a
conference he would almost have STAN
peded 1t-sO many participants avow.
Washington thinks 1t was the peerless
ones public bid to be sent to the Senate
from Florida as the farmers acknowl-
edged spokesman. His friends will tell
you that the Bryan OF these retrospective
days Is conscious Of his incapaclty as an
executive, and longs to end his career in
the national forum where policies are
nodded and statutes enacted.
It Is natural at such a rustic move
ment that Washington should be
specializing as to the meaning of the re-
cent requirement by Senator Arthur Cap
per Of Kansas, OF three important farm
weeklies in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michi-
gan. 1t augments the Capper string of
papers-dailies, weeklies and monthlies-
to nearly a score and extends the sphere

that Senator Capper aspires to outrival
