Taught vigorously by Chairman Cum
Minis and other leaders on the inter

been openly opposed % the Capper bill
for months. Last winter. when farm

II was pointed ont tonight that 70

embarrassing 10 numerous Senators.
In the recent Senatorial primaries In
Iowa Colonel Smith Brookhart. who
won the Republican nomination for the

opposition TO the h-Cummins law.
lie demanded its repeal and the enact

North Dakota. where Senator McCum-
Der was beaten, one OF the chief
grounds Of attack on him by Lynn J.
Frazier was MeCumber's support OF the
Esch-Cummins law.
