CHICAGO, Ill, September 1S.-The

the Republicans if they ar 20 win in

is of vital interest no less to the
Democrats and the Indepe ndent Pro-

ballots. SO the farmers and the live

carloads of cattle-are being ques

farm products having improved feel
ing of these farmers toward the ad
ministration appears to be ex-
aggerated. to say the least, in many
cases. 1t is too early yet To make
predictions as to what the farmers
as a class are going to do. But this
much may be said, the present in
crease in farm produce prices has
given some of the farmers hope, and
without the increase, the cause of
Republican would have been des-
perate case, indeed, in much of this
territory.
Farmers Anger Unabated.
A large number of these farmers
have voted the Republican ticket in
the past. They are in a mood to lash
out against the party in power, and
in SO doing they are turning TO La
Toilette, rather than to the Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency
For one thing, they have been Re
publicans too long to join the Demo-
cratic party, and for another they re-
member that the defiation of the
farmers was started in 1920 by the
Democratic administration and con-
tinued under the Republicans. who
came into power in 1921. The Repub-
Gcan campaign managers have big
job ahead of them to get these farm
erS into line to vote for Coolidge and
Dawes. Or even to get some of them
to the polls. Republicans are seeking
to stem the tide of revolt among the
farmers by citing items in the La
Toilette platform which are distaste-
full to many of the farmers. including
government Ownership of the rail-
roads and the onslaught on the courts.
turther, they are emphasizing the
legislation enacted by the Republi-

A great deal mas been written and

the farmers due to increased prices

PARIS. September 1s-Premier
Ferriot of France narrowly escaped
injury in Marseilles last night when
300 Communists, swinging canes and
sticks and shouting Amnesty" made
"a determined effort to surround and
mob the premier in the Rue Came
diere, the main thoroughfare of the
southern city, members of the pre-
mier's party disclosed today on his
arrival here.
NJ. Herriot was rescued from the
excited crowd only after the police,
who arrived belatedly upon the scene,
had forced back the Communists and
dispersed the gathering.
The premier ran into the hostile
gathering because of his lnslStence
that he be permitted to walk through
the streets of the city. When he
landed from torpedo boat. which
lad brought him from the warShip
la Provence, from the deck of which
he had witnessed great naval re-
view, he refused to enter a limou-
sine which awaited him at the wharf
il was more fitting, he said, that a
democratic premier should walk.
Given Big Ovation.
His progress from the water front
through the Rue Cannebiere was a
continuous ovation. the crowds be-
coming denser and greater as he
walked farther into the city. He was
loudly acclaimed and congratulated
for his democratic demeanor. and
great cheers came up from the peo-
pie as he stopped to shake hands
with the common people and sailors
Suddenly there rushed from a side
street Il fairly compact group, eSti-
mated to number about 200 persons,
composed of representatives of the
Younger element in the Communist
party. They were swinging their
hats a the ends of their canes and
sticks and shouting Amnesty"
Surround Premier.
The manifestants maneuvered
flank movement and soon had the
premier surrounded, unable TO. make,
further advance and unable to extri-
cate himself from the hostile Gordon.
The sticks were swung dangerously
close to his head and the attitude OF
the shouting communists was any
thing but reassuring.
The premier was pale, but he re-
manned cool and collected amid the
uproar and in the face of the pur-
nosefully swung canes until a be-
lated police charge scattered the
crowd and permitted him to enter a
passing automobile in which he pro-
ceeded to the railway station and
boarded a train for Paris.
The Partisan morning papers did
not mention the incident today, but
all of the afternoon papers tell the
story. recounting it with interpreta-
tions in accordance with their vari-
Gus political policies.
Amnesty was one Of the main
pldnkS of NJ. Herriot's electoral plat

IN RELIGIOUS RIOTING
Indian Foreign Secretary Advised
of Casualties in Kohat-City
Quiet Restored.

By the Associated Press.
SIMLA. Punjab September 1S.-For-
eign Secretary Bray declared today
in the legislative assembly that the
latest information from kohat, north
west frontier province, indicated that
81 persons had been killed and 115
injured during the rioting September
8 and 10.
The latest list of casualties is po-
licemen injured, 20 Hindus killed and
Sc injured, and II MoSlemS killed and
% injured. The city is now quiet.
The origin of the rioting at kohat
was ascribed to the circulation of a
pamphlet which was declared to have
been considered insulting to the holy
places of the Moslems. Military as
sistance had to be summoned to quell
the disturbances.
