By DAVID NJ. CHURCH,

NEW YORK, June 25.~-''Wheat

dent"
BENJAMIN G. Marsh, Of the Farm.
efs' National Council, brought this
message to Democratic leaders to-
day out Of the sun-baked plains Of
the West.

particularly the wheat farmers.

farmers won't have him. They
don't feel very enthusiastic about
Governor Al Smith, either. I'm.
fortunately, the religious issue has
been raised and farmers are in.
clined to take this issue pretty
seriously. II Smith is nominated its
pretty certain that the farmers
most Of whom have a strong puri-
tanical strain-will cast their votes
for President Coolidge, whom they
regard more or less as a puritan.
THE Khan question has been
pretty well debated among the
farmers, and while there are many
proponents and opponents, the great
majority of the agriculturists would
prefer a candidate who is not d.
rectly involved in the Khan issue.
"McAdoo wouldt be acceptable 10
the farmers, but Governor Davis, of
Kansas, would be the most accept
able candidate, although 1t doesn't
appear ais though he had much Of
a chance. Senator Ralston, OF In
diana, might do"
The powers-to-be in this conven-
ton have their ears to the ground
for any storm warnings from the
farming areas and are quite pre-
pared to believe that Marsh may be
right when he says that wheat
will elect the next President" and
what's more, the powers-that-be are
ready to do anything reasonable in
order to appease the farmers, but
what will they do? Nobody knows,
ana although there are a hundred
or more plans being offered, it's
doubtful whether the convention
gets any further than incorporat-
ing q few kind words in its plat
form In behalf Of agriculture and
the farm.

Hughes stated today that he did
not believe either Dawes, Young or

drew up the report, could spare the
time from their political and bust

However, word from both the
