O. P. Administration Failed

MADISON, Wis, June 13 (By The
Associated Press) The present
national administration has LITERAL
ly turned its back upon the farmer" !"
Senator Robert M. LaFollette of
Wisconsin asserted In a. statement
made public today. He further de-
clared that the responsibility for the
failure of the sixty eighth congress
to meet a righteous demand from
the farmers for necessary and effec-
tive legislation will rest upon sPresi-
dent Coolidge"
His statement in part read:
THE sixty-eighth congress has adj
journed after voting down a resolu-
tion providing that the House and
senate should reassemble after the
national conventions, in order to
give immediate consideration to
measures providing for relief of ag-
riculture.
Those interests which demand
ship subsidies, tax reduction prof.
teers, railroad guarantees, fat oil
and land labs and other special
privilege legislation, make the argu-
ment that the farmer must pull him.

government can do by law would
prove of the slightest assistance.
This, In substance, is precisely the
argument address to congress by
President Coolidge in his first mes
sage.
1.-The truth is that the farmer is
suffering chiefly from artificial dis
advantages which have heretofore
been saddled upon his back by act
of congress or by the policies of the
executive branch of government. The
Esch- -Cummins railroad law of 1920
brought a gigantic freight rate in
crease, unprecedented in American
history, which has since made 1t inn
possible for farmers in many sec
tions to move their products to mar
ket at profit.
''The ruinous deflation" policy of
the same year, which. gained its au-
thority and had its origin in res

plunged thousands of farmers into
bankruptcy and has made credit un-

pany closed his summing up before
the condemnation commission in the
court house here yesterday after
noon.
The amount demanded by Mr..
English for his clients is consider
ably more than the ousted state
highway commission originally paid
for the land, which sum $3.50, 900
was returned to the state BY the
DopneH interests and the land re-
turned to them. Judge william

He told how the Donnell company

tive at Cleveland Convention
HoLLENDEN HOTEL, CLEvE-
LAND. June 13-If there's too much
Hell and Maria. in the coming ma
tional, campaign blame New Jersey.
Seldom has a delegation from the
state played so conspicuous a part
in a Republican national conven-
tion's work of selecting a man for
the ticket as did the thirty-one rep
resentatives here last night in the
closing scenes of the party's quad
rennial council.
New Jersey liked Brigadier Gen.
eral Dawes from the start of the
consideration of names for the vice.
presidential nomination. In the first
caucus of the delegates yesterday
morning they indicated that while
they would go along on the first bal
lot for Senator Borah If his name
went before the convention, the
choice of the majority was for
the reparations commissioner. All
of the delegates were not for
him but when the Idaho senator
was eliminated as an administration
choice Chairman Walter Edge cast
thirty-one votes for Dawes on the
first ballot in the convention. the
largest bloc of votes he received in
the afternoon from any one state.
They repeated on the second ballot
and then in the evening session had
the satisfaction of seeing almost the
entire convention swing to their
choice after former Governor Low
den had indicated he would not ac-
cept the second place on the ticket.
For the third time New Jersey
casts her thirty one votes for Gener-
al Dawes" declared Senator Edge on
the evening roll which settled the
results. The uniformed observer
might have been led to believe that
Dawes was a Jersey man from the
antics which the representatives of
the state on the Atlantic INDUCED in
as delegation after delegation swung
into line piling up the required 554
votes out of possible 110S.
| Having backed the general from
the start New Jersey went wild at
the success of the campaign and the
delegates led by Mr.. Edge, Quarter
master General Murray of Trenton,
Senator Woodruff OF Camden and
others stood on their chairs and

They rose and subsidized out of
their seats as each state vote adding
to the Dawes total was an
nounced. Senator Edge and Mrs.
Everett Colby .delegates-at-large,,
played a conspicuous part in the af-
fair. The former worked indefatig-
ably during the recess between the
afternoon and evening sessions lining
up other delegations and Mrs. Colby
was a factor in the early conferences
of the New Jersey delegates urging
them to get behind the picturesque
and outspoken brigadier general.
This has been a very successful
convention for the New Jersey senior
United States senator in various
ways.
But his best effort was on the clos
ing days. Knowing the advantage OF
advertising for the Coolidge ticket
by having It tied to a personality like
that of Dawes, the Atlantic City man
started out to win votes for him. In
this he ran counter to no less q
