Senator Brewster is reported in the press as having
stated that he will reply to Democratic questions
during the campaign and that he will discuss the Issue.

platform is absolutely silent on the Khan ISSUE Il

the agitation which produced Senator Brewsters nom,

Because of this fact and because it is known to ali
that up to date Senator Brewster stands in the
public eye the kan candidate for Governor We have
asked him a simple and pertinent question: which in
justice to himself and the public he should answer.
We repeat It.

The county meeting held in this
city yesterday for the consideration
Of farm relief measures was not large
Iy attended. While the seasonable
weather for spring work was response
BILE in a large measure for this light
attendance, one could not but be inn
pressed with the idea that interest in
the meeting was lacking on the part
of the farmers because they did not
see in it the production of quick re-
sults-returns on which they might
cash in right now. If our law makers
could only see and understand the
reason for this attitude, there would
be less quibbling about schemes for
cheaper farm loans and similar no
tons which mean procrastination.
On the other hand, the farmers must
realize that the panaceas they seek
are far-reaching in their effect and
they cannot be brought into being in
\ day. The patience of all must be
strained yet little more, ere the Me-
Nary Haugen bill or other relief plans
become actualities.
