SPY GLASS
FOCUSED ON
IOWA POLLS
If BrOOkhart Wins Republic
an Nomination 1t Will
Be a Slap for Cal.
FARM RELIEF AT STAKE
Weather Is Clear, but Light
Vote Is Predicted.

BIZ United Press
DES MONIES, Iowa, June T.
With administration control OF the
State hanging in balance, Iowa went
TO the polls today to nominate Re-
publican and Democratic candidates
for the Senate.
Former Senator Smith w. Brook.
hart, radical, ousted by the Senate
recently as a result of an election
contest with Senator Daniel w.
Steck, is opposing Senator Albert B.
Cummins, administration supporter.
The race is complicated by the can
didacies of Howard j. Clark, com
promise" candidate, ana Dan B.
Reardon, wet.
Claude r. Porter and J. Ray Files
are running for the Democratic
nomination.
BY far the outstanding vote con-
test is the fight between Senator
Cummins and Brookhart. Both
claim to be champion Of farm re-
lief, a stand which is necessary to
popularity in agricultural Iowa. But
on virtually every other question
these two are at odds-Cummins be-
ing a conservative Republican" and
Brookhart, one of the foremost of
the middle western ''progressives.
Victory for Brookhart, therefore,
would be looked upon as a sharp re-
verse to the Coolidge Administra-
ton. And, N the minds of many
political observers, it might mean a
complete change Of heart on the part
Of Congress and bring about a flood
of sympathy toward farm relief Leg
islation which President Coolidge
has opposed.
Cummins has long been con-
sidered one of the most powerful
champions of the farmer in the Sen
ate and if he Is turned down by
Iowa Republicans in favor of Brook
hart, other Senators are expected to
take such a result as an indication
of just how far the farm vote stands.
Clark of Des Moines is expected
to cut heavily into the Cummins
vote in some of the sections former
ly considered Cummins' strongholds.
Weather was clear in most sec
tions of Iowa today, but light vote
was forecast. The late spring has
made it necessary for farmers to
take advantage of every favorable
day and they may go to their fields
instead of the polls.
