Somerset Most Cordial to
Republican Campaigners
Believe President
Considering Farm
Relief at Dec. Session

Paul Smiths, n. Y, Sept. s.-(Pl-
Additional evidence that President
Coolidge was considering the agricul-
tural question and might make some
move in the short session of Congress
to strengthen the cooperative market
ing movement was seen today when w.
l. Drummon of Kansas City, Mo-,
chairman of the American Farm Con-
gress. announced during a visit to the
summer White House that his organ
ization had submitted draft of a
cooperative marketing bill to Mr.. Cool
idge and so congressman.
Described as somewhat similar to
the measure introduced in the closing
days of the last session by Senator
Tess, Republican, Ohio, but defeated
notwithstanding the endorsement of
Mr.. Coolidge, the measure would pro-
vide government financial assistance
to cooperatives in way that, it was
said,' would leave the initiative and
management to the farmers.
While the views of the president to-
ward the proposal were not revealed.
Mr.. Drummond, who represents an or
ganization described as non-partisan,
concerned only with research and cd
ucational farm problems, and the sec
ond oldest agricultural organization in
the country. declared any complaints
that Mr.. Coolidge does not understand
the farm problem or does not intend
to do all he can to help are unfair. The
president. Mr.. Drummond emphasized,
understands the question as it now is
and is very much in earnest.
Mr.. Drummond. who was invited
here by Mr.. Coolidge to discuss the
agricultural question generally, ex-
pressed his opposition to the McNary
bill which was defeated at the recent
session of Congress. and opposed some
features of the Fess measure. but said
the government should assist the
farmers in disposing of surplus crops.
Mr.. Drummond said his bill permit
ted the farmers to handle the situation
themselves with government assist
ancc.
The Tess bill. he explained. provid-
ed a government board to get the CO.
operatives together and organize them.
1t placed the initiative and the respon-
siblity on the government, he added,
rather than on the farmers, where
both should rest.

OF the Washington government to-

1t was made after the president

had considered other elements in the
situation, such as the request of the
knights of Columbus for any proper
action by the United States to ame-

public.

Chebeague in the lower harbor. The
sea gull is capable of speed of 80
miles an hour and at the insistence
of his aged passenger aviator Jones
had thrown the throttle wide open.
Spectators crowded the runway at

flight started and ended, and as the

to them: ut was wonderful ride.
