GOVERNORS FOR
FARM RELIEF
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich.
July 25.-The controversial issue
of farm relief, which already mas
caused partial split in both major
parties, injected itself today into
the annual conference of governors
certain its being one of the domi-
nant political issues in the 1928
presidential campaign.
The chief executives of two dozen
States had hardly settled in their
seats here today for their annual
conclave before they were RECALLED
with ringing speech from Gov
ernor John Hammill CR.l, of Iowa,
in which he warned his conserva-
tive colleagues from the East that
either the farmers of the country
are going to obtain relief or they
are going to wreak havoc with poll.
teal party lines.
Addressing directly those COVER.
nors representing populous indus.
trial States of the East that profit
by a high protective tariff, the
Iowa insurgent said:
Politics Thrown Aside
''In my part of the country the
people have been counted on as
supporters of the protective tariff.
can sum up the present tariff
attitude in the statement that we
want a method through which
tariff schedules can be made ef-
fective as applied to our main cash
crops. The Western farmers in
the future will study the tariff
as they never have done in the
past and win exert their influ-
ence in the direction which they
determine to be for their best in
terests regardless Of their past
political and economic affiliations"
Pausing to let that sink in, the
Iowa Governor continued with an
out-and-out plea for the McNary-
Haugen Bill. which was passed by
the last Congress and vetoed
promptly by President Coolidge.
No Eastern Advice Wanted
1t Is useless. Gov. Hammill de-
clared, for Eastern capitalists and
economists to give lofty advice to
Western agriculturalists to shift
| from crop to crop. for he declared
I that no such formula will solve
! the problem. In substantiation, he
cited the experience of the South
in going in for hog production. 1t
