Oran0 FORKS, N ~, Oct. Z7.-(Hl
Belief that Herbert Hoover has
given up hope Of carrying the agri-
CULTURAL west and now IL concentrat-
ing his appeal to the industrial east
was expressed here today by F. w.
Mclean, secretary Of the state Dem
ocratic committee. This belief, Nc
Lean said, IL reached after reading
Hoover's recent speech in New York
City.
"Ths only deduction that can be
made from the Hoover Madison
Square Garden speech" Mclean
paid, lis that Mr.. Hoover has def
Initely given up his campaign in the
agricultural west and is now making
his bid wholly for support in the in
hustrial east. -
when he characterized the Nc
Nary-Haugen bill rs state socialism
and offered in its place to lend
agriculture moro money, to stabilize
Its industry and increase its debt,
already more than burdensome, he
has plainly shown that his Sym
pathy with the agricultural Distress
was faxed solely for campaign pur-
poses. He described the beautiful
md happy lives Of tho industrial

Hoover Talk Quoted.
In seven years we have added 70
per cent to the electric power at the
elbow Of our workers and further
promoted them from carriers Of
burdens to directors Of machines.
We have steadily reduced the sweat
In human labor. Our hours Of labor
are lessened; our leisure has in
creased; we have expanded our parks
and Fairgrounds. We have nearly
doubled our attendance at games.
We pour into outdoor recreation in
every direction. The visitors at our
national parks have trebled, and we
have increased the number Of sports
men fishing our streams and lakes.
But listen to this: We still have
great problem il we would achieve
the full economic advancement Of
our country. In these past seven
years some groups in our country
have Jagged behind others in the
march Of progress.
4 refer particularly to those in
the textile, coal and agricultural in
dustries. We shall need to advance
initial capital to assist them to sta
bilize their industry.
Farmers Debts Increased
I'm other words to the farmers
debts are added more debts. to the
farmers burdens are added more
burdens. take it we must be made
hewers of wood and drawers Of
water; our hours Of labor are not to
be lessened, our leisure not to be
Increased, the beauty Of the parks
and Fairgrounds are not for US, and
We are not expected to increase the
lumber Of sportsmen, nor to take
up room at the fishing streams.
Can you imagine anything more
eruel than the manner in which Mr..
Hoover has dashed the hopes Of his
supporters in this state? l wonder
how they feel about it? Where does
Senator Nye find a leg to stand
upon? ! wonder what Jim Sinclair
thinks Of it. These two have tried
to lull North Dakotans into the
strange faith that Mr.. Hoover would
prove better than Coolidge. Did
they really believe it, or was it just
that they did not know Mr.. Hoover
any better than the rest Of us? /
wonder what has become Of the
secret understanding between SEN
ltor Nye and Hoover % to Hoover's
farm relief program. or is it no
longer secret?
If Senator Nye and Congressman
Sinclair still identify themselves
with the farmers Of North Dakota,
then they must be just what Mr..
Hoover called the rest Of us because
we favor equality for agriculture,
Mere Reds and Socialists
"Unless / am greatly mistaken in
the temper Of the North Dakota
farmer, Mr.. Hoover, Mr.. Nye and
Mr.. Sinclair will get their answer
1T the ballot box on November g."
