FARMERS ARE
INSISTING ON
RELIEF PLANK
Sorlie Serves Notice Agricul-
ture Must Be Given Fair
Consideration

Kansas City, Mo-, June 12.-R-
Farmers are insistent that they
shall be permitted to write the farm
relief plank in the Republican plat
form, Minnesota farm organization
leaders said today.
]. F. Reed, president Of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau federation.
said agricultural interests could not
accept a plank on farm relief writ
ten by eastern financial interests" I"
Zone cannot expect the farmers
to be satisfied with a farm plank
written by industry any more than
Industry would be satisfied with an
industrial plank written by farm
ers." he said.
Farm relief men, he continued,
are more interested in the platform
than in the candidate, although they
want some one sympathetic with the
principals of farm relief. Mr.. Reed
said there was no agitation among
farm organization leaders for a
third party, although he predicted
that in the event the Republican
platform omits an adequate" plank
on farm relief, thousands of farm
ers will vote in the Democratic
column next fall.
North Dakota's motor caravan of
protesting farmers, which started
out with nineteen automobiles from
jamestown, headed by Governor A.
G. Sorlie, ended in a two-section ar
rival in Kansas City Monday night
and early today. Governor Sorlie
came in first and was followed a
few hours later by seven cars. The
remaining eleven of the original
nineteen trailed in much later.
Minnesotans interested in con-
vention activities but outside the
charmed circle of delegates and al
ternates, used many unusual meth
DDS of gaining admittance to the
convention hall, offering their serv-
ices in any role from messenger
boy to third assistant door keeper.
AS usual, the demand for tickets
exceeded the supply.
Sorlie Makes Statement
Governor Sorlie of North Dakota,
upon his arrival here, made a brief
statement to the effect that North
Dakota delegates and protesting
farmers are here to serve notice that
agriculture must be given proper
consideration next fall.
Frank. w. Murphy, Of Wheaton,
one Of the Minnesota delegates, is
helping to write the farm relief
plank which agricultural organiza-
tions will present to the resolutions
committee as satisfactory to agri-
culture. The first draft probably
will be completed today, Mr.. MUIR
ply said.

Pneumonia at Rest Camp.

VICTORVILLE, Cal, Oct g.
Larry Semon, noted screen come
dian, died at the Garcelon ranch
near here early today.
Death was caused by pneu-
monia which he contracted while
he was attempting to recover from
a nervous breakdown. His wife,
Dorothy Dawn, the actress, was at
his bedside when he died.
Semons body will be brought
here today and will be removed to
Hollywood Tuesday for funeral ser
vices.
The death of the comedian was
not unexpected. Two weeks ago it
was said that he might not recover
from his breakdown. When pneu-
monia set in last week his death
became a matter of days.
With the exception of one brief
and fairly successful venture into
the world Of cartooning, Semon al
ways was connected with SHOW
folks"
He was born in West Point, Mo,
in 1889. His parents were troupers
and were playing in that city at
the time. During his childhood,
young Semon took small parts in
shows in which his father was fea-
tured.
While attending school in Sa-
vannah, Ga. Semon began cartoon
ing. He gained considerable repu-
tation in this line and screwed OH
several New York newspapers.
He discontinued this profession
to become an actor and directot
with the old Vitagraph Company
Most of his early efforts were
slapstick comedies. Later he
turned to heavier comedy and Still
later he attempted to produce hi
own pictures.
THE Wizard of o." which was
to have been his greatest effort
was a financial failure and ended
his career as a producer. Last
March he filed a petition of bank
ruptcy and soon after he suffered q
nervous breakdown.
