Following conference with Hoover
yesterday afternoon B. F. Yoakum of
New York. lifelong Democrat and head
of the Empire Bond g. Mortgage Co,
said he was supporting the Republican
nominee because of his sympathy for
the farmer.
Since Gov Smith and the leaders
of my own party" he said. seem to
have embraced McNary- Haugenism,
which I consider the most dangerous,
fallacious and impractical measure pro-
posed in this generation, and since they
present no practical plan, I feel duty
bound to throw my support to Mr..
Hoover, and this believe will be the
conclusion which will be reachc by the
vast majority of the thinking farmers
of this country"
