ROBINSON HURLS
FARM CHALLENGE.
Calls for Hoover to Speak for
Himself on Special SeS-
sion Controversy.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
EN- ROUTE WITH SENATOR ROB-
INSON TO DULUTH, Mimi, october
26.-Herbert Hoover stood challenged
by Senator Joe T. Robinson today "to
speak for himself regarding state
ment by Gov. Adam McMullen of Ne
braska that the Republican candidate
intended to call a special session of
Congress to deal with the farm prob
lem. Senator Robinson also demanded
that Mr. Hoover tell the people in
plain language Just what his farm relief
plan really is. >"
The Democratic vice presidential
nominee issued his challenge in a
speech at Fargo, N. OAK, last night be-
fore an audience which gave him a pro-
longed ovation when he declared that
McMullen, to do his utmost for agri-
culture" was repetition of broken
promises made whenever running time
is near.
Not So Confident.
Reading the entire statement of the
Nebraska governor. carried yesterday by
the Associated Press, Senator Robinson
quoted McMullen as having said he be-
lieved in Mr.. Hoover's ability to solve
the agricultural problem and added:
THE governor says he has confidence
In Mr.. Hoover'S promises. I decline to
take that attitude. I respectfully refuse
to have confidence in Mr.. Hoover'S
promises.
miniStration which has repeatedly
broken its promises to the farmer that
they would do their utmost for agricul-
ture-why, that is just what they said
in 1920 and repeated it in 1924. The
very fact that the Republican platform
of 1928 repeats again the language of
1874 is proof sufficient that they have
not kept their promises.
I'm contrast to that, note what the
gallant leader of the Democrats in this
campaign says. He says he will call a
meeting of farm leaders Immediately
after his election to frame bill along
the lines of the McNary-H -Haugen bill.
He accepts the proposition that the
surplus is the key to the situation and
the principle that the cost of marketing
surplus crops should be distributed over
the units benefited thereby"
Crowd Is Enthusiastic.
The Fargo address was received more
enthusiastically than any Senator Rob-
inson has made on his Western tour,
including his Sioux City, Iowa, speech,
which was applauded generously. He
was cheered when he renewed his
chrage that Hoover was instrumental in
fixing the price of wheat after the
war and again when he attacked
Hoover for as Mr. Robinson phraSed 1t,
"denouncing the McNary-Haugen bill
aS socialism"
Travelling eastward through north
central Minnesota today, Senator Rob-
inson was on his way to Duluth, where
he win make speech tonight. Satur-
day night he will speak over an extern
sive radio hook-up at Des Moines, which
he expects will be his major effort in
the area in which farm relief has been
the big issue.
