OMAHA, Nebr.. March 31.--With the

parties appear more seriously interested
In the local contests between Attorney
General o. S. Spillman and United

nomination, and in the contest between

strenuous effort by radio talks and
frequent interviews to advance the in
terest of the McNary- -Haugen agri-
cultural wing of the party. While the
group is not by any means whole
hearted for Senator Norris as candi-
date for President they await him ex-
pectantly early In April to turn the
tide In their favor. He is coming also,
so 1t Is given out to speak for Senator
Howell, but the friends Of Spillman in
sist his voice will be muted on the local
contest.
Old guard candidates for Republican
delegates are confining their efforts to
a still hunt for votes and are throwing
their support quite generally to Spill
man because he has been rather pro-
gressive as an official and now is oppos-
ing the Norris-Howell coalition Their
complete success would mean II votes
presumably for Hoover or any accept
able candidate for President. whom the
administration forces should favor.
The Democrats are unitedly for
former Senator Hitchcock. save that in

REED OPENS STUMP |
TOUR OF WISCONSIN
Missourian Attacks Hoover
for Wheat Prices Paid
Farmers in War.


MILWAUKEE,, March 31.--Invading
Wisconsin on the eve of the States
Democratic presidential primary. Sena-
tor Reed OF Missouri, In a speech here
tonight, blamed the Republican party
for the postwar plight OF American
farmers. He centered his attack par
ticularly on Herbert Hoover. contend
ing that As food administrator during
the war he held down the price paid
farmers for their wheat.
Congress never gave to Herbert
Hoover or any other man the right to
limit the price to which wheat might
go above $500" said the Missouri
presidential candidate. but Congress
did, unfortunately. give to that distin-
guished expatriate the power to license
all dealers In grain and all millers.
without that license they could not do
business. Hoover possessed the power
of life and death over these dealers and
millers.
He notified every grain dealer In
the United States that IL they paid
more than $3.50 per bushel his license
to transport business would be revoked
and his business thereby destroyed. He
notified every miller that he must buy
from the grain dealers and at the stipu-
lated minimum price, plus a small dill
ferential of profit.
"The Export Grain Corporation was
formed, and no wheat could be ship
ped abroad save through 1t, and that
corporation. dominated by Mr.. Hoover
and In obedience to his demands, fixed
the same price for export grain as he
had fixed In the domestic market. The
result was that no farmer had any
place he could sell wheat. except at
the price arbitrarily fi:;cd by Mr.. Hoo
YER.
Nov come the spokcsnen for MIR.
Hoover and charge that it was the
Wilson administration that fixed the
price of grain. The Wilson adninistra-
ton did nothing of the kind. 1t guar
anteed the minimum price. Congress
never authorized the fixing OF a max
imum price"

SHUN THIRD PARTY
Minnesota Group Willing to
Put Norris in Field as
Own Candidate.
Special Dispatch TO The star.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, March 81
The Farmer Labor party of Minnesota,
which has furnished the chief opposi-
tion to the Republican party in this
State for eight years, refuses to be
drawn into the national third party
movement revived last Sunday at Chi
c3go. but Is willing to put Senator
George w. Norris In the field as its
own candidate for President, with a
set of presidential electors, IL he will
consent to run as the third party can
didate. This was the decision Of the
Farmer-Labor Association, which is the
militant branch of the Farmer-Labor
party. at its convention this week
Er1issaries OF two different national
third party movements were on hand
and appealed to the Minnesota gath

country. 1t Is regarded as the key"
State for any such movement, but its

The fact is that every time a ma
tional movement has made its appear
ance in this part of the country, Com
munists have stepped into it and have
given 1t such an ultra-red tinge that
ordinary Progressives have been fright

on working independently and this was
resented by third party voters. who still
blame the La Toilette campaign for
their defeat In the Minnesota State
election that year.
A regional conference of 10 States
was called by the Minnesota organiza-

vention. Few of the invited delegates
from other States appeared, but sew

that Minnesota is not with them in

that it was only for the purpose of

RECOVERY CHECKED

Soft Spots Found in the In.

BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK, June 20.-The advance
in call money rates to per cent and
firmer tone to both time money and
bank acceptances had tendency to
check the recovery in some of the high
grade issues today. There were num-
Der of soft spots in the industrial list.
The market was quiet, with small
volume of trading both on the board
and over the counter Some improve
ment has taken place in the demand
for taX-exempt issues following the
decline of nearly i. in State and muni-
cipal bonds that were i'll favor two
months ago. Insurance companies ard
savings banks have been buyers of them.
Now that the public is again pretty
we'll out of the stock market, it is eX-
pected that savings bank deposits will
overbalance Withdrawals and that these
institutions may have the normal
amount of funds TO invest.
Disbursement TO BE Heavy.
So far there is little evidence of an
ticipation the July dividend and inter-
est disbursements, although there will be
greater than ever before This is due
to feeling that bonds may slip off still
further before the middle OF August
and that there will be higher rates for
money in the next two weeks, which
would affect bond prices.
New low prices for the year were
reached today on U. S. Rubber and
Lorillard 5s. Both were off sharply. the
former 20 points under the high of the
year and the latter over points. These
movements follow the weakness in the
stocks OF these companies which are,
in turn, affected by poor trade con-
ditions. Andes Copper rs advanced a
