Washington, May 17.-Opinion pre-
walls in political circles here that
pre-convention campaigns for Presi-
Dental nomination are based this
year almost solely upon personalities
rather than issues. When men, and
not issues, are at stake, bitterness
is bound to develop. This is evident
from the bs.ck-wash of the senatorial
quiz administered to Herbert Hoover
last week. The story is circulated in
the underground political channels of
the Capitol that the employment of a
special committee of senators was a
deal among the other Republican can
didates aimed directly at\Mr. Hoover.
1t is known that Vice President Dawes
is freely criticised and blamed for
the existence of this Investigating
committee prior to the convention.
The Hoover camp claims that the
Vice President expected to benefit by
the inquiry of the special senate COM
mittee because he is the best known
of the""dark horses. 1t is predicted
that the Republican convention will
be marked by wrangling and heated
debates before a candidate is chosen.
The Democrats, too, have their fam
lily troubles, and the Houston conven-
tion will be anything except ratifi-
cation meeting.
Hope to Clear Calendar.
The night sessions which have been
inaugurated by the senate are de-
signed to clear up the calendar be-
fore adjournment. 1t has not been de-
termined whether Congress will adj
journ on May 26 or June 6 The
house will hold night sessions Shortly
in order to wind up its affairs. The
filibusters are expected momentarily
to completely tie up all legislative
machinery. Night sessions of con-
gres have tendency to wreck social
life in Washington. Not even the
United States senators are free from
calls by the truant officer. Whenever
a demand is made on the floor of the
senate for a quorum and the absen-
tees are noted, the senate frequently

Farm Crops
Field Day is
To be July II

Wednesday, July IL, has been Sc
lected for the second annual Farm
Crops Field Day at University Farm.
The day will serve for an outing as
well as for its main purpose, which
is the study of plant breeding for new
and improved varieties, farm crops
variety testing, control of plant dis
eases, and cultural methods to get
the best results. Demonstrations in
seed cleaning and the use of seed
cleaning machinery will be new fea-
ture of the day.
The staff in charge of the farm is
prepared to carry out program, rain
or shine. Should the clouds open, a
substantial part of the subject
matter can be presented indoors.
Moving pictures and other entertain
ment will be provided. If the day is
fair, visitors and hosts will join in
a picnic dinner at noon, which will
be followed by short talks by Dean
w. C. Coffey, Andrew Boss, F. w.
Peck, ]. w. Evans of Montevideo, pres
ident of the Minnesota Crop Improve
ment association, and others. An
other feature will be the summer
meeting of the crop association.
Automobiles will be provided so far
as possible to take the visitors to
points of interest about the farm. A
year ago 500 persons helped to OBJ
serve the first field day, and as many
or more are expected this year.
Seedsmen of the state will make an
annual pilgrimage to University Farm

MISSOURI GOVERNOR IS
LOUD IN LAUDING HOOVER
Calls Him Great ConstruCtionist-
Says People of Farm States

Oklahoma City, Okla. Aug. 81 P
Discerning Herbert Hoover as
the greatest constructionist the
world ever has known. great bust
ness man who started poor, worked
hard and came up slowly" Governor
Sam A. Baker of Missouri. in an ad-
dress before the republican state
committee here today, declared the
people of the country were satisfied
with the republican presidential
candidates utterances on agrlcul-
ture and other problems.
The utterances of both our cam
didates on agriculture are entirely
room for doubt as to their SYM
pathy for the American farmer and
their desire to give him all the OPP
portunities of other Industries, he
said. Government must give to all
| square deal and we must be stead
| fast in our devotions to the prln-
ciples of good government
! Brlns>ag into his talk what was
taken to be an indirect reference to
the prohibition question. the Mis-
| sourian asked
! Are we to stand by Constltu-
tional government or is the nation
to cast the constitution into the
Junk heap and follow the dictates OF
people who think only OF what they
should put in their stomaChs? Is
America to drift along with mobs
and riots, and the attempt of every
individual to be a law unit himself,
or is she to think of the home, the
fireside and continue the develop
ment of a nation that loves its
homes.
THE republican party thinks
something of the constitution and
my plea would be to stand by that
constitution.
Touching on foreign relations
Governor Baker said America al
ways has held out the hand OF hon
est freedom, equality and generous
Ireciprocity to all nations and people
of the world.
