BID FOR FARM
VOTE PLANNED
BY DEMOCRATS
Leaders EIated by Corn
Belts 0. K. of Party
Platform.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 18.-Demo-
cratic leaders here turned their at
tention today toward a definite
campaign for the farm vote. highly
elated over the corn belt commit
tees approval Of the agricultural
plank in the party platform.
The strategy of this campaign
was expected to be one of the chief
considerations of the conference to-
day among John j. Raskob, national
committee chairman; Senator Gerry
Of Rhode Island, advisory commit
tee chairman, and Col. Herbert II.
Lehman, finance director of the ma
tional committee.
Those leaders will map out final
campaign plans at the conference,
discussing regional headquarters,
advisory committee activity and the
nationwide financing scheme call
ing for voluntary finance directors
in each State and territory, as an
nounced by Lehman.
Organize War Chest
Democrats probably will consider
the farm situation particularly in
allocating campaign funds.
In announcing his financing plan.
Lehman said he could not say yet
how much would be sent into vari-
Gus sections.
The finance director wired each
member Of the national committee
and asked recommendation for one
or more men and women in each
State and territory TO organize il
for contributions to the party's war
chest. He will coordinate the &C
tivities Of this enlarged finance
committee.
No limit has been fixed on the
amount of individual contributions.
Lehman said, and he declined to
estimate how much the party would
need in its campaign. The Repub-
leans have fixed their limit at
( $1,000 600.
Fight on Every Front
The financing plan is in keeping
with the Democratic intention 90
carry the fight to every front.
Il consider every State in the
East, West and North, with few ex-
ceptions, debatable ground" Leh-
man said.
In the effort to capture the farm
vote, eDmocratic leaders are ex-
pected to set up one important
regional headquarters in the acri-
cultural section or in touch with the
agricultural section and the South
west. Both st. Louis and Denver
have been mentioned. Announce
ment of regional headquarters is eX-
pected after the conference today.
Elated by Corn Belt Vote
Democratic leaders here did not
conceal their citation over the action
of the cor nbelt committee, made up
as it is Of many Republicans. The
committee reaff1rmed its support Of
the N1cNary- Haugen bill. The
Democratic platform did not men
ton the bill or its heart, the So
called equalization fee, but defined
the fee without naming it.
Senator Key Pittman of Nevada,
chairman of the platform commit
tee at the Houston convention and
largely responsible for the final form
of the farm plank, saw it today the
hope of many Democratic farm
votes in November.
I'VE will get 80 to 40 per cent Of
the regular Republican farm vote in
November" he said.
