HAMMILL GIVES
PARTY'S CHOICE
ENDORSEMENT
Declares Republican Nominee
Has Farm Relief Plan That
Will Aid Agriculture

Aboard Hoover Train, Omaha,
Neb., July 1s.-R-A prediction
that Herbert Hoover will offer a
plan of farm relief more practical
and intelligent than any heretofore
advanced was made today by Gov
ernor John Hammill of Iowa after
a conference with the Republican
presidential candidate aboard the
special train.
This is the message which the
governor said he would take to the
Republican state convention today at
Des Moines to which city he is to
fly by airplane from Council Bluffs,
to address the state political gather
ing.
After half an hours conference
with Hoover during ride between
Missouri Valley and Council Bluffs,
Governor Hammill declared that the
Farmer has in Hoover "a real cham
pion." "When his final explanation
of his platform is made it will chal-
lenge the admiration of all those in
terested in agriculture and the ma
tion as WE'LL" Hammill said. Asked
upon what he based this conclusion
the governor said he believed the
G. 0. P. standard bearer was going
ito be specific and is going to have
relief program that is worth
while"
Farm Relief First
"I can speak with a knowledge
that is specific" he said. "Mr.
Hoover is going to make farm relief
the first principle of his administra-
tion. He regards it both as moral
and positive obligation to the party
and Of himself. He recognized that
there is problem and that it is an
obligation upon the whole people" !"
"The farmers are going to have
faith in, Hoover and his program.
In my Judgment he--iy going to
offer plan more sound and intelli-
gent than any yet offercrd to the
American people"
Gov. Hammill said he would deliver
this message to the convention in
much more elaborate form, explain
ing that he would outline the defin-
ite things which Hoover would pre-
sent in his acceptance speech at
Palo Alto, Calf, on August IL.
The govern. conceded that the
equalization fee had been definitely
thrown into the discard, but he de-
clared emphatically that the farm
leaders of Iowa were surrendering
no principle ard no cause, but were
agreed that there were more ways
than one by which the agricultural
problem could be solved.
Iowa for Hoover
Finally the Governor predicted
that Iowa would go for Hoover by q
majority Of at least 100000. After
his conference with the candidate,
Governor Hammill issued this state
ment on the action Of the corn belt
committee recently in commencing
the Republican farm plank:
"The corn belt committee which
met in Des Moines, composed large
~ Of Democratic leaders, passed q
series Of resolutions from which it
appears they believed the Demo-
cratic party, Governor Smith and
Mr.. Raskob, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic national committee, have
promised them the equalization fee
1T is important to the people of
Iowa to knoy. whether, the corn belt
committee vas any assurance from
Governor Smith or Mr.. Raskob upon
which to base their action.
"The corn belt committee. Mr..
Smith and fr. Raskob owe it to the
people Of Iowa to clear up this
question"

the 40-mile front from Fonteboy
to Chateau Thierry, which was be.
gun back on July 18, 1918, and
which pushed all the German troops
beyond the Marne, by the goth.
"This anniversary is worthy Of
profound reflection" he went on,
because the movement always will
be associated with this date. The
Germans had opened breach and
Paris once again was threatened
when in this grave hour American
forces, fresh and full Of fight for
freedom, came to the aid Of their
war-worn comrades. Together we
put forth almighty effort, with the
will to win and the capacity for
sacrifice. In our. struggle, we
forged bonds Of friendship which
must never be broken. It is happy
for us to recall these bonds.

STATE THRILL
Carries Cargo Worth $780,.
600 in Marathon from Pa.
cific to Atlantic

North Dakota thrilled today to a
romance Of The fascinating business
Of transportation as a freight train
speeded over its prairies in q sea-
board to seaboard race bearing
eleven cars of silk valued at more
than $2,5oo,oco.
Guarded by federal custom men
the silk train was handled from
Dickinson to jamestown in 4 hours
and as minutes running as the first
section of No. 2, the east bound
Comet.
Switchmen, telegraph operators
train dispatchers, agents at little
rural stations, trainmen and engine
men responded to the thrill Of the
race and did their bit to cut seconds
from transcontinental freight
record.
A careening locomotive passing in
q majestic flash Of steel, whirling
, along at a speed faster than the
fastest scheduled passenger, q trail
of yellow smoke, q shower Of red
hot cinders, an engineer-cap pulled
low-eyes ever on the steel path
made the booming train a superb
action picture.
| Only water stops were made. All
day today and all night tonight the
race will continue with the speeding
cargo we'll down the Burlington river
division and through the Twin Cities
terminal maze by daylight tomorrow
morning and speeding to New York
on a rock-ballasted double-track
road bed equipped from terminal to
terminal with the electric block sig
nal system.
Engineer Jones Of Jamestown took
the train out Of the Mandan term
inal this morning. 1t passed Bis
marck at $40.
Over the entire Northern Pacific
system the silk train held the right
Of way over all trains.
Cargo From Japan
The cargo it bore originated in ia
pan, crossed the Pacific in a boat Of
the Maru line, was loaded in spe-
cially equipped cars at the Seattle
docks and started its race to New
York and Paris less than 36 hours
ago.
A toiling fireman wiped a grimy
brow with q gauntlet glove wrist at
11:15 today as the silk train speeded
into the jamestown yards, 2 hours
and IS minutes after it left Bis
marck. He was humming happily
to himself:
Casey Jones was a good engineer,
He said to his fireman:
Have no fear.
All you need to do is to
Shove in the coal,
While I sit up and watch
Them drivers roll'."
The silk train was on time to the
second. The train crew heaved q
sigh Of relief. They had carried

traditions Of the railrod game.

today to curb disorder.
Censorship was in force. Police
and soldiers patrolled the streets Of
the capital and the roads Of the sur

prepared for an emergency, all
troops b-ing ordered to barracks
and held in readiness in case Of dis

bounds only by police precautions.
The headquarters Of Luis Morones,
secretary of labor and Obregon's
greatest political opponent, were
surrounded by q guard at the in
stance Of President Gales, who
feared that there might be some at
tempts at violence.

The assassin gave only the name
