Senator Gerald p. Nye, Republi
can Independent of North Dakota
last night announced his support O
Herbert Hoover for president efte
having a personal conference wit
the Republican candidate.
Senator Nye's statement said:
1T has not been easy to enter int
the national campaign with enthusi
asm or any expectation of any gai
for the agricultural cause. Farr
states have been feeling that tn
thing the Republican party needle
was whipping Of the Northwest I
the end that we might win a bette
hearing in future Republican plat
forms making and nominating con
ventions. but the choice offered b,
the Republican opposition was n
choice at all.
Effective farm legislation seeme
to be beyond the desires Of eac'
party. until Mr.. Hoover made hi
speech of acceptance. Here was
ray of hope darkened, however, b,
the fact that Republican farm prom
lses OF recent years never develope
into anything more than promises.

more particularly with reference t
the farm problem. was so far fror

ence to the same question that m
desire at once became one of con
ferring personally with Mr.. Hoove
to ascertain how sincere was tn
language contained in his speec
Of acceptance. Since the conference

pressed belief that the agriculture
problem is our first problem Of tn
next administration and of his de
termination to solve it, have n
longer the slightest doubt, an
knowing Mr.. Hoover's ability an
past accomplishments am sure tha
It he devotes himself as I am con
