A Missioner TO the Farmers.

Senator Robinson's speech accepting
the Democratic nomination for Vice
President strikes an aggressive note
especially on the farm relief question
that is we'll suited 10 the conditions
Of the campaign and the region which
he represents on the national ticket
II is we'll expressed declaration OF
faith in the platform of the party and
o vigorous Pronunciation Of the short
cnmincs of the Republicans. In one
respect it goes outside of the lines thus
far laid down in the acceptance
speeches in that 1t becomes directly
personal in the accusation of Mr..
Hoover as an enemy of the farmer.
None OF the other three candidates
vino have recorded formally their will
ineness TO stand for the Offices for
which they we're named at Kansas City
and Houston went after" the opposi-
ton by specific name or charge.
There will doubtless be response in
rehuttal to Senator Robnsons sccusa-
ticn that Mr.. Hoover has consistently
opposed practical relief for the farmers
and his charge that the Republican
party failed in its discharge Of duty in
the matter Of legislation for the agri-
cultural interests. The story of the
enactment of the McNsry- Haugen bill
BY Congress at the last session contains
some chapters that may be brought to
light by Republican campaign speakers
r. throw some doubt upon the good
faith of those who, in the face of
an assured veto. pressed the measure
through. not primarily for the benefit
of the farmers but for the discontinue
Of the administration party.

Robinson adopts q strategically sound
position Speaking in the South, as a
Southerner he faces the unquestioned
fact that the people of that region are
not in harmony with the views and
purposes Of the candidate for President.

ton 10 revolt on this issue. So he says
that there has always been room in

differ as to the best means of promot-
ing temperance and Of suppressing the
traffic in alcoholic beverages" In this
phrase he offers comfort to those who
are at present disposed 10 doubt the
need Of regularity in the face OF a
candidacy which has revised the party
platform and has precipitated the pro-
hibition question as an acute issue.
1t is evident from the stress laid by
Senator Robinson in his speech upon
the agricultural question that his role
In the campaign is to be that of mis-
sioner In the farm belt. He has the
gift of orstory and he makes an i'm
pressive platform appearance. That he
will repeat throughout the South and
West his plea for support for the Dem
ocratic ticket In somewhat the same
terms as those employed in his Hot
: Springs address would seem TO be the
probable plan OF campaign. And In
that effort ne is certain TO make an i'm
preston.
