many years Mr.. Coolidge has dis
approved a farm plan embodying the
equalization fee machinery for sur
plus crop control.
Whether there will be any farm
relief enacted this season now is un
to congress. The house and renatr
have a choice of repassing the bill
without the equalization fee. in the
hope Of winning presidential favor,
or Of attempting enactment Of the
measure as it stands by overriding
Ir. Coolidge's veto.
There is much doubt that the lat
ter course would prove successful.
The president vetoed the bill on
the grounds Of constitutionality and
because the "so-cailed equalization
fee and other features Of the old
measure are still prejudicial in my
opinion 70 sound public policy md
10 agriculture"
The veto draws the issue between
the president and the farm group IN
congress more tightly than IL ever
has been and, unless some further
action is taken az the capitol, viii
place the agricultural question be-
fore the coming presidential con-
ventions as an outstanding contro-
versy.
Frank q. Lowdcn is one Of the
bills most outspoken champions.
Vice President Dawes favors il aid
Senator Curtis OF Kansas and SEN
ator Watson OF Indiana have voted
for it.
Secretary Hoover has been regard
ed as standing with the president
on farm relief.
The senate would have 10 muster
q two-thirds vote to pass the bill
over Mr.. Coolidge's veto. This ses-
sion the senate passed it By vote
Of 5S TO %. or slightly more than
the necessary two-thirds. In the
house the measure was approved,
2O44 70 l21, or slightly less than
two-thirds.
Its consideration in both houses
was enlivened BY a discussion cf its
possible effect on the forthcoming

Mr.. Dawes replied that he had been
informed by the parliamentary clerk
that tie vote meant an amendment

necessary, he would have voted against

Senator Reed said the Constitution
required that III tie votes the name of
Vice President should be called. After

Another Conspiracy

r'he fact that Lathrops creden- tlals were not received until after the Republican convention adjourn eu was due to another conspiracy engineered by federal secretary Karl Thiel, Customs Collector Jack Mcbride and their friends. These men had just as much information the day before the convention met as they did the day after, and yet they did not wire in the credentials. THE REASON is this, these me1 thought the Alaska delegates would not be seated WITHOUT creden- tials from the federal secretary O. Alaska, and Karl Thiel did not want item to sit.
 His plan was defeated by the fore siglt of Judge Wickersham who had wired to each clerk Ot the district court for the official returns and with these, our delegates were seat ed.
 It may be long time before La throp is recognized for that will on- ly he done when the National Com mittee meets. During the last four years, the Committee DID NOT meet. If Lathrop is therefore nos recognized, Karl Thiel, Jack Me Bride and their fellow conspirators can thank themselves.

THE DIFFERENCE

-Four years ago, the people of Alaska elected John w. Frame Re- publican National Committeeman by 250 votes. Under the rules of the Republican Party, the delegates from Alaska to the convention must east their formal vote to seal the choice of the people. The men elect
 ed to perform this duty were George Arthur Shoup, then United States District Attorney, and George Sex ten, of Seward. When the time came, these men voted for George Sexton. This act was the result of a conspiracy promoted by Governor Scott c. Bone, John w. Troy, Jack Mcbride, H. T. Tripp, Thos. M. Reed, federal judge, l.. " Ray, attorney, at Seward and a number of others
 In the election of April 1928, the De, pie of Alaska elected Capt. La tllrcp national committeeman by 225 votes. According to precedent, as explained by Governor Bone, the delegates, Judge Wickersham and Dr. w. H. Chase, had the right to name any man whom they prefer
