URGES FARMERS TO
 VOTE FOR SMITH
Peck Says Democratic Plank Is
 the Better

Chicago. July 3 RIThe aaricul. tural plank in the democratic na- tional platform has proved so satis. factory to George N. Peek. chair man of the executive committee representing the corn belt confer ence. that in statement issued here he has urged republican farmers to vote the democratic ticket in No- vember.
 Peek, himself republican, said the republican party turned its back" on the farmers at Kansas City and then added insult to in- jury" by nominating for president. the arch enemy of a square deal for American agriculture" In Houston on the other hand, the Peek statement said, "the farmers were given the greatest considera- tion in every way. Their reception was most cordial. their views on a platform were solicited, and a real plank was adopted which is the most favorable for agriculture ever written in the platform of any po- litical party in our history"
 Organized in 1928
 The corn belt conference was or ganized in January 1926, when the governor of Iowa invited governors of 10 other north central states to meet in Des Moines. la, for a dis cussion of farmer problems and to find means for stabilization of the farm industry. North Dakota and Montana later joined the confer- ence The executive committee of which Mir. Peek is chairman was called the committee of twenty-five because originally it consisted of two delegates from each of the II original states.
 Farmers in the grain, livestock and cotton states twill recognize in the democratic plank for agricul- ture new declaration of indepen- dence" the Peek statement said.
 Peek said that the sole solution of the farm problem" offered by the
 
 keep on starving out farmers until production is reduced to the de- mands of the domestic markets"
 If England herself were directly prescribing an American agricul- tural policy. she could hardly do better for England" he added in that portion of his statement criti- cizing the republican plank.
 The Peek statement followed a few hours after Gov. McMullen of Nebraska. a leader in the farmer revolt movement that preceded the republican national convention. praised the democratic platform farm plank. The comment of Gov. McMullen, a republican, was given in reply to a request for his views by the Chicago Journal.

REPORT MANY HELD
IN SPANISH PLOT
Censorship Imposed, But Sit.

Quiet.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 12.-Reports
from the Franco-Spanish border say
numerous arrests have been made in
Spain after the discovery of a plot
against the government of Primo de
Rivera, who Is about to celebrate his
fifth anniversary as dictator of Spain.
A disptch from Hendaye, France, says
the arrests were reported to have been
made in Madrid and other Spanish
cities.
The Havas Agency Of France was
notified. however. by its Madrid cores
pondent that official circles In the
Spanish capital asserted the country
was tranquil.
Censorship imposed.
There were indications of the impo-
sitlon of strict censorship. The West
ern Union Gable Co.. notified the Asso-
ciated Press that the Spanish authori-
ties had refused to deliver message to
the Associated Press Madrid bureau ask
ing about the reported plot. Although
the usual run of news was received
from Madrid, the cables made no men,
ton OF any movement against the state.
On July Ia, there were border reports
OF a widespread plot against the Span
ish government. At that time FROM
tiers were under strict guard and pas
sengers on international trains we're
subjected to searching investigation.
The official government organ, La
Nac1on OF Madrid, at that time pub
lished denial that the movement was
of grave proportions, saying only a few
dozen persons participated.
Outbreaks Frequent.
When Primo de Rivera assumed
power on September Is. 1923. Spain
was torn with discord both at home and
IN Morocco. The foreign situation has
been quiet for long time. but every
few months there have been fresh
domestic outbreak These troubles
have been attributed to general opposi-
ton to taxes on small incomes, ambi-
tons OF some Catalonians, labor organi-
cations IN Barcelona and infiltration
OF communist doctrines.
A state of war was proclaimed in the
Summer OF 1925, when the most serious
revolt occurred France assisted Spain

DET0UR SIGNS ASKED
BY CITIZENS GROUPS
American University Park Body
Holds Visiting Motorists Puz-
zled by Street Work.

A drive to obtain adequate street
signs at all detours throughout the city
and especially in its own territory was
begun by the American University Park

because of the frequent detours neces-
STATED by repairs to streets. The as
ISOLATION urged particularly that direc-
ton markers be placed at detours on
Wisconsin and Massachusetts avenues
and at Dupont Circle. Massachusetts
avenue north to River road is impas-
sable for few blocks. 1t was said, and
signs warning unSuspecting motorists
of the fact should be installed.
A plea was made to the engineer de-
partment of the District government to
grade three streets in the community
and put some sort of surface on them
that would enable persons living on the
streets to reach their homes in their
cars. The streets mentioned were Upton
street between Massachusetts, avenue
and Forty-eighth street and Brandy
wine and Chesapeake streets between
Forty-ninth street and Western avenue.
1t was announced that the prize win
ners in the associations lawn, flower
