FARM FRIENDS
WIN SkIRMISH
BY JAMES L. WEST

BY JAMES l.. ESI
Houston, Texas, June 27.-Shunt-
ing prohibition aside temporarily,
friends of organized agriculture
won . brief but sharp skirmish to-
day before the resolutions commit
tee for representation on the SUBJ
committee which is to draft the 1923
national Democratic platform.
John A. Simpson. Oklahoma men,
Der, urged that Thomas E. CASH
man the representative from Min
nesota, who is head Of = farm or
ganization, be among the II on the
drafting body and when Senator
Key Pittman of Nevada, the chair
man, failed to include eastman,
Simpson moved his appointment,
Senator Glass Of Virginia countered
with q point Of order against the
motion, saying that if the commit
tee tried to give representation to
all Of the industries Of the nation 1t
would be rowing over the personnel
for the better part Of the day. This
aroused Delegate F. ]. Thomas Of
Nebraska, who reminded the com.
mittee that the farmers had been ex-
cluded from the councils Of the Re-
publican party at the Kansas City
convention.
1--WE must concede that agricul-
ture will be the paramount issue in
this campaign" he added, land the
farm organization should be rep
resented on this drafting committee.
Characterizing the Glass move a.
"simply parliamentary trick
Simpson declared tkat the sub-com-
mittee was the most important
body Of the convention since it
would actually draft the declaration
upon which the party would act for
grant Of power from the Ameri-
can electorate.
Senator Caraway Of Arkansas, an
ardent supporter Of the McNary-
Haugen farm relief bill, interrupted
to suggest that Simpson ask unani-
nous consent that eastman be add.
ed to the committee. That con-
sent was obtained.
