paign for election as President. was an
nounced by Gov. Adam McMullen. in q
statement made public tonight. The
governor declared his sole guide has
been the economic welfare of the farm
or. Politics have not been Of the slight
est influence nor have personalities fig
ured as deciding factors, he said
The governor a lifelong Republican

in announcing which presidential candt~
date he would support. In tonight =
statement he declares, Il have decided
10 support Herbert Hoover" He pointed
out what he termed Inconsistencies in
Mr. Hoover's plans To aid agriculture,
but says Hoover declares agriculture 10
be the foremost issue and that this off
sets his indefinite plans for relief"
In addition the governor finds COM
fort in the protective tariff policy Of
the Republican party as contrasted with
what he calls the Democratic party's
views IN that subject and hopes to see
the tariff benefits extended to agricul-
ture
Gov. McMullen says Gov. Smith
makes liquor his leading issue and
then brings In agriculture later and
states that his frankness in handling
the latter question is In contrast to his
handling of the farm problem. He
charges Gov. Smith merely quoted from
the Democratic platform concerning the
equalization fee, leaving the impression
that his party is pledged for it without
declaring himself Gov. McMullen ex-
presses the belief that Gov. Smith was
properly quoted in advance Of his speech
when he was quoted as having said he
opposed the equalization fee.

under the impression that the organiza-
ton was making an honest effort to
investigate the results of prohibition.
Commenting further Mr.. Gibbs said
ITO publish this letter and others of
similar nature two years and half
later in pamphlet form on the eve of
a bitter presidential campaign, when
the passions Of many people are so
wrought UP that they are incapable of
taking part In a calm discussion of pro-
