FARM LEADER
AT BREAKFAST

BY PERCY b. SCOTT
Waited Press staff Correspondent


HAMPTON BAYS, L. T., Aug. l.
Over their breakfast cups at the
Biltmore Hotel, Thursday morning
Governor Alfred E. Smith, Demo-
Orati" candidate for President, and
George N. Peek of MolirTe, Ill,
chairman of the corr belt commit
tee, will discuss the agricultural sit
uation.
Smith made that announcement
today as he was leaving his vacation
grounds here for New York. The
automobile caravan carrying Smith
and his party left at 1920 a. m. and
was due in New York around 7 p. m.
Discuss Farm Situation
The Governor said the breakfast
conference with Peek would begin at
$3.50 a. m.
"You will discuss the farm situa-
ton and its relation to your candi-
dacy?" Smith was asked.
II don't think the question of golf
will come UP very much the Gov
ernor said, smiling.
has avoided all State and campaign
cares. He has refused even to COM
ment on the attacks William Allen
White, Kansas editor, has made
on his candidacy.
Smiths time here has been de-
voted to swimming or resting on the
beach and his afternoons to golf. He
has seen reporters once a day but he
has had little to give them save
winning smile.
Plans Yacht Cruise
No intense campaigning is on the
Governors program until after his
acceptance speech in Albany on the
night of Aug. %. In New York to-
night and Thursday he will see
John j. Raskob, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, and
other political leaders.
After that he will go for a cruise
on the yacht of William H, Todd,
wealthy shipbuilder and Smiths
personal friend. He plans to return
to Albany Sunday morning.
Peek brought Raskob and the
other Democratic leaders at yester-
days conference encouraging re-
ports from the Middle West.
IT think" Peek said, chat if the
Democratic party and it's candidates
meet the issue the Republicans face
such a split as they never have
seen. In the grain and livestock
producing States the dissatisfaction
is quite general"
Chance in Midwest
He named a dozen States in this
area, in several of which he said
the Democrats have a good chance
Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Montana, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Iowa, North and South Dakota,
Wisconsin and Michigan.
1.-THE feeling against Herbert
Hoover is very strong in the Middle
West" he said.
Congress has approved the
equalization fee principle twice. The
problem is to elect g. President who
would approve it,"
Peek said he will take no position
on the Smith candidacy until the
Governor gives him his interpreta-
ton of the farm plank in the
Democratic platform.
This plank is approved by the
farm leader, who directed the lobby
for the McNary- Haugen bill, and
has been Endorsed likewise by the
corn belt committee, composed Of
representatives of numerous farm
organizations, including many Re-
publicanS.
