URGE FARMERS
TO AID Smith
Dems Pledged to Farm
Relief, Robinson
Tells Iowans

DES MONIES, Oct. 27.-(P,-Here
in the center of the state where the
tall corn grows and where a large
share of the McNary-Haugen enthus-
iasm grew to full vigor. Senator Joe
T. Robinson tonight pledged the
democratic national ticket to a
speedy solution Of the farmers ills.
Declaring that the position Of the
two major parties on farm relief
has been clearly defined, the nomi-
nee told his audience that the time
was at hand when the farmers might
express themselves effectively BY
voting the democratic ticket.
IF the farmers neglect this OPP
portunity." he said, "they are DOOM
ed TO disappointment and despair.
THE republicans have trifled for
eight years with the farm relief
problem"
The senator charged Hoover with
being largely responsible for the
failure of farm relief legislation
and renewed in considerable detail
his declaration that the republican
candidate sought to keep down the
prices of agricultural products in the
interests of consumers"
Senator Robinson spent the night
in Des Moines. Tomorrow he will
resume his campaign by travelling
into Illinois where he will make a
series Of speeches next week.
