 Since the arrangements which have been made for departure on Monday night have not been dis turbed everything is in readiness for leaving Washington tonight.

 Curtis is the highest type Of citi- zen this country has. and am tell ing you right now that despite the <o majority now, we will win this fight yet.

 The protest parade also took in the President hotel where Watson of Indiana holds forth. The Indiana senator was given an opportunity of registering some political thunder for himself. but his speech was less innammatory than some the farm- CTS had heard before.
 Think only of the man and his policies when you give consideration to this nomination" he said. MT. Hoover is my friend: he is a man of peculiar ability. but he does not think as l do.
 "I have always stood for the pro- tective tariff. Where does he stand? Nobody knows. Has he changed his attitude toward the league? He was for it a few years ago.

 Will Keep It Up Finally broken up through clever efforts of Representative Wyant, a Hoover worker from Pennsylvania and a corps of Hoover lieutenants who rushed to the scene, the farm leaders averred they would continue their demonstrations until the bal loting commences. in an effort to "show the east just what We think Of HooNer.'
 The demonstration received its impetus at a farmers meeting which was addressed by a number of the leaders advocating plank in the party platform favoring farm relief among the lines of the vetoed Me Nary -Haugen bill. Lining them- selves up two by two. the throng paraded noisily through convention center streets and at one time halt ed in Ararat Temple in the midst of a monster Hoover mass meeting.

Momentarily dis concerted. inc shouts were suddenly broken off: but the farmers soon re- gained their presence of mind and joined in the singing.
 When the strains of the national anthem died away, the shouting was taken up again. but as if sensing a chilly reception, tho protesters soon left the hall.
 Fired by tho commands of two or three self appointed leaders. the throng iostled its way toward the Baltimore hotel. carrying aloft ban rNArs demanding farm relief and con- demning the veto of the McNary- , Haugen bill and other inscriptions anything but complimentary to the commerce secretary. When they reached the Baltimore, Representa- tive Wyant intervened and the dem onSirators soon were broken up into numerous groups. and argued the merits of farm legislation pro and con.
 Makes His Plea
 Wyant called on tho farmers as they entered the hotel to think of the republican party"
 ''I am q real dirt farmer" he shouted over the Cat-calls and hcckllng that at first greeted him. Y voted for the McNary- -Haugen bif, but I want 10 tell you this dem- onetraton of yours isn't going to do anybody any good.
