Republican Editor Assails G. Q. P.
In Reply to Letter Asking Support

WASHINGTON.-The attitude Of
the intelligent Western farmer who
has studied the causes Of his pres
ent predicament, and who realizes
what a continuance of the Coolidge
policies would mean TO him, is
strikingly set forth in letter re-
ceiyed by Herbert N. Strause, OF
the Republican Business Men, lnc..
from Willis A. Wells, Republican
editor Of the Webster (S. Dak.)
Journal.
The South Dakota editor had
been asked by Mr. Strause to sup
port Herbert Hoover and to send
a reply which could be published.
Here is the reply:
"You request that I join the Re-
publican Business Men, Inc, of
your city. In promoting the election
Of Mr.. Hoover upon the sole ground
that che will carry out the Cool.
idge policies" Your plea leaves
me as cold as the Ice fields of q
polar sea.
"As a Republican ! enthusiast
,ally decline to do any such fool
hing. / am for Hoover just about
,s far as you can throw our party
elephant by the pine feathers with
your arm broken in four places.
"Out In the West. where men are

no ..,ured Governor Satin
Is elected they will see the stand
ard OF Equality for Agriculture"
hoisted to the flagstaff Of the Whits
House. They are expressing their
enthusiasm in no uncertain terms.
Especially telling has been the
contrast drawn between Governor
Smiths pledges for the farmer and
Herbert Hoover's policy Of evasion.
Hoover's hostility to Agriculture
has been we'll known ever since his
days as war time Food Administra-
tor. Now as Republican candidate
he Is trying desperately hard to
cover up his bad past record, but
his heart remains the same as be-
fore, and his only plan to solve the
problem of the surplus crop Is to
starve the farmers out until there
is no more surplus.
On such cruel and unjust poli-
cles, Governor Smith has turned his
back. He offers the farmer pros
perity and equality through the Nc
Nary-Haugen principles and the
farmers are showing that they
know him now as their best friend
and chief hope.
