buying POWER OF
FARMERS MUST Be
RAISED, NYE SAYS
Says People Will Not Find Be.
ginning Of Recovery on
Market Pages


people get their noses off the stool
market page and come to a full real
lzation that the return of prosperit.
will not first be noted there, but will
occur when the purchasing power O.
agriculture is returned, then recover,
from present conditions will be speed.
i ed, Senator Gerald p. Nye said in Mi
not Friday.
Too much attention has been paie
to stocks and too much legislation ha!
been enacted to improve conditions or
the theory that If the prices of stock;
raise, prosperity will return, in tn:
belief of Senator Nye.
Restore the purchasing power OF
agriculture, and stocks will take car
OF themselves. he thinks.
The North Dakota senator has
made observation that the industrial
east is coming to the same belief he
maintains, but not fast enough, he
says.
Regarding the coming presidential
election, Senator Nye said what he
previously has declared, that his &C
tivity in the campaign will principally
have to do with obtaining reelection
OF himself, and not work in behalf OF
any presidential candidate.
People Fully Capable
He believes the people are fully ca
pable Of deciding for themselves
whom they want tor president, and
doubts whether anything he might do
would make much difference in the
outcome of the presidential race.
Referring to the fact that he CAM
paigned for Hoover four years ago,
the senator said he is not "particu-
larly proud" of some of the promises
he made at that time, regarding what
might be expected to be carried out
in event of Hoover's election.
II think the president has fallen
down badly on what he might have
done out in the agricultural regions"
Senator Nye said. whether anyone
else would have done better is a ques-
ton"
To the question Of what presiden-
tial candidate he intends to vote for
next November, the senator said he
did not prefer to answer at this time
but declared that he believed that the
people. some time prior to the elec-
ton. are entitled to know where their
public officers stand on the question.
even though it may not make much
difference to the voters"
The senator came to Minot Thurs
day evening from Bismarck, where
he attended a meeting of Republican
nominees, called by William LANCER,
gubernatorial nominee.
Lauds Langer's Motive
Regarding the proposals of LANCER
to initiate several proposed laws,
which were looked upon by disfavor
by a majority of the nominees and
other league leaders present, Senator
Nye said it might appear LANCER is in
a bad light by reason of the fact his
proposals were not approved. but the
senator regards the proposals advanced
as indicative of Langer's sincere de-
sire to do something worthwhile for
the state.
However, Senator Nye feels tina.
with the league controlled legislature
scheduled to convene within abou.
two months after the general elec-
ton, the proposals might better be
submitted to it for careful study.
rather than putting mass of pro-
posed legislation before 100000 voters,
many of whom would lack an intelli-
gent understanding by reason of no:
having studied it.
From Minot, Senator Nye Friday
afternoon went to Antler to speak at
q Bottineau county picnic. Saturday
- t. L.
at Fargo called by the Greater North
Dakota association; Sunday he will
speak at an American Legion picnic
at Kindred and Thursday he will
speak at similar picnic at Lisbon.
