FARMERS TO ASK
ECONOMIC PLANKS
Rural Delegates Determined to
Force Agriculture
as Issue.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE voice OF
the farmer, again asking for relief,
strove yesterday to be heard above the
wet-dry din preliminary to the Repub-
lican National Convention.
Sunday there were no signs OF the
army of farmers which four years ago
paraded the streets of Kansas City and
invaded the sanctum of the platform
makers. Yesterday as Nebraskans,
Iowans and Dakotans gathered in eau
Gus there were strong demands that the
prohibition issue not be permitted to
force economic problems and farm
problems into the background.
Senator L. J. Dickinson, the con-
vention keynoter gave his opinion that
the platform should indorse the agri-
cultural marketing act and advocate
amendments to strengthen its Coop
erative provisions to cover a greater
percentage of products. He said it
should also advocate agricultural tariffs
TO keep out foreign SURPRISES.
As other States wheeled into action
prospects were less promising that such
divergent plans as the equalization
fee, the export debenture plan and the
allotment plan would be able to come
together upon q general program.

Mr. Green said the proposals to be

private industry, to take up the slack
in employment, permanent con-
structive plan for dealing with periods
of unemployment. such as the advance
planning of public works appropria-
ton of funds to take care Of acute
suffering.
Mr.. Green said one Of the proposals
to be considered deals with Govern

hard to get drink unless the amend
ment is repealed
Well, I don't know what effect this
alleged aridity may have on the dele
gates" Mr.. Gloom continued, "but
can't believe that anything is going to
affect them to the point where they
will forget that the first duty of good
Republicans is not to make a scene. I
tell you, lifelong Democratic that I am,
I have contrived a great admiration for
the behavior of the Republicans in the
present crisis.
Denounces Silence.
Here they are, the Spokesman Of
the party that has been in power for
II years, that has promised and guar
anteed in writing a chicken in every
pot, two cars in every garage and the
abolition Of poverty-and what have
they got to say about it? Not a thing.
They just stand there, firm and un-
shaken, and make it clear that nobody
at all we'll bred would mention the fact
that somewhere things have gone q
little wrong"
Don't you think this silence is very
short-sighted?" the reported asked.
Il wouldn't say So" observed Mr..
Gloom. In the first place, what could
they say? And in the second place, the
business Of political party Is to get
the jobs, not to serve the country, and
the Republicans know that however bad
things may look now, the Democrats
also are going to have a convention"

CHICAGO. June IA (NANA).-
Godfrey G. Gloom, the old-fashioned
Jeffersonian Democrat from Indiana,
was encountered by reporter in the
Congress Hotel lobby. Immediately
Mr.. Gloom drew the reporter aside.
Have you heard anything about who
these Republicans are going to nomi-
nate for PRESIDENT" he inquired,
anxiously.

And everybody will know who Is
meant, sure enough, if they only had
the nerve to confess that they're talkin'
about the man who promised the
abolition Of poverty.
But I must say this retience Is very
refreshing. by way of contrast with the
way conventions usually act. For years
all the intellectuals have been abusing
political conventions for the artificial
and Fictitious enthusiasm they stir up.
That reproach Is never going to be
leveled at the delegates at the Republic

n YEW YORK, January 9.-Sooner
~ or later, half dozen attorneys
are going to stop arguing, get
down to signatures, and Max
Schmeling's 15-round title defense
against Mickey Walker in Miami Feb
ruary 25 will be something more than
a topic of conversation.
1t has got so now, that with the
tremendous monetary value Of the
heavyweight championship. that the
owner, before taking it into the ring,
needs more lawyers to keep him free
from entangling alliances than he does
trainers and sparring partners to con-
dition him for the battle itself.
The complicated situation, as far as
Florida is concerned, has one encourag-
ing factor. The lawyers interested in
this match, the second heavyweight
title fight in the history of that State,
are camped In the spotlight before the
struggle takes place.
1t was somewhat different the first
time a heavyweight champion ever de-
Tended his title in Florida. The legal
forces. back in 1894 when Jim Corbett
1ought the EnglSnman, Cnsrley MitcheIi,
at Jacksonville, waited until after the
match and then summoned all their
abilities to keep the warriors out of jail
Boxing was Illegal in Florida then,
but Gentleman Jim and the British
champion, scarcely larger than Walker
took their chances with the law. Cor
bett knocked his man out In three
rounds and the law promptly took them
both to the jail house. They were sd-
ritted TO bail and that ws& the end Of

Schmeling and Walker Will
Sign for Bout Just as Soon
AS Lawyers Present Papers

There is still slight possibility Of
embarrassment along a somewhat SINH
lar line when Schmeling and the for
mer mtddleWeight king begin their hos
tile gestures in the Southland. Boxing
now is legal in Florida, but the law eX-
pressly forbids championship matches,
Of which this most certainly is one
Assurance has been given all con-
cerned, however. that this part of the
law is similar to the old blue laws in
many States and will not be inforced.
All that remains is for the lawyers to
give the contest back to the fighting
boys themselves and let the fun 90 on
There was press today, but not
enough to guarantee that the lawyers
who seem to be holding more of a
f1libuster than series of conferences,
will have talked themselves out by
Monday
The attorneys for Madison Square
Garden Of Florida have drawn up one
set OF contracts, Walkers legal ad-
Vlsers another and the representatives
OF Schmeling, the champion, still a
third
Most of the variances seem to lie in
the delicate shades OF alliance between
the Madison Square Garden of New
York and its extensive system in Ohio,
Illinois and Florida. The match will
be promoted under the direction of
the Madison Square Garden Corpora
tion OF Florida, but both warriors must
be bound for future fights, in which the
Florida Garden may not have hand.
And in the meantime Interpretation
Of every phrase in the contracts, the
position Of every comma, is being ar
gued. But, luckily, all the bills are
beyond the third reading. the debate
has passed the seventy-second hour,
and there Is scarcely wind enough left
for another full day.
