KANSAS CITY, October 27.-
Spring came again this Fall-ar the
farmer is smiling.
It isn't an ear-splitting smile. Nc
one could forget the disastrous
drought of 1884 that soon.
But the rains that every one looked
for and nobody saw at last have ap-
peared. Even more welcome has been
the mild Spring-like weather.
Here's some good news:
Garden and trucking crops in Wis
consin are almost normal instead OF
25 to 40 per cent short as had been
feared. September showers and mild
temperatures did that.
Fall-bearing strawberries moved In
unusual volume from the Minnesota
fields. w. H. Alderman, chief of the
division of horticulture at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, reported truck
gardeners also have made money.
Southern Iowa, where drought
damage was staggering, now is yield
ing more vegetables for domestic and
commercial consumption than at any
time this season. 4

Catholics, Further Dis
turbs Scene.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO, D. F., October 27.-The
church question in Mexico appeared
headed for a crisis today
The killing of 16 men at Mochoaca
and the publication of documents pur-
porting to prove the governments s
charges that high Catholic Church
officials were plotting a subversive
movement further disturbed the scene
Eight soldiers, including lieutenant,
and eight civilians were shot to death
by a band officially described as mill
tsnt Catholics whom they were pursu-
ing near Tanhuato, Michoacan.
Letters purportedly written by Msgr.
Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, former papal
legate in Mexico and now in exile in
San Antonio, were printed by the gov
ernment newspaper, El Nacional, as an
answer to a denial by Archbishop Pas
cual Diaz OF Mexico that Catholics
plotted against the government.
One of the letters, addressed to the
provincial Fathers" urged members
of the Jesuits to laid us to defend the
sacred rights of the church, which
Now, more than ever, are being perse-
Ated in our country"

PRESIDENT DENIES
HELP TO SINCLAIR
Former Socialist Loses New
Deal Support in Cali
fornia Race.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Roosevelt administration, it de-
veloped today. has quietly turned
thumbs down on Upton Sinclair.
Whereupon a violent quarrel shook
California Democracy and dealt what
many considered a severe blow to the
former Socialists bid for the COVER
norship.
George Creel. wartime chief of
publicity, and Sinclair, the author who
captured the Democratic nomination
from Creel in a sensational End
Poverty" campaign, fell to hammering
away at each other, their ostensible
united front split wide open.
The shooting began yesterday when
Creel, who recently visited President
Roosevelt, withdrew his support from
Sinclair. In letter which he said was
dated October 1s he accused Sinclair
of breaking faith with the Democratic
State platform. He said Sinclair s
e. p I. c." plan was ''unsound, un-
workable and un-American," and that
his promise to end poverty in Cali
fornia within foEr years was optimism
carried to the point Of deliriun1."
Sinclair Strikes Back.
Sinclair struck back. Denying he
would withdraw from the campaign
under any circumstances whatever, u
he dispatched a wire late last night
from San Francisco to New York,
where Creel is.
Il have Loyalty kept every agree
ment with you," it said. II have trav-
eled up and down the State reading
passages from the Democratic plat
form to audiences and praising it to
them. ! have urged them to vote the
Democratic ticket. have even gone
so far as to urge them not to vote
for me unless they vote the Demo-
cratic ticket straight.
You now publicly charge me with
breaking faith. 1t is you who have
broken faith with the Democratic
party of California and with the New
Deal, which We support. You have
done all in your power to elect re-
dictionary Republican. Goodbye"
The Republican he referred to is
acting Gov. Frank F. Merriam, lead
ing a strenuous campaign to turn
back the Sinclair bid. His supporters
were said to be jubilant over develop
mentS.
Farley Withdraws Letter.
Although the White House officially
maintained its hands off" policy, an
unmistakable impression went abroad
that high officials do not care to see
Sinclair elected. 1t was bolstered by
these developments:
/. When Creel visited the White
House recently, he carried in his
pocket a copy of the letter denouncing
Sinclair.
2. A letter from Democratic head
quarters, advocating the election OF
Sinclair and bearing the rubber stamp
signature Of Postmaster General Far
