FARM CANVASS
OF ROOSEVELT
REVEALED
BY EARL GOODWIN
Now it can be told.

The story of how the Roosevelt
organization went through the
is principal agricultural States
with a personal handshake and an
explanatory pamphlet for prac-
tically every farmer in those
States is now coming to light. 1t
is the story Of what is possibly
the most amazing, efficient, yet
unpretentious organization OF the
entire campaign
The campaign was conducted
by the All-Party Roosevelt Agri-
cultural Committee which COM
prised most of the well known
farm leaders who have been "out
on the end of a limb" for RooSe-
velt, many of whom had been in
the same position for Alfred E.
Smith in his campaign against
President Hoover. The executive
control was in the hands OF Paul
Porter, we'll known here in Wash
ington as a farm authority. He
has been closely associated with
Secretary Wallace and with Ches-
ter Davis, former AAA chief.
Unknown In Cities
In the words of the sidewalk
politicians, Paul Porter knows
his stuff" probably better than
anyone else in the campaign,
and the odd part Of the business
is that he broadcasts every day
to a tremendous audience and
nobody around here ever heard
Of him. The average city-bred
radio hound was all aglitter and
aglow over the anti-New Deal
radio performance of the well
known Bill Hard and yet here
was Paul Porter with what is
said to be a much larger audi
ence who obesity talked
through the campaign without
arousing the slightest flutter-in
the cities.
However, in the farm belt Paul
Porter's audience was there by
the million. The secret is that
Mr.. Porter's millions were up and
doing on the farms of the coun
try, arranging their early morn
