LANDON VIEWS CHALLENGED.

CHICAGO, September 81 t41.-Wil-
liam H. Settle, chairman OF the ALI
Party Roosevelt Agricultural Commit
tee, asked Gov. ALI. M. Landon of
Kansas, Republican presidential nom
inee, last night to make clear" to
the farmers what he thinks" of the
accomplishments of President Roose-
yelt's farm program.
Asserting that farmers suspect the
Republican party of trying to face
both ways at the same time" Settle
said In an address over a farmland
radio hook-up:
do you believe, Mr. Landon, that
Republican members of Congress were
serving the best interests of farmers
when they voted last March II TO
adopt the new farm act?
THE members Of your party in
Congress voted II to in the Senate
and 81 to 19 in the House in favor
Of this bill
do you believe, Mr.. Landon, that
agriculture Is just local matter
and that the a. A. A. program INVADED
the rights of States?
III you do, why did you not speak
out against such invasion of the
State of which you are Governor?
ALSO, Mr.. Landon, why did you
wait until you became the nominee
for President to refer to the A. A. A.
as restrictive and coercive'?
do you think, Mr.. Lanoon, that
the farmers of Kansas who signed
273,000 wheat contracts ana l3y,UUU
corn-hog contracts were 'coerced'? 4?
Were the farmers of Kansas who voted
a wear ago 7l,768 to 10,29l to continue
the wheat program 'coerced'?
If, Mr.. Landon. you have been SO
disturbed about coercion why did
you as Governor sign an act in Kansas
which would empower the State gov
ernment to enter a mans farm and
engage in work regardless OF wnetner
the individual farmer wanted 1t done?"
