100000 Virginia Farmers
Sign for A. A. A. Program

BY the Associated Press.
BLACKSBURG, Va, May 30
One hundred and six thousand Vir-
ginia farmers have signed 1910 farm
plans, indicating their intention to
participate in the Federal agri-
cultural conservation program this
year. A. A. A. officials reported today.
April Is was the deadline for
sign-ups.
In 1889 there were 100000 signers
In Virginia.
"A preliminary check Of the farm
plans shows that more farm land
will be operated under conservation
methods this year than ever before"
s. K. Cassell, A. A. A. State executive
officer, said.
Results of the farm plan sign-up
indicate that more small farmers
are participating this year and are
carrying out needed conservation
practices to larger extent than
before.
The provision in the 1910 program
making it possible for any farmer
to earn at least $40 complying with
special crop acreage allotments and
for carrying out soil building prac-
tices is responsible for considerable
increased participation, Mr.. Cassell
declared.

The Political Mill
Senator Donohey's Silence Keeps
Third-Term Drufters GUESSING

this time, with q view to future
favors at the hand of the next Dem
ocratic President-whether Roose-
welt or another. They are practical.
Hope to Avoid Fight.
For the same practical reason they
believe it would be harmful to Demo-
cratic chances next November for
the State democracy to be torn by
an intraparty fight over Garner,
McNutt and Wheeler, for example
Wounds might be so deep that the
State would not have chance Of
going Democratic. This may strongly
incline Senator Donahey to become
a favorite-son candidate. He has
talked the Ohio situation over with
the President himself in the last
two days Perhaps he would like to
know, if he is to be stalking horse,
whether the President is to run Tor
the Democratic nomination oT not.
He is not an antagonist of the Pres
ident, although the New Dealers
sought to beat him for renonlina-
ton with Charles West the last
time he ran. He has said he is
for any Democrat who can win this
year, whether it be Roosevelt or
another.
Here is test question which lead
ing New Deal Democrats are apply
ing to every candidate suggested for
the Democratic presidential nomin-
alton, Can he carry New York;"
New York with its big batch of elec-
toral votes-47 to be exact-is re-
garded as sine qua non for vic
tory. although the Democrats in
1916 reelected Woodrow Wilson
President when Charles Evans
Hughes, now chief justice. carried
the Empire State. That was the
closest presidential election on rec
ord since the days of Tilden and
Hayes. Ohio and Kansas and Cali
fornia, plus lot of other Western
States made it possible for Wilson
to win without New York.
Most Fail to Meet Test.
The New Dealers apply the test.
Can Garner carry New York? They
say no, not with the big Negro vote
in Harlem, which would not stand
for a Texas Democrat. Applying
the same test, they rule out Hull of
Tennessee, Barkley of Kentucky,
Clark of Missouri, McNutt of In
diana, though for other reasons.
They doubt that Associate Justice
Douglas would have real chance,
though he would be satisfactory to
them, or that Attorney General
Jackson, a New Yorker himself,
could really make the grade. Jim"
Farley they do not want, and insist
he would have tough time in his
own State of New York Wheeler,
they say somewhat hesitantly, might
have a look-in-for they are not
sure they want Wheeler. But there
is one man they believe can carry
New York-and they are willing to
shout it from the house tops-Frank-
lin Delano Roosevelt. This is one
of the arguments being used in the
draft Roosevelt" campaign.
The 1910 and 1916 presidential
campaign years have some things
in common. This year, as in 1916,
the United States is trying to keep
from being drawn into a European
war. Wilson was elected on a slogan,
HE Kept Us Out of War" The
estimates Of political strength this
year are almost as close as they
were in 1916. But this year it looks
as though the Republicans would
carry Ohio and Kansas. which they
lost to Wilson in 1916. This would
make it all the more necessary for
the Democrats to have New York.

uclcSdUlOll W tIlC NJ oVuAo AAheoih'
national convention over to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, is now declining to
say whether he will permit his name
to be entered in the Ohio presi-
dental preferential primary for the
election of the State delegation.
One thing seems quite certain. If
Senator Donahey does not permit
the use of his name as favorite-
son candidate in the Ohio primary,
the plans of the Roosevelt third
term drafters are going to be upset.
They may be upset even if Donahey
does go in-but if he doesn't the
Ohio delegation will in all probable
ity be committed definitely to an
active and real candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
The friends of Vice President Gar
ner and those of Senator Burton K.
Wheeler of Montana and Federal
Security Administrator Paul v. Nc
Mutt all stand ready to enter their
candidates in the preferential pri-
mary and to put up states of dele
gates.
Won't Assure Delegation.
If Donahey finally permits the
use of his name in the primary as
favorite-son candidate, it is believed
none of these others will enter the
primary. Even should the Ohio
Senator enter the primary, there is
no assurance that the delegation
will be on out-and-out Roosevelt
third-term delegation, despite the
claims of State Chairman Limbach,
former Representative Charles West
and others of the "drafters." In the
delegation in all probability will be
former Cows. White, Cox and
Davey and Democratic National
Committeeman Sawyer as delegate
at large. And some of them are
definitely not favorable to a third
term nomination. District delegates
from the rural sections, some of
them, will also not favor a third
term nomination, although the dele
gates from the big cities, especially
Cleveland, will support the third
term idea.
1t is understood that Senator Dom
ahey and some other Democratic
leaders in Ohio are particularly
anxious to have the State delegation
to the national convention act as
unit, indeed, adopt unit rule. If
that course is followed the delega-
ton will support Mr.. Donahey as
long as he demands such support,
and then by majority vote on the
floor OF the convention cast a solid
ballot for some other candidate. In
1882 the Ohio delegation was split
several ways and never effective.
The leaders wish it to be effective
