FARM RELIEF AND PROHIBITION ARE FULLY DISCUSSED (Cont.nued moi page one) foreign population in this state, which is predominantly “wet.” A large percentage of the German and Bohemian votes is conceded to him. There are 300,000 Germans and about 200,000 Bohemians. “Various people,” the governor said in his speech “have attempted to misrepresnt and confuse my attitude with respect to the McNary-Haugen bill. I do not propose to leave the slightest doubt in any one’s mind on that subject. “As I read the McNary-Haugen bill, its fundamental purpose is to establish an effective control of the sale of exportable surplus with the cost imposed upon the commodity benefitted. For that principle the Democratic platform squarely stands, and for that principle I squarely stand. Mr. Hoover stands squarely opposed to this principle by which the farmer could get the benefit of the tariff. What remains of the McNary-Haugen bill is a mere matter of method, and I do not limit myself to the exact mechanics and methods embodied in that bill." Smith reiterated his pledge to appoint a non-partisan commission of farm leaders and students of the problem to work out details of relief measures, declaring his belief that it remained only to work out a method for putting the principle he had affirmed into effect. ’ “I shall make that appointment, if I am elected, not when I take the oath of office as president, but immediately after election,” lie said. "I pledge to the farmers and to the people of this country that no stone will be.left unturned to give immediate and adequate farm relief, by legislation carrying into practice this definite principle for which my party and I stand. This course alone gives promise of rescuing the farmers of this country from the complete ruin which threatens them today." The Democratic candidate assailed the republican administration, declaring it had done nothing effective toward aid of agriculture. “What does Hoover offer?” he asked. “First, the tariff, everybody knows, and he knows himself, that the tariff is not effective as to the basic cash crops, without a supplemental device to make it work. Hoover offers inland waterways, the speaker said, but “the Democratic party is in favor of inland waterways, just as strongly as the republican party. The present condition needs a remedy at once, and not at a time fai distant, when the improvement of inland waterways could be an accomplished fact.” Smith pointed out the proposals for stabilization corporations and co-op-eratives as farm relief measures. Stabilization corporations, he declared, could "no more stabilize agriculture than the banks of the country were able voluntarily to stabilize the financial system without the intervention of government in forming the federal reserve system." The full benefit of co-operatives, he continued would be obtainable through the perfecting of “a device for taking care of the surplus at the cost of the commodity benefitted. Their field is limited without such a device," he said, “for the reason that when the membership alone is compelled to pay

This word was sent by Howard W. Selby, chayman of the county Red Cross chapter and James H. Gilman, chapter disaster chairman. They said that 9,000 persons were lieitig fed at organized refugee camps in the county, and that 8,000 persons were without change of clothing because the storm had swept their belongings away.

Fla., Sept. 19. — (U.R)—Homer Dickson, field 1 , (captain of the Red Cross today filed a report with authorities indicating that the hurricane death toll in Florida stood at 400 with some sections still isolated. The number of homeless persons receiving care here mounted to 2,500 and refugees from inland find coastal points are arriving hourly, adding to the burden of relief workers. “Two nurses and myself sent two truckloads of to the aviaiton lielil here," Dickson said. The crews of two boats sent to Tory and Cramer islands to aid in the relief work said there were a hundred or more Indies in the vicinity of Belle Clade. “At South Bay there were consid erably more than 150 bodies, and in another spot there were 41) negro bodies and one white man. "We must remove all the bodies to prevent the spread of disease. Dis nfectants are badly needed." Dickson’s report was the first official estimate of the number of dead. Earlier today the Red Cross compiled a fatality list from six towns and the Lake Okeechobee area, A Blessing To Good Complexions Protect your beauty in all kinds ot weather with this new face powder— MELLO-GLO.

which said 62 were known dead and I 545 Injured. It was only when relief parties reached the interior and the shores of Lake Okeechobee that the enormous loss of life became known. Unverified reports to the Red Cross early today indicated that the known casualties in Florida were apportioned aa follows: Dead Injured Pahokee 10 50 Jupiter 6 25 West. Palm Beach 4 350 Delßay 3 25 Lake Okeechbee area. 34 75 Kelsey city 1 10 Belle Glades 4 10 Totals 62 545 Ten bodies haver been recovered in the small settlements around the northern shore of Late Okeechbee. All of the victims were drowned when the waters of the lake, whipped by the hurricane, flooded their homes. Seven residents on the northern lake shore were reported missing today. It was reported 75 persons were killed along the east shore of the lake. Reports from the Georgia and South Carolina coast, over which the storm passed -today, were that damage was slight, although communication was cut off for several hours and highways and railway tracks were in some cases impassable. No deaths were reported north of Palatka, the storm apparently having confined its devastations to property, but a complete check of the casualties cannot be made for some days and perhaps, as in the 1926 hurricane, never. Property damage was enormous, estimates placing that in Palm Beach county alone at around 920,000,000. Buildings were demolished, public Utilities put out of order, highways washed out or blocked, and hotels damaged. Although Savannah and Charleston were isolated most of yesterday, no damage was reported from either. Highways into Savannah were blocked. At Jacksonville, Fla., damage was confined chiefly to broken windows in stores and residences.
