Democratic nominee for governor, launched a series of 14 campaign talks last night in an effort to capture the southern Indiana farm vote, his Republican rival cited "new deal inconsistencies'* In farm legislation Schricker addressed a Putnam county Democratic meeting at Greencastle He said the XOth congress "almost sold the farmer down the river.” At the same time at Huntington.
