WALB ADDS NEW LETTER TO SERIES IN SETTLE SCRAP ‘Thanks' La Follette Chairman for Information on Activities, Another letter was added to the Walb-Settle Bentley series today when the Republican State chairman answered the La Follette leader relative to the personal political attitude of the Farm Federation president. Walb wrote Settle today as follows: "Your letter of Oct. 9 is at hand advising that yourself and William H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, have had a conference and you have decided after consultation with Mr. Settle, to use correspondence between Mr. Settle and myself to further the interests of the La Follette campaign and will proceed to have 200,000 copies of the same printed for distribution which will be enough to put a copy in every farm home in Indiana. “It is interesting to know that Mr. Settle has consulted with you and your party, as he has never consulted with the chairman of the Republican party in Indiana during the past eighteen months, and it is also interesting to know that since your conference with Mr. Settle you have planned to reach each farm home >n Indiana, as the Republican party has not been able to get such a list of names and addresses to do the thing that you are able to do now. I ha%’e concluded that since the Farm Federation membership drive is being made now and each farm home is being solicited, the same agency will be used in this distribution. “Thanking you for the definite information you have given me concerning Mr. Settle’s connection with you and the party you represent.”
