DEMOCRATS GO ►ON WARPATH TO GET FARM VOTE Smith Studies Farm issue, Steadily Rising to First 'lmportance. BY PERCY B. SCOTT, United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—The drive to bring the disgruntled farmer into the Democratic fold and swell the presidential vote for Gov. Alfred E. ’ Smith is on in earnest today. With George N. Peek, one of the agrarian leaders speeding westward to attempt to induce other leaders to meet and confer with Smith, the Governor himself is to give several hours of his time today to a further study/Of farm relief. Smith has been informed that there are at least half a dozen ways In w’hich the agricultural assistance can be held out to farmers without using the equalization fee of the McNary-Haugen bill, which Smith emphatically has rejected. Conferences Manned It is likely that he will not close his mind on the subject for another two weeks as he is confident that Peek’s trip in the West will result in further conferences with other westerners week a f ter next, just before his speech of acceptance. Out of those talks may come additions to or deletions from his present plan. From the attention that now is being given to the topic, the opinion is growing that Smith may attempt to make farm relief one of the biggest issues in his campaign, and may make a much more extensive tour of the middle western and other agricultural States than he originally had intended. It is pointed out that the Governor must make inroads into the normally Republican States in the West and Middle V'est if he hopes to win the election, and for this reason the corn belt may become one of the chief battle grounds for votes. Farm Issue Grows There is no question in the minds i of those who halve been close to Smith since his nomination but that the value of farm relief as a campaign issue has been steadily growing, and today it seems to have become one of the paramount ideas under discussion. The Governor is about ready to return to completion of his accept- | ance speech, w’ork on which was abandoned r. week ago. He will start his return to Albany Sunday, stopping off at Peekskill, if it is a fair day, to review National Guard troops at the encampment there.

Hoosiers Duel in Music to Lure Flatrock Fish By Times Special GENEVA, Ind„ Aug. 3.—A duel of music is being waged among fishermen in Fltrock Creek near here. So far the music of a cabinet organ has proved a stronger lure for fish than that produced by a victrola. James Turner was unintentionally the challenger for the duel. Desiring to reduce weight, he took up rowing on the creek waters. To make a hard task more endurable, he took a portable phonograph on his boat. When it was played, fish followed him around like pet dogs. Success of Turner aroused envy of Oscar Williams. Raymond Spiegel, Fred Borden and Harry Aumann. They mounted a cabinet organ on a large raft, took to the waters of the creek and the fish left the phonograph music of Turner for the organ's notes. A brass band of several pieces has been suggested to Turner to meet the organ competition.

CAMPBELL VOTE CONTEST LOST Ballot Suit Dismissed by County Commissioners. County Surveyor Henry Campbell today lost his contest of the nomination of Paul Roscoe Brown when the county commissioners dismissed his contest suit on the grounds that they had lost jurisdiction. Removal of the cloud on the nomination of Brown removes the last doubt as to the overwhelming victory of the Coffin-Hawkins faction of Republican politics in the primary election of May 8. Campbell can appeal from the board of commissioners to Circuit Court. He was out of the city when the ruling today was made. The commissioners held that their jurisdiction was lost when they failed to dispose of the contest within twenty-one days from June 4 as provided by law. They passed today on a motion presented Tuesday by Frank Symmes for Brown for dismissal. The action was based on recommendation of County Attorney Clinton Givan, none of the three commissioners being lawyers The vote was unanimous, all three voting for it: President C. O. Sutton, Cassius L. Hogle and George Snider. Another continuance until Aug. 30 had been granted Tuesday on motion of Campbell to allow him to gather additional evidence of alleged irregularities in the election.

INQUIRY ENDS DOUBT, C. E. PARLEY TOLD New York Minister Speaks at Endeavor Convention. “Because this is an age of inquiry, it is no more an age of doubt.” the Rev. R. Henkemann, New York City, said during a discussion on “Is This an Age of Faith,” at the thirtyfourth annual, convention of the Moravian Christian Endeavor Union at the First Moravian Church today. “But the chief drawback of our faith is our apparant lack of ability to explain the foundation on which it is built,” he said. “So few know just why they believe what they believe. Blind faith is useless so far as forwarding the Christian religion is concerned.” A luncheon was held at the church following the discussion and the delegates were taken on a tour of the city.
