FARM BUREAU NEUTRAL ON Al, SETTLE Leader Declares He Favors Smith Personally for Relief Stand. The Indiana Farm Bureau Federation is a non-partisian organization and will take no stand for Governro Alfred E. Smith in the presidential campaign, William H. Settle declared in a statement t day. Although he was correctly quoted m a statemnt in The Times Thursday in which he indorsed Smith's acceptance speech stand on agricultural problems, the interpretation might be misleading, Settle said. He was speaking only for himself, not for the farm federation or other officers of the organization, he declared. “As you are aware, we are not a political organization and net in politics except to secure legislation that will give to % r riculture equality with industry and labor,” Settle said today. “Neither myself nor the organization has indorsed either candidate for President. We are not directing our members to voce for either candidate, but we are laying all the facts before them pertaining to the agricultural views of both candidates. "Instead of the ihirty-four farm organizations, with which I have been working, indorsing Governor Smith’s program, Governor Smith has indorsed the program that we have been advocating during all these years. In his speech of acceptance, he states definitely that he favors the handling of surplus farm commodities in a way that would make the tariff effective. "Hoover, in his speech of last Tuesday, made it very plain that the several hundreds of millions cf dollars which he proposed that the Government might well expend to rehabilitate agriculture would only be provided as a loan and not subsidize agriculture in any way.”
