FARM FORCES OPEN FIGHT TO UNSEATSETTLE Everett McClure Quits as Director to Take Stump for Hoover. Resignation of Everett McClure, prominent Republican farmer, of Aurora, Ind., as Tenth district director of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation was interpreted in political circles today as the fore--runner of an effort to unseat William H. Settle, strong Smith-for-President advocate, as president of the organization. McClure’s resignation was disclosed when he was announced as an acquisition to the speakers’ bureau of the Republican State committee today. He will make speeches throughout the campaign in behalf of Herbert Hoover’s candidacy, discussing farm issues State and National. John G. Brown, chairman of the agricultural department of the Republican State committee, made the announcement. His resignation, McClure explained, was to comply with the rules and regulations of the Federation which prohibit an officer or director fro mtaking an active part in partisan politics during his tenure of office. Long Leader of Farmers McClure was master of the Indiana State grange two years; president of the Dearborn County farm bureau nine years; vice president of the Indiana farm bureau federation three years, and director of the federation five years. Discussion of McClure’s resignation will come before the directors here Monday when a test may be made of sentiment for Settle’s removal. Settle, sharply criticised for his expressions of “personal” indorsement of Governor Alfred E. Smith’s farm relief program as opposed to that of the Republican nominee, crystalized strong Republican farm sentiment against him in certain quarters, it was understood. Directors were balanced politically when they pondered platform pledges of the two parties a few weeks ago. McClure's resignation, it was thought, might arouse further antagonism in the rank and file to Settle and result in his displacement. Invites Others to Resign "I have believed and still believe in the farm bureau,” McClure’s resignation said. “I have worked and shall continue to work for the best interests of the farmers of Indiana. I feel that partisan actions, speeches and writings will tend to disrupt and destroy the organization and will turn member against member. “I invite other members of the officials and board of directors who desire to take part in partisan politics to join me in resigning from office and then proceed to work for their political preferences.” Settle said McClure's resignation “hould have been tendered to his district organization, for it will be called on to name a successor. Asked if he was aware of an organized effort to unseat him.i he said, “I hear all kinds of stories.” INSTALL ‘LOCK ED’S A FES Gas Station Attendants Unable to Open New Boxes. Bad news for bandits. Standard Oil Company filling stations in the city recently were equipped with large safes that the attendants are unable to open. Attendants may put lump sums in the safes through openings in the top, but the money is taken out by messengers who make the rounds in armored cars. It looks like a tough winter for the bandit fraternity.
