Farmers Expected To Rally At R N C Amid Doubt

Governor McMullen of Nebraska and Conrad Mann promise housing for over 100000 visitors with room in parks and hotel rooms. In Washington Hoover and Senator Borah discuss platform matters with Borah seeking planks on prohibition enforcement and foreign debts.
