Farm Relief Fails as Butler Proposes Dry Law Change
The Kansas Telee Republican convention rejects McNary-Haugen farm relief despite spirited support. Dr Nicholas Murray Butler urged a modification plank, but the floor voted to table the proposal. Delegates from Maine and others argued for change while leaders like Borah opposed it. The platform then pledges tariff and cooperative measures to restore farm purchasing power and economic equality with industry. The session ends with Hoover nomination anticipated and debate over agriculture policy continuing.
