Hoover Farm Statement Called Clever Delusion
A printed attack on Herbert Hoover's agriculture message describes it as a clever delusion and a bank of rhetoric aimed at farmers. William Hirth, publisher of Missouri Farmer, condemns Hoover for eight years of Republican power and questions his appeal to farmers before votes. Richard F. Cleveland joins Governor Smith campaign efforts in Maryland as a campaign speaker selection. The piece also notes a quip about billboard advertising wealth and a jab about architectural abortions in a restricted district.
