Farm Policy May Unify Democrats
Democratic leaders seek rallying points against Republican farm policies at a September Chicago conference. Gov.

Mitchell frames the event as a push for Democratic senatorial candidates next year. High farm price supports are among the few issues uniting the 21 endangered incumbents across the party. Southern Democrats and Stevenson supporters may overlook differences to back profarmer programs, with several noted Senators among those up for reelection.
