Dickinson Says Long Can’t Save Farmers
In Emmetsburg on Oct 23 Representative L. J. Dickinson of Iowa’s Tenth district addressed the Chamber of Commerce, criticizing Cyrenus Cole for dodging facts on farm relief and export controls. He argued Cole shifts subjects, cites exports, and leans toward administration loyalty, while data from the department of commerce and critics like H. A. Wallace challenge Cole’s findings. A youth from Nealbury sustained a horse injury in Bancroft, with Dr. Devine treating a broken ankle.
