Farmers Union activity and Brookhart support in Iowa politics
The Farmers Union in southern Iowa expands into northern areas opposing the Farm Bureau with radical legislative views and Brookhart support. Speaker tours in Kossuth counties feature Democratic candidate Clyde Herring, while Brookhart is seen as unbeatable by some, with expectations of strong Democratic support in Kosuth. A proposed ten cent per gallon gasoline tax could have raised funds for road maintenance in Iowa.
