Midwest and Nation Endorsement Planks Adopted by Committee
The farm plank backs federal aid to dispose of surplus crops without naming McNary-Haugen or an equalization fee, yet aligns with the McNary-Haugen advocate. Prohibition plank wins approval from Wagner and Smith, excluding Governor Moody of Texas. The committee makes corruption in government the dominant campaign issue, noting oil scandals and Harry F. Sinclair’s Republican contributions and pledging a truthful Democratic campaign.
