Reno Calls for Farmers to Abandon Party Lines in Union Speech
Milo Reno of Des Moines urged farm families to secure a square deal by controlling the market rather than depending on party politics. He argued prohibition will dominate the 1930s campaign while farm relief is sidelined and criticized speculative booms and cheap production. About 400 people heard the talk in Raymond with Farm Union leaders from Black Hawk County and surrounding townships attending. Plans for the Des Moines convention were discussed as delegates prepared to travel.
