Kansas Voters Largely Indifferent to Coolidge Nomination
A Baltimore Sun correspondent reports Kansas farmers and citizens show little interest in President Coolidge’s veto of the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill. Only one of 160 Kansas farmers favored the measure, and Coolidge’s prestige among Kansans appears largely intact though crop concerns may shift sentiment if drought or bad weather continues. The dispatch notes a narrow regional revolt in Iowa and Minnesota, with potential shifts in Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma if crop conditions worsen.
