condition of the cotton after the
heavy rains, the candidates have
been waxing eloquent from the
stump. The office seekers have
smoothe out and remodeled, their
speeches till they are sure they
have attained the peak of perfec-

many thousand book matches, pla-

Philadelphia, Pa., June 24.-— An
undercurrent report that the Roose

opportunity to drop vice-President
Garner from the national ticket
met with complete denial when
National Chairman James A. Far-

ment in his speech opening the
Democratic national convention at
noon Tuesday.
The report is believed to have re-
sulted from questions asked Farley
at his press conference about how
many names would be presented
for nomination of a vice-presiden-
tial candidate. Farley said the only
name to be presented for President
would be Mr. Roosevelt’s, the only

American Farm Bureau Federa-

gallery listening to the conven-
tion’s addresses.
Hearings to Be Held
The Secretary said the final draft
of the farm plank would not be
completed until after hearings be-
fore the resolutions committee
Wednesday. He declined to say
whether or not he planned to ap-
pear before the committee. He ex-
pected to return to Washington
Wednesday.
“I talked with Senator Wagner
Tuesday morning,” Wallace said,
“and outlined my views to him.
The farm plank will be drafted
by the committee after hearing
views of farm organization leaders
and other interested persons.”
O’Neal said he would present to
the committee the recommenda-
tions of the Farm Bureau Federa-
tion which were offered at Cleve-
land. They dealt principally with
the control of crop production, the
promotion of reciprocal trade
agreements, and the improvement
of farm income.
Wallace was reported to favor a
long-range farm plank, which
would include Strong endorsement
of crop insurance, and the princi-
ple of production control.
In some quarters, it was indica-
ted that while a brief, broad farm
plank might not have room for
approval of crop insurance, it
could include an attack on farm
tenancy, approval of the principle
of production control, endorsement
of commodity loans and approval

Fort Worth, Texas, June 19.
-—Detected by a blood stain on
the side, a truck believed to be
the one which sideswiped a
passenger car last night at
Waxahachie, severing the arm
of the driver, was picked up by
police on the north side early
Friday and its, occupants held
for Ellis county officers.
The truck was located at a
loading dock. In addition to the
blood stains, officers found
what appeared to be part of
a man’s arm caught in the
woodwork. The 27-year-old
driver said he knew nothing of
the accident, adding that he
left Marquez, Leon county, at
5 p. m. yesterday for Fort
Worth with a load of cattle.
His companion is 17 years old.
In the collision which occurred
on Highway 34 three miles east of
Waxahachie, a truck sideswipped a
car driven by Troy ■ Morton of |
Itasca. Morton was proceeding
south with his left arm dangling
outside the car. His machine con-
tained two children, who were
sleep and were not injured. Im-
mediately after the accident, they
were taken .in charge by Waxaha-
chie residents, who knew them,
