FARMERS’ INDICTMENT ANTAGONISTIC TO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE. (A. & N.Z.) NEW YORK, Nov. 2. At St. Louis (Missouri) 300 agricultural leaders from 20 mid-west and southern States, in a sweeping indictment of the foes of farm relief, adopted a resolution demanding the re-enact-ment of legislation effectively incorporating the principles of the McNaryHaagen Bill, which Mr Coolidge declared unconstitutional in February last. The resolution criticised Mr Coolidge’s farm policy, and an appeal was issued to the great agricultural sections of the nation to throw the»r voting support to candidates favourable to farm relief in the approaching Presidential election, regardless of previous padty allegiance. The delegates declared that Mr Coolidge was “barren of constructive proposals,” and criticised him for “nullifying by veto an Act of Congress for Agriculture. ’ ’
