FARMERS UNION
ENDORSES LEMKE
FOR_PRESIDENT
Farmers Leader Starts State
Boom for Fiery North
Dakota Congressman
Congressman "William F. Lemke, oi
Fargo, North Dakota, non-partisan
.aggressive supporter of the proposals
pf the Farmers Union, delivered a blasting attack on the Roosevelt policies,
•and was proposed by the Michigan
Farmer's Union as their next candidate for "President of the United States,
when he spoke "Wednesday September
25th. at the Athletic Field Stadium in
the high point of the second annual
Michigan Farmers' Union convention
p held at Owosso September 24 and 25.
The more than 3.000 delegates and
members of the Michigan Union rose
to their feet and unanimously endorsed Lemke when his name was presented to them by Walter Nelson, Detroit
attorney w;ho was disbarred several
years ago for one year for his activities in the Detroit bank investigation which resulted in his work in the
Farmers' Union.
Nelson stated to a reporter after
the meeting that he was authorizec"
by national officers of the Union to present Lemke name, and that undoubtedly Michigan's endorsement, of
Lemke for President will be taken up
by other state Unions and that the
militant congressman will unquestionably be the candidate supported by
the Union at the next election. Lemke
had little to say and evaded making
any answers„as whether or not he will
run.
Congressman Lemke, in his speech,
showed no mercy in flaying the triple
A which he termed "the crippled A".
The farm leader praised the work ol
the late Senator Huey Long and predicted that future generations will
view him as second only to Lincoln
and Jefferson.
He charged that the United States
no, longer has a representative government and in his explanation of this,
stated that it alone wa3 the reason
for the Frazier-Lemke bill not getting
out of committee for a vote in the
House.
The whole nation, in the opinion of
Congressman Lemke, must, look to
the Farmers' Union to get. the country
out of the mire of the depression,
"The Union cannot.be debauched by
the department of agriculture," he
said. And In the first of several
attacks on the Farm Bureau, he said.
"The.- Union is the. only farm organization, that won't take a sandwich and
sell-the farmers into slavery."
He told his- farmer audience to And
out ..what legislators, favor the Union
program and then remember them on
- election day. He praised the work ot
Congressman "William Blackney, and
Roy Woodruff, of Bay City, who were
introduced at the close of the stadium
fcrograni.
Lenike said the problem is not overproduction,--He called it "under consumption anl mal-distribution." He
asserted that the United States de-
partihettt-pf agriculture is gdilty of
•"national lunacy". Lemke said last
yea*. ,224 million head of cattle, 58
s million'* pounds of meat < production,
138. million pounds of fresh fish, rye,
barley, oats, wheat and corn were imported into this country which should
have been raised by the American
farmer.- ■ ■ -
s, After a long fight over whether or
^X' not.'ithe dues should be raised and'how
they- should be apportioned to the
state and 16cal units, the committee
report was finally adopted. The dues
are to remain at ?1,50 and will be apportioned $1.25 to the state organization and 25 cents for the local. This
Was passed with opposition.
A number of local farm Union mem-
hers from adjoining communities
about Clare attended -this meeting.

CLARE DEFEATED

FRIDAY TO 6
Reed City Comes Here Today and Lake City the
Opponents Next
Wednesday
Clare outplayed and outfQUght a
Strong St. Louis teain through three
quarters of fast brilliant football last!
Friday, only to have Lady Luck turn
on the "cold shoulder" to the "Fight
ing Irish" and allow the St. Louh'
"-water babies" to turn a block punt
Into a touchdown and to convert that
extra all-important, winning point.
Clare proved to the large crowd oi*
St. Louis and Clare fans that they
had left their rabbits feet at home on
the opening kickoff when Watson,
Clare's left end, fumbled a punt to let
St. Louis recover the- ball. The St.
Louis quarterback, booted along,
twisting, punt down to the Irish 20
yard line where Parish, twisted, and
weaved the ball up to Clare's 30 yard
line. T.hen it seemed that the "gracious. Lady" had decided to favor Clare
as the four fast-stepping Bombers,
assisted- by'.brilliant blocking in. the
line, set* a new conference record
when they ran up. eight .consecutive*
first' downs. Then the . ."Damsel of
"Destiny" . frowned as the boys ' from
Clare started to score from the five
yiard line. One of Clare's white headed
back-field terrors, his hands-cold from
the biting wind, fumbled the ball as
he was going over the. goal line, St,
Louis recovered and kicked put ol
danger. Again Clare crashed Its waj
up the field, this time they .were stopped just ten yards short of a touchdown when St. Louis" intercepted a
pass—Clare attempted two more times
to score during the first half but
although the Irish were unsuccessful
they allowed St. Louis to pull only
four running plays.
Clare scored in the, 3rd quarter as
a result of hard running by the bombers, Tope, Parish, Bell, and Sanforc
and good clean blocking by the line
which was composed of Anderson,
"WUtson, Verette, Haring, Cappeart,
Callihan, and Dwyer..
