...follow the leadership of President Roosevelt." Tempered editorials appeared, like that of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, which concluded: "The Government's proposition is part cash and part gamble; Reno's proposition is all gamble." Even such a hot-head as grizzled old Governor William Henry ("Alfalfa Bill") Murray of Oklahoma counseled farmer?s to be patient with the Administration's farm policy, pleading: "Give the Congress and President an opportunity. If they fail, then you may talk about other methods." The Green Eagle began to look poorly when Governor Clyde Herring of Iowa, after a telephone call...
