REVELATION
Des Moines Iowa, Oct. 4. An effort to check the rapid drift to the Democratic Party of the debt-laden farmers of the Middle West, was begun by President Hoover in a speech at Des Moines to-day.
The general opinion, however, is that the Republican effort is too late. The return of Mr. Franklin Roosevelt to the White House us a result of next month's cicction is regarded' as almost certain.
Evidence of the unpopularity of the Republicans in the Middle West af present was strikingly provided by a huge anti-Hoover demonstration, in which thousands
