J j . ; r entrenched opinion that the senator ?o- aggressive in the interest of th< farmers were proceeding in a some what hypocritical manner. Senate Glass, for instance, in the heat, o: debate, exclaimed: "Any sane man is obliged to sym pathize with the agricultural inter ests in the exiting- situation and t( do anything that he may to relieve that situation.
