C. E. Bradfute, president of the farm bureau federation, expressed this view today, at the same time agreeing with Mr. Coolidge . that the time is now appropriate for a survey of farm conditions.

(By the Associated Press) .The three big parties have lost nd time In plac ing their preferences before the electorate. Three election mani festos are out tonight. The labor manifesto is signed among other, by' Ramsajr MacDonald. John Rob ert Clynes, Rpbej-t. Smlllle; -George Lansbury and Arthur' Henderson. The conservative manifesto Is signed by Stanley Baldwin, and the liberal, by H. H. Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George. The first noticeable feature, which undoubtedly is an out- growthh of the hew experience of the country In having had a labor administration Cor the first time, is the small part how played in the election literature by foreign affairs and the ; defense question These are scarcely mentioned in the labor manifesto, apart from the Russian treaties and a brief paragraph cl&imng Credit for the Improved - relations with France and Germany and noting: the im portant steps j taken at Geneva to ward ; arbitration, j security and general disarmament. : In the libera) document, allu sions are equally scanty but in the conservative manifesto, following the tory tradition, the empire .and foreign relations' are given greater attention, but still are overshad owed by social and economic questions. In reference to foreign affairs, Mr. Baldwin pronounces bis party for "cooperation' in all matters admitting bf common ac tion with the United States" for the support and strengthening of the league of nations on practical lines. : ' .

Revelle said. , Government Aot sarpnsea The verdict came as jno surprise to the government, it was said. Revelle declared before the ver dict came in that the government realized that its case against tne defendant was not strong. In fact the question of dismissing the In dictments was raised shortly after the grand Jury returned its find ings two years ago, but Attorney General Daugherty ruled that having been placed under a cloud by the Indictments the defendants were entitled to have their names cleared by a Jury, Revelle said. It developed , today through rec ords in the office of United. States Marshal Edward Been; that Maj or General A'delbert : Cronkhitei father of thV slain man and mov ing spirit in the investigations of the last six years had been sub poenaed by the government as a witness more 'than '30 days' ago but has never' answered the sub poena Several telegrams have been" sent to General Cronkhite bv the federal authorities within the last .three weks and the only response received was about 10 days ago to the- effect that the general misunderstood the nature of the summons. Pothier Unmoved ' ' Pothier showed no .emotion eith er before or after his acquittal. Asked about his Intentions and how soon he would return to hU wife and baby In Central Falls, R. 14 he reDlied that he would do nothing ' until he had made ar rangements with the government for transportation. Under, the court's Instructions, the jury might have brought in an. of four verdicts. Tney are: Guilty of murder in the first de gree, guilty of murder, in the first deeree without the death penalty. guilty of murder in the second de gree or not guilty, i The jurors ihitod from reaching a verdict of manslaughter and If they determined that Major cronK hlte met his death at the nana 01 Pnthief accidentally they were in structed ? to acquit, even though they found the defendant guuty of gross carelessness and negll men In the use of his pistol. The manslaughter verdice. was with held through the statute ot ami tations which provides that a per son cannot be brought to trial oh this charge three years after the crime was committed.
