But the ve to message was so emphatic, so direct and so convincing to many that the he stile reaction that had been expected was greatly toned down. There were signs that after, thinking It over, many who es poused .the farm relief bill will feel quite relieved that the presi dent stepped in to save them from harrowing experience with an untried enthusiastic experiment. Lowden Organize It is commonly expected that the Lowden-Dawes forces will now organise to oppose the presi dent’s renomination. But there are many here who believed that the president has strengthened himself rather than injured him self by his veto. If he ever flinched at the political threats made against him, his message showed no trace of It. For not since he went »into the W hite House has he turned out such a hard hitting, unequivocal, inces- «lve document as his farm relief veto He declared In the plainest words that his Yankee vocabulary could muster that this wan no farm relief bill but a bill for the relief of packers and miller».
