Henry A. Wallace, Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, told a farm audience in a campaign speech here yesterday that if the Republican Party wins the forthcoming elections, "the death knell of fair play for the farmer will have sounded."
Mr. Wallace addressed several thousand farmers here in his hame state—which in recent unofficial polls has returned a majority of votes for the Republican Presidential candidate, Mr. Wendell Willkie.
"Mr. Wallace, a soft-spoken man, urged his fellow Iowans to support him and President Roosevelt so that policies he inaugurated as Secretary of Agriculture in Mr. Roosevelt's 8 Cabinet might be continued.
As Secretary of Agriculture in President Roosevelt's Cabinet, a post he resigned to campaign for the Vice Presidency, Wallace held the same position which his father, Mr. Henry C. Wallace, occupied in the Cabinet of the late Republican President, Warren G, Harding.
It was about the time of his father's ascendancy to the Republican cabinet that young Henry broke from the Republican faith because he was impatient with the farm policies and the tariff tenets of the party higher-ups. He transferred his politics to ihe Democratic Party, supporting Alfred E. Smith in 1928 and Mr.
Roosevelt in 1932.
