Strong Harding Backer
From The Trib,ne's Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, June I'm the
midst of patronage discussion with
Republican Congressman and lenders
tional Committeeman from the Blue
Grass State and better known as
"Tobe" Hert, died of apoplexy this
afternoon. The Kentucky leader had
not felt well this morning and so had
remained in bed. He did not regard
his ailment as serious, however, and
was having conference with four of
his lieutenants when, practically with
out warning, the end came at 4:15
o'clock.
Mr.. Hert arrived in Washington to
attend the meeting tomorrow OF the
Republican National Committee, on
which he had represented Kentucky
since 1915. He had conference with
Senator Ernst yesterday, shortly after
his arrival. In his last pow-wow on
sentatives Langley and Robson, and
Matt Chiffon, Of louisville, and E. T.
Frank, of Owensboro, Kentucky. Mrs.
Hert was in Louisville.
Won Prominence in 1916
Tobe Hert, as he was affectionately
known by practically every Republican
politician from Maine to California,
sprang into national prominence in
1916, when he became member of the
national committee. In that year he was
in charge of Western headquarters and
caused much amusement among the old
timers by his enthusiasm. He insisted
that he would carry Kentucky for
Hughes, and was also optimistic about
other border states, including Okla
homa
In the 1919 election he demonstrated
that this had been possibility by
carrying the state for Governor Nor
row, and last fall he carried the state
for Ernst, as Senator, by comfortable
majority, losing the electoral vote by
a very narrow margin.
At the Chicago convention a year
ago, flushed with the gubernatorial vic
tory and in absolute control of the
twenty-six delegates from Kentucky
Hert loomed as one Of the big political
forces. He formed fast alliance with
Jake Haman, whose control of the
just as strong as Hert's was of Ken
lucky.
Both were for Lowden when the con
vention opened, unGiscouraged, on the
surface at least, by the Moore ane
Goldstein disclosures which had con
vinced many of the Eastern leader:
that Lowden would not do. No single
individual was blamed more for the
nomination of Harding by hackers o1
some of the other candidates thar
Hert when, on the last day of the con
vention Hert refused to join the oppo
sition leaders in move to force ad
journment over Sunday. This move BY
Hert is believed to have made tn,
nomination of Harding certain.

This disease lives over the winter
in the roots OF infected plants, APP
pearing the following season on the
leaves. 1t spreads readily from dis
eased to healthy plants and in short
time may entirely ruin a plantation.
The best known control measure is
to burn all infected plants as soon as
the disease appears. This will pre-
vent spreading. In addition it is adj
visable to spray the canes with lime
.sulfur at the rate of 1 gallon to 40
gallons of water. This will help to
check the spread of the rust to heal
thy plants. The first spray should be
applied as soon as the disease. appears
and the second one about ten days
later.
II thickets of wild raspberries ON
blackberries occur near plantation
they should be destroyed.
