FOR PARTY HARMONY

publicans, Says New Jer-
sey Senator.

A plea to the members OF his party
to avoid discord at the Houston con-
vention next week was made in state
nent here last night by Senator Ed
wards. Democrat, of New Jersey.
Pointing out that the United States
is normally Republican, Senator Ed
wards told Democrats that in order to
win they must show united front by
sacrificing their individual likes and
diSlikes to party regularity"
Senator Edwards declared that
harmony and concord in fundamental
opinions among the delegates at Hous-
ton will spell sure defeat of the c. O. p
in November" He expressed the belief
that the Hoover hackers are praying
for repetition of the Madison Square
Garden convention of 1924
The New Jersey Senator said the
Republican platform 'strangled farm
relief and prohibition, the only two
active issues In the campaign" Senator
Edwards defended the record of Gov.

Hoover Visit Not Immediate.
The impression here is that Secre-
tary Hoover Is not expected to pay a
visit to Cedar Island Lodge for some
little tine-at least not before August.
This is in spite of the predictions and
reports emanating from Washington.
The general belief is that the Pres
ident would like Secretary Hoover 10
continue at the head of the Commerce
Department as long as he can convient-
ly do so without interfering with his
campaign plans. 1t Is thought also
that Mr. Hoover will tender his reSig-
nation in person. at which time. the
President and he will discuss the filing
of the post he will vacate and certain
features of the Republican campaign
plans.
Butler Tells of Nomination.
Former Senator Butler. chairman of
the Republican national committee,
who was the first overnight guest at
Cedar Island Lodge since the Cool
idgeS arrival, before leaving for Boston
last night. said that he told the Presi-
dent how the nominations of Secretary
Hoover and Senator Curtis were brought
about in Kansas City. He acquainted
the President with other matters deal
ing with the convention and the future
of the party, but made it clear that
their political talk did not have bear
ing upon any future participation of
the President in the general campaign.
In compliance with the Presidents
desire for rest, no engagements are be-
ing made for him. To those who have
called at the executive Office to make
appointments or to invite the President
to some function or another or TO some
nearby city or section, Secretary San
ders has said that the President wants
to remain in retirement for at least a
month, that he is not going TO accept
any invitations before that time.
