tdge. probably will confer with tht
President at the Summer White House
in Wisconsin before launching an active
campaign.
Preliminary details of this campaign
are scheduled for discussion here tomor-
row in conferences with Hoover's field
forces, due to arrive from Kansas City
today and tomorrow. Among the prob
lens slated for consideration are the
date OF the Commerce Secretary's resig-
nation from the cabinet, the selection
OF a chairman for the Republican ma
tional committee and plans for speak
ing tour.
While Hoover has informed his aides
that he will not retire from office for
the present" it is regarded as extremely
likely that he may decide to withdraw
from the cabinet within a few weeks
1t is understood he will take the advice
Of bis campaign managers in this con-
nectiou.
Likely to Go West.
In any event it seems certain he viii
not forego his annual Summer trip TO
his home in Palo Alto, Calf, where II
Is planned to notify him formally of the
nomination. perhaps early IN August.
A visit to the Summer White House in
all probability viii be the first stop In
his journey TO the West Coast. Hoover
continues TO maintain silence on his
plans for the Summer, but his aides ap-
pear 20 be of the belief that the trip TO
California viii be a matter Of course. A
stop-over at Brule, Wis, they indicated
would be a quite proper courtesy"
II was pointed out that Secretary
Hoover paid the President a visit at
Rapid City last Summer, en- route TO
California, and that it was "the usual
thing" for cabinet officers 10 drop in
al the Summer White House TO pay
their respects.
This year Hoover would have a
special tnducement for such a visit.
II Is known he was deeply affected by
the message Of congratulatiOn sent him
by Air. Coolidge, because of its sincere
peTEonal tenor, and he wishes TO thank
him in person for 1t. Moreover.
Hoover has elected TO follow the
Coolidge policies. and II is but natural
that he should seek the counsel Of the
President In his aspirations for further
snce Of those policies.
Ccnfers with McSary.
The farm relief question, so thorough
~ thre9hed cut by Mr.. Coolidge, al
ready has been carried to the Hoover
doorstep. II was placed there yeSter-
. Gay, In a decidedly modified form. by
Senator Mclgary. Exhibiting a con-
caiistory attitude with regard to his
nauch-booted-abont McNary- -Haugen
bill, the Oregon Senator called on
Hoover and expressed willingness 70
sstetrack the cooIidge-castigated equal
tzation fee in the hope Of gaining some
of farm from the newt
Congress.
The necessity for some measure Of
relief is SO imperative" Senator Nc
Nary announced following his inter-
view with Hoover, Chat differences of
opinion must be composed and a COM
mon ground found Tor successful con-
gresgionai action. In my judgment the
enactment Of the bill that passed the
Last session Of the Congress. with the
omission Of the equalization fee. would
improve the condition Of agriculture.
At least IL would supply the basis upon
ws9icn helpful legislative action could
be fashioned"
The Senator said he found Hoover
sympathetic and anxious 10 relieve
the distress Of the farm population, /"
and be expressed his belief that Presi-
cent Coolidge also would agree 70 such
q bill.
