FILLS CREEL WITH FISH

Stanford University, CAL, Aug. 8.
from the primaries
in Missouri, one Of the border and
doubtful states, were carefully scru-
tinized, today by Herbert Hoover in
an effort TO determine whether they
would furnish m index to the result
in the national election there in
November.
The chief interest Of the Repub-
lican presidential candidate centered
on the Democratic senatorial race,
in which Charles M. Hay of St.
Louis, q dry, had rolled up q COM
manding lead on the early returns
over his chief opponent, James A:
Collet, Of Salisbury, = wet, who had
the endorsement Of Senator James
A. Reed. It is no secret that Re-
publican party leaders would well
come = victory by Hay, rs this would
place q wet presidential candidate
and q dry senatorial candidate on
the Democratic ticket in November.
They contend that the dry sena-
torial candidate could not be in SYM
pathy with the views Of Governor
Alfred E. Smith on the prohibition
issue, and that this would work in
favor Of the Republican candidates
all along the line. Since national
issues were not ct stake in Kansas,
the results Of the primaries there
carried only passing interest to the
G. o. p. chieftains. Anyhow, they
are confident that Hoover's running
mate, Senator Charles Curtis, is
certain to keep that state in line in
the general election, % he has been
the commanding figure in politics
for many years.
Fishin' Was Good
The Republican presidential nomi-
nee was all smiles today over the
success of q fishing trip which he
made yesterday to = lake 80 miles
south Of this place. He slipped
away during the morning hours, and
returned ia mid-AfteruOon with his
creel fairly we'll filled, having taken
out Of the water the legal limit Of .
catch for one day, 10 pounds plus
one additional fish.
Thus Hoover discovered that he
could have better luck, almost at
his back yard, in pursuing the willy
trout, than attended his efforts dur
ing the long motor trip he made last
week with nearly half Z hundred
friends and newspaper correspond
ents in the mountains of northern
California and southern Oregon.
Likes Hail, Hail
While general plans for the noti-
fication ceremonies here Saturday
are in the hands Of q committee Of
Stanford University officials and
party leaders, Hoover is consulted
regarding some Of the details. He
has been consulted on some features
Of the musical program by professor
Ernest w. Martin, director Of the
Stanford band, one of those which
will furnish music for the occasion.
Hoover has informed the director
that "Hail, Hail, the Gangs All
Here" is one Of his favorites. He
was approached regarding that be-
cause the New York National Guard
recently played it for Governor Al
fred E. Smith, the Democratic candi-
date.
"But I won't ask you to play Side
walks Of New York. the Repub-
lican nominee smilingly told the
musician.
Palo Alto is going to declare =
holiday Saturday in honor Of Hoover
and his notification. There will be-
Z half holiday in San Francisco any
way, and the railroad end bus lines
are preparing to handle = record
crowd fro,n Tat city.
