TUNE UP BAND WAGON
BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, June. 23.-Presi-
dent Coolidge will be asked to make
at least four speeches to aid the
Hoover Curtis presidential cam
paign.
Leaders of the Republican organi-
cation today said the President
would be urged to make several ad-
dresses in the East and Middle
West, in sections where Democrats
have great strength.
The Republican committee has
decided that the most strenuous
campaign is needed in the East,
where Governor Alfred E. Smith,
anticipated Democratic presidential
nominee is most widely known.
Hoover to Be Silent
The President, therefore, prob
ably will be asked to make his
most important address in New
York State.
Meantime Herbert Hoover has
decided temporarily to conduct a
Silent campaign"
He will not appear in public or
talk politics for publication for at
least month. Hoover has deemed
it advisable to let his campaign
managers conduct the ballyhoo
and cheer-leading. The nominee
will direct all activities, however,
quietly from the background.
While the Hoover Curtis cam
paign officially was opened three
days ago with selection of Secretary
of Interior Hubert Work as chair
man of the Republican national
committee their band-wagon just is
getting tuned up, according 10
Work.
Plan Big Campaign
Plans call for placarding the
country with Hoover Curtiss pic
lures, buttonholing every voter with
Hoover buttons and stumping the
United States from coast to- coast.
Old-fashioned Republican pabu-
lun, mixed with modern political
devices, will be used in the combi-
nation. Radio will be the backbone
of the campaign, and even sky
writing will be used.
All major details of organization
have been completed with the ex-
ception of naming eastern and
western division managers. James
w. Good, Iowa. Hoover pre- conven-
ton manager, will confer with Hoo
yer today on the western manager
ship.
Hoover is anxious to have Good
work the West for him, but the
Iowan Is doubtful whether he can
neglect his Chicago law business for
four months to direct the campaign
west of the Mississippi
Secretary Hard Worked
Several eastern Republicans are
mentioned for the Atlantic man
agership Representative Tilsor
(Rep), Connecticut, who was de-
feated for the Vice President nom
ination, and Daniel E. Pomeroy
New Jersey, vice chairman of the
Republican committee, are men
toned for this task.
Hoover is beginning to show
evidence Of the strain of interview
ing the hundreds Of politicians, who
have called on him since he received
the nomination. He smiles bravelJ
and cheerfully, but nervously chews
a cigar and mops his brow FIRE.

LOOMS AS AIS
RUNNING MATE
Appears as Smiths Chief
Rival in Early Voting
at Convention.
BY RAY TUCKER

HOUSTON, June 23.-Claims that
Al Smith now has 662 assured dele
gates and reserve strength of ISL
were made today by his managers
or eighty more than necessary,
here.
These figures were given out fol-
lowing meeting of the Smith board
of strategy, consisting of George R.
van Nance, National Committee
man, Norman F. Mack of New York;
George w. Olvany, Tammany head,
and Representative of numerous
western and southern States.
AS Smith and anti-Smith forces
made their plans, it seemed that
Smiths chief rival would be Rep
resentative Cordell Hull of Tennes-
see, with almost 200 delegates from
southern States.
Favorable to Smith =
Hulls growing strength is a devel-
opment favorable rather than ad-
verse to Smith. He has exhibited
desire for harmony, has indicated he
would be strong for the New Yorker
on a platform that stressed certain
Democratic principles which he con-
sidered vital.
The outcome probably will be a
Smith-Hull slate. Hull's candidacy
appeals to Democratic leaders be-
cause it is believed he might give
the party a better chance to carry
his home state and the adjoining
border state Of Kentucky. Hull is
aalso said to have strength in In
diana.
These estimates. of. course, are
predicated on the hopt that Smiths
restatement of his wet views will
not send the dove of peace flying
out the window.
How Votes Line Up
Delegates pledged to Smith in
primaries and conventions follow:
Louisiana, 90; Idaho, 8; New
Hampshire, 8; Minnesota, "a; North
Dakota. 10; Michigan, 30: New
York, go; Wisconsin, %; Maine, IL:
