SMITH SILENT ON | CAMPAIGN PLANS
Democratic Candidate Will Not
 Disclose Future Program

Albany, N. Y.. July 16 R-Gov- ernor Alfred E. Smith, democratic presidential nominee. is keeping his plans for the immediate future to himself. He has not disclosed his program for the next few weeks and, so far as is known. he does not con- template leaving Albany for any ex- tended period before his official noti- tcation. probably about mid-August.
 A date for his notification cere- mony and that of his running mate. Senator Robinson, may be fixed this week after John J. Raskob, the new chairman of the democratic national committee, has had opportunity to consult the wishes of both nominees.
 Raskob. after a weekend at his summer home in Maryland, planned to take up various phases of cam paign arrangements in New York today with party leaders. Among the tasks to be disposed of is the selection of the members of the gen. eral advisory committee, headed by Senator Gerry of Rhode Island, the women's committee, of which Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross of Wyoming is chairman, and the finance commit tee which will function under the direction of Herbert Lehman of New York. In addition, a decision must be reached regarding regional head quarters.
 As for Gov. Smith, he is devoting much of his time here to the trans action of state business. On his cal endar today was a series of hear ings on the appeals of a group of men in the death house at Sing Sing for clemency.
 The presidential nominee to all appearances has closed the book on his tilt with William Allen White, Kansas editor, and the Rev. O. K. Miller. reform advocate who makes Albany his headquarters. over the governors record as a legislator.

DOCTORS ENDORSE
 QUICK, SAFE WAY
 TO END HEADACHE

Quick. sure >relief-then the joy of freedom from that tired. ner- .ous, "headachy' feeling.
 This, briefly, is the experience of Miss Theresa Mccartney and num- bers of New Britain people.
 Miss McCartney, for example, learned from her doctor that frequent constipa- tion was responsible for her run down condition. Food waste which remained in her intestines was being absorbed by her whole system. causing her to feel sick most of the time.
 On the doctors advice then she began using Ayers Tablets--a hospital certified compound Of pure, healthful vegetable ex- tracts. Gently yet thoroughly they cleaned out the poisonous waste and she quickly noticed the big difference in the way one feels. But she continued the treatment according to directions ard soon her in- testines were acting naturally, without need of further treatment. Today. the doc tor reports, Miss Mccartney is entirely free from headaches and has the clear, ruddy compilations that comes with wig orous health and energy.
 Ayers Tablets are hospital certified used more extensively than any other medicine in the world-and can be had for 25c a package at all druggists

Hoover talked with the newspaper men but said he l would have nothing to say about poll tics and issues, until after he had de- livered his acceptance speech on Au- gust II.
 'The point of major interest is whether any fish are left in the Brule." MT. Hoover said with a smile. "I fished up here fifteen years ago but I wonder whether any trout are left now that the president has been here"
 Asked about the farm question. MT. Hoover said emphatically that he was not going into that or any other question prior to the opening of the campaign with his first speech at Leland Stanford University sta 1 dium next month.
 ! The candidate was informed that a new aviation field was being con- structed near Palo Alto and was in- terrogated as to whether he contem- I plated making use of 1t during his stay in California.

At six o'clock he will leave Duluth on his special train for Omaha. Neb.. the next stop before
 he gets back on the straight route to San Francisco.
