-(F-While there is a general

tion, at this stage Of his campaign,

not entirely the case.
Developments in the ",olid south.
as the presidential rae, gets its be-
lated start, probably hold as much
interest for the Republican nominee
as those in any other section of the
country. This is due in a measure
to reports which were brought to
him here at notification time, and
also messages which he has re-
ceived froM that section as to the
reception Of his acceptance speech.
While it is still too early for him
to formulate his plans for two and
a half months remaining before
election time, it is fairly certain that
he will invade the south, speaking
at least at Memphis, Tenn, which
was his headquarters the first phase
of his Mississippi flood relief work
last year. Whether he will extend
his itinerary to take in other cities
further southwark probably will de-
pend upon conditions six weeks or
two months from now. It may be
that he will go into Alabama and
one or two other states from which
have come reports of growing SEN
timent in favor of his candidacy.
Hoover tod,s' put the finishing
touches upon his second political
utterance Of the campaign, to be
delivered at his West Branch, Iowa
birthplace next Tuesday. The

ing the final revision. The nominee

DRY LEADER Is CALLER

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 15.-(AP)-
A week from tonight, on the steps he
so often climbed years ago as :
member Of the state legislature,
Governor Alfred E. Smith will in
form the nation where he stands on
what he believes to be the issues Of
the day.
The notification exercises will
thrust the Democratic presidential
nominee into the real campaign for
the presidency, and there is every
indication that he is anxious to get
them over with 50 that he can begin
his campaign with the acceptance
speech as his chief background.
No speaking itinerary has been
mapped out for the governor beyond
the notification ceremony, and It i
doubtful whether the campaign will
actually get under way before Labor
Day. In the meantime he has sew.
eral engagements in New York and
New Jersey, but national politics are
expected to be avoided in whatever
remarks he makes.
Prepare Tor Crowd
Arrangements are being made te
handle the largest crowd ever to rs.
semble on the grounds of the state
capitol. The stands are in place, but
because of the small amount Of space
on the east steps, where the cere.
mony. will be held, only about 2,80(
persons will have seats. These will
include members Of the notification
and national committees, and Other
party dignitaries. Seats also have
been arranged for several hundred
newspaper men.
After firing the third advance ir
his tilt with the Rev. John Roach
Straton yesterday, Smith held The
first Of series Of political confer.
ences with party leaders, receiving
Senator Carter Glass Of Virginia
who helped frame the law enforce.

The governor informed DR.. Stra.

yesterday, that unless he consented
to repeat his charges against Smiths
public record in the Calvary Baptist
church, Of which he is pastor, and al
low Smith to reply where they were
made, the proposed debate would bt
out Of the question.
