sand. Farmers are not rabid against
Hoover; in fact large numbers recog-
nize his outstanding ability. Of course
Kansas is for Curtis first and last,
and expect to see him the nominee. :"
Angelo C. Scott, the lola Register,
lola, Kans.: kansas is for Curtis
but Hoover if nominated would poll
full and united republican vote. No
republican feeling against him at all
If Smith is nominated. Curtis or
Hoover would get large percentage of
democratic votes here. Smith cannot
carry Kansas against anybody"
". L. White. Daily Gazette, EN-
poria, Kans.: New York statement
absurd. Hoover, if nominated, would
sweep Kansas by a majority larger
than that of any other possible repub-
lican nominee except Curtis. Al Smith
would be weakest of all possible DEM
ocratic nominees in Kansas. Have
just made a tour of the state and this
dope comes sizzling hot from the
grassroots. This farm belt revolt
against Hoover is political bushwa of
the first water. Kansas for Curtis
first, last and all the time, but failing
him, Hoover would carry the state in
November, so stop worrying and make
hay while the sun shines"
". H. Ransom, News and Times,
Downs, Kans.: Sentiment here is
strong for Hoover for president. All
loyal Kansas, of course, desire to see
Senator Curtis nominated, but next
to Curtis, Mr.. Hoover is easily the
choice of the people of this part of the
state. In my opinion it is the belief
of prominent republicans here that
Hoover would carry Kansas over AL
Smith for the presidency by two to
one
Charles L. Bigler, editor, Goodland
News Republic, Goodland: Report
Smith could carry Kansas against
Hoover wholly unfounded Hoover
easily second choice to Curtis. Many
western Kansas democrats favor
Hoover against Al Smith. Very little
real anti-Hoover sentiment here
H. ]. Cornwell, publisher, The News,
st. John: Hoover can carry Kansas
over Al Smith by 100000. Curtis can
beat Smith by 100000"
Columbus Borin, editor, The Jour
nal, Yates Center: wWoodson county,
Kansas, has a normal republican ma
jority of 500 While all are for Curtis,
Hoover is greatly admired here and if
he and Al Smith were nominated he
would carry the county over Smith by
a thousand"
H. E. Tibbetts, The Times, Blue
Rapids: mo feeling against Hoover
in this community; in fact, Hoover is
favorite candidate of the republicans
of this community. There are very
few Smith supporters, practically none
We are for our own candidate, Charles
Curtis, first, but are ready to swing
support to Hoover if nominated"
H. c. Gresham, editor, Cheney Sen
tinel, Cheney, Kans.: ''If Hoover re-
eeives the nomination, ne will get the
100 per cent backing Of republicans
in Kansas, and will easily carry the
state by big majority. He is the
outstanding candidate and the repub-
lican convention could do no better or
bigger thing than to nominate Hoover.
His election would be by majority
comparable to Harding's first cleo
ton.
j. E. Latimer, The Herald, Pleas
anton, Kans.; Statement that Hoover
cannot carry Kansas against Al Smith
is without foundation; excepting
Charles Curtis, Hoover is much the
strongest man mentioned for presi-
dent. Any republican candidate for
president can defeat Al Smith at the
general election in this state by a
vote Of two to one"
w. E. Blackburn, The Sun, Herring
ton: "Any republican that has been
named as candidate for the presidency
could carry Kansas against Al Smith.
Curtis, Coolidge, Hoover is probably
