Republican Nominee

Unfavorable Data to

BY JAMES l.. WEST
Associated Press staff Writer

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-CP-
While some pessimistic reports have
come to Herbert Hoover about the
present situation in the northwest
ern wheat belt. where the McNary-
Haugen plan Of farm relief has had
strong support. there were no indi-
cations today Of deep concern at 4he
general headquarters Of the repub-
lican presidential candidate.
The break in wheat prices came
before Hoover visited Cedar Rapids
a month z and was one Of the sub
ject matters Of the conferences
which he had there with leaders
from throughout the wheat belt. He
left those conferences fairly well
satisfied with the outlook for him
IN that section and the bulk N re-
ports received since that time has
not served TO lessen his confidence.

At the start Of the campaign the
northwestern section was one that
caused some republican leaders anx-

For the present the republican

where he will make at least three
major speeches and a number of
others during the next month. He
now has completed the fourth i'm
pertant paper of his campsign-the
text of the address he is to deliver
IN Dixie next month.
While the itinerary for the south
