 Curtis, from the farm belt, is ad- mittedly big bid to keep farmers from quitting the ticket in view of their leaders disappointment at de- feats in the convention's platform. Former Rep. Poly Tincher of Kansas, who originally nominated Curtis for president. predicted today that this gesture to the west will ! bring good party results in Novem- Der.
 Farmers Loyal to Party
 Talk that the farmers won't support the republican ticket in No vember is the bunk" Tincher said. "They have always got relief from the republican party, and they know they will get it again."
 His observations may be regarded as typical of the tactics to be em- ployed in wooing back disgruntled farm elements.
 The farmers are to be told that Hoover has promised constructiNely to work out a relief program lnso- far as it lies within the party's pow CT so to do. They will be reminded of Curtis vote for their McNary- Haugen bill. though. by way or party regularity. he declined to vote to override President Coolidges veto thereof. They will also be told that the party's selection of vice pres ident from the center of the farm belt means that the republicans are really deeply interested i'll the farm CTS plight.
 The strategy already being map ped out for the campaign calls for an invasion of the border political states and the democratic solid south:" and for special woong of the farmers in the Dakotas. Minne- sota and Illinois.
 If, as Republican leaders antici- pate, Gov. Alfred E. smith of New York is named as the democratic presidential candidate at Houston the fight will be carried sharply to the democratic camp.
 Chairman Moses of the convention gave an indication in his introduce ton speech Wednesday Of the par tvs plan in this direction.
 Drive On Democrats
 In the first place. the republicans intend to set up q charge of Tam many corruption" and point to grating scandals recently uncovered in Tammany's stronghold, New York city.
 Secondly, the south will be told Gov. smith is q wet" The republic: can party by it's new dry plank has turned further to the dry side. and the indications are it will be the ul- tra dry party before the campaign is far along especially if the repub- licans can make the label Of wet" stick to their opponents. There will be a strong effort to reap the bene- fit ot dissatisfaction among some southern democratic clements rs- ported to exist over prohibition and religious issues. Special drives are understood to be ready in Texas, Alabama and Mississippi.
 The convention closed at 2:22 D. m. yesterday after Curtis had been named with 1oJ2 votes. Candl-
