FINAL WEEKS OF
CAMPAIGN WILL
Be STRENUOUS
BY CARL D. GROAT
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. %. - The
presidential campaign rushed into
the home stretch today, with only
fortnight still to run.
Indications are this last two weeks
will see the race stripped to essen
tials, the extraneous issues which
cluttered the early stretches dropped.
Unless signs fail prosperity in one
form or another and probably pro-
hibition will be the main rallying
cries.
Herbert Hoover makes probably
the most important speech of his
campaign, in Madison Square Gar
den tonight.
Gov. Smith will rest briefly at
Albany before smashing into his
eastern campaign.
The Republicans will be aided by
president Dawes and Former
Secretary of State Hughes in the
closing days. They lay great store
by these two prominent figures.
The Democrats have no "aces in
the hole' so far as known, but are
relying for many votes on the pro-
verbal Smith whirlwind finish.
Two Breaks In Week
The past week was characterized
by two distinctly new developments.
Gov. Smith attacked Coolidge eco
nomy, and drew administration fire
here, especially from Secretary of
Treasury Mellon who argued, in eff
feet, that Smith did not know where
of he spoke when de discussed fed
eral expenses. The second "break
came in the Washington govern

headquarters said it knew nothing
of the matter while Chairman Work
of the Republican National commit
tee, former secretary of interior, dis
missed it with the statement that
people are tired of the oil matter.
Smith seized upon the incident to
suggest people are not only tired but
"disgusted with the oil develop
ments.
Whispers" cropped up the past
week, and Hoover headquarters de

ed hurriedly to a waiting automo-
bile.
His visit here will take on the
appearance of a real campaign visit
tonight when he appears to challenge
Smith, before the thousands in

can leaders told him this meeting
would bring his visit to close in
a veritable blaze of Republican en-
thusiasm.
Hoover was up early today, after

he said at a conference with news

"The only danger is overconfi

publican party in quarter of ;
century than there is at this
moment. We have an able organiza

country for the Republican cause
than in years.
When asked the reason for his
confidence, Hoover replied that i
was the activity Of workers in the

ALBANY, \. y, Oct. 22.-Ignor-

and set out for the links today to

CHILD BELIEVED
TO HAVE DROWNED
IN ELDER CANAL
Doll Found Floating in
Ditch Indicates Little
Ones Fate.

Martha Gcislcr, thrce-ycar-0Nd
Geisler of the McCabc School dis.
Grisler of the McCabe School dis
trict, is lost.
Search for the little girl is cen
tered along the Elder canal, it be
ing believed that the child fell into
its waters from a bridge near her
home. Her doll, found in the canal
about mile below the bridge, gives
crcdcncc to this theory.
The parents Of the child missed her
first about ) O'Clock Saturday af
ternoon. The mother had just given
Martha a bath and was dressing her
up in clean clothing. The dressing
had reached the stage of stockings
and shoes when Martha spicd the
family dog in the yard. With one
foot stockingcd and shocd and the
other bare, the child ran into the
yard to play with the dog.
Other duties occupied the mother
for time, then suddenly she miss
ed the little girl. Calling failed to
bring reply and search of the inn
mediate premises was also futile.
Her footprints were found leading
to the bridge over the Elder canal.
Martha never went near the canal
in her play about tht house but
she had evidently, on this occasion,
followed the dog. At one point
tracks led into corn field, the
child evidently having chased the
dog in and out between the stalks.
At the bridge were found the last
footprints but these showed that the
child had run back and forth be-
tween the corn field and the bridge.
1t is the general belief that the
child fell into the canal from the
bridge, the finding of the doll and
the ending of the footprints at the
bridge pointing directly to such
theory. But a thorough search of the
canal has failed to reveal any trace
of the body.
Canal Searched
Sheriff Gillett, assisted by De-
putty Sheriff Young, led a thorough
search of the canal. The Irrigation
District had cut off the water sup,
ply and while most of the water was
cut of the ditch, there wpre points
cnroute that held water head high
These were all explored, men lee
by the sheriff plunging into the
water and probing thoroughly fol
the body.
When this search failed to reveal
the child, others began a thorough
search of the large corn field. 1t is
thought possible that the child
might have become lost in the field
and died of exhaustion and exposure
a systematic search of the field. row
by row, failed to reveal any trace
of the child in the immediate vicin-
ity.
More than so men and women
were assisting in the search which
has continued for two nights and two
days. 1t is thought possible that the
dog may prove the final means of
locating the child. The dog return
ed to the ranch late ON the night
of the child's disappearance and
early yesterday left the ranch and
did not return until nightfall. 1t is
believed that the dog might have
returned to the spot where the child
IS located. y careful watch is being
kept dyer it for this reason.
