HOOVER STUMP
TALK SURPRISE
IN LONG BEACH
Nominee Shows Oratorical
Promise as He Heads for
Iowa Birthplace
: BY JAMES L. WEST
(ASSOciated presS Writer1


Hoover Train En- Route to Grand
Cnayon, Ariz., August 1s.-(AP)-
Reluctantly leaving the state Of his
adoption, Herbert Hoover today was
heading for his birthplace at West
Branch, Iowa, where he will spend q
day and night amid his boyhood
scenes before beginning in earnest
the task the Republican party has
set for him.
His last day in California gave
him his first real taste Of political
campaigning and it appeared not
only that he liked it, but also that
he would surprise even his closest
friends as to his ability as q stump
speaker before election day.
Booked for only q single speech,
that at Los Angeles, the presiden-
tial candidate was called upon on
four other occasions and he respond
ed with well chosen phrases, which
went to make up what some Of those
accompanying him regarded as even
better efforts than some of his pre-
pared talks.
Iowans Heard Him
His fellow Iowans. now residents
Of Long Beach, disregarded
Hoover's expressed wishes and call
ed upon him for q talk, and his fel-
low Californians at Pasadena did
likewise.
To the vast crowd at the last
named city he expressed his dislike
at leaving California, but said he
had been called to q task in the per.
formance of which he knew every
Californian's heart went out to him.
"The moral and intellectual stature
Of the people Of California is such, -
he said, "that if it be lived up to by
the contenders the contest ahead
will be carried on upon the highest
plane Of American thought, and
feeling"
Thus the nominee voiced publicly
what he has said privately several
times that 80 far as he is concerned
the campaign will be free from psr-
sonalities and will be conducted up
on . level in keeping with dignity
Of the office of president.
Confers at Canyon
Swinging into Arizona early to-
day, Hoover had an engagement to
meet Republican county chairmen
at Williams and to confer with them
at Grand Canyon, where his party
will spend the afternoon and eve-
ming, leaving at midnight tonight for
Albuquerque, N. M.
Those accompanying Hoover will
have six hours for an inspection of
the great gorge through which the
Colorado river plunges, but the
nominee himself will remain at the
hotel discussing the political out
look in Arizona, as he has inspected
the canyon several times.
Since the administration Of this
state is Democratic, Arizona Off
cials did not join the candidate to
accompany him across its borders.
In New Mexico, Hoover will be join
ed by Senator Bronson Cutting and
other Republican leaders for q gen.
eral discussion Of the political out
look there.

lindbergh Still Holds
Biggest Space in News

New York. Aug. 1s.-(AP)-Al-
though more than . year has passed
since Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
gained worldwide fame by his flight
to Paris, he continues today to. be
possibly the biggest single figure
in news.
This was vividly demonstrated to
newspapers throughout the country
the last few days when successive
had been killed or had met with seri-
Gus injury. Newspaper offices from
the Pacific to the Atlantic were del
uged with telephone calls from per-
sons seeking confirmation Of the re-
ports. Colonel Lindbergh, mean
while, was in San Francisco on busi-
ness, and yesterday, when the ru-
mors were at their height. had not
even left the ground.
