The Hoover move. which had been
heyalded ever since Eliza Rogers. State
chairman. appointed an executive cont

- De the bonafi6e Hoover organization
IN the State. Both Rogers and Foel-
finger issued statements that they en-
yertsineo no thought of working against
each others organizations, that the ut
most harmony prevails. but despits that
the rurnor persists that Hoover's ma
tional advisers were not pleased at the
prospect Of going through a campaign
under the banner. of Senator James E.
Watson. one Of the Secretary's Bit
tsrest pre-ccnvertion critics.
Goodrich Appointed.
Rogers. however. svinced q tendency

hsen Hoover primary boosters. II IS
TIE frst time in years that Goodrich,
rersona non Erasa 10 many Republicans,
has been recognized b. an Official COM
n1ittee appointment, and because of his

fans are inclined TO stick thar noses
In tas air HIS appointment recalls
poignsntly the fart that the Watson
pecpls used Coodrich's presence in the
Hoover primary machine as campaign
argument against the Secretary.
Senator Watson. however. is per-
sonaIiy giving yeoman service to the
Hoover cause and has responded 10
calls from national headquarters to so

To Battle fer Smith.
IN the other hand. however W. n.

department returned from confer

carry On their battle for the Demo-
cratic agricultural plank. Settle let II
be known that he is perfectly satisfied
with Smiths farm views and reiterated
his opposition 10 Hoover's agricultural
outlook
The organization situation was fur
tner complicated when Leslie set Bert
Fuller. one Of his primary campaign
managers. into State headquarters,
ostensibly as his personal representative
but actually as head Of what is said 10
ne a separate organization. This action
thought they were not receiving full ar
