Herbert Hoover today sent his running
mate, Senator Curtis, on his way into
the farm belt, prepared to sack the
winning of the West.
The Republican vice presidential
nominee called at Hoover headquarters
on Massachusetts, avenue in company
with Chairman Work of the Republican
national committee. 1t was ostensibly
just farewell call, preparatory to en-
barking later today on an ambitious
campaign swing into the border States
and the agricultural Midwest
Following closely the example set by
the veteran Kansan, Hoover himself
will start Monday on speaking trip
pushing northward almost to the baili-
wick OF the Democratic nominee, Gov.
Smith. Hoover's tour will be but two
or three day affair, but that of Senator
Curtis will last two weeks and will
extend in a 5,000-mile circuit of Is
important States.
