REACT ION
b. WILLIAM &. HUTCHINsON

BY WILLIAM *. hUIOkdANGUN
Having wound up his Eastern
campaign Tor the Presidency, Her.
bert Hoover today studied national
reaction to his New York address and
planned the itinerary Of his trans-
continental trip to the coast on the
eve OF the election.
The Republican nominees next ana
semi final effort win, be speech IN
st. Louis, about November 3, which
will constitute his final appeal to
the Middle West.
In that address. the candidate win
make q particular bid for the Ger.
man vote in st. Louis in the hope OF
swinging Missouri, doubtful State
into the Republican column.
He also viii take the opportunity
to touch upon problems affecting
the Mississippi Valley, bid for sup.
port in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa.
Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Arkansas.
First Vote For Son
Hoover win make this speech
while enroute to his Stanford Uni.
versity, Calf, home to vote in the
November election. He win be ac-
companied by Mrs. Hoover and his
sons, Herbert, jr., and Allan, all OF
whom win vote in the election. In
cidenta1ly, 1t win be the first vote
for Allan, who recently came or
age.
The nominees itinerary Is still the
subject of considerable elaboration.
Some Of his advisers have urged
him to make a number Of rear plat.
form appearances in cities all over
the Middle West and in the noun.
tain area,
Hoover, an inexperienced cam
paigner, however has demurred as
hea has found no enjoyment In his
transforming political tours.
Under. present plans, the candi.
dates final campaign effort will be
a speech from the west coast, to be
widely broadcasted by radio, on the
night before election.
Unless this program is changed,
two more speeches and a number OF
rear platform appearances between
st. Louis and San Francisco during
the first week Of November will
constitute the rest of his campaign.
Changed His Course
Both Hoover and his advisers
meanwhile were awaiting national
reaction to his New York speech,
in which he dropped his program Of
explaining Republican issues to as
sail the policies Of his Democratic
opponent, Gov. Alfred e. Smith.
Hoover charged the Smith pro-
grams on farm relief. prohibition,
and water-power development would
result in Estate socialism" and lead
to the destruction Of seif-govern.
ment" in America.
The effect Of this speech, In which
Hoover assailed some beliefs Of the
Senatorial Insurgent bloc. can only
be ascertained when the insurgents
have spoken.
The Hoover leaders, however, be-
lieved the speech would not ALLEVIATE
any of the Republican insurgents,
already pledged to him-that it
would have no effect on those sill
outside the fold.
There was enough true liberalism
in his speech to satisfy any Pro-
gressive in the world" said one OF
his advisers.
Hoover was pleased greatly with
the results OF his visit to New York.
He came back to Washington an
optimistic candidate. convinced he
will carry the industrial East and
that he will win the election two
weeks away.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 24.-Gov.
AL Smith set out today on his
supreme effort of the 1928 cam
paign-the winning of the East,
with Boston as the starting point.
without the electoral votes of
board the Democratic nominee can
the populous industrial and wet
states that front the Atlantic sea-
hardly hope to win. With them
anything is possible.
It is possible for Governor Smith
to win without the West, math-
ematically it is possible for him to
win without the border states
where he has spent the last ten
days, but no stretch of political
imagination can encompass the
vision of Democratic victory with
out most of the electoral votes be-
tween Cape Cod and Cape Charles.
They are vital.
Ready For Battle
Probably no one realizes this fact
more keen1y than Governor Smith
himself. He is primed for the po-
litical effort OF his career, career.
incidentally, that stretches over a
quarter Of century of catch-as-
catch-can political fighting and con-
tains but one defeat for an elective
office.
The entire Democratic campaign
has been predicated upon Governor
Smiths ability to carry the Atlantic
seaboard states, which include his
own, New York.
Everything has been subjugated
to this end. Governor Smith has
saved his voice for it. as well az his
most telling speeches. He has been
deaf to appeals for speeches in other
parts of the country in order that
he could be in tip-top shape for his
finale joust in the East.
Sets Hopes High
He set forth for Boston today in
high hopes and with a confidence
that amazed his intimates. The
Bay State with its electoral votes
already is counted in the bag by the
Democratic managers.
Outside of his own New York,
Governor Smith probably is more.
confident Of carrying it than any
other-this despite the fact that 1t
is the home State of President
Coolidge, despite the 100000 Re-
publican majorities rolled up there
in 1920 and 1924, and despite the
fact that no Democrat save Wood
row Wilson has carried it in a half
century, and that was in the split
year of 1912.
Tonight in Boston, appropriately
enough of "the arena" Governor
Smith will strike the first blow of
the Eastern campaign.
Every indication IS that he will
answer the speech of his Republi-
can opponent, Herbert Hoover, de-
livered in New York Monday night.

RICH STRIKE REPORTED
IN CAssIAR DISTRICT

Word reached Seattle this week of
a rich quartz strike that has been
made this winter in the Cassiar. Ae-
eording to the report the lind is the
re-diseovery of the famous Joe Co
burn lead, which has been located by
Joe Williams, a well-known and re-
liable prospector of Telegraph Creek.
Mr. Williams has been looking for
this ledge for a number of years
and only last fall found float that
confirmed his belief that he was on
the trail of the pay ore. He followed
up the float and late in the fall
found the ledge in place.
According to the report the ledge
is very rich. and is well defined and
massive in appearance. It has been
traced for a distance of more than a
thousand feet and it places. where it
outerops, has a width of from four
to six feet
Samples that were brought to
Telegraph Creek are extremely rich
in free gold and aside from the free
values the ore is highly mineralized.
According to Joe Williams. the
ledge is located near a big blowout
of soft deeomposed rock, the nature
or value of which he could not at the
time determine. The find was made
on the shores of Forty Mile Lake and
near a glacier
After stalking plenty of ground
Mr.. Williams returned to Telegraph
Creek and is planning on returning
in the spring with an outfit of sup
plies. powder and steel and will
spend the coming season developing
his find and ascertaining the value
of it. There is considerable excite
ment around Telegraph Creek and
the find will doubtless stimulate
