Plans to Conserve Voice.

Albany, N Y, July B Rt-Gov- ernor Smith is being urged by some of his political advisers to pack the punch Of his presidential campaign into the eight weeks preceding the election. In this way. they figure. just before the voting early in November.
 The democratic nominee himself has rAlched no decision as to when he should take to the road. where he should go. or how many speeches he should deliver. He is revolving in his mind the varied bits of advice that come from lieutenants, in cluding those who think he should take to the stump by Labor Day at the latest and it probably will be a month or more before his speech making plans are discussed.
 One Speech a Day
 The governor has told friends, however, that he doesn't intend to make more than one speech a day. and he is considering the advisi- bilty of not even doing that. A limited number of addresses in strategic centers all to be broadcast by radio, Is a program to which he is giving serious thought
 Although there is a plan on foot to have him speak at a monster outdoor rally in Chicago during the campaign. and there undoubtedly will be other occa sions for open air appearances, Smith will insist, wherever possible, on speaking out doors, chiefly to conserve his voice. He never has done much campaign ing from the rear of his train, as he believes this method ineffective, considering the physical exertion, al though he intends while travelling during the coming campaign to appear at all station stops for = formal greetings with the public.
 Until after his notification the week of August 1e, the democratic presidential nominee will do no cam-

Conqressmen Debate on Dam

International Falls-At the session
Of the congressional committee held
at Kettle Falls, several congressman,
particularly Victor L. Berger of Mil
waukee, stressed the point that public
benefits must be shown before the
committee will approve plans for con-
structing dams that would alter the
levels of the northern lakes, islands
and shore lines. E. w. Backus of the
Backus-Brooks Co., sponsor of the plan
to build dams, championed the pro-
ject as calculated to promote the pub
lie interest, by developing business;
paper, lumber and other industries,
providing more employment for labor.
Members Of the congressional commit
tee, while refusing to commit them
selves, did not seem particularly
friendly toward the dam project. Most
Of them feared that raising of the lakes
would damage the beautiful islands of
the border water permanently.
