RAPs MADDOCK'S SHIFT

Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 5.-(AP)
The views Of George F. Shafer on
the political situation in North Da-
kota were made clear by the Repub-
lican gubernatorial nominee in an
address to Independent party work
ers from the northwestern part Of
the state here today.
As q lifelong Republican. Shafer
said, he will support the Republican
presidential nominee. He made It
clear, however, that he expects to
take no part in the national CAM
paign and that he regards the state
political issues ~ Of more impor-
tance to the people Of North Dakota
in this election than the issues in
volved in the national campaign.
Shafer's statement, which was q
part Of his speech, follows: "We
are confronted with . peculiar and
confusing political condition in
North Dakota this fall. Campaigns
on both national and state issues are
in progress. Generally speaking, the
national issues are being fought out
upon the regular party lines, but in
state matters the issues cross party
lines. Like the currents Of two
converging streams, the forces Of
the national and state campaigns
meet and mingle, resulting in 4
whirlpool Of political confusion in
the minds Of those who have not
closely followed recent political
events.
"The national campaign, as usual,
is interesting and important. While
not wishing to underestimate the
importance Of national questions,
nevertheless, in my judgment. sthe
state issues at stake, while not 80
spectacular, exceed the national is

HOOVER READY
FOR SPEECH IN
ELIZABETH'T0N
Leaves Late Today for Noun
tains of Eastern Tennessee
With Family

Washington, Oct. 5.-(P)-Herbert
Hoover made ready today for the
second Of his flying campaign trips,
this one to Elizabethton, Tenn,
where tomorrow he will present his
cause to the voters Of the Demo-
cratic south, although he will speak
in Republican stronghold.
Accompanied by Mrs. Hoover and
their son, Herbert Jr.. and num-
ber of newspaper correspondents,
the Republican presidential candidate
will leave Washington late tonight
for the mountains of eastern Ten
nessee. Before his return Sunday
he will have made at least three
speeches in as many towns, and re-
viewed an historical and industrial
pageant at Elizabethton.
At Roanoke, Va, the nominee will
be joined by number Of Republi-
can leaders of the Old Dominion. and
his first talk will be in that state,
at Bristol, where he will be pre-
sented to q rear-platform audience
by C. Bascom Slemp, national COM
mitteeman and for many years the
only Republican member of the
house Of representatives from Vir-
ginia.
The address at Elizabethton is re-
garded by some of Hoover's advisers
as one Of the most important of the
entire campaign, and, although it
will be broadcast only over the
south, it is intended for nationwide
consumption. It is the second he
has prepared since his return from
the notification ceremonies in Cali
fornia, and the fourth one of the
campaign.

DATE CHANGED
Flight to United States Will
Probably Be Made Over
Southern Route

Friedrichshafen, Germany. Oct. 5.
R-The flight Of the dirigible Graf
Zeppelin to the United States has
now been set for any time after
October 8, instead of on Sunday, as
had been originally planned.
ut depends entirely on wind and
weather what route we take" said
DR.. Hugo Eckener today. Naturally
! would like best to choose the north
ern route, which is the shortest one.
In that case we would fly by way of
Holland, middle England, northern
Ireland, and then across the Atlantic
to Newfoundland, thence by way Of
Boston to New York. Unfortunately,
there is usually bad weather along
this route, 50 that we may have to
pick different course, which would
be most likely toward the south. -
DR.. Eckener urged that the public
should not worry If nothing should
be heard from the Graf Zeppelin
for many hours. He expects to send
out his location to Friedrichshafen
from time to time, but once the Gulf
Stream has been reached wirelessing
probably will be difficult.
