liver one OF his main campaign speeches
in washington Is made by Robert N.
Harper in letter to Chairman Raskob
OF the Democratic national committee.
Mr.. Harper Is assistant treasurer OF the
national committee and was chairman
OF the inaugural committee when
Woodrow Wilson entered the White
House.
Mr.. Harper mentions the fact there
are some seventy thousand Government
employees in Washington the majority
of whom have votes in their home
States. Furthermore. Washington as A
news center offers better opportunity
for publicity than any other city. He
says:
Washington is probably the only city
in the country where regularly selected
correspondents of every daily newspaper
in the United States are located There
is probably no other city that has as
many temporary visitors from other
States as Washington. and it is said
that all political news with the Wash
ington headline to the home paper al
ways attracts unusual attention and
publicity.
For these reasons. and 1 would say
many more, it appears to me there are
really many advantages that can be
gained through the publicity of an adj
dress in this city from the Governor.
Washington, on the border line be-
tween the North and the South. close
to Maryland and the other border
States. where brisk fight for electoral
votes is already underway, might see
100000 persons gather to hear the
Democratic candidate, it was pointed

HOOVER AND CURTIS
National Party Holds Candi-
dates Equal Rights State
ment Satisfactory.

The National Woman's party will
throw its influence to the Republican
nominees on the national ticket in the
belief that this course will best serve
to advance the cause of an equal rights
amendment, designed to establish legal
parity between women and men.
This step was decided on late yes
terdav, following a conference of ma
tional officers. founders and life men,
bers of the party at headquarters. 81
First street northeast. A delegation OF
prominent members of the National
Woman's party had called upon Herbert
Hoover at Republican headquarters yes
terday and had secured from the Re-
publican nominee the assurance that
''if I find to my satisfaction that this
amendment is necessary to obtain
equality of opportunity ! will be with
YOU" although ar. Hoover had declined
to indorSe the amendment fiat-footedly
without thorough investigation.
This announcement was considered
so satisfactory that the party was led
to take its stand behind the Republican
colors. Senator Curtis. Republican vice
presidential nominee. has been a warm
champion of the equal rights amend
ment.
While the Republican presidential
candidate unfortunately has not as yet
gone as far AS his colleague with regard
to the equal rights amendment" said a
statement issued by the National
Woman's part. "he has agreed to sup
port the principle OF equality between
men and women. His position on this
subject is in advance of that of all the
other presidential candidates with the
exception of the prohibition nominee
who while unqualitiedly for the amend

Refuses to Discuss Ticket.
If Gov. Smith lets drop the slightest
hint regarding his preference for q
Democratic SUPERNATURAL candidate to
any of the State leaders. it is almost
certain that his name will not be made
public at this time. The governor
has said repeatedly that he will not
discuss the State ticket until the State
convention. when he plans to address 1t.
Addressing the Democratic State
committee two weeks ago at Syracuse,
he urged widespread efforts to get eli
gibles to register and declared victory
for the Democrats for State offices and
Congress was just as important as a
victory for him. He warned. however,
that the State campaign should not
become absorbed in the efforts to bring
success to him in November.

SMITH WILL LOSE
WEST, CAPPER SAYS
Prohibition Views and Tam
many Affiliations Cited as
Causes by Senator.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September Ex-senator
Arthur Capper Of Kansas told an au-
dience at the Hoover-Curtis Club today
that Gov Smiths extreme and un-
tenable position on prohibition" as well
as his Tammany Affiliations, made 1t i'm
possible for the Democratic candidate to
win the West
The West does not want wet adj.
ministration," asserted the Senator.
They feel that prohibition is eco
nomically sound and morally right No
amount of propaganda or trying to set
up different issue is going to fool them.
Gov. Smiths plan for state control Of
the liquor traffic has no support in tho
agricultural States.
Against Tammany.
The West opposes AL Smith because
Of his Tammany Affiliations. That is
not the only reason why the West will
90 against him. but 1t is the chief rea-
SON. Everything the West knows or has
ever heard Of Tammany connects it
with political trickery and corruption
Moreover our folks believe that Tam
many is associated with saloon rule
booze and all the social vices, besides
political graft.
I'm my judgment Gov. Smith was
strongest the day he was nominated. EIc
caught the public eye, he was spectacu-
lar. dynamic figure. But upon analysis
of his connections. the interest in Gov.
Smith as presidential possibility has
lageed-the Middle Vests interest in
Gov. Smith today is to insure that he
is not elected President He is fine
man and an able executive, but Gov.
Smith just doe5n't fit our ideas"
Farm Relief Outlook.
Western farmers, Senator Capper said.
ARE not going to Tammany for aid IN
solving the farm problem
The farmers themselves" he addeo
laugh at the .dea of Tammany in the
role of friend of the farmer.
My opinion is that as President Mr.
Hoover will do his level best to put ag-
riculture on an equal footing with gen.
eral business and prosperity"

statement issued by the Republican
national committee Yesterday. in which
he expressed belief that a continuance
Of Republican administration will aid
the farmers
Mr.. Jardine, who was here en- route
to Washington after a Western trip.
said: THE purchasing power of 30 i'm
portant agricultural commodities was SO
in July this year, compared with 50 in
1921, the low point following the World
War depression
There is no sound economic reason
for depressed wheat prices he added
Farmers who sell their wheat without
regard for the market may have cause
to regret it later. Our experience has
taught us that large production usually
has an unduly depressing influence on
prices early in the season. and subse-
quent upward corrective tendency can
generally be expected"
Jardine cited the need for effective
legislation to enable farmers to prevent
price depression due to seasonal sur
pluses through price stabilization" He
said such plan would receive the sup
port Of the Republican administration.
