HOOVER IMPRESSED
|. BY NOISY GREETING
Seems Pleased to Reach
Island Lodge After Long
Train Journey.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,

CEDAR ISLAND LODGE, BRULE
RIVER, Wis, July 16.-Somevhat
weary after his long train ride from
Washington Herbert Hoover appeared
to be glad to arrive this morning at
President Coolidge's island retreat.
where all is so tranquil and picturesque.
The nominee, according to his own
admissions, was greatly impressed by
the enthusiastic greetings accorded him
on his journey to Wisconsin, but he
confessed that it is all so new to him
that it will take some little time to get
accustomed to this part of the game
Of running for President.
Mr.. Hoover had been getting a taste
OF what to expect as a candidate from
now on until election, as his train
stopped along the way, but according to
members of his party his reception
upon his arrival at Superior today sur
passed anything of It's kind experienced
during the entire trip.
There was no mistaking the fact that
the people of this section were glad
to have look at the Republican stand
ard bearer and to take part in vel
coming him to their country. There
may have been any number Of Demo-
Gratis or others in the crowd who are
not going to vote for Mr.. Hoover In
November, but no one would have sus-
pected 1t from the enthusiastic manner
in which he was acclaimed. At Brule,
the nearest village to the Summer
White House, the highways were
thronged with cheering citizens and
tourists.
AS is generally the case on occasions
of this kind, all of the hastily arranged
plans did not carry. There was to
have been some organized cheering by
students of the Superior High School
They rehearsed for half an hour in
advance Of the arrival Of the Hoover
special. But the engineer Of the Hoover
train evidently got his signals mixed, or
something like that, because he did not
bring the long train to stop where it
was intended to halt and the little
band Of cheerers were left out Of the
picture.
Tilson Stays In Superior.
Representative of Connecticut, ma
jority leader of the House, who is to be
one OF the campaign directors in the
East, and Mrs. TilSon, and Representa-
| tive Newton Of Minnesota. who is to
direct the speakers bureau Of the
Hoover campaign, who we're aboard the
Hoover train, did not go to the Summer
White House. Besides the correspond
ents and photographers. the only other
| person OF the party to make the journey
| Hoover's secretary, but he remained
only but few moments.
Secretary and Mrs. Hoover were re-
ceived ct Cedar Island Lodge like old
friends Of the family. The day was an
ideal one, although considerably warm
| er than usual
Their reception at the lodge was In
| the open. After round of hand shak-
Ing and exchange OF greetings there was
q long period of posing before the
| cameras
Mr.. Hoover viii have an opportunity
! to play a little. This will be in the
form of fishing, for like the President,
Mr.. Hoover is very fond Of this sport
and the members of the PRESIDENT
party are anxiously awaiting the time
when these two men will fish together.
The President has been busily engaged
| fishing early and late In anticipation
Of Mr.. Hoover's visit. Whether this
was for practice or merely for the pur-
pose OF having the larder wen stocked
0s
Has Draft Of Speech.
Mr.. Hoover is reported to have his
acceptance speech already In the form
of q rough draft. and the nominee Is
expected to try his formulation OF the
issues on President Coolidge for ap-
prevail and to submit the strategic prin-
ciples OF his election campaign for ad-
vice.
Soon after the party left the station
at Superior the Hoover special train was
moved five miles further north TO Du-
luth. in which city Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover
will visit tomorrow afternoon for the
purpose Of demonstration on the part
Of citizens. and from whence their
train will resume its journey to Palo
Alto.
President Coolidge went to church at
Brule yesterday with Mrs. Coolidge and
their son John. The pulpit was occu-
pied as usual by John Taylor. blind lay
preacher. who told his congregation
how Moses undertook the leadership Of
the chosen people and brought them
out Of the land of bondage.
outside the church several hundred
tourists had gathered to see the Presi-
dent and his family. They came from
ell over the Northwest and In automo-
biles arrange their itinerary to reach
Brule on Sunday, because the little
church has now become known as the
only place where the President may
dependably be found.
It was announced officially at the
Summer White House today that Secre-
tary of State Kellogg viii not visit the
President at Brute. Word has Just been
received from Mr.. kellogg that he Is
too busy to leave washington.
Representative Ttlson said while talk
ing to s. group of newspaper men at
the station today. that he intended to
open campaign headquarters In New
York July 40. He stated that New Eng
land will be solidly for Hoover In
November.
