SMITH AND HOOVER AS PARTY
LEADERS

AS the Smith and Hoover
camps begin planning the stra
tegy of the campaign months it
is apparent that the Democratic
leader has the advantage over
his opponent.
Lay aside platforms and issues
for the moment, and consider
only the men: Governor Smith
has had years of experience both
as a campaigner and as an exc
cutive in bis state; be has forced
measures through Republican
New York legislatures by sheer
force of personality, be has sur
rounded himself with the best
brains of his state regardless of
their party or religious affilia
tions; be is a good talker, a good
mixer in addition to having been
an excellent governor. Secre
tary Hoover, on the other hand /,
has been an excellent executive
in his chosen field, but be has
had no experience as q cam
paigner; in fact. be is rather a
drab figure inclined to reticence,
stunning to place himself in a
position that might draw criti.
cism which he thoroughly
breads; be can write very good
speeches, but be cannot deliver
them with force or persuasion;
as an engineer who has been
trained to know it ALL" be has
not surrounded himself With ex
perienced men nor has be been
inclined to take the advice OF
others; this may be changed
considerably in the next few
months by those who seek to
place him in the presidential

in the east. This will be dis.

been true most of the time-but
there are west of the Hudson

seeks to devote more of his at

Hoover; the Democratic platform

the cold reception the farmers
received at Kansas City, a con.

Dan Moody to make them dry as

H0RNSbY PLOT IS
 BRANDED AS BUNK
Story Says Baseball Star Is to
 Be Crippled or Killed

St. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 13 UP)-A reported plot to kill or cripple Rogers Hornsby, baseball star, for alleged "welching" of betting debts was characterized by Hornsby today as "hokum and propaganda"
 The man whose summary trade from the New York Giants to the Boston Braves rocked sporting cir cles. created the impression he be- lieved the report to be an attempt to whip up mid-winter interest in a summer sport.
 Tt is nothing but hokum," he told the United Press.
 The assassination plot, however. was published today by the St. Louis Globe Democrat in the form of a dis patch from New York quoting an article attributed to w. s. Frans- worth in the Evening Journal. A price of $10.000 to $25,000 was said to have been offered to gangsters to get the star. When Hornsby read the article, which intimated that "one of the biggest bookmakers in the country" sought his death in revenge for Hornsby's alleged ''welching." the star promptly communicated with his attorney. William Fahey, and i ordered Fahey to prepare a formal statement ito tell the whole truth IT box car letters.''
 "So far as 'welehing' Is con- cerned" Hornsby said. If the truth were known, Frank l.. Moore, who recently brought suit against me for sao,ooo, owes me plenty of money himself, carried him long enough" i Hornsby successfully defended the Moore suit. Hornsbv denied he owed Moore "a nickel"
 He was interested mildly in the suggestion accompanying the "as- sassination plot" that his trade to Boston may have been effected by owners of the Giants in order to unload Hornsby" before he was killed or crippled"
 Hornsby was asked if he saw any connection between the reported as. sassination plot and the apparently brisk baseball year which followed the unsubstantiated charges of bet ting preferred against Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker a year ago.
 Propaganda" he replied.

New York, Jan. 13 R1No action will be taken by President John A. Heydler of the National League in regard to the trade of Rogers Horns by to the Boston Braves by the New York Giants. Furthermore, Presi- dent Hydler declared there was no foundation for reports that the Braves were the Junior varsity" of the Giants
 There is nothing to investigate" Mr. Heydler said. Tt is not within province to investigate trades and l do not give credence to assertions that the Boston club is controlled Dy the Giants. Commissioner Lam dis lookel into that charge years ago and found it to be false'' Secretary Tierney of the Giants said either President Heydler or Commissioner Landis would be well come to conduct an inquiry as to declarations that the Giants own the Boston team.
 In Havana, Manager John Nc Graw of the Giants classed the syn dicate" talk as ridiculous.
