The long whispering attack on
the American citizenship Of Her.
bert Hoover, started during the
Republican pre.convention campaign
and continued by Democratic sources
since his nomination, was silenced
effectively today following a formal
announcement by the State De.
partment that there never has
been the slightest question of Mr..
Hoover's American citizenship"
The fact that Hoover spent many
years abroad in the employment of
British engineering firms was the
basis of campaign whispers that
Hoover had lost his American cit.
izenship. Only once previously dur
ing the campaign had this story
been brought into the light of pc.
liticaI debate and that occurred
during Hoover's visit to Elizabeth.
ton. Tenn.
On that occasion, former Gov.
ALI Taylor, of Tennessee, declared
Hoover had been offered British
title to become a British citizen
and that his reply was "he pre-
ferred to be beheaded and his body
cremated, rather than to lose his
american cltlZ6nAnip.
Registered at Consulate
The State Department, in silencing
this campaign libel, declared it twice
had investigated Hoover's citizen
ship, once in 1920 and more re.
Gently in response to a newspaper
inquiry, The department reportedi
that Hoover had registered in 1903
at the American Consulate in Lon
don as an American citizens in
response to an order by the late
President Roosevelt that all Amer
lean citizens living abroad should
be registered by the consular
offices. 1t further stated Hoover
had given the United States as his
permanent residence in registering.
The department also announced
Hoover had applied for American
passports to Russia as early as
1909 at time when only Russia
and Turkey required passports. In
1911 and again in 1913 Hoover OBJ
tanned similar passports.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1s.-Gov. Al
Smith came back to big city side
walks today after week spent
in rapid travelling through the cot
ton, corn, and tobacco belt. He is
on the trail Of the 20 electoral
votes Of illinois, and viii stay on
it three days here in Chicago.
Moreover, he IS confident he has q,
good chance to win them. despite
the traditional Republicanisn1 OF
the State.
Governor Smith was told by state
leaders that Democratic chances in
Illinois are rosy. State Chairman
Tom Donovan told him that for the
first time in many years the Re.
publican farmers downstate, who
always send q Republican presi-
Dental candidate to the Chicago
city limits with an overwhelming
ma jority, are off the q. o. r.
reservation this year, and that this
fact, coupled with Chicago's knowa
wetness, can be relied upon to
carry the State for him,
Predict $4,000 Majority
Both Donovan and George n.
Peek, Illinois farm leader, who was
active in the promotion of the
LoWden candidacy at the Kansas
City convention, declared that Smith
will come up to the Cook county
line In November on even terms
with Herbert Hoover. and that
Cook county will give him ma
1ority OF 10000 votes.
The Republicans. Of course, pub.
licly poohpo0h these Democratic
claims. But the Democratic leaders
stoutly insist upon the correctness
of their reports, and asserted that
November would prove It. 1T any
rate they are extremely confident
and sanguine. and the Republicans
are privately q little worried. Some
of the q. o. p. leaders are insisting
that Herbert Hoover make a speech
here en- route to California about
November !.
Gets Tremendous Ovation
Governor Smith received a tire.
mendous ovation upon his arrival
here late last night. Ten thousand
people massed about Union Station
10 welcome him. and the police had
literally to fight their way out of
the station with the Governor In
their midst. without any attempt
at parading, the Democratic NOM
inee was wl1isked to the Congress
Hotel through streets lined with
people and red street flares.
Several thousand people gathered
outside the hotel in Michigan Boule-
ward and gave vent to their enthu-
siasm by making a public bonfire
in the street OF copies OF a local
Republican morning paper, which
printed a cartoon quoting a Repub-
lican elephant as saying it was a
good thing for the G. o. p. that
all the people who came out to see
Smith wouldn't vote for him. AS
the flames cracked merrily, they
danced about. And as they danced
they yelled for AL"
The yelIs finally became so in.
sistent that the Governor took a
bow on the hotel balcony far above
their heads. and when he appeared
the noise was terrific.

BANKERS HEAR
ANCIENT WAR
Building, Loan Question Is
Before State Group.

Ancient animosity Of the bankers
for the building and loan associ-
atoms, keen competitors for savings
accounts, crept into the open dis
cussicns at annual mid-winter
meeting of the Indiana Bankers
Association at the Claypool today.
The matter was brought to the
floor by E. H. Miller of South Bend
He told of organizing South Bend
banks SO that they would not per-
NIT their valuable vaults to be used
in caring for cash taken in by
building and loan organizations.
why should we turn our expen-
sive furnishings and equipment over
to the building and loan people so
that they can increase their profits
by reduction Of overhead" Miller
said. "Let them buy their own
safes and vaults, just as we have
to do"
1t was urged that shares be taxed
as are bank stocks.
President G. Oliver Holmes opened
the meeting by urging abolition Of
free checking service in all banks
of the State. Prof. G.. I. Christie,
Purdue University, warned of the
corn-borer menace and asked BANK
ers to cooperate with farmers in
curbing the pest.
Other speakers this afternoon were
j. H. Reinking, South Bend; j. G..
Wallick. Elkhart, and r. G. Hous-
ton, Lafayette. Haynes McFadden,
secretary of the Georgia Bankers
Association, will be principal speak,
err at the annual steak dinner to-
night. More than 500 bankers and
their wives are expected.

CONSIDER THE NEWSPAPER.

Where do you obtain your knowledge of current events, science, politics and the great CT part of your education?
 From the newspapers. When merchants need busi- ness, through what medium do they obtain it?
 The newspapers.
 When the community and the churches, schools, civic and welfare organizations of the community need community action and cooperation, to what do they appeal?
 The newspaper.
 These are some of the reas- ons why the home town news paper is YOUR newspaper and why communities are only as strong and progressive as their newspapers. If there is one quick cure for community son. nolence it is wide-awake newspaper.
 The first duty of newspaper IS to transmit to its readers the thoughts and activities of hu- manity at home and abroad. but the value of that other de- partment of the daily news paper-advertising--should be overlooked by none. The pub lie anticipates it's shopping by scanning the advertisements in the newspapers and the mer- chants anticipate their business by newspaper advertising. Ad- vertising is a mutual proposit-
  ion between all concerned.
 Before the rise of present in- tensive newspaper advertising the public was powerless to plan it's buying. Money, time and unsatisfaction was the price paid. At the same time the merchants had to be con- tent to wait for business and the most of it came Saturday afternoon and evening, seldom on Monday and never in the morning. Newspapers and the universal employment and ap- preciation of newspaper adver- Using permits the public to plan it's shopping and has made business for every week. day.
