Plea for Continued Good

and Home State.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

SUPERIOR, WIS, July 17.-Her-
bert Hoover has informed President
Coolidge he intends to stress the
issues, of continued prosperity and
integrity in governmental manage
ment in his campaign for the White
House.
The Republican candidate indi-
Gated he would name these two as
the dominant issues in the speech of
acceptance of the nomination at
Palo Alto, Cal, Aug. II, the United
Press was reliably informed today.
These are practically the same
issues upon which Mr.. Coolidge sue
cessfully sought election in 1924.
They were first suggested publicly
at Chicago Sunday by Vice Presi-
dent Charles G. Dawes, who told
Hoover he believed these issues were
foremost. Mr.. Coolidge is under
stood to have agreed the issues were
well selected.
Stump on Prosperity Issue
The issue of prosperity will be
widely used by Hoover himself in
his speeches during the campaign,
while that of competent government
tai management will be stressed by
the other campaigners.
That information coming private
" and unofficiaIly, but authorita-
lively from the conferences which
Hoover and Mr.. Coolidge have been
holding at the Presidents summer
lodge, was the first news emanating
from the candidate himself as to
the issues he will name in his &C
ceptance speech.
Hoover steadfastly has declined to
talk about politics, reiterating that
he would say whatever he had to
say in his speech.
Hoover also discussed with the
President the advisability of an
nouncing Immediately acceptance
of his resignation as Secretary of
Commerce.. Arrangements have
been made for the President to
make the announcement today. At
the same time the President may
announce Hoover's successor.
Consider Three for Post
Those mentioned for the post are
Walter Brown of Toledo, Hooyer's
present assistant; DR.. julius Klein,
head of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, and William
M. Butler, former chairman of the
Republican national committee, and
close friend of the President.
Mr.. Coolidge informed Hoover he
would do everything he possibly
could to help the ticket in Novem-
Der. The President indicated he
would make two or three speeches,
one before he left here, all urging
the electorate to indorse the Repub
lican party.
The President is expected to make
a speech in Massachusetts, to his
home State voters in the fall.
Parade to Duluth
Hoover will leave Duluth, Mimi,
across the lake from here, at 6 p. M,
after two-day visit with the retir-
ing chief executive.
An automobile parade from SUI
perior six miles, to Doluth has been
arranged There Hoover will again
board the train to resume his jour-
ney to the Pacific Coast. He will
arrive in San Francisco Friday.
The nominee enjoyed his stay
here with the President. They went
fishing in the Brule and the lake for
more than three hours late Monday.
The usual avenues of information
as to the catch were closed to news
paper men in touch with the White
House, but announcement was made
by secretary to the President that
sixteen trout were caught and that
each caught eight.
Experienced fishermen here said
such an equal division of patronage
among fishes would occur but one
time out of hundred.
Trout Catch Equal
Sanders at first said there we're
sixteen or seventeen caught and
equally divided, but inasmuch as no
half fish have been seen in either
the Brule or the lake for years, it
finally was agreed the catch was
eight each.
Hoover is much more expert
enced fisherman than the President
and is honorary president of the
Isaac Walton League.
It was announced Mr.. Coolidge
had accepted an invitation to speak
July 90 at Cannon Falls, Mimi, at
the unwilling Of a Civil War monu-
ment.
