HOOVER HAPPY
WITH OUTLOOK
OVER COUNTRY
Discussion Of Issues Without
Personal References Is His
Strategy
SMITH NOT MENTIONED
Four More Speeches, Two In
East, One in West, One at
at Home, Planned

Washington, Oct. 11.-(AP)-
While Herbert Hoover engages in no
political prophesies, he has informed
his friends that he is satisfied not
only with the general outlook over
the country, but also with the man.
ner in which the major strategy Of
his own campaign is working out.
This strategy has been to confine
his addresses to . discussion Of the
issues and his own philosophy Of
government and to keep clear Of per-
sonalities and controversies which
might obscure what he regards %
the fundamental principles in which
the public is primarily interested.
That plan was followed in his pre-
convention campaign, and he has
adhered to it rigidly since his NOM
ination, although at times there has
been no small amount Of pressure
put upon him to depart from it in
specific instances.
Not once since the campaign
opened has Hoover mentioned in IN
address or public statement the
name Of hi; Democratic opponent
and only upon . very few occasions
has he referred to the Democratic
party or the opposition. This in it.
self is somewhat unusual in political
campaigns.
While Hoover himself has confined
his efforts to outlining his position
and that Of his party, Republican
leaders have been active in replying
to the assaults which have been
made on the party record. Cabinet
officers, senator's and others are
stumping the country in person or
by radio replying to Governor Al
fred e. Smith, the Democratic candi-
date, and other chieftains Of the op-
position party. y

plans will not Be changed. His next
two platform efforts will be on east-
ern ground where the fight between
the two parties wages the hottest;
his third will be in the middle west,
where each side has concentrated in
its effort to win votes, while the last
win be from the quiet Of his study
in his California home. s

R)-The transatlantic plane Colum-
bia crashed on the Westbury Golf
course today, . few minutes after
taking the air on its projected flight
to Rome.
Both Roger Q. Williams, the pilot,
and Peitro Bonelli, the navigator,
escaped without any injury. One
wheel Of the plane and at least one
wing strut were broken and the
ship suffered general strain.
1t tipped up on one wing point
but did not turn over.
The plane plunged and rolled on
the soft turf and the left wheel
snapped off.
The Columbia ground looped on
the broken wheel and tipped crafty
but came to Z stop without over
turning.
Williams and Bonelli climbed out
Of the cockpit unharmed but sadly
disappointed. A cursory inspection
Of the plane left little hope Of an
other take-off today.
The Columbia took off at 11:55 q.
m, with great difficulty because of
the excessive weight of its fuel load.
It did get in the air, however, but
was unable to gain altitude.
It struggled low over the gully
between Roosevelt and Curtis fields
where Rene Fonck's plane crashed
and burned two years ago. and then
began to settle steadily to earth.
Fearing a possible upset with re-
sulting fire Bonnelli kicked the
dump valve to tighten the ship but
it had just been repaired for a leak
and would not work.

they could establish contact with

that they could pass her over the

GAINESVILLE, Wis.,, Oct. 11.-(AP)-
On the last day of a months cam
paign in the west, Senator Charles
Curtis, the Republican vice presi-
Dental nominee, today crossed into
Wisconsin for q second appearance.
He speaks tonight at GAINESVILLE.
He left St. Paul early today. Be-
fore an audience which interrupted
him frequently with applause he
asked there last night that Governor
Smith state his views on the tariff
question. He reiterated that the
language Of the governors speech of
acceptance endorsed the Under
wood Tariff bill Of 1913"
The Republican nominee is elated
over the receptions accorded him on
his trip through the west and he
predicted an Overwhelming victory
FOR his party next month at the
polls. While he speaks in Wiscon-
sin tonight, Senator La Toilette, Of
this state, who has received the
nominees endorsement, will be cam
paigning in Minnesota for Senator
Shipstead, Farmer-Labor, who is op-
posing the regular Republican,
Arthur E. Nelson. He speaks in
Bismarck, N. D., Thursday night for
Senator Lynn J. Frazier and in Mon
tana for Senator Wheeler. Curtis
has endorsed Mr.. Nelson in Mime
sofa, ever since Senator Curtis en-
dorsed him as the Republican
nominee" Senator La Toilette has
kept his silence on the National
ticket.
After his speech 1t Janesville to-
night, Curtis goes to Washington
and from there he sets out on Mon
day on . tour Of the eastern states,
beginning 1t Raleigh, North Caro-
lima, in the "solid south" zone.
Apparently none the worse for his
busy week in the northwest, the SEN
ator was up early today and on hand
1t oil railroad stops in Minnesota
and Wisconsin to greet crowds which
met his train. He is making no back
platform speeches because Of his
bad throat but he was always ready
to shake hande.

Malicious Libel, Slander
Campaign
CALLED DDELIBERATE LIES

Washington, Oct. 11.-(AP)-A
tharge that Herbert Hoover "is
credited" with owning oil and
mining properties in Colombia and
Mexico has been vigorously made,
accompanied by sweeping denial.
The allegation was sponsored BY
Henry Clay Hansbrough, once q
Republican senator from North
Dakota, now q supporter Of Cover
nor Alfred e. Smith. With it he
coupled q demand that Hoover with
draw from the presidential cam
paign and permit the selection Of .
Republican candidate "who cannot
be influenced in handling our for
eign relations"
The denial came from Henry ].
Allen, director Of publicity for the
Republican national committee. Late
yesterday after being shown an ad-
vance copy Of alspeech prepared by
Hansbrough for deliverey last night
at Minneapolis, Allen sent q tele-
gram to the former senator assert
ing that there was no foundation
for such statements and declaring
that they could "only be uttered for
the purpose Of gaining votes by de-
)iberate lies"
Cries Liar Anyway
Undeterred, Hansbrough said he
could not be brushed aside by the
cry of "liar" and went forward with
his address ct Minneapolis.
Herbert Hoover, he said, "is
credited with being the owner Of
/, 1877 900 acres Of oil producing land
in the Republic Of Colombia" and
of "even larger concessions" in
Mexico.
"In the event that It becomes
necessary for our marines to 60 in
TO those countries to protect Amer
lean interests" he continued. ''they
will, in fact, be giving their lives to
protect the private property of the
president Of the United States Or Of
those to whom he transferred it in
order to run for the presidency.
"Our delicate foreign relations
will not permit Of presidential inn
perialism. If we select as our pres

large private foreign interests, most
certainly it can be said that these
United States are governed not for
the benefit Of the people as a whole,
but for the benefit Of the president

Has Positive Evidence
Hansbrough declared further that
he had positive evidence" Of the
truth Of his charges and that
Hoover, "the Mellon brothers, the
Standard Oil Of Indiana, and the
notorious Albert B. Fall have joined
and severally invaded the Republic
OF Colombia; that they have large
concessions Of rich oil and gold mine
lands along the Magdalena river
there, or did have them, which in
the light Of the issues Of this cam
paign amounts to the same thing" !"

of denial, "has never owned an acre

jestically over southern France on
her voyage from Friedrichshafen to
the United States, the Graf Zeppe-
lin, first German dirigible to cross
the French frontier since the armis-
tice 10 years ago, was heading for
the Atlantic coast this afternoon.
At 25 minutes past noon, the giant
airplane which is carrying 20 pas
sengers, including three Americans,
was over Bron Aviation field near
Lyons, having covered a distance Of
approximately 265 miles from
Friedrichshafen at an average
speed of IS miles an hour.
Weather conditions in southern
France were unfavorable with rain
and contrary winds reported all
along the line from Lyons to Bor-
deaux.
Out at sea, however, in the direc-
tion of the Azores better conditions
prevail and it was believed that DR..
Hugo Eckener, the dirigible's COM
mander, would head southwark from
Marseilles along the coast of Africa
and would then point the nose Of his
ship for the Azores. On the basis
of the speed which the dirigible was
maintaining it was expected that
she would reach Marseilles about
p. M, (about II noon eastern stand
