Lets Loose First Bolt Aimed
at Democratic Opposition
to Party

Washington, Sept. s.-(AP)-Her-
bert Hoover has . way Of making
sudden decisions and unlocked for
statements that takes those around
him BY complete surprise.
This tendency was aptly illus
trated in his semi.weekly conference
with uewspaper correspondents late
yestefd4y when the Republicans
presidential nominee suddenly let
loose his first bolt aimed 1t the
Democratic opposition.
Pushing his way through two score
and more news writer's gathered in
the press room 1t his general head
quarters, he seated himself behind
. large flat-topped desk, as is his
custom, and with . smile inquired
on what subjects the correspondents
wished to interrogate him.
His inquiry was greeted by ST.
lence, which he himself broke with
the declaration that the Democratic
national platform attempted to con-
vey the impression that no accom-
plishment to the cause Of world
peace had been made by the Republi-
can administration.
Cites Three Pacts
On the contrary, the candidate
said, the Republican administration
contributed the greatest steps in that
direction since the World war, and
he cited the treaty for the renunci-
alton Of war ~ q national policy,
the limitations Of naval ornaments,
and the Dawes reparations settle
ment.

Attacks Smith Opponents Who
Are Making Religion Cam.
paign Issue

Albany, N. Y, Sept. s.-F-An-
other friend and political ally of Gov
ernor Smith-Mayor Walker Of New
York-is concerned over attempts Of
some opponents Of the Democratic
presidential nominee to make his re.
ligion . serious campaign issue, and
has expressed his views regarding
them in no uncertain terms.
Governor Smith himself is keeping
mum on the subject as well as on all
others with which he intends to deal
in his six speech drive in the mid
west, far west and northern border
states the latter half of the month
Some Of his. political lieutenant,
and even his running mate, Senator
Robinson Of Arkansas, however
have seen fit to take the so-called
whiSpering campaign out into the
open in IN effort to halt what they
term unfair and baseless methods
They have been vigorous in their
denunciation Of such attacks on the
Democratic standard bearer and
Mayor Walker, who expects to take
the stump soon himself on behalf Of
the governor, was just as outspoken,
II not more so, in a discussion Of the
subject late yesterday with newspa-
permen.
Coming out Of long conference
with Governor Smith, at which the
general political situation was taken
up, the New York city executive
who, like Smith, is q Roman Catho-
lie, charged that "fanatical bigots'
were succeeding in getting through
the mails "slanderous and disgust
ing" printed matter reflecting on the
religious affiliation Of the nominee
Declaring he could not understand
how the mailing privileges could be
open to such material, he added.

NAVAL LEASE
BASIS OF SUIT
AGAINST DOHENY
By United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Aug 2S.-The
notorious Doheny-Fall Elk Hills
naval oil lease was made the basis
of Il $10,417,4S813 suit on file here
today against Z. L. Doheny, multi
millionaire oil magnate, and the
Fan American Petroleum Company.
The action, instituted by Frank
II. Kunkel, Of Cincinnati, represent
ing "all stockholders, claimed the
conduct "of the defendant, Doheny,
in the Elk Hills lease constituted
a fraud not only against the United
States government but also against
Pan American and all its stock
holders.
The suit demanded specifically
that Doheny reimbursed the Pan
American company for all moneys
lost through the fraudulent nego-
tiation of the naval oil lease.
The Pan American company was
made co-defendant $50 that it
may be bound by any judgement of
the court and receive the benefits
thereof.
In effect the complaint claimed
that the company lost almost $ll,-
000,000 through the Doheny-Fall
transaction and asked that Doheny
be forced to make an accounting of
all moneys used in that deal.
Improvements ON the oil leases,
construction of naval oil base at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and other
expenditures by the company were
lost when Elk Hills deal was can
cellcd and the property returned to
the government Kunkel charged.
Doheny declined to comment on
the suit today, saying he would re-
serve statements, if any, until he
had studied the complaint.

Farm Policy Since Post
War Days
by United rress Leased Wire

SYRACUSE, y. y, Aug. IS
Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas,
Republican vice.presidcntial nomi-
nee, carried his campaign to Smith
territory today with a speech on
farm relief at the New York state
fair as II guest of the American
Farm Bureau.
He traced the Republican party 5
record on farm legislation in an eff
fort TO demonstrate its friendship
for agriculture and its ability to
solve farm problems.
The emergency tariff act, the in
termediate farm credit act. import
ant amendments to the warehouse
act, and other measures have been
passed by Republican congresses for
the benefit Of the farmer, Curtis
said.
Soon after the war. Congress
fully realized that no class of our
population had suffered more by
HE read iustment of prices from the
high points attained during the war
than the farmers, he said.
1.-The Republican majority in the
house and senate realized this fact
before the expiration of President
Wilson 5 term of office and they
passed an emergency tariff act but
this WAS vetoed by President Wilson
ON March }, l92L.
''The farmers believed that It
would be of great help to them If
the war finance corporation could
be authorized TO extend credits to
them, and the Republican congress
passed a Joint resolution extending
the corporation to aid agriculture,
but President Wilson vetoed 1t on
Jan. 3, 1921.
Harding Urged Action
"This measure was passed over
his veto.
"Whcn President Harding came
into office on March i, 1921, he and
the members of the cabinet and
Republican members of Congress
realized that early action on legis-
latiun to relieve the farmers should
be had, so the emergency tariff was
passed and signed.
Soon after President Harding
was inauguratcd law was enacted
authorizing the war finance corpor-
alton to extend further credits to
aid in carrying and disposing of ag-
riculturaI products and to provide
credit for agricultural purposes.
"'There was much complaint on
the part of the livestock producers
of the country against the packers
and after careful consideration con
gress enacted law to regulate IN
terstate and foreign commerce IN
livestock and dairy products, poul-
try and eggs.
"a measure authorizing the or
ganization of cooperative assocla,
lions of producers of agricultural
products was passed.
"The intermediate farm credit
act of March, 1923, gave to the
farmer longer credit, and provided
for loans on stock, crops and to
cooperative associations.
"Important amendments were
made Ito the federal warehouse
act.

NEW YORK, Aug. Ex-Governor
Alfred +. Smith returned here to-
day through lanes of old fashioned
"'red fire. in New Jersey s in
dustrial cities, as Democrats of that
state waved him farewell in more
colorful demonstration than any ae-
corded him in his four day visit.
Today the candidate turned his
attention to the campaign in this
state and other parts of the coun-
try. He will remain here tonight,
leaving early tomorrow for SYRIA
cuse, where he will attend the an
nual "farm dinner and will be
the principal figure in "Governor s
Day. at the state fair Thursday.
The governor was pleased with
his New Jersey welcome and state
political leaders told him the greet
ing proved he would carry the
state.
The farewell demonstration for
the candidate, which was inspired
by Mayor Frank Hague, of Jersey
City, Democratic leader in northern
New Jersey, began at Perth Amboy
about 10 p. M, last night. The gov
ernor s ear was halted there by eager
crowds which surged about waving
torches and shouting Hello, Al. -
1t was difficult to start the car
again. Children clambered over the
back. Others blocked it in front.
Finally the road was cleared and
the automobile moved forward.
Crowds remained up until nearly
midnight after waiting for three
hours to see the governor.
The climax came in Newark, as
il did on the governor $ entry into
New Jersey last Friday. Thousands
lined the streets. The candidate s
car met bowling, exuberant mob
/ before the courthouse.
He got out, took his place on the
courthouse steps and made brief
speech, the first of his campaign.
elf this is any indication of the
way the campaign is going, then
everything is fine for the whole
state, he said.

STATE DISPLAYS
LITTLE INTEREST
IN VOTING TODAY
by United Press Leased Wire

san FRANCISCO, Aug. 2S.--
With incumbents largely unopposed
little political Significance was at
tached to the California state pri-
mary elections today.
Senator Hiram Johnson, champ
on of Boulder Dam, had little oppo-
sition for the Republican endorse
ment for return to the upper house
of congress.
Eleven United States representa-
tives seemed assured of the Repub-
lican nomination and also sought
the Democratic endorsement. Ar
thur Free, of San Jose met the
strongest opposition, from early in
dications, as labor forces put up a
strong fight for Mrs. Cecilia Cass-
erly.
With more than 100000 persons
eligible to vote, early reports indi-
Gated the total number of ballots
would be one of the smallest in re-
cent years.
This was in spite of urgent ap-
peas by F.. Forrest Mitchell, exeeu-
tive secretary for the Republican
state central committee. With 9TH
er Republican leaders he sought a
large complimentary turnout for
Senator johnson and the q. .. +.
representatives in the lower house.
johnson was opposed by Charles
Randall, Los Angeles prohibition
ist who also asked approval of the
Republican party. While certain
of being named for his own group
candidate he had no chance of beat
ing johnson. In the November elec'
tion johnson will be opposed by
Minor Moore, Democrat, a Los An
gcles lawyer.
Six incumbent members of the
lower house of congress had no OPP
position at all
