 ing Organization

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Cross currents, advice and opinions are bearing down upon Herbert c. Hoover as he busies himself here determining his campaign poli- c1es anu deciding matters of strategy and organization.
 These come largely from the East and South, but some from the West, as the Republican Presidential candidate confers with his chief advisers from var ious sections and gets grip firmly upon the controls of the party machinery.
 There has been increasing pres sure from New York and the New England States for greater activi- ties. Those sections have set up an Eastern organization which ias been precisely described and apparently there are several groups acting more or less inde- pendently
 There is an increasing demand from the South for more effective organization work in those States where leaders claim Hoover sen timent is being manifested.

BERLIN. Aug 29.-The "Em- press Hermine," wife Of ex-Kaiser Wilhelm. is reported to be pre- pairing to open an imperial salon in Berlin during the coming season.
 A well-known firm which spec ializes in uniforms and elaborate liveries of the pre-war period has just received large order for Other signs point to an organized attempt to revive some of the glittering pomp that marked social affairs before the war.
 The former emperor's consort is said to plan series of recep- tions, to which those of the old who have remained faithful to the house of Hohen- zollern are to be invited These social affairs are to take place in the so-ealled Netherlands Palace, Inter den Linden, near the for mer imperial palace. The Nether- lands Palace has remained the of the Hohenzollern family.
 An attempt to give tea parties a year or two ago failed. because the former courtiers could not accustom themselves to the thought of seeing someone in the place of the late Empress Aug uste Victoria, whose memory is sacred to all monarchists. Prin- cess Hermine, however. now ap- parently believes that enough time has elapsed and that sec ond attempt to open an imperial salon will be crowned with sue cess.

ArizOna's Political Streams Plugged by
 Boulder Dam Issue
(EOlToR'S NOTE: This is . the tenth of a series of stories on the political situation in the various states.)

on the poiiticai Situatioh m
 the various states.)
 PHOENIX, Ariz.. Aug. 29.-Tne muddy Colorado river rolls over national and state politics in Ari- zona and penetrates to the smallest chink in every public question here.
 Across the state boundary in southern California the proposed Boulder Canyon dam on the Colo rado is a hot political topic, but in Arizona-and from an entirely diff ferent angle-it is the very breath of political life. The Colorado river question affects, besides these two. five other western states, but it reaches it's maximum heat in Arizona.
 This state, standing alone. de- mands recognition of certain rights she feels she has in the river wat CTS before a move is made do dam and distribute them. So far, she asserts she has not received that recognition.
 Brown Political Tint
 Arizona separates her state from her national politics, but she tints both liberally with Colorado river brown. She preferred a Demo- cratic president in 1916. but elect ed a Republican governor. In 1920 the state gave both Presi- dent and governor a Republican majority, but in 1924 her Cover nor was Democratic and her presi- dential choice Republican.
 Her Democratic delegation to the Houston convention started with Smith and finished with him. Her Republican relegation to Kan sas City fought Hoover's nomina- tion and stood by Frank o. Low den of Illinois until Lowden left the race.
 Republicans fee.a this state wanted Lowden as G. o. P. candi- Idate for two reasons First, be- cause he has a farm in Arizona. spends several months of the year there and was assumed to know the problems of a state whose farm interests are growing by | leaps and bounds; second, they favored Lowden over Hoover be- cause the latter is Californian by residence, and that point drag Iged in the California river bogey, because to be Californian in much of Arizona is to be in the camp of the enemy in the battle of Boulder dam.
 When Lowden dropped from the race the Arizona G. o. P dele gates at Kansas City turned with as much grace as possible to the support of the Secretary of Com merce, but they frankly said that the same strong campaign could not be waged in their state for the Californian as could have been staged for the former Illinois exc cutive, their farmer-neighbor and close friend.
 In their governor, George w. P. Hunt, seeking renomination, the Democrats have a colorful leader in state affairs who is as uncom- promising on the Colorado river matter as he is emphatic in voic- ing his views
 Hunt Is Optimistic Known as Hell No" Hunt since a river conference at Denver, where he met virtually every coun- ter proposition with those two words, the man who climbed from bus boy in mining town restaur- ant to the gubernatorial chair faces the present campaign with the firm conviction that he will win. He has done so before. but in some instances by almost nair- line margins.
