CURTIS GETS BRIEF
PERIOD OF REST
Physicians Advise Tempo
rary Halt in Speeches Due
to Condition of Throat.
BY the Associated Press.

TOPEKA. Kans., October 1.-Another
day of rest was afforded Senator Charles
Curtis, the Republican vice presidential
nominee, at his home here today pre-
paratory to departure tonight for Chi
cago, where he Will confer this week on
future campaign plans.
Aside from having to shake hands
with old friends here with his left hand
because Of the injury to the right, the
Senator seemed little the worse today
for his strenuous campaign in the West,
which was completed Saturday night at
Enid, Okla.
Doctors have ordered the vice presi-
Dental nominee to give his voice an i'm
mediate rest and for this reason he is
withholding decision on campaign
plans for the future. However, he will
keep his engagement in Chicago on
Wednesday night and at Gary, Ind, on
Friday. But he indicated today he might
be forced to make both addresses brief
on account of the condition of the
throat.
Among the plans under consideration
for the Senator's future speaking en-
gagementS is trip into the Northwest
next week, and this will be decided after
his arrival in Chicago tomorrow. The
nominee was enthusiastic upon his a.
rival here over the outlook in the Is
Western States he has visited and he
declared the West is safe"
Curtis gave first consideration today
to the doctor who is treating his throat
and hand. The finger on the right
hand, which was mashed when caught
in an automobile door at LaWton, Okla,
was reported improving and he hopes
to be free soon of the sling in which
he now carries the hand.

NEW YORK. October 1.-The Prohi-
bition party entered the political Isis
this Summer with duly nominated can
didates for the presidency and vice
presidency.
Those candidates still are running fer
Office but not under the auspices Of III
national committee of their party.
The split came after Herbert Hoover's
acceptance speech-a speech which pro-
hibition leaders previously had said
would decide whether the party would
keep its candidates in the field.
Satisfied with Hoover'S stand on pre-
hibition as expressed in his acceptance
address. the prohibition national COM
mittee decided to swing support Of Their
party to the Republican candidates and
withdraw on their own standard bearer.
But this decision failed to meet with
the approval of the prohibition canGi-

they are in complete disagreement.
Smith could not, if he were elected.
change the eighteenth amendment or
the Volstead act" Colvin said in a
statement, because he would have a
dry Congress, but his election would
encourage the lawless faction which
would suppose that it had a friend
in the President"
The committee is of the opinion that
New York will go for Hoover if the
upstate vote can be brought out and
will spend much of its efforts and
money for that purpose, especially to
get out the woman vote
Women are more interested in the
prohibition phase than in the other
outcomeS of the election" Colvin said
land We believe they will come out
stronger this year than ever before"
Sees Solid South Split.
Colvin expressed the opinion that the
solid South would relinquish its Demo-
cratic solidity this year to vote for
Hoover. He said he was confident that
Hoover would carry Florida, Georgia,
Alabama, Virginia, and Texas and that
he thought Mississippi and South Caro-
lima were waking up
Although the Prohibition party ex-

MOSES CRITIC|zES
SMITHS CAMPAIGN
Sees Exposition of Issues De-
signed to "CatCh Them
Coming and Going"
By the Associated Press.


CONCORD, N. H., october 1.-Sena-
tor George II. Moses Of New Hampshire,
vice chairman of the Eastern advisory
committee of the Republican national
committee, commenting last night en-
Gov. Smiths Milwaukee speech, de-
scribed the Democratic presidential
nominees exposition Of the issues as
"of n character calculated to catch
them coming and going"
The brown derby now turns East
again" the Senator said, land as the
million-dollar special rattles over the
rails it is possible to assess the Demo-
cratic candidates lltteranceS in tn
West. From Omaha to Milwaukee there
is no single issue which the candidate
had discussed upon which he has made
himself clear
Propositions All "Nebulous."
Upon farm relief, upon the water
power problem, upon administration,
even upon prohibition he remains de-
lightfully nebulous and can point TO his
speeches as affording reasons fer every
one to support him. Like the Dutch
mans trousers, which were designed to
be big enough for the largest man and
small enough for the tiniest boy, his ex-
position Of the issues which he deems to
be important has been of a character
calculated to catch them coming and
going.
He has been greeted by large crowds,
to be sure. SO was Bryan. He was re-
ceived by many cheers. So was Bryan
He will not be elected. Neither was
Bryan.
Derides Milwaukee Speech.
cat Milwaukee the candidate sought
to say word for the product which
once made Milwaukee famous He
promises to support the eighteenth
amendment and the enforcement stat
utes. The support he would give them
is to put them in prison under a SEN
tence of death and to feed them prison
rations while awaiting execution
