ABOARD HOOVER SPECIAL
TRAIN NEARING DODGE CITY,
Kans., Aug. 20.-Herbert Hoover
moved into the farm belt today for
four days of conferences about his
tariff. waterways, marketing and
farm relief views.
Senator Arthu Capper, the in
f1uential Kansas agricultural editor
and David Mulvane, Republican ma
tional committeeman of Kansas,
we're to be the advance guard of
the farm legions, boarding the train
at Dodge City for the trip across
kansas.
At nearly every one of the numer-
Gus stops some of the farm leaders
or representatives of Congress are
expected aboard to give the nolni-
nee his first direct reaction from
the disturbed agricultural area since
he laid down his anti-McNary-
Haugen bill relief project in his
California acceptance speech.
Speaks at Five Towns
Arrangements also were made for
him to speak to the farmers at five
towns stretched across Kansas
Dodge City, Hutchinson, Newton,
Emporia and Topeka. They are to
be brief five minute get-together
speeches from the rear of the train.
Representative Tincher, co-author
of the Capper- Tincher farm bill is
due aboard at Hutchinson and Will
liam Allen White, Jr., son of the
Emporla publisher, has wired he
wants to see the nominee for a
moment at Emporia.
Tonight at Kansas City, Hoover
will be greeted by Mayor Albert L
Beach and a Republican delegation.
They will confer with him briefly
about the local political situation.
Hoover also will meet there his
second son, Herbert Hoover, Jr., who
is joining the party so the whole
family may be present at the birth
place celebration for the nominee
Tuesday at West Branch, Iowa.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover and their
two sons will spend Tuesday sur
veying the old native village before
Hoover makes his farm speech in
tent there Tuesday night.
Nominee Well Pleased
The following two days will be
spent in conferences with farm edi-
tors, leaders and farmers at Cedar
Rapids.
The nominee is we'll pleased with
his first stumping campaign trip,
now four days old. From his pacify-
ing Boulder Dam speech in Los
Angeles Friday to his truce nego-
tiationS between Republican factions
in New Mexico Sunday, the candi-
date considers his trip has been
more necessary than he thought it
could be.
In southern California he sue
ceeded in lining up many of the
Boulder Dam enthusiasts by his
declaration for high dam. In Ari-
IONA he told the three Scrapping
candidates for the Republican gu
bernatorial nomination to save their
fighting for the contest against the
Democrats. He received assurances
from them that no matter what
their local differences were, they
were all for him.
He detected strained feeling in
New Mexico between the Repub-
lican faction headed by James Nc
Nary, rich lumberman, and that of
the Senator Cutting Governor Dill
Ion group, but again he found both
sides for him.
No Colorado Appearance
He made hit in both states by
inviting chairmen from all sections
to be his guests on the train in the
journey across their States.
Never before have county chair
men in Arizona and New Mexico
received such distinction from
Presidential candidate and they
made their pleasure known in no
uncertain manner.
The nominees train skirted
through the southeastern edge of
Colorado Sunday night, but it was
after bedtime when he reached
Trinidad, and therefore he made no
appearance.
