replied 70 some Of Governor Smiths
western attacks on his opponent.
Smith Acclaimed
A constant roar Of welcome and ac-
claim has accompanied Governor
smith throughout his western swing.
Whether the cheering can be trans
lated into votes remains for the bal
lot boxes to disclose, but certainly
this visit TO the western country has
conceded with certain developments
which have given no comfort to the
republicans.
Senator Norris Or Nebraska. an in
dependent republican, ventured the
opinion that Smiths Omaha speech
ought to satisfy everyone who fav-
ored the principle Of the McNary-
Haugen bill. and that his Denver
speech on watcrpower was the most
progressive" ever delivered BY a
candidate for the presidency. Norris
disagrees with the Smith prohibition
specifications, and regards water
power a. the paramount issue.
From North Dakota a warning Of
serious trouble among the farmers
was given Mr.. Hoover hy Senator
Frazier. and at the same time the
North Dakota governor, Walter r..
Maddox. was telling Governor Smith
that 50 per cent Of the farmers Of the
state were ready 70 vote the demo-
cratic ticket.
Hoover Eyes South
The South appears TO have been
much in Mr.. Hoover'S thoughts dur
Ing the present week. Interrupting
preparation Of the speech he will de-
liver on October 6 in Tennessee, he
received a delegation Of first votrs
from Virginia. and told them the
republican party was big enough to
look after the needs Of every section
Of the country.
The present plans Of the repub-
lican nominee will not take him be-
yond the border country but other
republican speakers are to 60 into
the heart Of the South. where the
usually placid political waters are
greatly disturbed.
Hoover's running mate, Senator
Curtis. has returned TO the same dis
ruted sector after a swing through
the west.

British Papers

criticism OF the British government

tenor Of the American note.
In official quarters IL was stated
that any comment from the govern
ment must be deferred until the cab
met met. probably on Tuesday.
The Times maintained the Anglo
French proposal was a genuine ef-
fort to avoid n deadlock over disar-
mament and thought that this point
was misunderstood. although quito
sincerely, in the United States. The
paper found that after all there were
"clear indications in the American
note Of a desire for further consid-
Grafton"
The Morning Post. which is often
outspokenly critical Of the United
States, expressed the hope that "thc
entirely reasonable ard friendly tone
of the note will assuage the resent
ment which IS being worked up By a
section Of the press"
The Daily Telegraph again attack
ed British secrecy over the proposals
which were KILLED BY the American
reply as they were bound to be kill
ed The paper said that. notwith-
standing its diplomatic courtesy. the
note made obvious that America did
not relish being asked to accept that
which had already been rejected.
The note was described By the
Daily News as a model Of dignity.
clearness and restraint" The paper
welcomed Americas willingness a.
continue 70 find a basis for agree
ment as a "fine gesture.
The Daily Chronicle could imagine
nothing more tactless than Great
Britain's apparent assumption that
the United States might change its
mind. remarking lit might even be
construed as studied inSoience."
