a statement made by his Republi-
can opponent in Washington last
week. The burden OF his speech
will be that political parties are
responsible for their acts when in

that Mr. Hoover must bear his
share of responsibility for the
eight-years' record, the more so be-
cause he was a Cabinet officer IN

HOOVER To GIVE
POWER VIEWS

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

In keeping with his purpose to
conduct an affirmative campaign,
Herbert Hoover will make a public
address during October on the sub
iect Of governmental regulation OF
water power and public utilities, 1t
was reported reliably here today at
his headquarters. :.
The Republican nominee will
"speak his mind" on this issue. 1t
was said, because he feels the public
has a right to know his views, and
not in any sense as a reply to the
attack of Coy. Alfred f. Smith, his
Democratic rival. Hoover will main
tain his stand that his campaign
must be conducted on a constructive
hasig. absolutely devoid of personali-
ties. For this reason, he will make
no reply now to Smiths Denver
speeches.
Smith AppOintees Cited
One of his advisers explained
Hooyer's attitude thus: I'm making

Hoover has no answer for Governor
smith. That would be engaging in
personalities. Before the end OF the
campaign, though, he will make his
own views on the power question
nerfectly plain, so everybody will un-
derstand them"
IToover's associates, however, were
angered by Governor Smiths tac-
tics.

ALL IN SAME BOAT
The fishing industry of Alaska

may be likened to the hand and fingers The fingers are all differ ent but they come from the same stllk. The interests of the halibut fishermen, the herring fishermen, the seiners, the trollers, may all be different. When the trollers fight the prostitution of our herring fish cries, the halibutmen indifferentiy s!, ug their shoulders and say it is no fight of theirs; when the seiner tries to interest the allied fisheries in their fight against the traps, they get the cold shoulder, and so on with the story.
 Last year the earnings of trollers were curtailed by lack of feed in the waters for king salmon the hali- hutmen lost thousands of dollars because they were unable to secure bait and to operate.
 When trolling is real slack in the eGmmer months, the troller goes ee;ning; the herring fisher, for bait, has to lay up his gear or go on short productions; and the seiner makes room for all.
 It behOOves all the fishermen to face the issues squarely and bend thCir effort toward making cOndi- tiCns better throughout the entire industry.
