Willis, Watson, Curtis and
LOwden Reach Agreement
In Delegate Hunt
Missouri Senator Promises
Interesting Copy on
His Trip

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 lP-Re-
versing all of the traditions of recent
years, the republicans are growing
nOiSier and nOiSier at their presi-
dental slate-malxing while the demo-
Gratis remain, for the most part, calm
and deliberate
Secretary Hoover'S announcement
of his candidacy has awakened echoes
of varying quality during the past
week in almost every state, with
the hurrahing Ioudest in Ohio, where
the Hoover and Willis camps are
arIning for a war without quarter.
Among the democrats the week has
seen a further unfolding of the Smith
movement, and a further quiet de-
velopment, likewise, of an anti Smith
movement, particularly in the south
New democratic thunder is in i'm
mediate prospect, for Senator Reed
of Missouri, always a virile cam
paigner, left washington today for
a swing round the circle in the west,
but whether he will carry his thrusts
through to the persons OF his adj
versarieS, as some of the republican
candidates are doing, remains to be
seen.
The republican situation in Ohio
has developed symptom which at
any stage of campaign always
attracts the immediate attention of
political diagnosticianS. AS result
of this latest turn of affairs, the
Ohio battle appears to have become
a fight between Hoover and the field
Announcement of this development
was made today by the Willis man
ayers in Columbus, who said that
Frank o. Lowden, Senator Curtis OF
Kansas and Senator Watson OF Ind
lana all had authorized Willis cam
didateS for delegates to the Kansas
City convention to name them as
second choice These three candi-
dates nowhere are eontesting against
Senator Willis himself, and their in
tereStS become his interests SO far
as Ohio is concerned when they
agree to go on the same ticket with
him.
Senator Willis is in Ohio personally
overseeing the maneuvering of his
lieutenantS against the Hoover
people, who several days ago un-
expectedly captured the support OF
Maurice MaScheke, the states rep
reSentative on the republican national
committee.
Although Senator Reed has not
formally announced his candidacy fol
the democratic nomination, he pro-
poses to talk politics during his west
ern trip, which will take him into
ten or a dozen states west of the
Mississippi. The first speech will be
delivered Monday night at Dallas

What a bleak outlook for hu-
