HOOVER GIVES
Time TO TALK
Writing Speech To Be
Made in Newark
Next Week
BY JAMES L. WEST
Associated Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-tF-Her-
bert Hoover is turning his attention
TO his third prepared address Of the
campaign which will be delivered az
Newark, N. j., probably the latter
part Of next week.
This will be the first appearance of
the republican presidential candidate
In the East, upon which section some
Of his advisors believe he should con-
centrate during the next month with
addresses in New York, home Of his
democratic opponent, Boston, and 9TH
err cities.
However, Hoover has made no COM
mittments beyond his Newark speech
which will be given in the center Of
the great northern New Jersey in
dustrial district and will deal largely
with labor. The nominee touched on
this subject briefly in his accept
ance address and is expected to elab-
crate particularly upon the question
Of the use Of iniunctions in labor dis
pntes.
This subject has received the earn
est attention of officials of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor for several
years. They presented their case
before the senate judiciary committee
at the last session OF congress, sup
porting the Shipstead resolution de-
claring against the use of injunctions
in controversies between workmen
and their employers.
In his address at Stamford uni
versity on august IL, Hoover said the
republican party stood for "the cur
tailment of the excessive use Of the
injunction in labor disputes" He
added that the republican platform
also Endorsed the principle of ~collec-
tive bargaining and Ereedcm in labor
negotiations.
After a 1wo-day rest at his home
here, the nominee planned confer
ences with several party leaders,
among them Senator Borah OF Idaho,
who soon is TO open his speaking cam
paign on behalf Of the Hoover Curtis
ticket.

or from the national standard Of that
party. This theory has been
preached widely by republican lead
ers, who always want a smashing
September victory in Maine for its
psychological effect on the rest Of
the country.
Smith Friends In Race
1t is not denied hat certain con-
siderations in the present state cam
paign have served to link up the state
contest with national issues. The re-
publican nominee for governor, Will
liam Tudor Gardiner, an immensely
popular personality, has stood on the
record Of both state and national ad-
rinistrations. Gardeners democratic
oppnent, Edward G. Moran, Jr., is a
fighting leader Of the younger gen.
GRAFTON. He has been a partisan of
Gov. Smith from pre-convention days.
Furthermore, the democratic sena-
torial candidate, Herbert f. Holmes,
who opposes the reelection OF Sem
ator Frederick Hale for a third term
at Washington is going about the
state selling AL Smith," as he him
self terms il.
Whatever strength IL may have at
traeted from the republican ranks,
this sort of campaign has lost for the
democratic state ticket the support OF
some, at least, Of the democratic
leaders who bolted Smith on account
OK prohibition. Outstanding among
these is Mrs. William r. Pattangall,
wife of the mar who has been for
several campaigns the idol OF thous-
ands Of Maine democrats, and her
self a former democratic national
committeeman.
Mrs. Ross Aids
With Several others formerly prom
inent among the democratic women
of the state she has gone over COM
pletely to the republicans and is
stumping for the defeat OF both state
and national democratic tickets. Pat
tangall himself. he's announced he
cannot support Smith.
In this final week the republicans
are pouring into the state a small
army Of spelbinders-senators, gov
ernors and congresmen from every
section Of the country, with Senator
Curtis, the vice presidential nominee,
as the headliner. The democratic ma
ticnal committee has sent in a very
few thousands Of dollars, and a very
few speakers Of note including, how
