They Can Unite

Unless Governor Walter Maddox
decides today if he wants .to run for
tho governorShip naxt fall. it is prob
able that no announcement Of his in
tentions will be made until next
week.
The governor will leave for his
home at Plaza today and will not
return for several days, possibly not
until Monday. He is being annoyed
by an attack Of hay fever and feels
that q return to the farm may relieve
this condition. Incidentally, it will
take him away from the storm Of
advice which has assailed his ears
since he became governor.
Nonpartisans who yesterday voted
against supporting Hoover for presi-
dent said today that Maddox has
been assured Of their support il he
desires to run either in the Inde-
pendent column or as = Democrat.
It was intimated, however, that

HOOVER READY
!. TO MAKE FOUR
TALKS IN EAST
Republican Nominee Will
Avoid Prohibition Discus
sion In Addresses
OTHER ISSUES IMPORTANT
Orders Go Forth to Leaders to
Keep Hands Off South Anti
Smith Move

Washington, Sept. 6.-(AP)-Her-
bert Hoover's New York address on
October II will be the fourth and
last he will make in the east and
south. Soon afterward he will be-
gin his final campaign drive with q
swing across the continent that will
take him to his California home in
time to vote in November.
His invasion Of the Democratic
south will be made early in October
with speech at Elizabethton, Tenn,
on the 9Th Of that month At an in
dustrial celebration. Either immedi-
ately before or after this trip he
will 60 to Boston to speak in the
state where the Republicans are CEN
tering a great deal Of effort.
While the Republican presidential
nominee has decided upon the theme
Of only his Newark, N. j., talk on
September II, it is now expected
that in none Of the four will he dis
cuss prohibition.
Hoover is represented as feeling
that his own position in favor Of the
eighteenth amendment and enforce
ment Of the dry laws is we'll known,
that the issue was definitely drawn
with announcement Of his Demo-
cratic opponent for amendment Of
the prohibition section Of the con-
stitution, and that the people would
prefer an elucidation Of his views on
other issues Of the campaign.
While he has decided to make only
one trip into the south. Hoover is
intensely interested in the situation
developing there.
It. is, known. however, that orders
have gone forth for Republican lead
ers to keep hands off in the anti
Smith movement in the several
states below the Mason and Dixon
line and to let the Democrats oppos-
ing the presidential nominee Of their
own party carry on their campaign
Independently. !.
Hoover is more than satisfied with
developments in the west, and was
gratified by the announcement OF
Senator Schall of Minnesota that he
would support the national ticket.
With the possible exception of Wis
consin, his reports show that there
have been no defections by outstand-
ing party leaders, as in the opposi-
tion camp, and he believes his own
party has developed q unity in this
campaign unknown for more than q
quarter Of q century.
