Amy Plans for Campaign But Both
Men VIII Talk it Over and Form
uIate Policics-HOoyer to Meet
Other Political Leaders During
Latter Part of Week.

Californian and the kansan who
make up the republican presidential
ticket will spend this afternoon on
a back porch, planning their CAM
paign.

presidential nominee and one fourth
Kaw Indian. arrived here today and
made an appointment for what is
probably the most important confer
encc of the campaign, with Herbert
Hoover. the presidential nominee. on
the back porch of Hoover's S-strcet
home.
Both Hoover and Curtis have re-
Trained from making public any of
their plans pending the conference.
Met At the Train.
Curtis was met at the train, when
he arrived at S:35 a. m.. from To-
pcka, kans., by Hoover's secretary.
George T. Akerson. Hoover's big
automobile took Curtis to the home
of his brother-in-law and sister. Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Gam. Curtis has
lived at the Gann's modest house on
Macomb street since the death of
Mrs. Curtis last year, and expects
to stay there while in Washington.
Hoover and Curtis we're to meet
at noon for lunch at Hoover's home,
after which they planned to spend
the afternoon together.
Curtis. who is more OF cam
paigner than Hoover. is expected to
start touring the country in q few
weeks. He is to concentrate OF the
farming west, according to tenta-
tive plans.
Other political leaders had ap-
pointments with Hoover for today.
and it was indicated tht the Hoover
Curtis plans might be made public
in part later in the week. 1t is re-
garded as likely, however. that the
complete plans will not be disclosed
until the democratic convention
takes its action.
Another Conference.
One Of the most important factors
IN deciding on the campaign plans
is the conference to be held Thurs
day among Hoover. James W. Good.
of Iowa. his pre- convention man
aeer and a republican committee Of
"s named at the Kansas city con-
vention. The committee will select
new officers including a chairman.
Hoover will continue as secretary
of commerce for some time" Aker-
son said He would not elaborate
on whether this meant Hoover
would hold his post for several
months. as reported in outside cir
cles. Some friends intimated Hoover
might continue through the election
and until next March 4. regardless
of the outcome of the election.
