STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calf,
August I5.-While there is a general
notion that Herbert Hoover is devoting
most of his thought and attention at
this stage of his campaign TO the East
and agricultural Middle West. such is
not entirely the case.
Developments In the solid South
as the presidential race gets Its be-
lated start, probably hold as much in
terest for the Republican nominee as
those In any other section Of the coun-
try. This is due in a measure to re-
ports which were brought to him here
at notification time, and also messages
which he has received from that Sec
ton as TO the reception OF his accept
ance speech.
While it is still too early for him to
formulate his plane for the two and a
half months remaining before election
time, it is fairly certain that he will in
wade the South, speaking at least at
Memphis, Tenn, which was his head
quarters during the first phase OF his
Mississippi food relief work last year.

Whether he viii extend his itinerary

ward probably will depend upon condi-

now. 1t may be that he will go into

didaey.
There will also be speaking engage
ments in the sast, where leaders are

ganization. which he has insisted from

pose of carrying the campaign into
every crossroads hamlet. These mat
ters he now has under adyisement.
Setting cut TO strike a new note In
his acceptance address that of call to
the people TO give their patriotic i'm
pulses play in the relationship with

base their conclusions upon the tenor
both Of personal messages and editorial
expressions.
Works on Second Speech.
These advisers predict that the candi-
dates's future speeches viii be pitched
upon much the same plane; that they
viii express the abiding belief he holds
that the American people want to build
In this Nation a human society, not an
economic system.
