Radio Delays All
BIZ Unitcd Prcss

bU OWtttV RUSS
ALBANY, N. Y, July %. - The
tentative presidential campaign of
Alfred E. Smith may have to be ma
terially altered, it developed today
as a result of a hitch in securing
radio facilities for broadcasting the
notification speech.
AS a result, it is probable that a
revision of the tentative schedule
will be made and that it will call for
more speeches in the large centers
of population by the Government.
The notification date probably
will be determined early this week,
negotiations between representatives
of the Government, radio stations
and radio advertisers being sched-
uled to conclude today or Tuesday.
An attitude of silence toward his
notification speech has been
adopted by Smith. He will not dis
close a single detail of it, although
willing to make general statements
to the effect that it will cover all
planks in his platform. There is a
possibility that he soon will confer
with Governor Albert Ritchie Of
Maryland in Albany.

READY FOR VOTE GRIND
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

PALO ALTO, Cal, July ga
whisper campaign regarding Her
bert Hoover's health has been re-
ported to Republican presidential
headquarters and has been promptly
spiked.
Hoover is not in the best physical
condition of his career, but he is in
good health and is following the
advice given him by everyone to
watch his eating and his exercise
carefully. He feels much better thar
when he left Washington nine days
ago and he looks fit.
Stories have been brought to
headquarters of whispers around
that the candidate could not expect
to get through the terrific strain of
a presidential campaign without a
breakdown. Even if elected the ire
snendous duties of the White House
which have been ascribed as cause
for the deaths of many Presidents
might leave their mark on him,
these stories relate.
Not Worried Over Health
They are without foundation, but
they have been circulated to such
an extent that they are heard daily
on the streets of San Francisco.
One New York newspaper wired its
correspondents here to watch the
candidates health carefully.
George Akerson, secretary of the
nominee, told the United Press that
Hoover and all members of his fam
lily and personal encourage were not
worried the slightest by his health.
Newspaper men who see and talk
with him every day here are unani-
NOUS in the opinion that the strain
of the pre- convention campaign and
the ensuing organization work have
not impaired his health.
His trip to the klamath river red
wood region of northern California
was not arranged primarily to give
him a rest or because of his health.
He desired the trip so eastern news
papermen with the party could see
that district in which ne is inter
ested as a typical California booster.
The stories are believed by Hoover
headquarters to have arisen from a
suggestion given Hoover by Presi-
dent Coolidge that he take care of
himself. They are said to have been
taken up by his political opponents
and circulated widely.
Spends Weekend Quietly
Hoover has highly developed
nervous energy which induces him
to eat rapidly. He always is busy.
The candidate has arranged "a
busy week of political conferences,
starting today. Senator Hiram
johnson of California, who is swing
ing his faction in the State with
Hoover, was the visitor of the day.
Tuesday will come Mayor Rolph
of San Francisco to arrange for the
welcoming ceremony there, probably
next Friday or Saturday. At the
same time Senator Sam Shortridge
will call to pay his respects. Other
political leaders of the Pacific coast
region are arranging for visits later
in the week.
The nominee spent the weekend
quietly at his home. He and Mrs.
Hoover went for an automobile ride
after they had attended monde
nominational church services in the
college chapel along with students
and members of the faculty.

UNUSUAL CASE IN
RENVILLE COUNTY

An unusual case, and one, the out
come of which will be eagerly watch
ed, especially by those engaged in the
illicit sale of intoxicating liquor, will
probably be tried during the next
term of the Renville county district
court at Olivia.
The action has been brought by
Mrs. Anna Sausele against Gilbert
Kortgard, to cover $4,000 damages,
alleging that the defendant substan-
tally contributed to the death of
plaintiffs husband, George Sausele,
former Renville garage owner, by
furnishing him with moonshine whis-
key and other Intoxicating liquors in
large quantities.
Sausele died June rs, this year, at
the age of 81 years. He and his
widow were married, May 4, 1914.
Up to the time of the alleged unlaw-
full acts of the defendant, according
to the complaint, Sausele was
strong, healthy, able-bodied man, en-
gagged in the automobile and garage
business at Renville, earning from
$4,000 to $4,000 per year. From
these earnings he contributed an av-
erage of 500 per month toward the
support of his wife, the complaint
alleges.
1t seems that during the year 1926,
Sausele began drinking Intoxicating
liquors to excess, which continued un-
til his death from alcoholism. AS a
result of being permanently deprived
of her means of support, his widow
is now seeking damages to the ex-
tent of $4,000. She has retained
the New Ulm law firm of Streissguth |
and Fordyce as counsel.
