Answers Woods Charges
Alleging Democrat Misrep-
resentation "PIot."

Jouett Shouse, chairman Of the
Democratic National Executive Com
mittee, today fired the latest shot In
the cannonade being exchanged by the
publicity divisions of the two major po-
litical parties.
The Democratic official revived a
speech Representative Wood of Indiana
made IN the House several years ago
attacking Herbert Hoover, and quoted
from 1t as an answer to the Republican
leaders charges yesterday that the
Democrats had plotted to misrepresent
the Chief Executive.
Wood. chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee, said In a
statement yesterday that John j. Ras-
kob. chairman Of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, had employed q
highly paid newspaper man to issue at
tacks against the Chief Executive,
which, he said. was without parallel In
American politics.
Referring to efforts to discredit Mr.
Democratic National Executive Commit
tee, said, in statement issued through
the committee, here is an excerpt from
speech by Representative viii r..
Wood Of Indiana, relative to the appro-
priation Of 500, 000, 900 to be expended
by the man who is now President of the
United States to feed Europe after the
war:
:" L think said Mr. Wood, he is the
most expensive luxury that was ever
fastened upon this country. / think
he win continue to be the most expen-
stve luxury with which we have to do if
We continue to give him unlimited
power"
Later In this speech, Shouse said, the
Indianan informed Congress that Mr..
Hoovers Endorsement of President Will
sons plea for the election of a Demo-
cratic Congress should be SUFFICIENT to
condemn him in the minds of all men
as being unit for responsible position
Of trust"
Shouse said he did not think any
Democratic criticism Of President Hoo
yer had contained anything so calcu-
lated to challenge, Islander and ma
lign" Mr.. Hoover.
The Democratic leader said Wood OBJ
yiouSly differentiated between assaults
on a Democratic and a Republican
President, adding that the Indianan
made severe attacks on President VIII
son In the House.

Prohibition was the principal issue be-
fore the Democratic State Convention
today.
Leaders expressed belief that the in
Sistent demands from various delega-
tons for q strong anti-prohibition plank
In the party platform might lead to
general debate on the convention floor
Hopes were expressed, however, that
the question might be settled In the
resolutions committee.
Chief among the Democratic aspirants
for the gubernatorial nomination were
G. Ben Ross, Pocatello mayor. and
Asher B. Wilson of Twin Falls.
At Idaho Falls Republican delegates
gathered for their State convention
with the gubernatorial nomination the
center of interest.
On the basis of a pre-convention
caucus, managers of John McMurray
former State chairman, claimed SUM-
client votes to nominate him on the
first ballot.
Other candidates for the Republican
nomination for Governor-Byron Defen-
bach, State treasurer w. D. Gillis, at.
torney general, and Oscar e. HALEY
formed a coalition to prevent McMur'
rays nomination.

DETROIT, August 26.-Police today
were considering the theory that the
drowning of Francis Whalen early yes

the killing of Gerald Z. (Jerry) Buckley,

Whalen, an electrical contractor, was
thrown from an automobile into rail-

regarded 1t as. possible that Whalen may

to believe he had important information
about the Buckley killing.
