! With President Hoover, Vice Presi-
dent Curtis and Chairman Everett
Sanders of the Republican National
! Committee all in Washington today
| the plans for an intensive Republican
campaign from now until election day
were still further developed
Mr.. Sanders, who was in conference
| with the President and with Secretary
Mills and Secretary Hurley, is to leave
later today to return to Chicago and
the Republican headquarters there.
The Republican chairman declared his
belief that the country will re-elect
President Hoover and Vice President
Curtis. He insisted there had been q
| steady sweep of sentiment in favor of
the President ever since he made his
acceptance speech.
The Republicans, however, are planning
to overlook no bets. They are mobiliz-
ing long list of speakers who are TO
carry to the country the doctrines
which the President enunciated in his
acceptance speech. They believe that
in the seven weeks remaining before
election the country can be made to
realize the need of keeping Mr.. Hoover
and the Republicans in power and
! turning down the Democrats.
Curtis Meeting Enthusiastic.
Vice President Curtis, who opened the
Republlcan campaign in Pennsylvania
on Saturday, said today that the meet
ing had been most enthusiastic out
! pouring OF voters from all parts of the
/ State and that it was one of the largest
political gatherings ever held in the
keystone State. He was informed by
the Pennsylvania leaders there was
every reason to believe that the Re-
publicans would roll up the usual Re-
/ publican majority in the State when
| November 8, election day, arrives.
| Mr.. Curtis leaves here tomorrow TO 90
campaigning in Tennessee, Kentucky
and West Virginia before heading West
In Tennessee he will speak at Repub-
| ican meetings in Knoxville and Chat
tanooga. The Republicans carried all
three Of these border States in 1928.
and they are to make a real campaign
in them this year.
! Vandenburg Is Confident.
! One of the Presidents callers today
! was Senator Vandenberg of Michigan
| who told the President that everything
! was in readiness for an intensive cam
| paign in that State. He himself, hs
said, already has been touring the State
TO some extent. The Democrats are
claiming chance TO carry Michigan
| this year, relying on unemployment and
| nard times to throw this Republican
| stronghold to them. But the Repub-
| lican leaders insist that when the show
/ down comes Michigan will be found
in the Republican column
Senator Vandenberg said:
Il believe President Hoover will carry
Michigan. There has been a real swing
toward him, particularly since he de-
Ivered his acceptance speech. That
was the most effective political utter
| ance in my time. A few more center
shots of that kind from the President
will do great deal to win this cam
paign."
Senator Vandenberg said he found
the audiences he talked with more at
tentive than in other political cam
paigns, indicating a desire to hear the
whole story.
G. o. p. Feels Concern.
There is no doubt whatever, how
ever, that the Republicans are exer-
cised over the situation in Michigan.
I Lie pI ulldIy IIlSlS last WSGk SIlOWeu
that the Democrats polled "a per cent
of the total vote cast in the State and
SO per cent of the vote cast in Detroit
Such thing has been almost unheard
of in the past SO far as Michigan is
concerned. Furthermore, the registra-
tion in Detroit this year is up to
! 100000. with some registration days
still to come in October. This is I25 900
greater than the registration in 1928.
| There is fear on the part of some of
the Republicans that the big vote may
turn out to be a protest vote against
| hard times. Detroit has been one OF
the hardest hit cities in the country.
A group Of newspaper editors from
! Michigan is in Washington today and
will be entertained by President Hoo
yer at the White House at o'clock
tonight Senator Vandenberg is to be
their host at dinner at $50 o'clock. At
| dinner will be Secretary of Commerce
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury.
both of whom are from Michigan
| These newspaper editors will be
brought to the White House by Senator
Vandenberg Of Michigan, who has been
a lifelong newspaper man. 1t is under
| stood that the President, after round
! Of introductions, will take his guests to
| the Lincoln study on the second floor,
where they will sit and talk for prob
ably an hour and half.
The Michigan editors arrived in
| Washington yesterday afternoon and
