OF North Dakota high school teams,

nounced by the Associated Press Fri
day. The prior plan Of announce
ment before the state tournament
was abandoned when leading coach

hardship on players, teams and
coaches when announced before titu-
lar play had been completed. :.
Comments from many of the n
coaches who participated in the poll
favored the later announcement.
Claude Miller, Valley City high
school coach, says, Il think the pick
ing of team from the state at large
is fine idea, but that it affects
many tournament players adversely
when announced before the annual
championship play is complete"

prove his honors in play and in such
a tense state very often fails badly

the announcement is fine thing for
everyone concerned"

SOUTH|SSORRY,
HEARST POLL
REVEALS
BY COLE E. MORGAN

The solid South seems to be
full Of remorse for what it did to
the Democratic party four years
ago. 1t looks as though the cot
ton country is going to roll up a
Democratic majority this year
that will be bigger than it has
ever before given a Democratic
presidential nominee.
This is the way it appears from
a study of returns from that sec
tton in the nationwide presiden.
tial poll of The Washington
Times and other Hearst papers
New returns tabulated today
from the nine States reaching
from South Carolina to Texas
bring the totals from that area
to 20,991 for Governor Roosevelt
to 3,184 for President Hoover.
Adding North Carolina and Vir-
ginia shows 27,783 for Roosevelt
and 4,972 for Hoover.
Roosevelt is getting IS per cent
Of the total for the whole sec
tion and in no State as low as
70 per cent. That shows the
South is about as near unani-
nous for the Democratic nominee
as party managers could we'll ex-
pect. It's a far different story
than four years ago.

Cites Records to Offset
"Whispering Campaign"

A revival Of campaign whispers con-
cerning President Hoovers citizenship
Yesterday brought sharp assertion
from the State Department. final au-
thority in such matters. that there
never has been any question OF Mr.
Hoover's status as an American citi-
zen.'
The statement was made public in a
letter from W. r. Castle, jr. acting Sec
retary of State. In an accompanying
statement by Henry J. Allen. director Of
publicity Of the Republican National
Committee, the latter explained that
malicious stories regarding President
Hoover's citizenship which were cir
culated during the 1928 campaign and
officially exposed then as false. have
been revived in the present campaign"

"A. Mr.. Hoover was never out Of the

The statement quoted DR.. F. Scott
