HOOVER TOLD
HIS ELECTION
IS CERTAIN

= "A confident lot of Republicans
gathered in Washington today to
see and to hear President Hoo
yer formally launch the cam
paign tomorrow night with his
speech of acceptance.
Whether this confidence is
well-founded or whether it is the
usual type of campaign optimism
only time can tell-but all of Mr.
Hoover's White House callers in
the past few days have assured
him that his reelection can be
listed in the category Of GER
tainitieS.
East and west, the Republican
big.wigs are all confident. They
may be Bit hazy as to the basis
Tor this confidence, a bit vague
as to just what States will fall
into the Hoover column in No
ren1ber, but they literally exude
confidence.
Sanders Has No Doubt
Among today's arrivals was
Everett Sanders, chairman of
the Republican National Com
mittee. He said:
"The President will be re-
elected. There is no doubt
about that
Accompanying the new ma
tonal chairman was "Neighbor
Henry" Field, who defeated
Smith w. Brookhart for the Re
publican Senatorial nomination
jim Iowa.
The Democrats have been
making some tall claims con-
cerning Iowa.
women for Hoover"
Another arrival was Mrs. Ellis
A. Yost, director of women's ac-
tivities in the party. She as
sured all questioners that the
women of the country are lining
up for Mr.. Hoover "just as they
did in 1928"
The drys who have been beat
ing a path to the White House
doorstep during the preparation
of this speech were somewhat
disappointed today. What dis
turbed them most was the conf
dent prediction of such eastern
vets as Senator Felix Hebert,
of Rhode Island, and Senator
George H. Moses, Of New Hamp-
shire, that Mr.. Hoover's attitude
on prohibition, as expressed in
his speech tomorrow night, will
be satisfactory to the wet East.

-HE crudey lettered Signboard on the

true in more senses than one. You
can't spend a week at the Atterbury
homestead without falling under the spell Of
Uncle Jed-especially if you happen to be
writer in search of copy.
But a week is about long enough. I made
the mistake of staying there for six weeks last
Summer. 1t was too long; before l left all my
Illusions had been shattered. And as TINS Is

very close to the heart Of America. But the
most unforgettable picture of all was Uncle Jed
silhouetted against the lamplight. singing his
favorite hymns while his spinster daughter
Matilda "chorded" accompaniment on the
wheezy parlor organ.
Although Uncle Jed offered his boarders no
golf tennis, swimming or other Summer resort
recreations, the mere mechanics Of farm life
proved sufficiently diverting. Most of the pay
ing guests were city jewellers to whom barnyard
chores were refreshing novelty. They watched
them with interest. and even participated tim
idly in the Harvesting of horses, the milking OF
COWS and the feeding of chickens. They &C

But two weeks of it plenty for the aver

city. When I told him that I hadn't decided,
a shadow of disappointment darkened his rug
