May Extend Drive West.
indications are that the President will
| spend the greater part of the time be-
| tween now and election day travelling.
There is strong likelihood he will extend
his fighting campaign into the Far West
beyond the Rockies and to the Pacific
Coast, stopping at his home in Palo
Alto, Calf. where he will personally
cast his ballot and then await the ver-
dict Of November g.
The Far Western swing, however, has
not been definitely agreed upon.
The Presidents only definite plan Is
TO deliver his major address in Madison
Square Garden New York next Monday
| night and that he will deliver an i'm
portant speech in Newark, N. j., en-
! route to New York.
Postmaster General Brown, upon
leaving the White House. said the Presi-
| dents personal appearances thus far
| ana his three major addresses already
! oelivered have unquestionably strength
/ ened his campaign.
May Enter Middle West.
The President also is considering
going to the Middle West again either
toward the end of this week or imme-
| diately following his New York address
next Monday night. Speculation re-
garding another Midwest invasion in
clude major speeches by the President,
| first in Indianapolis and in Chicago, III.
1t is understood that Senator Glenn Of
Illinois and Henry Ford, who accom-
panied the President on his train
| journey to Washington from Detroit,
have been urging the President to make
personal appearance in Chicago.
| Other advisers are understood to have
| told the President that while his
chances are improving in Illinois, it is
necessary for him to personally go to
that State and make another fighting
speech to swing it into the Republican
! column.
! Further speculation regarding the
| Presidents wind-up campaigning in
| cludes an excursion into Minnesota
and a speech in ST. Louis. Mo. 1t is
| thought that in the event the President
| does decide to carry his fight across the
continent he surely will make a major
| address in Denver, Colo; Salt Lake
City, Utah: Portland, Oreg, and Seattle,
! Wash. 1t is understood that the ten
/ tative plans do not call for speech in
! California. 1t IS understood that in
these plans the President has reserved
| Palo Alto for his Nationwide appeal
over the radio the night before election
day.
! 1t is thought that if Mr. Hoover does
! go to California to remain over cleo
! tion day. he will seek rest aboard a
naval vessel, which will bring MIN
back to Washington through the Pan
| anna Canal.
Countless Messages Received.
/ These who talked with the President
| today are impressed with his fighting
spirit and determination personally to
| carry on the fight He has received
countless messages from all parts of the
country congratulating him upon his
| Detroit address. The President is I'M
derstood to have been not at all dis
| pleased by the "booing" that greeted
him upon his arrival in Detroit Satur-
day night. Mr.. Hoover has reason to
know that this rudeness and dis
| courtesy came from Communists.
! Therefore, he is represented as feeling
! that such a demonstration from Com
munists should be helpful to him per-
sonally in this campaign.
Henry Ford and Mrs. Ford and their
son Edsel accompanied the President
and Mrs. Hoover to the White House
early yesterday afternoon. Later ir the
afternoon Mrs. Hoover went driving with
| the Fords for about an hour while Mr..
Hoover was busily engaged in the Lin
| coin study. The Ford family left Wash
| ington late yesterday afternoon for the
South.
Mr.. Hoover showed no Ill effects to-
| day from his Saturday ordeal of IA
rear platform speeches as well as the
speech in Detroit. He rose at his Gus
tomary early hour and played medicine
ball on the rear ground and was at his
desk at the executive Office before am.
