leaders with President Hoover, along the
following lines:
President Hoover himself will deliver
three speeches during the campaign at
points in the country still to be an
nounced
He will not undertake a barnstorm-
ing tour Of three weeks or more through
the West or any other part of the
country. The President does not be-
lieve he would be justified in leaving
Washington during this period, when
every effort is being made to pull the
country out Of the depression, for an
extended campaign in the interests of
the Republican national ticket He has
a huge job on his hands right here
His answers to the people who have
been clamoring for him to visit all Sec
tions of the country in the interest
Of party success will be disappointing.
Plan vigorous Drive.
The Republican campaign, however,
is to be pushed vigorously, with long
list of speakers, including Vice Presi-

Representatives taking part in all the

Mills Also Going West.
Secretary Mills of the Treasury also
is going into the Far West. He will de-
liver an address in Detroit at the Re-

go on his way to California and to
Oregon.
Despite the claims Of victory by the
Democrats in Oregon and California.
