Speaking-Canvas Situation

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

DI ". UOULD L1NCOLN.
President Hoover is strongly urged by
political advisers to Jump into the cam
paign personally and to carry the
fight to Gov. Roosevelt in the West
and there are reports that he has
decided to do it.
In the opinion Of these advisers, the
situation in the country is too serious
to permit passive campaign; they
say the farmer and laborer must be
made to understand that they still
have a real stake in the country and
its Government, and that If they are
not to lose what they have they had
better turn their backs on, for ex-
ample, Roosevelt, Garner and McAdoo.
There are others of his advisers who
believe he would fare better by staying
on the job in Washington and giving
his time and attention to work of
reconstruction and relief These are
the advisers who point to the front
porch campaign waged in 1896 by
William Mckinley when William Jen-
nilgs Bryan was travelling up and
down the country, drawing huge crowds
and apparently far in the lead in the
September of that year only to lose to
Mckinley in November
Those who demand a more active
campaign, however, point to the agrees
sive Theodore Roosevelt and his cam
paign tactics.

1ous to have the President come to
those sections and speak during the
campaign. He said he had told the
President as much, but declined to re-
veal the reaction of Mr.. Hoover toward
this call from the West.
Officially, to date, the only informa-
tion from the White House is that the
President probably will make three
speeches in the campaign, one in the
East and two in the West and Middle
