INTO THE EAST
 CENTRAL STATES
 STARTS HOOVER
For the Fourth Time He Invade s Apparently Hostile Territory to Try to Win Back Voters
By RAYMOND CHAPTER United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

Aboard President Hoovers Spe7 cial Train, Martfnsburg, w., Va, Oct 2S. (UP)-For the fourth time since the beginning of his personal campaign for reelection, President Hoover to-day carried his fight into the east central states, on his way to Indianapolis for major ad- dress tonight.
 The presidents drive to win this important block of states to his banner, scheduled to begin with a "breakfast speech at Park ersburg, w. Va., was the most in- tensive of any of the rapid journeys he has taken into the heart of the
 country.
 Twelve brief appearances had
 been arranged in West Virginia,
 Ohio and Indiana, before his spe-
 cial train was due to reach it's ob-
 jective at Indianapolis. at p. m., c. S., 1T. to-day.
 In the presidential party were Mrs Hoover, French Strother, his administrative assistant, former Senator Henry J. Allen. Lawrence Richey and Walter H. Newton, White House secretaries, pr Joel lT. Boone, MT Hoover's personal physician, and a corps of stenog- raphers for transcribing the long succession of back-platform ad- dresses.
 The Presidents special left Washington at 11:01 last night, after MT Hoover had spent 8 busy day of preparation for the lopg grind of speech-making.
 Several hundred citizens of Washington gathered at the sta ttion to watch his departure, and the president stood for 8 few mo- ments on the back platform of the train, waving at the crowd. To-day's strenuous program, in- creased yesterday by the addition of four new scheduled stops, at Hamden and Oxford, Ohio, and Liberty, and New Palestine, In- diana, gave no opportunity for late rising or early morning rest. The train was due at Parkersburg, w. Va, at 8:25 a. m. Ha1ting for a five minute address by the candidate. After his major speech at In- dianapolis, where he will talk at the Field House of Butler univer- 1sity in an auditorium holding 22,- 900 persons, the president, will re- sume his cross-country speaking tour, returning to Washington with ten stops on the way.
 | No formalities are planned in In- dianapolis after MT Hoover's speech, because of the lack of time before his schedule called for the start of the return trip.

In short, the pleas and speeches and
testimony before congressional commit
tees did not arouse such popular sup
port as to make reorganization a para
mount issue. Time and circumstance
had to attend to that. But now, with
economy a pressing demand, he finds
that the previous efforts were by no
means wasted, for out of them came the
most complete and coherent plan in ex-
istence. AS a matter of fact, his is al
most the only plan. That is one reason

why each effort toward pairing the bud
get turns attention to the Hoover pro-
posals. They have been set forth many
times in simple words and still simpler
graphs and charts.
THE economy bill recently passed by
Congress contains a definite ap-
proach to the Hoover plans, in that it
gives the President the authority he has
been seeking for 10 years, but it ties
tail onto the law to the effect that the
reorganization can take place only after
Congress has approved of the changes
the President may order. The law also
provides that Congress shall have 80

legislative days to debate upon the
changes.
This reservation, of course, Is very inn
portant and leaves large question mark
as to what will finally be accomplished,
but, nevertheless, it is the most definite
advance yet made toward actual reor-
ganization. Under this bill it is certain
that nothing can be done until next year.
The next session Of Congress will con-
vene in December. That month contains
about Is legislative days; January offers
about the same number. So the full 60
legislative days would not expire until
some time in March.
This subject of reorganization and
economy is by no means new. Away
back in the dark ages before the World
War President Taft startled the Nation
by announcing that sound reorganization
and strict economy could save $500, 100000

Federal Government is mobiliz-

plans Of President Hoover for
the reorganization of the machinery of
government than he was able to create
by persistent effort during nearly IL
years.
This subject was one of the first to
challenge his attention and effort when
he entered the cabinet of President
Harding on March S, 1921, as Secretary
Of Commerce. His speeches and state
papers setting forth the present evils and
urging reforms would make a fair-sized
volume, but, as he himself said in an

the tomorrow is to be brighter and
more cheerful than today depends
entirely upon the intelligence of the
great masses of our citizenship. Will
they use the opportunity afforded
them in the coming election and make
complete change in our government
or will they allow the same forces Of
reaction that helped to enslave them
and brought about this depression, to
continue in office and to shape the
destirties of the nation? Will our
people allow themselves as in times
past, to be misled by false issues OF
