Republican Ticket Heads Straddled On
 Prohibition Issue
Hoover in Acceptance Speech Bowed Down to the Men Who Made Up Platform

democratic candidates, Governor Roosevelt and Speaker Garner, are for unqualified repeal. They favor legislative not constitutional = provisions against the saloon and for protection of dry states.
 Whereas the republican party is for submission of the issue, the democratic platform recommends unqualified repeal, plus a recom- mendation that pending repeal con- gress vote in beer.
 The acceptance speech of Cur lis completes alignment of the big four on the eurcharged issue of whether the country should end the experiment on which it em- parked more than a decade. ago, hoping it had laid John Barley corn in his grave forever.
 Much of the hardest fighting over the issue will go in the con- gressional and senatorial fights. Drys and repealists alike realize that in the end the votes in con- gress will decide whether an amendment is to be submitted and is so in what form.

HOOVER WILL BE PUSHED OUT ON
 SPEAKING TOUR
Another Desperate Move
 to Save the Party Is De-
 cided On--May Talk in : Several Big Cities
BY HENRY F. MIssELWITz

BY HENRY F. MISSEIWITZ United Press Staff Correspondent.
 Washington, Aug 19.-UP)- There was every indication to-day but nothing official-that Presi- dent Hoover has decided to deliver campaign speeches at New York and Boston. possibly in Chicago and St Louis.
 The president apparently docs not intend to go west of the Mis- sissippi valley, but, relies on the press and radio to carry his views to the rest of the country.
 The president originally intended to confine his public appearances to eastern cities. Party leaders believe New York city and Boston are particularly important in the election, for New York state IS the home of the democratic candi- date, Gov Roosevelt and Massa- chusetts went democratic in 1928.
 Persons close to the president to urgent requests by campaign leaders to 20 as far west as St Louis. The republican national committee has chosen Chicago as its headquarters, and the president is believed to have agreed to one speech there.
 Demands from the middle vest ern states have become insistent in the weeks since Mir Hoover's nonir ination at Chicago. Strengthening commodity prices, have helped the Hoover campaign chances. Farmers have urged, 1t was said that the president speak to them himself.
 The reaction to the presidents acceptance address also greatly en- couraged republican leaders.
 Until this reaction, the republi- can board of strategy headed by Postmaster General Walter Brown had planned to concentrate on its own list of speakers. Now there is a tendency to let the president carry more of the campaign load. The first of Mir Hoover's speech es probably will not be delivered until the latter part of September: It is believed probable he will open his speaking tour either at New York or Boston.
 The president has not. begun work on his speeches. He spent the first part of this week fishing down Chesapeake bay with .stag party" of close friends. He expected to go to his camp on the Rapidan river in Virginia after luncheon to-day.
 White House correspondents. press photographers. and newsreel men have been invited to visit the RapidAn retreat for luncheon Sat- urday with Mir Hoover if the weather is good.
