THE PRESIDENT TALKS

THERE is little doubt that thousands
of Iowa farmers, and millions in 9TH
er parts of the country, have a new con-
ceptlon today of the difficulties through
which this country is passing at present
and of the efforts that have been made
and are being made by the administra-
ton to solve them.
The new information is the result of
the address given last night in Des
Moines by President Hoover.
His address was filled with solid
facts, not with hearsay, with vague
promises or with evasive generalities. 1t
was the talk of a man who has been in
the center of things, who knows through
bitter experience how near this country
came to complete collapse and who also
knows that, although the gravest crisis
of the period has been passed, there is
much to be done before normalcy is
reached again.
There was an appeal for support, but
it was not the vote-catching appeal made
by the professional politician or the am
bilious office-seeker. 1t came in the
course of an accounting of the Presi-
dents stewardship, in conjunction with
the admission that what has already
been accomplished could not have been
oolO WllLOdl Tic SQppO1l VI Tic pCOPIC
of this country, and the appeal was for
a continuation of this support
Due credit was given to those Demo-
Gratis who have helped the administra-
ton in its efforts to solve the nations
problems and Mr.. Hoover did not hesitate
to speak plainly about other Democrats
who sought to hinder instead of assist
and who did not hesitate to play politics
while the security of the country was in
grave danger.
1t was the honest speech of a man
who could remember the trials and trib-
ulations of farm life in Iowa as a boy,
and who sympathiZed with similar trou-
bles which afflict the farmer today-in
Iowa and elsewhere. Nor is his interest
limited to sympathy He enumerated
the measures that have already been
taken to assist the farmer and promised
a higher tariff to afford them the pro-
lection their markets need.
There is bound to be a favorable re-
action toward Hoover and the Repub-
lican campaign as result of the speech.
Any who expected an outbreak against
Hoover because of Iowa's farm strike,
were doomed to disappointment His
appearance was greeted with cheers and
his address was frequently interrupted
by applause. If there was any DISPOSE
ton to make things unpleasant for him
it was dissipated before the wave of en-
thusiasm with which his own people
greeted him. 1t is to the credit of the
people of Iowa that they refused to be
stampeded by disgruntled ones and eX-
tended every courtesy and consideration
due the dignity of the President of the
United States.
"Many who came to scott remained to
pray, in Iowa, and in millions of homes
throughout the country.
Republican leaders should take heart
from the results of the Presidents ad-

THE FALL OPENING

IL CENTRO'S fall opening, which has
II been an annual affair here for sever
al years, is scheduled for Friday and
Saturday nights of this week, with the
merchants of the city and the chamber
OF commerce cooperating to make the oc-
caSlon notable one.
The purpose of the fall opening is to
give the people of the city an opportun
lty to inspect the new stocks which have
been purchased by the merchants and to
form their plans regarding purchases
they may wish to make.
On Friday night, although all the
stores in the business section will be on
en-, no sales will be made. Merchants
will act as hosts to the public, showing
their wares and giving prospective buy
ers full information.
The fall opening comes in line with
the "buy at home" doctrine which has
been preached to the American peopfe
Tor years. 1t is a sound doctrine and is
particularly applicable to Ell Centric.
Our merchants are in business here
the year round. They pay local taxes.
support local institutions and are our
friends and neighbors. They have as
much interest in Ell Centre and its prog
ress as any individual may have. In
!act tney nave more interest than MANY
individuals, for they have invested their
money here and have definitely cast
their lot with the fortunes of this city.
The fall opening gives the people of
FL Centric the opportunity to see con-
vlncing proof that they can buy just as
we'll in Ell Centre as they can elsewhere.
They will find merchandise of high quail
ity at moderate prices, which compare
favorably with prices in other places,
and where if credit is necessary it is ex-
tended to those who merit it.
Nor will the social side of the fall op-
ening be neglected. A parade of Fl
Centro's various industries on Fri
day night, street dancing, concerts
and a general carnival spirit will pre-
vail. 1t is the one big night of the year
in Ell Centro's business section and it
merits the support of all.

BY the Associated Press.


EASTERN POINT, Conn, Septem-
Der Gov. Wilbur L. Cross executive
secretary took personal control of a
turbulent session Of the Democratic
State Convention late yesterday, guild
fore he permitted the Governors re-
nomination.
Representative Augustine Lonergan
defeated Prof. Harry Morgan Ayres Of
Columbia University for the senatorial
nomination and william NJ Citron was
chosen nominee for Representative at
large before deadlock was threatened
over the lieutenant governorship.
Meanwhile the convention adopted
without debate a platform urging repeal
Of the eighteenth amendment and
modification of the Volstead act. The
Republican State Convention went on
record wednesday for repeal and modi-
flcation.
The convention was orderly until
nominations for Governor were called
for. Then Kenneth Wynne, secretary
to the 70-year-old chief executive, asked
that nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor be made first.
Col. Thomas Hewes, member Of the
Governors staff and a Hartford attor-
ney, was nominated in a riotous dem
onStratton. This completed, Gov.
Cross name was proposed for renomi-
nation. The delegates cheered wildly
as they adopted the motion by a rising
vote.
DR.. Cross, who entered politics two
years ago, after his retirement as dean
of the Yale Graduate School. accepted
in a speech reviewing his administra-
ton.
Lonergan was chosen over Ayres By
a vote Of 481 to 372.

world heavyweight boxing champion,
who had been frequently mentioned as
a possible candidate for Representative

Predicts, Minor Offices Will

NEW YORK, September "a 90
600 majority for President Hoover in
Maine was predicted by former Repre-
sentative James MacLafferty of Cali
fornia, as he returned from speaking
tour of that State last night.
He also told leaders at Eastern Re-
publican headquarters that all the
party's candidates for Congress are
certain of election next week.
II have never seen so much interest
In a political campaign in Maine" he
said in his report to the Speakers
Bureau
Maine will go Republican this year,
there is not the slightest doubt .
I look for a majority Of over 10000 and
would not be surprised if Mr.. Hoover's
majority were in excess of 10000"
In 1928 Mr.. Hoover carried the State
by $4,000 more votes than "Al' Smith
received. In 1924 Calvin Coolidge
polled $4,000 more votes than John w.
Davis.
Other visitors to Eastern headquarters

that the Republicans would have to do
"a lot of work" in his State, but that
he was hopeful of the result"

Press.
Battle lines for the presidential cam
paign still are far from complete, but
the present week has produced signs
that the Republicans are turning their
faces a little more definitely toward the
East, while the Democrats incline lit
tie more surely toward the West.
OF course. neither side has at all
abandoned hope or endeavor in either
East or West, but the present phases of
the struggle, considered alone, show
three interesting developments:
Former President Coolidge, rallying
support for the Republicans, put spe-
cial emphasis on his appeal to his own
industrial East.
The Democratic troubles in New York
City have intensified Republican effort
to capture the Empire State.
Long Tour of Nation.
Gov. Roosevelt's plans for his first
long speaking trip, beginning Monday,
forecast a Western swing unequaled by
any Democratic nominee since William
Jennings Bryan.
For the moment the most talked Of
OF these developments probably is the
Coolidge appeal, though 1t was by no
means a surprise. In copyrighted ar
ticle In the Saturday Evening Post Mr.
Coolidge has gone the whole way of in
dorsing Mr.. Hoover's act collectively
and in detail, of praising Vice President
Curtis and of upholding the Republican
prohibition plank.
Mr.. Coolidges pronouncement - so
much hoped for by Hoover leaders be-
cause Of the former Presidents tradi-
tional popularity-is reckoned by the
politicians as the first high trump to be
played since the conventions. There
seems good reasons for believing that
Al Smith is considering the production
Of Democratic trump by statement
more directly defining his support Of
his party ticket. Smiths full inten-

tions, however, remain much beclouded
In the dust-bank of New York Demo-
cratic politics, stirred up by the Roose-
velt-Walker incident.
G. o. p. Hearts Warmed.
The words from Northampton warmed
Republican hearts to a degree where

list publicly some Of the States they ex-
pect to carry. They began with New

tiers in that section results partly from
the reopening of some textile mills there
and partly from the embarrassment of
the Democrats over the Smith domina-
ton In such important States as Massa-
chusetts
Gov. Roosevelt's workers are not say
ing great deal about New England
just now, looking first to the South
and West, plus New York and New
Jersey, which they still insist they are
sure to carry. That the Governor him
self has not abandoned hope in the
Northeast is attested by his swing this
week into always Republican Vermont
where he made some impromptu re-
marks and announced that Democratic
polls showed great defections from Re
publican ranks everywhere. Republican
insiders do. not deny these defections
as Of the present time, but they say
the tide is turning appreciably.
Both parties will closely examine the
returns from next Mondays election in
Maine, but neither side is likely to
consider the figures really conclusive.
Only State officials are to be elected
Maine Is in an extreme corner Of the
country, having little in common, even
with some of her nearby sister States
Besides, the State is Overwhelmingly
Republican, and whatever barometric
value it has will be figured, not on
who is elected, but on the size of the
majority as compared to other years.
1t will be on this basis that the poll
ticians weight the evidence whatever
they may say afterward for publication.
