Icance of the straw votes and
newspaper polls pointing to Demo
-Cratic victory, they are, neverthe-
less, vastly perturbed.
: Moreover, they have become
sconvinced that Mr.. Hoover is his
Gown best salesman. Republican
cabinet and Congressional orators
have not been proving particu
-larly effective, and the cry Of
Ethe State leaders has been for the
president himself. e
= He has undertaken the assign
sRnent reluctantly, for it was his
announced intention at the out
cset of the campaign not to make
more than two or three major
4addresses throughout the cam
.paign.
= He has already made four, in
addition to campaigning across
The Middle West three times,
speaking to scores of rear-plat-
form crowds. Before November
s8 he probably will have made
"a dozen major addresses and
sinnumerable brief talks
Competes With Ritchie
At Indianapolis tomorrow
night, President Hoover will have
to share the political spotlight
with Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of
Maryland.
While Mr.. Hoover is speaking
at the field house of Butler Uni
Versity, on the outskirts of the
~city, Governor Ritchie will be ad-
Socating Roosevelt's election in a
s Tabernacle in the city proper.
:: The Republican and Democratic
organizations in the HooSier State
are planning rival torchlight pa
.Iades and demonstrations which
should furnish the voters with G-r
interesting show.
Republican complaints that the
Democrats were trying to steal
1.-THE show" from the President in
( Indianapolis met with the re-
sssponse that the engagement for
!. Governor Ritchie in the taber-
/, nacle was made before the White
House decision about Mr.. Hoover'S
' appearance.
The Presidents trip on Monday
/. Is to be an unusually strenuous
,v0ne. Leaving Washington in the
forenoon, he will stop for half an
.ahour in Baltimore; like time in
+ Philadelphia, an hour in Newark,
and then make what he considers
~ the most important speech of the
campaign" in Madison Square
Garden that night.
=: Philadelphia Long Ignored
Few Republican Presidents or
Republican presidential candidates
have considered it necessary to
tspeak in Philadelphia, which
squadrennially rolls up enormous
Republican majorities under the
expert direction of the Ware ma
chine.
= Yet this year the news from
Pennsylvania has been so per-
turbing to the Republican high
command that they felt it advis-
cable to have Mr.. Hoover make
personal appearance there.
z The President will speak in
philadelphia at Reyburn Plaza
Monday afternoon. He will be
introduced to his audience by none
other than William S. Ware, the
boss of the only organization
which can rival Tammany in its
grip on a large city.
e Ware Promises to Deliver
- Ware has been represented as
none too cordial in his regard for
the Administration since beirg de-
MED his seat in the Senate a few
years ago, but when the White
House sent Senator David A. Reed
to see him 10 days ago, the Phila-
>delphia boss sent back word that
s4the organization would -oll up
P'the usual majority for the
doover-Curtis ticket next month.
The usual majority" in Phila-
helphia runs from 100000 up
yard. A considerable part of
shat may be necessary to offset
