Washington, May 2-The size of the audience which listened to the "canned dog food" speech of Sena- ator L. J. Dickinson (Rep, Ia0, flNctuating as 1t did between a low point of one senator and @ high water mark of Ave senators, might be taken as an approximate mea- sure of the enthusiasm in Wash ington over the senator's candidacy for the presidency.
 Failure of the speech to make an effective issue, and certain as- poets of 1t which melted to laughter, provided an example of the sort of thing which confines the Dickinson support to tiny frag- ments of the republican party.
 Few who sat through the sena-
 tors long and dTeary keynote
 speech at the Chicago convention
 four years ago have ever quite
 forgiven him. It is at least ten- able theory that Dlckinson's as-
 pIrati0ns for the presidency were
 settled then and there.
 But Hell Roaring Dick" as he is called, had Q secret conference with Herbert Hoover a few weeks ago and all who talked with him thereafter noticed new gleam in his eye. They gathered the dis tinct impression that, second only to MT. Hoover, Senator Dickinson was MT. Hoover's candidate for the republican nomination.

If I'm not mis- taken covered bridge in the eastern part of the state was saved destruction last year through the efforts of this group It still spans the Salmon river but not used by vehicular traffic modern structure short distance away being in Up at Cornwall Hol- ow the same thing happened too when the state built That great span the Housatonc that the state :sef this time did the preserving.

Bobbled by Committee

When Dickinson rose to tell the world that 20,000,000 cans of dog food were being consumed by human beings, everyone felt that this was his first big blast in 8 plunge for the presidency.
 Publicity sheets from western headquarters of the republican national committee were distrib- uted in advance with text of the speech and description" of its de- livery.
 This said 1t was a "sensatlOn- ar' speech, told how Dickinson emphasized certain points with studied dcliberatl0n," and de- cIared he had exhibited cans of dog food Co the Senate.
 As . matter of fact, Dickinson displayed no dog food and had to explain that he had it In his 0f- flee. All this was another exam plc of the Republican national committees fOoxIed publicity, which is rapidly becoming mo- tOrl0us - causing the Strateglsts behind the Governor Landon can. didacy to tear their hair.
 It gave newspaper correspondents a chance to write funny stories and Democratic senators chance to take 0 lot of the edge of the Dick inson speech.
