SMITH LASHES DRYS AS RIVAL GOES TO WEST No Statements from Republican Candidate Until Notification and Full Launching of Campaign. FORD AND HOOVER Border States and Industrial Centres to See Most Strenuous Efforts of Both Parties. (Paris Times Radio) NEW YORK, Sunday.—The Hoover campaign has gone West with its candidate, and the board of strategy is concerned with keeping Mr. Hoover in the part of “Silent Herb” until the Notification in California and the nation-wide radio hook-ups. Mr. Smith, who needs no prompters or blue-pencilers, is

White, Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Ohio, as “a parasite camouflaged as a reformer.” Ford for Hoover. Support of Mr. Hoover by Mr. Henry Ford, foreseen because of a statement made by the motor magnate two months ago, became official yesterday with the announcement that he is serving as Vice-Chairman of the Engineers’ Committee for Hoover. This campaign, therefore, besides being an alcoholic and religious dispute, has the side-show feature of
an alcoholic and religious dispute, has the side-show feature of a merry war between the two largest motor corporations in the world, Ford and General Motors, the Vice-President and directing genius of the latter being the new Democratic National Chairman, Mr. John J. Raskob. With his new Democratic affiliations made orthodox by resignation from the Union League Club, Mr. Raskob has begun to show the Democratic Party something new in National Chairmen. Already the Smith organization, always strong in tactics, is acquiring solidity as well. Canvassing has begun in all States to determine the best method of local attack, this
States to determine the best method of local attack, this without interfering with the general plan to bring the heaviest guns to bear upon the States with large industrial centres and large blocks of votes in the Electoral college. The threatened bolt of Democracy in Texas, while considered, is not causing undue concern, for it is felt that habit will still influence the majority of Texan Democrats to vote against Abraham Lincoln. The favorable attitude of the Indiana Farm Federation Bureau towards Governor Smith is duly appreciated at Democratic Headquarters, although too much stress is not laid upon the chances
although too much stress is not laid upon the chances of capturing the “farmer vote.” Both parties have decided that the Southern border States of Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri form a critical battleground, and a spirited contest is to be waged there. Governor Smith will appear in person, and it is possible that Mr. Hoover, too, may make a personal appearance. A letter written by Mr. Raskob has been published, calling for the modification of the Volstead Act to permit the consumption of alcoholic beverages on residential premises.

PROBABLY LEADER WAS A DEMOCRAT PROVIDENCE (Rhode Island).—A new record in tactlessness has been set by the bandmaster of the 101 Ranch Circus which has been playing here. Senator Charles Curtis, Republican nominee for Vice-President, has been visiting relatives here and attended the circus with members of his family. A police inspector told the bandmaster that Senator Curtis was about to enter the “big top” and he asked him to play some appropriate air.

This will take place somewhat later than at first expected, possibly during October. It becomes more and more certain, furthermore, that, as previously indicated, the pact will be signed in Paris and not in Washington. As for the personal appearance of Mr. Kellogg in Paris, this has not been affirmed, but neither has it been denied. “BIG BILL” THOMPSON CHICAGO, Sunday.—“Big Bill” Thompson, Mayor of Chicago, is confined to his bed for

The regular army is to be divided into divisions stationed at convenient provincial capitals, thus preserving the federative nature of the Nationalist Government. The Kuomintang Congress is expected to begin its work by proclaiming, on the basis of this agreement between the marshals, that the “military stage” of the Chinese Revolution as planned by Sun Yatsen is now at an end and that the stage

VIENNA, Sunday. — Thought of the Anschluss has been revived by the Festival of the German singers, which will be held here beginning next Tuesday. Chancellor Muller and Mgr. Seipel have issued proclamations in which a special significance is given to an event which will bring 200,000 people from Germany to Austria. “The best evidence to be sung,” says the Austrian Chancellor, “is the fact of the meeting which attests the strong unity of the German people, based on a
the strong unity of the German people, based on a common culture and upon the existence of an ideal which political frontiers can never disturb. That is the significance of the festival from the point of view of foreign affairs.” Political groups and others which intended to protest against high rents have been forbidden to hold any manifestation during the festival. TO DINE IN A GARDEN to the strains of an excellent orchestra is the ideal at this season. This ideal is realized at the Ritz, where the cuisine remains beyond compare. — (Announcement) EXPLOSION IN GERMANY Four Dead And

STEEL DUTY SOUGHT Threat of Direct Action May Be Forthcoming If Mr. Baldwin Does Not Accede. (Paris Times Spécial) LONDON. Sunday.—There is a possibility that a storm which has been brewing in the ranks of the Conservative Party for more than a year may break this week. A constantly increasing faction of the party is demanding again the safeguarding of certain industries, of steel and iron in particular.

wishes to be received by the Prime Minister. While it is not officially announced what action the “rebel” Conservatives are prepared to take if the interview is not granted, it is known that they feel strongly in the matter. A vote against the Government is not outside the bounds of possibility. From the large number of Members of Parliament involved such a step might mean the defeat of the Cabinet.

It is for Mr. Baldwin to decide whether he will receive the delegation and, if he receives it, whether he will accede to its demands or reiterate the plea that the question should be left until the general election. In Liberal quarters it is asserted that 210 Conservatives support the delegation. The delegation consists of Sir Henry Page Croft, five members of the Empire Industries Association, and five Members of the House of Commons. When Mr. Baldwin took power, he made a compromise which included a pledge to restrict safeguarding and protection. So far he has not been

Whether the possibility of his losing power may make him change his mind is yet to be seen. If he suggests again that the question should be deferred until the general election, it is certain that the delegation will not be satisfied. The faction demands immediate safeguarding of steel and iron, that unemployment may be reduced before the election. If the Government should be defeated on this point, it would make the issue of the general election one of Protection.

It remains to be seen whether the Prime Minister will steer clear of the difficulties as cleverly as he has done during his several years of office or whether he will accept the challenge and go to the country with a clean bill of “no safeguarding.” Mexico Declines American Warship To Carry Dead “Good-Will Aviator” Body of Captain Carranza Will Go To Mexico City By Train On Wednesday.
