Charles Hanson Towne, a New York editor, is to serve as vice chairman, with Melvin D, Hildreth, who acted as secretary of the Wilson In- dependent League of North Da- kota in 1916, as executive di- rector. The league plans to establish headquarters in the middle west by September 1. Washington, July 23—(AP)—A special attempt to line up the Re- publican agricultural and indepen- dent votes for Governor Smith has been launched here with formation of the Smith Independent league. Announcing the league organi tion Sunday, Henry Clay Hans- brough, former Republican senator from North Dakota,said he consid- ered the election of the Democratic candidate “imperative if agriculture is to be saved from a state of peas- antry.” While national in scope, the league plans to concentrate especially in Montana, North and South Dakota and Minnesota. Assisting Hans- brough will be Charles Hanson Towne, New York editor. as vice- chairman; and Melvin D. Hildreth, secretary of the Wilson Independent. league of North Dakota in 1916 as executive director. Preliminary organization of the league is now being conducted here, but the working headquarters is slated to be established in the middlewest by September 1. Farm Plight Recognized “Because there is no partisanshi| in patriotism,” Hansborough said in a statement, “I consider it my duty to support the one candidate who regards the farmers of this country as men and not as peasants, for eight years the farmers have been faithful to the party which has been faithless to them.

Plans are now in the hands of the engineers, but it is not expected that construction on the North Dakota that or the other debatable question is or is not the principal issue in this campaign, leaves the lent elector cold but not confounded.

Consideration of the long view is vital to any pro- gram.” To Call Conference “However, Governor Smith, the experienced executive, proposes, should he be elected, to immediately call a conference consisting of farm leaders and expert economists, with ly in December.

SMITH ANXIOUS TO SPEAK ONCE IN NORTHWEST Backers Urge Al to Pack Cam- paign Punch During Cli- matic Last Weeks Albany, N. Y., July 23.—(/7)—Gov- ernor Smith is being urged by some of his political advisers to pack the punch of his presidential campaign into the eight weeks preceding the election. In this way, they figure, he can best build up to a climax just before the voting early in Novem- ber. As far as the. Democratie‘nomine® himself, he has reached no decision when he should take to the road, where he should gb, or how many speeches he should deliver. He is revolving in his mind the varied bits of advice that come from lieuten- including those who, think he take to the stump by Labor jay at the latest, and it probably will be a month or more before his speech making plans are disclosed. Has New Ideas Although there is a plan on foot to have him speak at a monster out- door rally in Chicago during the campaign, and there undoubtedly will be other occasions for open air appearances, Smith will _ insist, wherever possible, on speaking in- doors, chiefly to conserve his voice. He never has done much campaign- ing. from the rear of his train, as he believes this method ineffective, con- sidering the physical exertion, al- though he intends while traveling during the coming campaign to ap- pear at all station stops for informal greetings with the public. Until after his notification the of August 19, the Democratic presidential nominee will do no cam- paigning. A few days after his ac- ceptance speech here, he plans to at- tend a Democratic rally at Seagirt, N. J., and undoubtedly will make a short address. The governor has been invited to| ga. attend the Ohio Democratic state convention late in August, as John W.

Such inquiry, the premier stressed, “will naturaly be made in Italy and by Italian personalities. Any other hypothesis is absurd and offensive and whatever it might be or wherever the proposition came from, it would immediately be re- jected. Meanwhile it should be recorded, he said that the first to see the be- leaguered group was Major Madda- lena, the Italian flyer who went north wiht a Savoia-Marchetti ma- chine. The premier added that the coun- cil of ministers would be interpret- ing the sentiments of the Italian people in thanking all those con- tributing to the rescue operatio1 especially the crew of the Russi: ice cutter Krassin an in_ paying homage to the memories of Dr. Finn Malmgren, Swedish meteorologist, a Vincenzo Pomela, motor attend- ant. Pays Honor to Flyers The premier then paid tribute to the brilliant flight of Férrarin and Del Prete from Italy to South America as “having exalted the na- tion’s righteous pride.” Reviewing the foreign situation, he noted the cessation of diplomatic tension with Austria and the re- sumption of normal relations be- tween the two countries, the signing of a commercial treaty with Hun- gary, Italy’s adhesion to the Kel- logg pact, the conclusion and initial- ing of the Tangier agreement, the signing of an accord with Persia and the initiation of conversations: with China’s Nanking government fol- lowing denunciation of the old treaty.

Fuller, father of John Fuller, one of the geologists, following receipt of a letter dated July 6 from his son at Brochet, Canada, in which he said they were leaving Brochet July 7, in good condi- tion and with good equipment, over a changed route. Dr. Fuller took the letter to indicate there was an error in a report from Regina that J. M. Cumines, manager of the Hud- son's Bay company post at Brocket, C: la, had found that the geologists were poorly equipped and had inadequate food when he met them three weeks ago. Keokuk, Iowa, July 23.—(AP)— Anxious relatives of four University of Iowa student geologists pushed forward plans for a relief expedition into the Hudson Bay region of Can- ada today following a report from eee Sagk., that the party was lost. . The students, who started from Towa City, May 29, planned a three month trip in two 17 foot canoes from Winnipeg to a tiny inlet in Hudson Bay, the round trip to cover about 3,250 miles. The leader, John Fuller, 21, of Keokuk, is a ju ior in the college of medicine. Max J. Kane, 22, of Iowa City, law c lege sophomore; Gordon C. Arm- strong, 20, of Britt, engineering col- lege junior; and Peder C. Boddum, 24, of Crystal Lake, liberal arts col- lege junior, were his companions. J. M. Cumines, manager of the Hudvon’s Bay company at Brochet, Man., reported he had met the quar- tet three weeks ago and urged them to turn back because, he said, they had little food, poor clothing and damaged equipment. Dr. Frank Fuller, father of the leader of the expedition, said he had not expected to hi from the boys for two months. ‘e had a letter, June 29, mailed from the Pas, Can- ada, in which the boys said they were well and happy. They were parking northward and hoped to reach Reindeer Lake on their sched- uled time.” He said he would await confirm: tion of the reports the boys wer {named Tailwind, who had sped with The Weather Mostly fair tonight and Tuesday.

He expressed confidence that carry New York Hoover would state. “Thousands of persons who have voted for Smith for governor,” he said, “will 1.0t vote for him for President I have been told.” The senator expressed the belief that selection of John J. Raskob as Democratic national chairman would not attract any considerable busi- ness vote to Governor Smith. “The selection of Mr. Raskob,” he said, “has produced mixed emotions in the Democratic camp and, when the resultant mixture has clarified and precipitated, the chances are that the residue will not be as sweet as the Democrats now think.
