LOWDEN OKAYS HOOVER STAND Chicago, Aug. 14—(AP)—Former Goversot Frank O. Lowden of Il- Jinois, a farm relief champion, said #1 am much impressed By pare acceptance speech as a whole,” in a Statement issued through the west- ern headquarters office of the Re- publican national committee last night. i: Sohn Oglesby, a former lieutenant- governor of Illinois, and director of farm bureau of the Republican national committee, was authorized dy Mr. Lowden to make public his statement. < “With reference to agriculture, Hoover's frank recognition that the agricultural problem is the most urgent economic problem of our na- tion today is very heartening,” the statement said. ; “Hoover's aspirations to bring the farm population up to economic equality with other groups has my heartiest approval, I think, however, it will be found, practically, that his proposed stabilization corporation can only attain the object which he hopes to accomplish if the cost to the corporation of stabilizing the price of any commodity be redis- tributed over the commodity in- volved, and not taken from the pub- lic treasury.” STATE COLLECTS $2,700,704 TAX Property owned by express, sleep- ing car, telegraph and telephone companies in North Dakota has a tax valuation of $2,709,701, the state board of equalization has @ecided.

Indianapolis, Aug. 14.—(AP)—In- diana, former hotbed of the Ku Klux Klan, will go through the political campaign with religion, prohibition, corruption, and farm relief as the paramount issues. Religion has entered the situation without the sponsorship and against the wishes of both Republican and Democratic leaders, but there can be no evading it in this state, where the hooded order once boasted a member- ship of a half million. Republican leaders have cast the prohibition issue before the voters. They see in it a powerful weapon to use in this exceedingly dry state against Gov. Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic presidential candidate, while Democratic leaders have hurled corruption charges at both the state and national administra- fivhs of the last few years. The farm problem will be paraded by the farmers, who, regardless of their political connections, find them- selves pledged, nearly 100,000 strong, to vote for the presidential nominee who will assure them financial relief. These statements are summarized from conversations with farmers, Politicians, members or former members of the Ku Klux Klan, the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, labor- ers, church workers, storekeepers and others. Normally Republican, there have been so many cross-currents to date in Indiana that some politicians frankly confess themselves confused and hesitate at predicting the out- come. Men and women who have stayed away from the polls for years are expected to vote in No- vember. Leaders on both sides are counting on the heaviest women’s vote in history. Elza O. Rogers of Lebanon, re- publican state chairman, is author- ity for the statement that the wet and dry issue is the only one con- fronting Indiana. Herbert Hoover’s known dryness, he insists, will en- able him to carry Indiana. At the same time he believes Harry G. Leslie of West Lafayette will be elected Indiana's fourth consecutive republican governor and carry the remainder of the ticket with him. _Mr. Rogers does not discount the disturbing farm relief problem which the republican party must face, but he believes that by the time the voters are ready to go to the polls they will be satisfied by Mr. Hoover's plans for the future. R. Earl Peters of Fort Wayne, democratic state chairman, can see no other issue than that pertaining to alleged corruption by republican office holders. belief by Frank C.

In his early speeches Mr. Peters has point- ed to the oil scandals exposed in Washington, and to the indictment. of several Indiana republican lead- ers in the last two years. The Indiana Anti-Saloon League will inject itself more heartily than ever before into the campaign. Terming Governor Smith “a nullify- ing wet” and “a Tammanyite,” Dr. E. S. Shumaker, superintendent, says 100,000 families in Indiana will be urged through anti-saloon mate- rial not to vote for the New Yorker. Both major political parties have big jobs ahead in Indiana. The democrats must mollify a dry elec- torate over the stand taken on pro- hibition by Governor Smith and Na- tional Chairman Raskob. The first step in that direction was taken re- cently when the state committee and party candidates went on rec- ord as standing for strict enforce- ment of the eighteenth amendment. The Republicans, meanwhile, find themselves confronted with the task of solidifying an organization which cracked rather widely in some places during the presidential battle in the Indiana primary and at Kansas City between Mr. Hoover and Sen. James E. Watson. The wounds from those battles have healed on the surface, but there remains some doubt as to whether those who were for Hoover in the primary are entirely satisfied with the recognition—or lack of it— given a few weeks ago when the state committee organized for the fall campaign. It was noticeable that Watson men and women pre- | dominated, One United States senator will be elected in Indiana this fall. Senator Arthur R. Robinson of Indianapolis is the Republican candidate seeking reelection. Albert Stump of In- dianapolis is the Democratic nomi- nee. Robinson will have the sup- port of the anti-saloon league. Sup- pee by that organization he andily won the republican nomina- tion in the primary over two strong candidates. Stump is one of the dryest candidates on any ticket, but appears to have been unable to make any headway with the ahti- saloon league for its support. | you mever see, aid our 'Service to Officiency. ‘Gquipment! wee W.
