NOMINEES QUIT HEADQUARTERS FIRST OF WEEK Hoover Will Start Almost Within Hail of Sidewalks of New York SMITH TO. COME WEST Both Candidates Will Step Into Unaccustomed Roles This Week By BYRON PRICE (Associated Press Staff Writer) Chicago, Sept. 15.—)—East and west now share the spotlight of presidential politics as the two nom- inees make ready to quit their head- quarters and carry their campaigns to the country. For both Smith and Hoover the Present week has been one of prep- aration for a venture on none-too- familiar ground. Choosing to begin his real campaigning almost within hail of the sidewalks of New York, Hoover will speak Monday at New- ark and swing round the circle of other nearby New Jersey cities. On Tuesday Smith will begin a western swing with a speech at Omi on the border-line of his riv: tive Iowa, Unaccustomed Roles Both will be stepping into unac- tustomed roles. Hoover's automobile circuit through north Jersey will give him his first opportunity at catch-as-catch-can campaigning in the populous section about the me- tropolis, while Smith is’ stumping among western voters with whom he has had no great contact. Hoover's week at Washington has been given over largely to confer- ences with his friends and support- ers. “One” of ‘those with whom he Ge longest was President Cool- Ine. Smith, also receiving advice at Al- bany from many quarters, took time to scotch “a lie in the whispering campaign.” In direct and dramatic fashion he furnished the country with decumentary evidence that there was no truth in a privately circulated story that he had been intoxicated at the Syracuse fair. It was his first open thrust at “whispering,” a sub. ject about which many of his Demo- cratic colleagues have been talking for weeks. Ass The governor's most... unusual statement was the second extraor- dinary contribution within the week to the literature of the campaign of 1928. The first was a public pro- nouncement by Republican Chairman. Work, saying that no self-respecting party headquarters would, counte- nance the sort of personal attacks that have been made covertly against both candidates. Further realignments have taken Place in the west, where Smith pre- sumably is to make his supreme bid for the farm vote during»the remain- ing days of September. In. the state where he will deliver his first speech the Nebraska Federation of Labor has voted him “100 per cent the friend of labor.” In the same state Mark Woods, a leader in’ the effort to atop Hoover at Kansas City, has come down from the fence on Hoo- ver's side, while to the north the Democratic juncture with the Non- partisan wing of the Republican me, of North Dakota seems to ave been promoted by the decision of Governor Maddock, who was chairman of the state’s delegation to the Republican national convention, to run for reelection as a democrat. Swing to Smith _Meantime in Minnesota public discussion of a swing to Smith con- tinues, whether it has the votes be- hind it or not, and in Republican Iowa surprising rumors haye reached Republican state officials; “and they 2. —— ner eo are | Hf Weather Report Peneeretore at 7a. jighest renee > 46 A e hooosoo eo 46 46 45 50 48 ne aa: BS err saess e8e ZooeLECS st Conant, Ah, ha, red-blooded romance is not yet dead! being flung about by irate champions reasons for two recent ones.

Here, Ki begins the story of Philad BY JAMES P. KIRBY Philadelphia, Sept. 15.—The “City of Brotherly Love” is such no longer. The city of the traditional mild-mannered Quaker, like others in the front rank in America, today is engaged in a desperate struggle to rid itself of the festering sore of racketeering. Twenty gang murders, some of them exceptionally brutal, were com- mitted during the past year. Money tall or guns barked, racketeers collected t! aie toes ite, mostly from. Philadelphia’ estimated to number 18,000. * *, Machine guns roared their leaden hail into those who crossed the rack- eteers’ path; other guns equipped with silencers spat noiseless death GRAIN LIVESTOCK Market Reflects Higher Liver- pocl Quotations and Grain Storing Chicago, Sept. 15.—A)—Surpris- ing strength of wheat prices at Liv- erpool did much today te lift wheat values here, and s0, too, did asser- tions that the Chica; been seriously oversold by adventur- ous speculators, who appeared to have overreached themselves count- newly harvested wheat northwest. Another bullish factor as to all. grain was aggressive buying in the corn market. With corn shorts in a flurry to extricate themselves from danger of an end-of-the-month pinch, September delivery of the corn fin- ished at the day's tiptop point, $1.03% a bushel. - Wheat closed firm %e to lc net higher, corn showing ‘4c te 3%c ad- vance, oats 4c to ‘4c up, and pro- visions varying from 6c decline to a rise of 20c. An outstanding feature of wheat trading today was the relat! scantiness of offerin, liveries. Speculators kept a eye on receipts northwes' would-be sellers displayed unt cautiofi after noting that today’s re- ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth to- taled but 1,359 cars, against 1,705 cars a year ago. This taken as movement to holp supplies back from from secret places; leading gangsters wore bullet proof vests for protec- tion. Ten million dollars a year is the estit made by loyal Philadelph- the amount the racket ex- rough the amazing system of corruption and collusion permitting its existence. ~ Grand Jury Probe Under Way Into this picture of terrorism and graft walked District Attorney John Monaghan a few weeks ago—keen- eyed, iron-jawed and resolute prose- cutor, utterly fearless and determ- ined to smash “the system.” The i "8 grand jury in- e means bu: come. As one observes the operations of the racketee: Chicago, St. Louis, Detfoit, Cleveland and other ty pleat American cities and finds the slimy trail of the Chicago operators, “80 alse in Philadelphia does one en- counter the relationship betwen those forces and the local under- lace-Al” Capone, the ruler s racketeers, is the friend and adviser of Max “Boo Boo” Hoff, the prize fight hens who is the overlord 1 *hiladelphia’s under- world. Capone has -visited Hoff on nu- merous occasions, -it has been de- veloped by District Attorney Mona- ghan. Nor were Capone's visits merely social calls. The astounding business methods which have made Capone the ruler of all he surveys in Chicago were quickly adopted by Hoff and his as- sociates in the racket here, The de- gree of efficiency with which it roeked almost excites one’s admira- tion. As in Chicago, the booze racket in Philadelphia is organized down to the detail. - Big business showed the way when it established arbitration as a means of settling disputes, and organized crime quickly adopted such methods to its pur- poses. Underworld Has Arbitrator In the booze racket in Philadelphia today there exists an arbitrator (and it is believed by Monaghan that he was appointed by Hoff) whose duty it is to iron out disputes over terri tory, prices, saloons, speakea: and even the personnel. And the ar- bitrator’s decisions are final. The holding company, the device of big business used,for the purpose of more effectually handling (and frequently of concealing) certain transactions not deemed suitable to the public gaze, is another device adopted by the racket. Securely locked in the vaults of the district attorney's office are the books and records, the corpora- terminal markets. Meanwhile, corn values today showed a notable advancing trend at times. Previous sellers Sep- tember deliveries of corn cere active. Buyers and house wsith foreign connections were also brisk bidders. Under such circumstances Septem- ber corn soon climbed to $1.02% a bushel, the best figure reached since June 29 last. Later months sympa- thized with the action of September, in which unsettled contracts are still of great volume.

Pit offerings were moderate, with only light scattered hedging pressure in evidence and a little mill buying as an offset. Week-end short cover- ing was in evidence in all markets. Oats were firm to strong with corn, closing with small gains. Bar- ley futures reacted after ‘a higher start, with trade quiet. Rye futures were strong and higher with wheat. Flaxseed futures were quigt and closed unchanged. Cash wheat continued in spotted demand, and the market was easy to 1c lower in spots. Some called the average quality springs steady.

Corn buyers hung back on account of the sharp bulge in September, and demand was quiet. Few sales re- ported were at steady prices, Oats were steady, with quiet to fair demand.
