Tonight he will deliver a speech on farm relief, the first for- mal address in his presidential cam- polgn since the notification August at Albany. Cheers of “Hello, Al!” and “Wel- come, Al!” went up from the crowd as it followed the nominee from the station waiting room to the long line of cars waiting for the parade up- town. The governor had completed an outline of the speech he will make tonight, in which he is expected make an appeal not only to the a; cultural workers in the immed: vicinity but to those of the entire} midwest area.

HOOVER FAVORS FULL TIME JOB FOR EVERYBODY 20,000 Marchers Wildly Ac- claim Nominee as He Gives Newark Speech Herbert Hoover today had his sec ond taste of campaigning in the east. With a schedule that called for stops in many of the towns in terri- tory that has been claimed by his Democratic opponent, the Republican nominee, after a whirlwind tour through the suburbs of Newatk and a speech in this city, spent the night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Edison in Llewellyn park, West Orange. Before and after a luncheon which United States Senator Walter E. Edge had arranged in this city for Republican ieaders of the state, Hoover's schedule today called for his appearance in a dozen or more suburban communities between Hackensack and the state capitol at Trenton. He returns to Washington from Trenton by train. At Jersey City, the home of Mayor Frank Hague, one of the vice chairmen of the Democratic national committee, the candidate was billed for a stop of 15 minutes. The Republican nominee’s first day of eastern campaigning came to a. close in this city last night. After a half-day through cheering suburbs —Montclair, Bloomfield, Verona, Caldwell (where Grover Cleveland was born)—the candidate rode at the head of a great Jersey proces- sion to the armory of the 113th regiment, where he received wild acclaim. There the Republican nominee de- clared himself in favor of the ideals of labor; of a full-time job for every person willing to work. He criticized the Democratic stand on the tariff and immigration questions as pos- ible handicaps in the attainment of this ideal, and told of the various steps taken by the Republican party in the last seven and a half years in that direction. Senator Edge and Representative Franklin Fort of East Orange, who is secretary of the Republican na- tional committee, said they were amazed at the reception which Mr. Hoover has eived in the suburbs. Leaders claimed there were 20,000 marchers in last night’s parade, and that half of them had come from the southern part of the state.

Ward in Bismarck LOCK PEOPLE IN Three States Being Scoured Today by Posses as Clues Are Lacking VAULT Four unmasked men robbed the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Beach of $5,000 at 2:45 p.m. yes- terday. A report that the men escaped in an automobile which was stolen in Bismarck Sunday is being investi- fe by Mandan and Bismarck po- ice. to have jedan, with a U.S. jax tire on the left and right rear wheels, re- spectively. The car stolen in Bismarck Sunday was a 1926 green Buick Master Six sedan, with Seiberling tires. stolen here from manager of the Capital steam laun- dry. Police officials believe that tires on the automobile may have been changed by the robbers, if they used the car stolen in Bismarck, be- fore they committed the robbery. Search for the bandits today ex- tended to the northern part of South Dakota, eastern Montana, and south- ern North Dakota. Several posses from Beach combed the territory in southern North Dakota and northern South Dakota, but could find no trace of the bandits. No traces were found in eastern Montana. One group of men which had been working over the territory in west- ern South Dakota returned to Beach late last night. While the men were combing the country in the vicinity of Beach, police inspectors and county officials were’ tarefully in- specting the bank for possible clues.

One of the men, without attracting any at- tention from the workers at the bank, had walked around the stenog- rapher’s desk and was standing di- rectly back of the counter, able to keep an eye on all workers in the bank. Another had wandered into |the office of W. J. Tobin, receiver of the closed First National bank. Tobin and his stenographer were likewise looking down the barrel of a blunt-nosed automatic. The third man was leaning leisurely against a ig near the front of the bank, looking all the world like a super- visor of a crew of workers. While the three men were inside the bank, a fourth sat in the driver's seat of the Buick, keeping the motor run- ning. The men worked slowly and quietly at first, but after the first order of the short man they got into action. Stepping around the corner of the counter, the man in the front part of the bank scooped up all the avail- able cash and stuffed it into a little black bag. The man in the back part of the building marched his two prisoners to the front, and the third robber kept a gun on stenographers and on cashier. arl O. Halvorson, cashier. of the institution, moved a little bit too slow, and a bullet crashed into the woodwork, less than two feet from his head. Halvorson got down on the floor.
