HOOVER HEARS JERSEY HISSES Herb Is Well Satisfied With Receptions Accorded Him in Industrial East ington, Sept. 19.—(#)—Well tied with the reception accorded the industrial east, Herbert Hoover today turned his attention to a study of recent developments in Texas.

Du ing that time the candi- date was whirled through more than pared speech, ancther extemporane- speech, another extemporane- ous one, and spoke briefly at almost half a dozen other times in Newa: Paterson, Jersey City, Trenton, elsewhere. At Jersey City, where he came to the very border of the home town of his Democratic opponent, Gov- ernor Alfred E. Smith, the Republi- can candidate heard hisses when the man introducing him referred to the 10 sign, inked the crowd for its kind reception, leaving the hall in the midst of hearty applause. — On October 6 he will go to Eliza- bethton, Tenn., to deliver the second address of the four he plans to make in the east and south, Wi used by Mr. Tribun po bo Mrs. Al Rosen was the lucky one Tuesday to get Mr. Tribune.

Declares President Can Only Assume Leadership ‘in Liquor Question Omaha, Neb. Sept. 19.—()— With a flat declaration that he fa- vors the “principle” embodied in the twice vetoed McNary - Haugen bill as a working basis for adequate farm relief legislation and that he did not consider liquor “the great issue” in the present he Governor Smith has opened his drive for the presidency in the west. In an auditorium crowded to the doors and as millions listened in throughout the nation over the radio, the Democratic presidential nominee, in his first campai speech in the heart of the corn be! last night tore into the Republican party for what he termed its failure to keep faith with the farmer, in- cluding by name his opponent, Her- bert Hoover, and President Coolidge in_his indictment. His own solution, he said, and one on which he and the Democratic platform stand squarely, was the principle laid down in the McNary- Haugen bill to “establish an effee- tive control of the sale of export- able surplus with the cost imposed upon the commodity benefited.” He added, however, that he did not “limit” himself to the “exact mechanics and method embodied in that bill” and proposed, if elected, immediately to name a nonpartisan commission to work out the details of the problem. The equalization fee was not mentioned. Answers. 10. Questions ~- The nominee's references to pro- hibition came at the end of his hour address, which was delivered for the most part extemporaneously with the aid at times of a previous- ly prepared: manuscript, when he answered a series of eight questions propounded to him in a full-page advertisement in the morning news- ‘papers by ten Nebraskans whe styled themselves “citizens of both parties.” Smith adherents classi- fied all of them as Republicans. In his replies, he declared in sub- Stance that the president can dc nothing about liquor, except to make recommendations to congress and assume a leadership on the question, and further that he would not at- tempt to perenne any Democratic member of congress to go against his constituents if they wanted pro- hibition. “Various people have attempted to misrepresent and confuse my at- titude with respect to the McNary- Haugen bill,” he said. “I do not propose to leave the slightest doubt in anybody’s mind on that subject. As I read the McNary-Haugen bill, its fundamental purpose is to estab- lish an effective control of the sale of exportable surplus with cost im- posed upon the commodity bene- fited. Stands For Principle “For that principle the Demo- cratic platform squarely stands, and for that principle I squarely stand. Mr. Hoover stands squarely opposed to this principle ty which the farmer could get the benefit of the rif: hat remains of the Mc- laugen bill is a mere matter of nog ani I ~ not limit myself e exact mechanics and methods embodied in that bill.” I have pledged myself to name @ nonpartisan commission of farm leaders and students of the problem to work out these details.
