Adams of Du; buque, Frank J. Lund, Lowden cam- palgn manager, has began to make po- litical fodder of the Hoover bugaboo, with the announcement Thursday that James Stedman, legislative representa- tive of the railroad brotherhoods in Towa, will begin active campaigning for Lowden in labor circles about the State. Lund also confirmed a rumor to the cffect that he will attack the Hoover sentiment in the urban districts, where it is supposed fo exist. Stedman has been for years prominent in Towa politics and is accredited with obtaining Senator Smith W. Brookhart his strong labor support in this State. He will direct Lowden club work among the labor groups, with especial attention to the urban districts, in six of which Hoover is believed to be dangerously popular. In addition to Stedman’s campaigning, Lund and former Senator Frederic La rabee of Fort Dodge also will enter ac- tive organization work L. thesc districts in the hope of bringing out a strong Lowden vote at the precinet caucus: which are to be held within three weel C.
