THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY, JULY 1928. HOTLY CONTESTED CAMPAIGN 15 SEEN Both Parties Preparmg lor Short, Intensive Appeal to Country. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. It virtually has been decided by the managemenis of both political parties that 1928 is to be one of the shortest and snappiest presidential campaigns d.

Secretary Hoover's managers are bent | upon holding the normally Republican North and East and the West in the Republican electoral column. The votes of those sections would. of course, elect Hoover and Curtis. G. O. P. talk of breaking into the solid South is mot really serious. The most the party hopes to accomplish south of Mason and Dixon’s line is to reduce the Demo- | cratic popular vote for Smith and Rob- fnson to the lowest figures Democratic national candidates have ever received in Dixie. The Republicans’ paramount problem. they acknowledge, is to “stop” Smith in New England. New York. New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. Any considerable loss of electoral votes in that Northern Atlantic region would be perilous to the Hoover ticket The Democratic tectics call for carry- ing the 10 States of the solid South. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana. Mississiopi, North Carolina €outh Carolina. Texas and Virginia. These account for 114 electoral votes Northeastern Drive. The Smith people’s strategic program #ls0 embraces an intensive drive for the Lort.buslzm block of an even 100 votes, including those of Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York. New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. It takes 266 votes to carry the by a majority vote. capture the solid South majority. If Smith and Robinson are %o win, they would have to pick up that margin by carrying some of the so- called border States of West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and | Okishoma.

July 26 (Special) —There are no Venuses in Prance and Jean Vignaud is in despair. Dianas, yes: Minervas, yes, but not a single God- dess of Love to be found in the country. Vignaud, novelist and literary edi- tor of the Petit Parisien, has written a book in which Venus is a charac- ter. It was to be filmed, but a woman to play the part cannot be found. The specifications call for her to be “modern, aristocratic, ele- gant, preferably blond, well built, tall.” Maurice de Waleffe, expert in femi- nine beauty, corroborates Vignaud's complaint that such a creature is not available, yet he points out that such full-formed figures existed from the remotest antiquity until quite recent- Iy, if the stat d pictures of the last 3.000 yea Even in comparatively recent years the blond, plump Venus must have been known to such painters as Fra- gonard, Boucher, Ingres.
