Lenroot Is Caller. root of Wisconsin, who said the nomi- nation of Kohler as the Republican candidate for governor in the Badger State insured a Hoover victory there in November. Besides discussing Wis- consin, Lenroot took up conditions over the country generally with the Republi~ can presidential candidate. It was thought that Mr. Hoover would spend part of today working on the speech he is to deliver September 17 at Newark, N. J. That address will be followed by speeches at Elizabethton, | Tenn., October 6, at New York on Octo- ber 17, and one in New England on a date in October to be announced later. The Republican nominee spent an- other quiet Sabbath yesterday. After | attending services with members of his family at the Friends Mebting House on I street in the morning, Mr. Hoover re- mained at home the rest of the day. Mr. Hoover has been hoping to get away from the city for a few days this week for a fishing trip on the Chesa- peake Bay, but plans for. the trip are somewhat indefinite. During his stay in Washington pre- ceding his speaking engagements, the nominee is following closely the trend of events in all sections of the country and is becoming thoroughly familiar ]With the progress of the campaign in | the various localities. Representative Fort of New Jersey, secretary of the Republican national committee, who has returned from a speaking trip in New England, predicted last night that Maine will record a heavy Republican vote in today's elec- tion. He also was optimistic regarding the outlook in Massachusetts and other New England States. He expects the support Hoover will get from the woman voters will be an important factor in New England. “New England also is aware,” Fort added, “that it would be unwise to turn over the textile situation to a man who knows nothing about it, in contrast to the great record of Mr. Hoover in try- ing to assist the industry to meet the new conditions which face it.” Charles C. Madison, former United States attorney at Kansas City, told Chairman Work of the Republican national committee today that Re- publicans in Missouri are organizing | more thoroughly than ever in the past, | and expressed confidence in Missouri’s support of the Hoover-Curtis ticket.

Will Rogers NEWTON, Kans—The farmers starve three years out of four, but the good year is always election year.

In the morning the unoccupied rifle- men, visitors and camp employes wit- nessed a demonstration of fancy pistol, rifle and shotgun shooting by Capt. A. H. Hardy, Los Angeles. His most diffi- cult trick was ejecting a .22-caliber bul- let from a repeating rifle and shooting it before it hit the ground. Demonstrate Compensator. Col. Richard M. Cutts, 3101 Thirty- fourth street northwest, Ordnance De- partment, United States Marine Corps, and his son gave a practical demonstra- tion of their invention, the Cutts coni- pensator, that iz being put to field tests in Nicaragua. It is a device that when screwed to the muzzle of an automatic rifle or machine gun counteracts the |upward kick and at the same time re- | duces the recoil to such an amount that either weapon could safely be fired with the butt held against the pit of one's stomach. Most of the local marksmen were eye- witnesses at about 2 o'clock to the trag- edy that spoiled the afternoon program given by the Air Service. The largest crowd of visitors that had ever come out to Camp Perry were lined up along | the shore of Lake Erie when a group of six pursuit planes, flying in squadron formation, passed less than 100 feet over the crowded shore, dived hawklike with tremendous speed at a paper target in the lake and zoomed up with one plane missing. The latter evidently could not stand the terrific strain, shot straight into the water well within 150 yards of shore, exploded and disappeared in the 315 feet of water. The pilot, J. C. Soper, Selfridge Field, Mich.,was extricated in about 20 min- utes in an unconscious condition, but did not live until the ambulance reached a Port Clinton Hospital. Mussolini’s Sons on Tour.
