e e ——————————rer e JERSEY OVATION - PLEASES HOOVER fNominee Returning to Wash- ington After Warm Recep- tion in State. By the Associated Press. NEWARK, N. J, September 18.— After a quick invasion of the industrial centers of northern New Jersey, Herbert Hoover this afternoon turned again toward Washington, confident that his | trip here had gained* votes for the! Republican party. The Republican presidential candidate this morning visited Passaic. Patersen and Jersey City in addition to a dozeu | or more smaller towns through which | he passed en route. The trip was broken only for brief stops in Paterson and Jersey City. where he spoke a few words to the crowds that had gathered to get a glimpse of him. Warmly Greeted. A renewed demonstration greeted the candidate at every town along the way. In Paterson a throng of people had | gathered and cheered lustily as the can- | didate told them of his appreciation of the courteous reception that had been | accorded him in New Jersey. As he passed into the Democratic stronghold of Hudson County, however, the crowds dwindled away, and there were few people along the streets of Jersey City. At a theater there, how- ever, a considerable crowd had gathered and he was given a loud welcome. There were continual cheers for the nominee as he took his place on the | stage and again as Robert Carey, for- | merly judge in Jersey City, told the assembiage that “New Jersey must give Herbert Hoover a 400,000 majority in November.” Hisses mingled with the cheers, however, as Carey described the Democratic candidate, Gov. Alfred E. Smith, as a man who had served Tam- | many Hall for 25 years. Hopes to Win State. Hoover himself addressed the crowd briefly, telling them he did not take the demonstration as meant for himself, but as a consideration “that you have for the problems now before our coun- try.” He expressed the belief that the State would be found in the Republican column in November. Speeding back to Newark, the nomi- nee was the guest of United States Senator Walter E. Edge at a luncheon, where he met various prominent New Jersey Republicans. He turned from the luncheon to another automobile trip, which will take him through Eliza- beth to Princeton and Trenton, the State capital, where he will board a train for Washington. ‘Welcome Speech by Edge. Senator Edge in his speech of wel- come to Mr. Hoover voiced high hopes for the party’s success in New Jersey, “under the inspiring leadership” of the Republican nominee. “The Republican party in New Jer: sey,” he said, “unlike the opposition, does mnot recognize any dictator, but delegates individual responsibility to many active men and women. When they pull together we win; when they pull apart we lose.” A plea for harmony within the Re- publican ranks of the State to insure. Success for the entire ticket was made by former Gov. Edward C. Stokes. Mr. Stokes was a candidate for the Repub- lican senatorial nomination at the Spring primary. Asserting that he did not envy the rosltlon of a single man in the party, he former governor asserted that “if in the chances of the game, fickle for- tune deserted me for a handsomer man, she has left me in the field of battle, in the full armor of service, with loyalty unauestioned.” ‘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, Verora, Caldwell — where Grover Cleveland was born—the candi- date rode at the head of a great Jersey procession to the armory of the 113th Regiment, where he received wild ac- claim. Senator Edge and Representative Franklin Fort of East Orange, who is secretary of the Republican national committee, said they were amazed at the reception which Mr. Hoover had re- ceived in the suburbs, especially in view of the fact that he toured these sections at a time when men were at their desks in New York or otherwise engaged in the day's occupations. 20,000 in Parade. Leaders claimed there were 20,000 marchers in last night's parade and that half of them had come from the south- ern part of the State. Invading a ter- ritory in which his Democratic rival had been wildly acclaimed a few weeks before, the candidate told Republican workers that the reception which he had received ‘heartened him for the great battle which was ahead of him. At the buffet supper in Newark EIks' Club, at which this encouragement was imparted Mrs. Hoover also spoke. She said she was glad that at a time such as this, it was the candidate who made the speeches and the candidate’s wife who received the flowers. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Hoover spent the night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A Edison, in Liewellyn Park, West Orange. LEWIS LAUDS HOOVER SPEECH. Mine Workers’ President Sees Policy Favorable to Workers. SPRINGFIELD, Iil, September 18 (®).—John L. Lewis, president of the ‘United Mine Workers of America, com- menting on the speech of Herbert ‘Hoover last night, declared that Mr. Hoover penetrates the heéart of Amer- ica’s industrial and economic problem when he declares for full and stable employment for the workers of America. “His Newark address,” Mr. Lewis said, “reveals his intimate and compre- hensive grasp of the economic factors which are the everyday concern of the average American. His specific declarations in favor of high wages, free collective bargaining, restrictions on the use of injunctions in labor dis- putes, tariff schedules protective of American labor, continuance of immi- gration restrictions, further expansion of foreign export trade and govern- mental assistance to the depressed tex- tile and bituminous coal industries con- stitute a program that should carry an intense appeal to every thoughtful citizen.” TIRE SALESMAN Man to work Washing- ton, selling retail and com- mercial accounts.

He had made his first visit here in 1908 on his way back from the Democratic national convention at Denver and his second 12 years later, while returning from the San Francisco Democratic national convention. The governor had completed an out- line of the speech he will make tonight, in which he expects to make an appeal not only to the agricultural workers in the immediate vicinity, but to those of the entire Midwest area. Gets Questionnaire, A full page ad in the Omaha World- Herald, signed by 10 men, who called themselves “citizens of both parties” and propounding eight questions to be answered by the nominee in his speech tonight, was taken to the governor's suite, but no comment was forthcom- ing. in the same issue, National Com- mitteeman Mullen described all of the signers as Republicans. Among the questions were: “What specific Federal legislation do you propose for farm relief?” “Do you believe the country will be more prosperious with liquor or without? Why?” The governor expects to rest this af- ternoon. Several Democratiic leaders, however, had sought engagements to report to the party leader on conditions in the State. CHICAGO GREETING NOISY. Crowd Surges Into Train Yards to Cheer Nominee. By the Associated Press. GOV. SMITH'S TRAIN, EN ROUTE TO OMAHA, September 18 (#).—Having had his first taste of presidential cam- paigning by the hand-shaking method, Gov. Smith today entered the Midwest corn belt to open his drive for the ‘White House in a more formal manner with a speech tonight in Omaha on farm relief. After a noisy celebration in his honor in the trainyards of West Side Chicago last night, where several party leaders took the opportunity to report bright prospects for him in Illinois and Wis- consin in November, Gov. Smith listened in on one of the train’s three radio sets, put the finishing touches on a rough outline of his farm speech, and retired. ‘The remainder of the journey to Omaha was through northern Illinois and the heart of Iowa, Herbert Hoover's native State, and one which Smith managers see little hope of carrying in the presi- dential contest. Aroused by Crowd. A crowd which stayed up late to give the Democratic nominee a welcome to Iowa, routed him from bed after his train’ had crossed the Mississippi and come to a halt just before midnight at the station in Clinton, the first stop after the suburbs of Chicago. The two rear cars of the campaign special, occu- pied by the governor and those in his immediate party, were dark, indicating that all had retired, but cheers from the platform and the sounding of auto- mobile horns brought a flashing on of lights. In a minute or two Gov. Smith was out on the rear platform, an overcoat over his pajsmas, and his brown derby affording him protection from the chilly night air. His appearance set the crowd off on another wave of cheers, as he leaned over to shake hands with a number of persons, who wished him luck. Mrs. Smith waved greetings from a car win- low. Although his farm speech will be given out in advance to mewspapers, the governor, in accordance with pre- viously announced plans, will speak ex- temporaneously and probably follow only the general ideas laid down in the rough draft which was prepared principally for newspaper men who have early morning editions to catch in the East. This policy will b more or less followed in his five other set speeches during the two-week tour at Oklahoma City, Denver, Helena, St. Paul and Milwaukee. Hitchcock on Trip. Gilbert M. Hitchcock, former Senator from Nebraska and an Omaha pub- lisher, with Mrs. Hitchcock, were ac- companying the governor’s party as far as Omaha, having boarded the train when it left New York early Sunday evening and joined the nominee, his wife and daughter, Mrs. John A. ‘Warner, at Albany. Another Smith supporter, George N. Peek of Moline, Ill, chairman of the farm committee of 22 from the corn belt, was aboard the “Smith-Robinson special,” having entrained last night during the layover in the Chicago yards. He planned to.leave the party after the speech tonight. With Peek when he boarded the train were six other Smith adherents, including ‘Thomas Donovan, successor to the late George Brennan as Tllinois national committee- man. He gave the governor some favor- able reports on political trends in Illi- nois. Senator Wagner of New York, political associate of Smith’s, told him that Wisconsin, where he has been doing some organizing, was as good as won. There was little doubt, the gov- ernor was informed, that the Badger State, carried by La Follette four years ago, would go Democratic on the na- tional ticket. Donovan, - who also is chairman of the Illinois Democratic State commit- tee. gave assurances that Illinois, nor- mally Republican, would go for Smith by perhaps a majority of more than 100,000. A big crowd gathered on Chicago's _THE EVENING STAR, W HINGTON, D. C; TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 18, 1928.° 5 West Side tracks to give Gov. Smith his biggest reception since leaving Al- bany. At Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio, earlier in the day and later at Elkhart, Ind., groups of well wishers had turned out to get a glimpse of the Democratic standard bearer and his brown derby, but in the Chicago yards workers and residents from nearby neighborhoods, attracted to the scene by photogra- phers’ flares, turned out in larger num- bers and kept up noisy greetings for more than 20 minutes. Street urchins, husky workmen and many women swarmed around the rear platform of the observation car, eager to grasp the nominee’s hand. Scores of men and young boys clambered aboard for a personal greeting and the jam became £0 rough at one time that it looked as if the governor would be pulled over the rail. Policeman Grabs Youngsters. A burly policeman, after a flock of youngsters who were scrambling for Smith-Robinson campaign buttons be- ing flung from the train, picked dozens of the more aggressive button chasers from the tail-end steps as if he were picking berries from a bush. The gov- ernor plainly showed that he enjoyed the show, particularly when he received a cigar frora John J. Denny, who used to live aac play in the Smith neigh- lsr?éhood years ago on New York's East . The overnight ride to the Missourt River crossing at Council Bluffs, Iowa, was uneventful, except for the welcome extended at Clinton. A change in schedule announced last night calls for departure from Omaha Wednesday morning for Oklahoma’ City at 9:30 a.m. instead of 10 o'clock. |RIVERDALE WOMEN PLAN HOOVER CLUB Thirty Attend Preliminary Meet- ing and Name Mrs. Eva Chase Temporary Chairman.

The financing of rural electrification research at Iowa State College by the Iowa section of the National Electric Light Association was disclosed today in the Federal Trade Commission inquiry into the publicity activities of power utilities, by the testimony of H. F Weeks of Davenport, director ot the N E. L. A. branch. He produced from his records a finan- ! cial statement showing that $15,000 had beerr appropriated by the utility or- ganization since 1924, for the carryiLg on of the electrical study. This worl was undertaken at the instance of Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, and’ was car- ried on in co-operation between that group, the Towa State College, the N. E. L. A. section and the community of Garner, Iowa, he said, with Prof. Frank D. Paine of the college faculty charge. Query by Counsel. Robert E. Healy, commission coun- sel, asked whether the purpose of the research whs to disprove claims made of the advantages of rural electrifica- tion in connection with municipal own- ership and as part of his questioning referred to the Ontario, Canada, plan Weeks insisted that there was no aim to discourage adoption of such a plan ir Towa so far as the research was con- cerned. g “Our purpose was to secure informa- tion on the utilization of electricity on the farms and on the construction of farm lines,” he said. Other activities of the Iowa section of the N. E. L. A. were reviewed in detail by Healy, who had Weeks identify many documents received since the way. One of these showed that the Towa State Legislature had been sent monthly copies of the Public Service Magazine, which Weeks sald was spon- sored by H. J. Gonden of Chicago. Money Checks Introduoed. Checks paid to Walter E. Schwab of Towa City for surveying rates charged by municipally owned power plants were introduced. Weeks said this work was undertaken in connection with efforts under way to encourage municipal con- struction. Comparisons were made be- tween rates of municipally owned plants and public plants. A consulting engi- neer by profession, Schwab was also a part-time instructor in Iowa Univer- sity at the time of the survey, the testi- mony disclosed. A check for $676 to the railroad audit and inspection service in Janue- ary, 1925, was introduced by Healy. Weeks testified that this was for a study of oil engines in generation of electric power and added that copies of the report contending that the method was impracticable were sent to utility executives in communities where. efforts were under way to install the engines. Under examination, he said that the study had been undertaken with a view to discouraging municipal adoption of the engines. —_— Nearly 400 motor cycles were shipped from America to Soviet Russia in the first_six_months of this yea: HOUSEWIFE'S | _ NAME FOR Granulated - utility investigation has been under | CEOBOR0ESHIRIEINBGIOISNOLCHOTOTS RO O FIFOIOLOEINIUGRGIOTISBUSEGSNOR | ;nsgeneus HOFIHONS GEONTONGBONOUOHOTL T HOT ) Coffe Cup “Your Home Should Come First” ‘S= e Last Weck T went to see the first All-talk- ing-Movie.
