EN ROUTE WITH SENATOR CURTIS IN OKLAHOMA, September 27.—Senator Curtis, the Republican | vice presidential nominee, came into | _ Oklahoma today, a State which cast its | only ballot for him for President at the | Republican _national convention, and | started a three-day visit contemplated to_carry him into ever section. The State tour, beginning almost at | fun-up today with an appearance at Miami, where the Indians arranged a meeting, is a whirlvind finish to a whirlwind campaign of the West begun | two weeks ago by the veteran cam- paigner. Two Speeches Daily. No less than two speeches a day are | on the program of the Senator duri his whirl about this State. After to Miami from Afton early today he | moves on to Tulsa for an early after- noon meeting and then motors to Okmulgee for a speech tonight. Representative Purnell of Indiana, ranking Republican on the House agri- cultural committee, had been sent on here by the Republican national commit- tee to assist the Senator at out-of-doors | meetings. Curtis is treating a raw throat which he irritated by constant speaking on his way Westward last week and is under doctor’s orders not to speak in the open air. Greeted by Vast Crowd. Before a crowd which jammed into cvery bit of available space in the| massive Shrine Mosque at Springfield, | Mo., last night t ince pressed the | Republican advocating a | higher protective tariff and lauding | Herbert Hoover. The crowd cheered wildly his declaration that he “per- sonally™ was opposed to “any State go- ing into the whisky business.” Crowds also stood on the outside of 5.2 bunlding and listened to the address | from loud speakers, and the radio car- ried it over the State from Station WOS at Jefferson City. Within 12 hours of the departure of Senator Curtis from Spricgfield Sen- ator Robinson, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, was due in the | city to deliver an address tonight. LIQUOR CHARGES DENIED BY MELLON Secretary Declares He Has No Connection With Distilling Interests. By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTE, N. C.. September 27— » Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, in a letter received yesterday by C. M. Setzer, chairman of the Re- publican county organization here, de- nied that he is connected with the busi- mess of distilling liquor. Mr. Mellon's letter was in reply to a telegram informing him that Demo- cratic speakers were charging he was in the liquor business. “In response to your request I have to say that the Democratic speakers’ statements are comvletely false,” the letter said. “I never was actively en- gaged in the distilling business, and since taking offife have had no interest * in or connection with the distillation of liquor or any liquor business.” ‘The letter referred Mr. Setzer to a communication sent by Mr. Mellon to an Anti-Saloon keague officlal in West Virginia, which said: “I once owned stock in a distillery company as I owned stock in many other business enter- prises. The stock in this company was disposed of before I took office as Sec- Jetary of the Treasury. * * * At no time was I ever actively engaged in the distilling business.” Swiss Tactics Arouse Ire. Australians are aroused over the re- cent report of E. Tilley, managing di- rector of a watch case manufacturing concern of Melbourne, on his treatment while in Switzerland to buy additional machinery. Tilley says that the Asso- ciation of Watch Case Manufacturers in Switzerland were advised of his in- tentions, and an appeal was published in a Swiss newspaper that local manu- facturers should not aid foreigners to transplant the watch case industry abroad. All the firms with which he placed orders were warned that if they filled the orders they would be barred from the association. When he secured the machinery from firms outside the organization he was threatened with de- portation as an undesirable trader, in the same way as three Japanese and a Canadian were deported some months | previously, Tilley said. Following in 1924—G. O. P. Calls Theory False. BY BYRON PRICE, Associated Press Stafl Writer. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, September | ¢ n interesting mathci-atical the- ory lies behind the Democratic bid for | Western electoral votes in 1928. It is that Gov. Smith, cnce his views have been presnted fully to the Western electorate, will win the bulk of the sup- port that went to Senator La Follette in the three-cornered campaign of 1924 Adding this to the vote given John W. Davis the dopesters arrive at a Smith victory in a number of States which | Coolidge carried without havi; majority over the combined opponents, _This. it should be understood, is pure- ly a Democratic thesis, to which the Hoover managers do not subscribe. Re- publican dopesters say that most of those who voted for La Follette were Republicans, and that they naturally will return to the paternal hearthstone now that the La Follette party is no | more. Base Hopes on Progressives. The hopes of the Democrats in this | matter have their beginning in the weil established Western urge toward “pro- | ressive policies”—a term often used but variously defined. It is the belief of the Democrat'c managers that before the campaign is over, Gov. Smith vineing proof of his devotion to “Pro- gressive” principles. Chairman Raskob has told his sub- ordinates in the Democratic national | organization that he expects Smith to receive the support of 80 per cent or more of the “Progressive” vote, as rpp- rescnted by the La Follette strength four vears ago. Here is the way the Democrats apply their reasoning to the Rocky Mountain States as a whole: The group includes eight States, all ,36.50' 10 512.50 shoes your various costumes call for, you are certain to find that smart version in Queen Quality Shoes.
