Presidtnt Hoover is strongly urged by political advisers to jump into the cam- paign personally and to carry the fight to Gov. Roosevelt in the West, and therg are reports that he has| decided t& do it. In the opinion of these advisers, the situation in the country is too serious to permit a passive campaign; they say the farmer and laborer must be | made to understand that they still| have a real stake in the country and | its Government, and that if they are not to lose what they have they had| better turn their backs on, for ex- ample, Roosevelt, Garner and McAdoo. There are others of his advisers who believe he would fare better by staying on the job in Washington and giving his time and ‘attention to_work of reconstruction and relief. These are the advisers who point to the front porch campaign waged in 1896 by | ‘William McKinley when William Jen- nings Bryan was traveling up and down the country, drawing huge crowds | and apparently far in the lead in the September of that year only to lose to | McKinley in November. | Those Who demand a more active | campaign, however, point to the agres-| sive Theodore Roosevelt and his cam- | paign tactics. Sees Mills and Hurley. Closeted with the President yester- day for hours, though singly, were Becretary of the Treasury Mills and Secretary of War Hurley, two of his chief political advisers. When Mr. Hurley left the White House late yesterday afternoon he said that during his recent trip to the West and Northwest he had found the people, and particularly the Republicans, anx- dous to have the President come to those sections and speak during the | campaign. He caid he had told the President as much, but declined to re- veal the reaction of Mr. Hoover toward this call from the West. Officially, to date, the only informa- tion from the White House is that the President probably will make three speeches in the campaign, one in the East and two in the West and Middle ‘West. All kinds of reports have been circulated that this program was to be | increased during the last week. While no announcement was forth- coming, it is understood the President and the two cabinet officers yesterday canvassed the political situation in considerable detail. Both Mr. Mills and Mr. Hurley will be called upon o do a lot of the speaking during the campaign for the Republican national | ticket.-- Mr. Hurley himself expects soon 1o get into action in the West. Mr. Bdrley declined to make any predi-.ions regarding the election in the Western States he visited during his trip to Oregon. “We have a fight on our hands and we are going through with it,” he said. Seven Weeks Remain. Seven weeks only remain in which to campaign. The Republican campaign managers are awaiting the reaction of the Western voters to Gov.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, September 17.— With a proposal for establishing a na- tional co-operative system of farm mar- keting and a review of tariff legislation sponsored by his party, Vice President Curtis opened the Republican campaign | in Pennsylvania today. Shortly before his arrival the Repub- lican State Committee adopted a plat- form urging “immediate modification of the Volstead act” repeal of the eighteenth amendment, “and the return to the States of the power to deal with the liquor question as the majority of | voters of each State shall decide.” Speaking in & picturesque outdoor natural amphitheater at Foglesville. near here, the Vice President devoted most of his address to agriculture. “While this problem of agriculture has not been and should not be parti- san,” he said, “yet the Republican party wishes to solve it and is anxious to bring the farmer into a situation of equality with industry. ‘Would Reduce Cost Spread. “One of the problems is to reduce the spread between what the producer on the farm receives and what the ulti- mete consumer pays for such products. Another is to provide the farmer better marketing facilities. “I have for years believed a national co-operative system would help solve the problem and I still believe such a sys- tem, properly organized and conducied, would enable the farmer to get a better price for his products and at the same time do no injury to those who deal honestly in the buying and selling of farm products, while protecting the farmer against those who will not give him a square deal.” Mr. Curtis said that “through the prompt action of the President and with the hearty support of the people and business interests of the country,” financial dangers following Great, Brit- ain’s departure from the gold standard had been averted.

The crowd cheered frequently as the Democratic presidential candidate out- lined a eevenfold program, which he sald comprised the transportation policy of the Democratic party. His well modulated voice reached to the far corners of the huge egg-shaped building that Brigham Young visualized for the followers of his faith. A part of the difficulties he attrib- uted to less regulated motor competi- tion and a part to what he termed un- reasonable competition among the rail- roads themselves. “Is is necessary that each rall serv- ice should fit into and be co-ordinated with other rail services and with other forms of transportation,” he said.

Mr. Roosevelt put the policy briefly in closing: “Avoid financial excesses. adjust plant to traffic, co-ordinate all carrier service; protect the worker; above all, serve the public reasonably, swiftly and well.” As he finished his discussion and was leaving the grounds, the mammoth pipe organ thundered out “Happy Days Are Here Again” the music so frequently pleyed during the Chicago convention, which nominated Mr. Ropsevelt.

ASUNCION, Paraguay, September 17. —A Paraguayan note to the American neutrals seeking to end hostilities in the Chaco jungle between Paraguay and Bolivia today charged that Bolivia had prepared for war with “her own re- sources and generous foreign loans.” It was stated that Paraguay really wanted “definitely to end hostilities” so as to start negotiations without being under the pressure of arms.

Bolivia and Paraguay were urged yes- terday by the United States and other neutral Latin American powers to cease hostilities at once and discuss terms of armistice later. Messages to this effect were sent to both countries after a meeting of the neutrals in the office of Assistant Sec- retary of State White. Both Paraguay and Bolivia have ex- pressed a willingness to have the terms of an armistice negotiated in Washing- ton, and as they are adequately repre- sented the neutral powers are hopeful that can be brought about by their latest plan.

TOKIO, September 17.—Japanese | government officials are considering | | whether 1t would be advisable or not to send a special envoy to the United States some time early in 1933 to con- fer personally with the President on the problems of the Far East with a view to promoting better relations between Japan and the United States.

EX-CADDIE DEFEATED IN SPECTACULAR ROUND Match Ends on 35th Green After Nebraska Youngster Plays Too Safe. BY W. R. McCALLUM. FIVE FARMS COURSE. Baltimore, September 17.—An imperturbable, poker- faced 29-year-old Canadian, who has s habit of punching rifie-like fron shots at distant pins, is the new amateur golf champion of the United States. C. Ross Somerville of London, On- tario, known to his friends as “Sandy,” won the title.on the 35th green of this _course today, beating Johnny Goodman, the scrapping ex-caddie from Omaha, by 2 and 1 in a titanic battle of spectacular shots and intermingled mediocrity to become the first Canadian to annex a United States golf crown. Somerville won the final from Good- man by playing eight of the last nine holes in exactly par, striding back from the fringe of defeat with an exhibition of shot-making and cool nerve unsur- passed even by Jones in the days when the Georgian was crushing the opposi- tion by his machine-like play. Somerville entered the last nine of the final round today 2 down to the up-and-coming Goodman, 22-year-old insurance man from Omaha. He left the seventeenth or thirty-fifth green amateur golf champion of the United States. When the crucial test came over the last nine holes of that head-to- head, ripping, tearing struggle, it was the scrappy, blond Goodman who faded as he went over par on four consecutive holes, and the nerveless, taciturn Canuck who calmed those nagging nerves and settled down to pace par with unrelenting cadence. Goodman Leading at Turn. Through the first nine of the final | round, which Somerville started 1 up by holing a 25-footer on the eighteenth hole in the morning, Goodman came with a rush as Somerville unleashed a series of wild shots. The little Nebraskan loomed as the winner at the tura in the afternoon, for in the space of four holes he converted a 1 down looked as if Johnny Goodman was carry out his threat of beating the | Walker Cup big-wigs and then winning the championship. But that was not to be against the iron-nerved Canadian. Somerville, who had appeared a fading golfer over that first nine, suddenly gathered himself together and rifled those second shots within putting range of the pin on every hole of the last nine. Goodman, who had been splitting the pin on th first nine, turned around and hit four bad iron shots in a row, dropping three of the holes, and only getting a half on | another because the coming champion | ns_Associated P l TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE FRANGE MAY ASK NATIONS TOPROBE RECH ARMAVEN International Investigation Would Be Sought After Equality Demand.
