CAMPAIGN SWINGS INTO FULL STRIDE Borah and Smith Still Mys- teries—Socialist Most Active Vote-Seeker. By the Ascoclated Press. Another week of Democratic activity and Republican preparation has brought the major outline of the political cam- paign into somewhat clearer relief, al- though certain important elements of the picture still are shadowy and un- certain. i A large section of the country now has seen Gov. Roosevelt in action on the stump, as he expresesd at length his views on agriculture, railroads, pow- er, the tariff and other topics. On the Republican side, plans for & Yater drive for votes have taken definite shape after long conference. President Hoover is to open his campaign at Des Moines on October 4, with a speech de- voted to various issues, and to follow it up with two other principal addresses. Final Stage of Campaign. The week, likewise, has seen the last of the 1922 State primaries, including an upset of the La Follette leadership in Wisconsin. State tickets now are com- Plete except in a small handful of cases, where nominations are to be made later by convention; and all along the line, in ntial, State and congresisoal con= jes have come to the final campaigning. in doubt just what the cen- rn of that campaigning will Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hoo- aid that economic recovery e prime issue of the campaign, t is a broad subject, embracing many subdivisions. As the prohibition and anti-prohibition organizations go into action, it is increasingly certain that the dry laws will be much debated, particularly in the congressional con- tests Two outstanding figures of the cam- paign of 1928 still clothe their 1932 in- tentions in silence, but predictions are heard among the well-informed that neither Alfred E. Smith nor Willlam E. Borah will let the campaign end without having his say. Smith at Convention. Some of Smith's friends believe he will definitely declare his position when the New York Democratic State Con= vention meets during the first week of October, just as Gov. Roosevelt returns from his trip to the West Coast. These reports have made the con- vention the focus of extraordinary ex- pectations. The rumors about’ Borah are not 8o detailed. He remains at his home in Idaho, saying something now and then about issues in which he is particularly interested, but declaring his support for no one. He did say weeks ago he could not support Mr. Hoover on the prohibition plank adopted by the Republicans at Chicago. Those who know him best, however, cannot envisage him permanently in the role of a recluse; they very strongly suspect he will be heard from in spec- tacular fashion sooner or later, one way or another. Socialist Most Active. While all of these weighty matters shape up in the two, great parties, the most active campaigher of them all is neither a Democrat nor a_ Republican, but Norman Thomas, the Socialist nominee for President. He is off on & speaking swing which probably will give more voters than ever before in history an opportunity to hear and see the candidate of a smaller party. He is after a record Socialist vote in 1932 and his supporters are so en- couraged they are estimating the total in millions.

By the Associated Precs NEW YORK, September 23—Dr. John F. Condon, the “Jafsle” of the Lindbergh kidnaping case, has not abandoned the hunt for the kidnapers and for the man who tricked him into throwing $50,000 over & cemetery wall. “Last week he went to Canada, where seven of the bills turned up,” the World- Telegram said it had been informed by a confidante of the doctor. “He is sin- cerely of the belief that he is hot on the trail of a new development that will eventually lead to the arrest of the kid- rs.

Speaking at & Republican gathering here in honor of State’s Attorney John A. Swanson, Secretary, Hurley referred to the Democratic presidential candi- date’s speech at Portland, Oreg., as “sound only to the extent that it is ‘eribbed’ from President Hoover's in-| augural address and his messages to Congress.” He said Gov.
