Hull, “lame duck” Congressman, of Peoria, Ill., will think twice before he again requests the use of a Government barge during for- | mer Gov.

On behalf of the Mississippi Valley | ‘Waterways Association, Mr. Hull re- cently requested the loan of a Govern- ment freight barge, which was granted with the approval of the War Depart- jment. The Inland Waterways Corpo- ration, which represents the Govern- ment in the freight-hauling business, was led to believe the barge was to be used in a tour of the Mississippi River in the interest of waterways develop- | ment. It turned out, however. to be a| speechmaking trip for Small and other | Republican candidates. The barge was | pulled from port to port and used as a { dance hall. | When Secretary Hurley's office began receiving complaints from Democrats in Illinois concerning the so-called “show | boat,” an inquiry was begun. When Xt} was learned the barge was being put to | political uses, the Inland Waterways | Corporation was directed to send Rep- | resentative Hull a bill for its rental. It amounted to $20 a day for the 10 days | in which the barge was used, a check | for which Mr. Hull forwarded yes- | terday.

In a race as close as that indicated between Field and Murphy, neither could afford to lose more votes than the other to the insurgent Brookhart, In an earlier poll, conducted last March by the Register and Tribune, Democratic presidential possibilities were favored by 71 per cent of the voters. Roosevelt ran 53 votes ahead of Hoover' and each received 24 per cent of the total vote cast. On the face of present partial tabu-. lation of what may reach 100,000 bal- lots, Roosevelt has gained personally, but not held the Demmcratic sentiment of March, while Hoover not only has galned personal strength, but has in- creased the Republican showing.

CHICAGO, September 27.—Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas sald last night in a radio address that his asso- ciation with President Hoover has taught him to know the President as “a man too honest to be a ‘grandstand- ell' but with courage and backbone p‘rmlnl the administration’s efforts for economic recovery, Senator Capper sald that “had the President failed us, had he weakened, it is not too much to say there would not be a bank open in America today; the whole economic fab- ric of the eountry would have been wrecked or paralyzed.” “Party politicians always have com- plained that President Hoover never has tried to ‘sell' himself to the country,” Senator Capper said. “They want him to dramatize himself; do some posing before the public. “He doesn’t do it. Herbert Hoover is too busy at his job of being President.” Declaring there was no reason for dispensing with Hoover, the Kansas Benator asked: “What great corporation would change its president in such times? Would it a good plan for the people of the United States to turn over the administration of the Govern- ment to a lot of new and inexperi- enced hands?” s CHAVEE IS RENOMINATED FOR REPRESENTATIVE New Mexico Democrats Also Name Seligman Again for Post of Governor.
