" LIKE SPEECHES Are Disagroabe Feaare of s puin, e Fos Washington, Sept. 12 (UP)—The way Herbert Hoover looks at it, hie il worry of the presidential cam- is — too many speeches to make and not enough time to write thea. Fer a weck he has been hacking and_sawing at his labor address to be 'luh\wed next Monday at New- ark! N. J., and when he went to Unigh station (o greet President (toolidge this morning he had not yet finished it. Spoils Plans | The delay has spoiled his plans | for a two day fishing trip the end of | the week. | Writing speeches is something | new in Hoover's life. He never has | been in a political campaign before | and never has run for public office. Speeches delivered in many parts of the country up to the time of his nomination concerned subjects with which he was intimately familiar— radio, railroad car handlings, ship- | ping. foreign trade and the like. He could handle them from a technical standpoint. They were written like the engineering reports of his ear- lier days. “Consequently Hoover never de- ybloped a free literary style. Now | when he must write speeches for Nistory, he has difficulty. He spen* more than a month writing his ac- ceptance speech. After it was print- ed, he revised it. When he made his Boulder .dam speech at Los An- geles he decided upon an addition to it only a few hours before it was delivered. ! No Style .The first printed draft of his Newark speech was finished week., He has torn it apart since then and now he does not believe advance copies will be ready for cir- culation before Thursday. He planned to spend the day working on it, taking time out to receive a women's delegation head- d by Alice Paul of the National Women's party. Although he has resigned from the cabinet, Hoover went. to the station to meet Mr. Coolidge in accordance with'the old custom that cabinet members greet thefr ‘chief. He is expected to have a conference with the chief execu- tive at the White House during th: day. Late yesterday Hoover made known his interest in the transcon- tinental air derby, offcring congrat- uldtions both to the winner and to the committee which promoted it. “The astofishing progress of avia- tion in this country during the last three years fully justifies the policy by which we undertook to stimulate Vrivate development of aviation in- siced of granting subsidies as has beci dohe in Eturope,” Hoover sald. ie received a delegation of war terans and assured them the re- ily fncreased government ex-| nditures for veterans' care would continued. sbbers Report Business For Fall Looks Good New York, Sept. 12—General con- ditions, as reported by the leading market centers, are in a very satis- factory condition at the present time, Hardware Age will say tomor- row in its weekly market summary. The western and middle western sections of the country are now re- porting highly satisfactory crops and the indications point to an in- creased buylng power of the con- sumers in rural districts. The in- dustrial situation is also showing marked improvement. Eastern mills and factories are giving more sus- taining employment than they have for some months. ‘Jobbers and retailers are looking tor a good volume of profitable trade during the balance of the year. The price situation at press time is steady. Very few changes have been listed this week. Collections are fairly satisfactory at this time, but improvement is looked for.

Xy WHYTE FOX NEW HAMPSHIRE IN POLITICAL REVOLT Primary Fails {0 Follow Advice of “0ld Guard” Manchester, N. H., Sept. 12 (P— Dominance in New Hampshire pol- itics had returned to the liberal wing of the republican party today with the nomination of Charles W. Tobey of Temple for governor. Tobey, who bolted the party with Roosevelt in 1912 and boasted of it during his campaign, won a decisive victory over Ora A. Brown of Ash- lund in yesterday's primary election. ‘While returns were atill incomplete, 252 wards and towns out of 294 in the state gave Tobey 27,480 votes to 21,808 for his opponent. Election of Brown, a member of the g nor's council and veteran of the *“old guard” had been vigor- ously advocated by Gov. Spaulding, 8enators Moses and Keyea and other prominent party leaders. Tobey, a former president of the state sen- ate and a former speaker of the house of representatives, was sup- ported by Former Governors John G. Winant, Robert P, Bass and other leaders of the progressive branch of the party. Eldction Conceded Because New Hampshire is over- whelmingly rzpublican, Tobey's no- mination was generally conceded as being equivalent to election and as marking the return of the libc al wing to the power it won with the election of Winant as governor in 1924 and lost with his defeat for reelection in 1926. Former Mayor Eaton D. Sargent of Nashua will be' Tobey's opponent for governor in the November elec- tion. Bargent, who was the demo- cratic candidate for governor (wo |érnoon, yoars ago, again was mominated by his party by an everwhelming vots over Charles D. Ward of Manche™ ter. Ward made his campaign on s “wringing wet” platform. Nomination Asewred Nomination of Sargent was as- sured when 237 wards and towns §ave him 7,998 votes to 3,463 for his opponent. ¢ Incomplete returns indicated the nomination of F. Clyde Keefe of Dover in the contest for the demo- cratic nomination for congress -in the first district. Returns from 98 of the 133 wards and towns in he district gave Keefe ¢.612 to 3,736 for Arthur V.
