HOOVER HAY HAVE T0 ANSWER SHITH Has Givm Governor Finst Tungible Target of Campaign ‘Washington, Oct. 25 (UP)—Her- bert Hoover found today he had stirred up a controversy that prob- ably will dominate the campaign until its close 12 days henee when he denounced Governor Alfred E. Smith's prohibition modification, farm relief and water power pro- posals as “state socialism.” Studying The republican candidate today was studying Smith's speech last night in which the democratic can- didate ridiculed the “socialistic” at- tack. He likewise gave his atten- tion to the harsh criticism of his Madison Square Garden speech by Benator George Norris of Nebraska, independent republican leader, who Bas declared for Smith. Hoover was considering whether the fusillade will make it necessary for him to take up the issue again on his own behalf iri the final cam- paign speech he will make at St. Louls on November 2 on his way west, He announced last night he would speak chiefly on farm relief and inland waterways, with some attention to other iasues, in that ad- dress. The republican candidate may decide to ignore Smith’s reply. He has declined heretofore to be drawn into any debate. Ible Target Smith, it appears, is going to em- phasize the ‘‘socialistic” attack, He has been waiting since the outset of the campaign for a tangible target, for Hoover to say something direct- ly about his program. He now has it. He considers the last few days of the campaign the most import- ant. He probably will use this am- munition to the limit, in a play for the “break” in the closing days. It tevolves around his three leading ssues. Whether Hoover says anything further may depend upon just how persistent his opponent becomes and ‘what Norris says in his speech Sat- urday night, formally declaring for Smith. The Nebraska senator's word car- ries weight with those who followed the late Senator LaFollette in 1924, especially in the northwest. He said Hoover's Madisop Square Garden speech pped every progressive minded man and woman in America in the face.” He thereby raised the fssue directly. Norris Has Weapon It gives Norris an immediate weapon beyond his general opposi- tion to Hoover, which he will set forth in detail in his 8aturday night speech. Both republican and demo- cratic leaders are studying the pro- able effect of Norris' support of Smith and making their own specu- Iations. Hoover, himself, declined to comment on Norris' move. ‘The northwest is a battleground, and there Norris’ declaration will be chiefly effective. Its effect will de- pend upon its influence among those who supported LaFollette, of whom there were nearly 5,000,000 through- out the country. No one knows ev- actly what they will be in actual election results. Strategists of both parties are going back to the 1924 record, May Get 17 Votes ‘That shows that while LaFollette earried only his own state, the com- bined Davis-LaFollette vote was greater in four other states than that polled by Coolidge. Those states were North and SBouth Dakota, Ne- brasks and Montana, with Coolidge's vote only 4,000 greater than the eombined vote in Wyoming. The electoral vote of the five states is »17. Wyoming has three votes. La Follette also polled a large vote in many cities, even in the east. It s possible Norris’ support might have #ome effect in them. Hoover and his advisers are con- #ldering all these things as they map Out their strategy for the final phases of the campaign. Hoover has completed his cam- paign itinerary. He will leave here about 5 o'clock on th afternoon of November 1, atop at Cumberland, Maryland, and Louisville, Kentucky. for short platform talks, and arrive in 8t. Louis late on the afternoon of November 2, He will leave' immediately after his speech in the coliseum there for the west, connecting with the Union Pacific at Grand Island, Nebraska, and proceeding through that state, Wyoming. Utah, Nevada and into California. The special train is sched uled to arrive in Palo Alto late in the afternoon of November 5. Hoov- er will make a brief address over a national radio hookup that night. Few Appearances He has cut down his back plat- form appearances on the trip west on account of the late departure, announcing that after he leaves St. Louis only necessary operating stops will be made, “This is no speech-making tour,” Hoover explained. 'm just going home to vote.” WONDER IF LONG WILL TURN STATE'S EIDENCE Sudden Change of Plea By Philadel- phia Police Officer Gives Rise to Rumor Philadelphia, Oct. 25 (UP)—a sudden change in his plea from “not guilty” to “guilty” on charges of extortion, conspiracy and bribery by Albert Long, former South Phila- delphia detective, led to the rumor today that he would turn state's evidence, ; Long, indicted on these charges in connection with the grand jury investigation of vice and police cor- ruption in Philadolphia, changed his pléa yesterday just before selec- tion of a jury to sit on his case. The state announced it had two star witnesses. One of them |is Morris “Whitey” Clearfield, confess- ed bootlegger who operated a still and kept a pecord of *protection” payments in a “little black book" which fell into the hands of federal prohibition agents, Clearfield, at preliminary hearings testified to preparing alleged “bribe” envelopes for Captain Charles Co- hen, co-defendant with Long, and Patrolman Frank De Rose in the present trial before Judge James G. Gordon, Jr. The Philadelphla Federation of Churches passed a resolution pledg- ing support to District Attorney John Monaghan “until all the guilty were brought to justice.”” Tn an- other resolution the federation ask- ed a substantial increase in pay for policemen to prevent graft and to show public appreciation of faithful service. Predicts Cotton Will Resume Supremacy Boston, Oct. 26 (UP)—The pre- diction that cotton was gradually re- assuming its former position in style supremacy, was made by President G. Edward Buxton in opening the annual convention of the national as. sociation of cotton manufacturers here yesterday. “The uninistalable trend of cotton toward style significance is the one development of the year which easily is of greater importance than every other consideration,” he said. “If we are alert to seize this op- portunity,” he continued, “and em- ploy every possible means to give the American woman a satisfactory range of fabrics which harmonize with authentic style tendencles, we may hereafter point to the past 12 months as the year which marked the progress of our industry from its deepest depression to a cycle of reasonable employment and fair profit.

COMMUNISTS ARE AGAINST POLYGAMY Start Merciless Straggle to swp “Xalim” Samarkand, Turkesta, Oct. 24 (® —A merciless struggle againat poly- gamy and the paying of “kalim” or ransom for Moslem brides, has been started by higher communist au- thorities throughout the Kazak, Uz- bek and Tadjik republics in Central Asia. A special society to fight teass Mohammedan practices was organ- ized. Ten years of intensive Bolshevik propaganda affected the practices of Moslem rites by the native popula- tion but little even among certain classes of government officials and communists, who in the depth of their souls still clung to the law of the prophet. The Sar-Dariinsk communiat party organization, submitted a re- port stating that the “kalim” and polygamy, although concealed in form, were frequent not only among non-party members, but even among communists, old and young. Against Trading Giris Another practice adverse to com- munist doctrines, is the trading of marriageable girls by their parents to the highest bidder, and the subse- quent resale of the girls if the bid is later raised by some other person. An example was the case of a cer- tain Desunov, once a wealthy Kir- shis peasant of the Barabinsk step- pes. He submitted before the Mos- cow court this letter: “In 1920 I was married, in ac- cordance with our Moslem customs and ancient traditions, to Macki Temerbekova, and paid for her seven cows, five oxen and ten rou- bles. Two months later my wife deserted me and joined her father who sold her soon afterwards to a second husband for 225 roubles cash. I was ruined and all my ap- peals to local authorities to get my wife or property back, were in vain. Today I have become a poor farm-hand, while my runaway wife, I have learned, has been recently re-sold by her father to a third husband.” MINISTER RESIGNS New Haven, Conn., Oct. 25 (UP) —Rev. Henry W. Voight. pastor of Emanuel Lutheran church, who re- cently attacked “the religion of the democratic (presidential) candidate’ has resigned, it became known yes- terday, Church trustees already had called a meeting to discuss their pastor's letter to the fellowship forum, an anti-Catholic organ when the resignation was received.

One lifeboat containing 24 men from the Cairntorr was picked up by the freighter Salacia which an- swered the ship's 8 O 8. and 18 standing by the wreck but the oth- er boat has not been sighted. Local shipping men believe the missing lifeboat has probably been beached along the coast and that the men are safe but have been un- able to communicate with the freighter's agents here, A tug from Quebec, the Canadian government steamer Aranmore and the customs cruiser Conestoga have been ordered to the freighter's aid. It was understood that two govern- ment boats were ordered to the wreck to avoid a repetition of the depredations on a wrecked freighter | from Rochester, N. Y., near the same spot last summer. Local residents ipped the prev ous wreck of everything movable before the arrival of salvage ves- sels. GOES TO SCRANTON Malden, Mass., Oct, 26.—#—Rev. Henry H.
