SEPT. 28, 1932_ NO BALM FOR HOOVER FOUND IN NORTHWEST Last-Minute ‘Horseshoe’ Is About Ail That Could Save Him Electoral Vote. By Srripps-H mrard X ctctpapcr Alliance CHEYENNE. Wyo., Sept. 28 There is no balm for the Hoover administration and the Republican party in the great northwest. The states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, with a total of nineteen elec toral votes, generally are conceded now to Governor Roosevelt. To this list the Democrats add the five electoral votes of Oregon, the eight of Washington, and pos sibly California’s twenty-two. Unless rising prices or a last-min ute “Hoover horseshoe,” as they say out here, comes to the aid of the Republicans, the far west is ex pected to land in the Democratic column Nov. 8. These states have suffered from the depression with peculiar force, they have not liked the Hoover policies, and they always have given a large vote to a candidate bearing the progressive label, whether he was Democrat or Republican. Insurgency has grown here. None of the prominent Republicans, in cluding Senators Gerald P. Nye of Ncyt.h Dakota, Peter Norbeck of South Dakota, William Borah of Idaho and Hiram Johnson of Cali fornia, has lifted a hand for Presi dent Hoover. Some of them are hostile to him. Who’ll Introduce Pat? When War Secretary Patrick Hur ley visited South Dakota en route to the American Legion convention there was a debate between Nor betk and the Governor as to who should introduce him. “It is your duty to introduce a member of the President’s cabinet,” said the Governor to the senator. “Not on your life," said Norbeck, or words to that effect, as he dis cussed political etiquette—and ex pediency. "The Governor of the great commonwealth of South Da kota should do the introducing.” But the Governor would not—or did not—and “Pete” finally did the honors. But he said nary a word about Hurley’s “chief." Nye Disregards Hoover In North Dakota, which is more independent even than South Da kota, Senator Nye is saying noth ing about the President, whom he has opposed on most major policies. Nye has promised progressive col leagues that he will not aid the G. O. P. Like Norbeck, Nye is certain to win, and largely because of his anti- Hoover record. If any of these states goes Re publican, it most is likely to be Wyoming, but, even there, the Re publicans have little hope of saving its four electoral votes. Republicans in Idaho are devot ing most of their efforts to re electing Senator John Thomas, who is opposed by Mayor Pope of Boise, and to sending Representatives Ad dison TANARUS, Smith and Burton French back to the house. Oregon and Washington have shown independent and Democratic sentiment for many years, but especially in 1930 and in this year’s primaries. California Is Puzzle On subjects as prohibition, pub lic utilities and foreign affairs, the people are in disagreement with the administration, and Governor Roosevelt had tremendous crowds in his swing through these states and Montana. The Republicans’ chief hope is to re-elect Senator Frederick Steiwer of Oregon and Wesley L. Jones, arch-dry, of Washington Reports that California might go Democratic were discounted until recently, but there are many fac tors believed to be aiding the Democrats. Democratic registration and their vote in the primary have raised hopes of a change. Senator Hiram Johnson's indorse ment of Roosevelt, and his attack on Hoover, are expected to be taken as signals to his followers* to cut the head of the ticket. BURIED AUTO IS FOUND # Tracks I.ead to Finding of Mystery Car on Farm Near San Pierre. Discovery of automobile tracks leading to a pile of freshly dug dirt on a farm near San Pierre has led to the finding of a buried automo- , bile, according to Grover C. Garrott I state police chief.

HOOVER MOVES TO EASE FARM DEBT BURDEN Acts to Help Borrowers Whb Can’t Pay Seed and Feed Loans. By T'nited Pro** WASHINGTON, Sept. 28—Presi dent Herbert Hoover today took an active lead in plans for bringing financial relief to farmers and home owners. After announcing a plan to ease the debt burden on farmers, who have received crop production loans, Mr. Hoover conferred with Gardner Cowles of the Reconstruction 'Fin ance Corporation concerning a con ference called to meet at Chicago Thursday on the mortgage situa tion. The seed and feed loan plan will permit the department to accept only 25 per cent of the amount due on such loans, no further payment being required until congress acts to define terms for payment of the remaining 75 per cent. The White House statement on the farmers’ predicament empha sized that the low prices for wheat now prevailing made it “practically impossible” for farmers to repay the crop production loans “without in curring grave risk of need during the winter.” S3OO LOOT AT DAIRY Twelve Are Menaced With Pitsols as Drivers’ Receipts Are Taken.

By Times Special CHICAGO, Sept. 28.—Joe Brezina. 250-pound district supervisor of the Cook county (Illinois) forest pre serve, loves and cares for his beech trees as if they were his children. Today Joe was giving delegates to the eighth annual convention and field meeting of the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes regional confer ence of park executives a convinc ing demonstration of his love. He was telling how an Italian with his family drove into the pre serve one day aand refused to park in the allotted space. The Italian drove his car over the roots of one of the beeches Joe loves. A heated argument ensued, and finally Joe crunched his 250 pounds down on the Italian's toes by step ping on them. “Watza idea?” the Italian demanded agrily. Said Joe: "You see that tree? Well, you run your car on its toes and it hurts. But the tree can not speak. Same thing as I do to you. only you can cry out. Get the point?” The Italian did, and now they are fast friends. Today, Joe was retelling the story to delegates with graphic illustra tions involving the corns of his lis teners. * Under the guidance of Charles G. Sauers, Chicago, preserve superin tendent and former assistant of the Indiana conservation department, the delegates visited the Cook coun ty preserves and learned how this 33.000 acres of woodland has been converted into a perpetual play ground for some 4,000,000 Chicago ans. This wooded area completely sur rounds the windy city on the land side and forms a counter-attrac tion to Lake Michigan. Dance Head l|r 'W Courtland C. Cohee Courtland C.
