•on, propaganda, chief of the power
lobby, to James 8. Bean, member of
the Pennsylvania Public Service
Commission. shews:
"I would respectfully suggest that
the commission in Pennsylvania em
phasize the need for a standard text
book on economics and civics for use
in the public schools. Only by otter
ing a proper alternative textbook can
several school heads be induced to
change from the.existing books or
be persuaded to urge their revision.
“Perhaps a committee of experts
in each State or in the United
States might be apppinted by the
National Association of Railroad
and Utility Commissions to go into
the matter and assemble textbook
data. This bureau and similar bu
reaus 19 36 Other States can be
made ample use of by such a
committee.”
New Textbooks Written
The emphasis which the power
magnates placed upon their educa
tion propaganda was shown in an
other batch of documents placed
before the Federal Trade Commis
sion, revealing tho methods by
which courses in public utilities
economics were established at the
University of Colorado and how
new textbooks were written, de
signed to protect the juvenile mind
from alleged “socialistic propa
ganda.”
The drafting of a "model public
utilities law,” which was designed
to obviate all possibility of trouble
with the State commissions in the
event of changes in state admin
istrations, was proposed by power
magnates in the Rocky Mountain
States.
Tho American Gm Association
and the National Electric Light As
sociation were called in as con
sultants to frame such an act,
which was pressed before the leg
islatures of various States.

contributed to It, as did Mark
JVoods, Nebraska farmer-capitalist.
Hoover Friends Ired
Tho defeatist campaign angered
and perturbed tho Hoover mana
i gers.
"We shall continue to fight this
[ battle until the candidate of the
, people i« nominated," asserted James
W. Good, the Hoover generalissimo,
> when confronted with them.
"Wo realise that Hoover’s nomi
: nation means a continued lease of
’ life to tho Republican party.
i "This apparently is a campaign
i within the party, and we for our
■ part have struck no blows below
. the belt.”
i There are about a« many prac
tical politicians and convention
* strategists in the Hooper camp as
s there are in the allies' line-up—men
’ like Senator George H. Moses of
►Nsw Hampshire, Senator Simeon <*
Fess of Ohio, C. Bascom Slemp of
Virginia, Ralph William of Oregon,
vice chairman of the Republican
national committee; James W. Good
at lowa. Ex-Gov. James F. Good- ’
rich of Indiana, and a number of
others long skilled m the tactics
and strategy of political conven
tions.
Good, In a statement designed :
to reassure any wavering ones in j
the Hoover camp, declared today I
that tho Hoover delegates now num- 1
ber “more than 600, not counting )
any of Pennsylvania's TO.” j
"To nominate requires 545,” sayt <
Good. "The nomination of Mr. 1
Hoover is now a foregone conclusion. 1
"Good Republicans in this hour
will not say or do anything that will 4
impair the party’s chances of victory
in November.” _ ]
Thia last was a thrust at the do- '
featist talk the allies have been J
pursuing so energetically in Kansas «
City and in Washington the talk ,
that Hoover will lose the disgruntled 1
grain belt in November and that ho 1
cannot defeat Al Smith in the East.
The Hoover managers are complain- g
ing that this is "hitting below the |
belt” and giving ahi and comfort to j
the enemy. |
Battle of Statements J
Both sides are shooting out “farm 1
statements” with regularity and pro- J
eision. Tho allies issue one state- 1
ment from a prominent farm organ!- ■
nation leader asserting that tho Mid
dle West win bolt tho ticket in No
vember if Hoover is nominated.
It is admittedly not an encourag
ing outlook from tho coalition c
point of view. But Lowden men,
Dawes men, Watson men, Curtis
men, Coolidge-or-bust men, Gott
men—everyone, in fact, who regards M
the nomination of Herbert Hoover wj#
with gloom and foreboding—are part |
and parcel of the movement.
Each Names • Spokesman z
It would perhaps bo too much to 4
say that tho allies have perfected
an organisation. They have met
and conferred, not once, but many
times, and they have agreed upon
spokesmen to represent each individ
ual candidate. Louis L. Emerson
will speak for Lowden, Henry W.
Marshall represents Watson, Albert $
Newman will look after the intbr- ,
ests of Senator Curtis, William H.
Miller of Ohio represents tho anti-
Hoover element in that State, which
is favorable to Dawes. k
These men will be floor lieuten
ants in the convention, but their
principals, that is, tho candidates
themselves, will constitute the board
of strategy behind tho scenes. Theirs
will bo the task of determining how
this "anybody but Hoover—anything
to stop Hoover”plan is to bo accom
plished—if at all.
Thus far there has been little defl- J
nltely decided upon except tho unity v
and purpose of goal.
They have agreed: ’
To carry the delegate contests, in
volving some 65 votes which Hoover <
won overwhelmingly, to tho creden
tials committee and perhaps to the
floor of tho conventton itself.
To buttonholo incoming delegatee .
and tho lukewarm ones in the Hoover
camp for tho purpose of converting
them.
To pursue diligently and vigor
ously tho defeatist campaign which
aims to convince tho practical poll- 4
ticians of the party that Hoover
cannot bo elected against Al Smith 4
In November.
But the deep strategy and tho J
higher tactics remain to be dster- ’
mined.
