(U »IUBUT KANSAS CITY
dment of Hoover Starts Before and After Convention
Nominates Californian. Unsavory Record Will Be Brought
nji in Hot Presidential Campaign. Third Party May Be
Result of Nomination of Hoover.
Kansas City—(FP)—Even before the practically unanimous
JSon of Herbert Hoover by the republican convention at
SJsas City, his detractors were busy circulating scandal and
«JT points hi his record against him. The alleged Cuban sugar
Lndal was trotted out with insinuations that Hoover made money
jJaTsugar during the world war. Copies were distributed of a
«solution adopted last month by the senate directing its campaign
cpendituies committee to look into charges that Hoover as food
iicütor under Woodrow Wilson kept the entire Cuban sugar crop,
ihich the U. S. Government had purchased at 51 / 2 C a pound, out
0 , ^ American market while the price here was 28c a pound.
of Record Being Mobilized *
Ficts
Hoover's irregular party record, his
Jon» and sometimes mysterious so
journs in foreign lands, his silent as
sociation with the corrupt _ Harding
Coolidge cabinets, his service under
Wilson anti his leaning toward the
league of rations, his boosting for
fall Street and his crushing of the
fanners, his easy hand on the meat
É ers, his help to the coal operators
ig the 1022 strike— these and
many other facts of record are being
Mobilized against him.
Boss Vare Aid Hoover
More damning is the decisive aid
rven by boss Vare in swinging the
Pennsylvania delegation to the can
did-.te and the fact that some of the
most notorious of Harry Daugherty's
lieutenants were among the Hoover
Bankers. Elder Will Hays, the Sin
dair liberty bond peddler, was another
Hoover promoter.
Curtis Successful Jockey
Of Charles L. Curtis, the vice pres
idential nominee from Kansas, there
»little to be said except that he was
ilaithful Coolidge yes-man as senate
majority leader, straying only to vote
for the McNary-Haugen bill because
kknew Cal would veto it. He voted
aiainst overriding the veto. He is of
part Indian blood and was a success
fui jockey in his early days.
No Affection for Labor
The most that could be said for the
labor plank in the platform was said
by delegate William Allen White of
Kansas and he stretched it a lot. "La
1 bor," he said, "was treated with re
ced but not affection. Anything
that looked like social change was re
jetted. The Coolidge and Hoover
forces dictated the platform." White
» the nasty boy on the D. A. R. black
list who told ' director-general Mrs.
Brosseau that her "klan nightie was
Peeping out below her petticoat."

London, June 18.—Amelia Earhart
was too excited on the flight of the
Friendship across the Atlantic to re
lieve Wilmer Stultz at the controls, it
is related in an interview which the
Daily Express says was obtained by
its Burry Port correspondent from
Miss Earhart at the Ashbumum hotel
in that town.
The correspondent relates that she
was so tired that she had difficulty
in keeping her eyes open while she
talked. She kept running her fingers
through her golden hair as she sat on
the corner of a bed in her hotel room
clad in gray sweater, riding breeches
and high boots which she had worn
°n the flight.
After telling of the difficulties of
the start and how the floats of the
plane had been strained by battering
the waves, Miss Earhart is quoted as
saying:
"Once we were up everything was
all right. I spent most of the time in
the rear cabin. It was cold there and
when I got too cold I would go for
ward into the control cabin and sit
beside Mr. Stultz. He navigated and
flew the plane most of the way across
with just a little relief from Gordon.
"I was too excited to do much more
than think of crossing."

Last Sunday afternoon at the Her

a score of 2 to 1 in one of the best
ball games ever seen on the Plenty
wood diamond.
The game was characterized by
heavy hitting and airtight fielding,
For a while it looked like the col
ored boys were going to walk off with
the game by 1 score, but in the eighth
inning Plentywood staged a batting
rally and brought in two runs.
In the first half of the eighth in
ning a dispute arose when a member
of the All Nations raced home on a
high fly caught in left field and was
called out by the base umpire, who
ruled that he left the base before the
ball was in the field's hands. The dis

and it looked as though the All Na

team from the field, but the matter
was finally settled and the game was

»Claude G. Bowers.
Other Penrsonalities
New York editorial
Bowers, a
writer, historian and editor, attracted
great attention by his address at the
last Jackson Day dinner, which is con
sidered a masterpiece. It is believed
this speech led to his selection as the
keynoter. It was beautifully written,
effectively delivered. Everyone is
sure Bowers will surpass himself at
the convention.
Senator Robinson is expected to be
; extremely active at the convention,
I and New York's bright, well-dressed
mayor, Walker, a brilliant, shining
personality if ever there was one, is
expected to put real "pep" into the
proceedings.
William G. McAdoo will he there,
and will, it is believed, play a prom
inent part. And then all will be greet
ed at Houston by Jesse H. Jones, Hou
ston philanthropist, financier and pub
lisher, who became the hero of the
city when he led the fight to have it
selected for the* convention. Jones
has thrown his hat in the ring, too,
as a favorite son of Texas.
Other convention possibilities will
include, among many, John Taggard,
"Big Bill" Brennan and Governor
Moody of Texas. Senator Heflin, the
prominent orator, one of the most
forceful fighters in politics, is ex
pected there, too.
Amongst prominent democrats in
- Plentywood and over the State of
Montana, it is believed that Smith
will receive the nomination on the
first ballot.
