Changes Its tactics As President Launches Offensive By Byron Price -(Chief of Bureau. The Associated Press, Washington) Those who expectfed the Republi cans to rely solely oh a defensive at titude during the campaign have found several surprises in President Hoover's speech of acceptance, . In conspicuous fashion, that speech marked a wide departure from Mr. Hoover's campaign strategy of lour years ago. Jt Is true that long pas sages were devoted to the giorlflcai tlou of Republican doctrines, after d manner reminiscent of 1928. But on the two most -discussed issues, the Republican nomlhee attacked the De moo rate both directly and indi rectly. On the score of the depression, he warned repeatedly against ( ''demago gues" and radical proposals, and set a whole string of , red danger lights against , "destructive" Democratic tariff policies, treasury "raids," and "wild schemes of inflation. On the scare of prohibition, he charged that the Democratic repeal proposal would bring back the saloon, attended by ruin, and asked the country to put its faith instead tn a "sane solution." In other Words, Mr, Hoover clear ly set but io brand the opposition rir. thordughly undefendable in a crisis and thoroughly wet. A rilAMlI? FltOM M2A This all sounds very different from thb Hoover campaign speeches of 1028, in which the very existence of the Democratic party and candidate were all but ignored. The change Is readily understandable - when changed political conditions are taken into account. S Four years ago, the Republican leaders Were content to Wage a some what colorless campnign, It fitted the times, and it fitted the Republi can conviction that it Governor Smith, the Democratic nominee, were left alone, he would be defeated without much Republican effort. Smith made himself the issue, and politicians agree that hundreds of thousands just went out and voted "against Smith:" This year circumstances and the hammering of ft never-sleeping Dem ocratic headquarters li Washington have in targe - measure ,macle Mr. Hoover the Issue. Rightly or wrong ly, his administration has become closely linked In many .minds with the depression. The Democratic man agers are hoping that ir they them selves make no mAJor blunders, mil lions will go out and vote "against Hoover." Obviously, the Republicans have no intention of playing that end of the game if they can .avoid It. (J. O. P. ON OtTRNHlVE j The way to avoid It, itho Republi can managers think. .Li not only to. defend what Mr. Hoover has done, j but to take the aggressive along the (principal salients of the campaign ' front. ' Some of this had come out be- i fore; Mr. Hoover's speech emphasized it and put fin authority behind It which is sure to have great effect in shaping the utterances of lesser Republican tights from now on. I How far It will change the Demo cratic plans does not yet appear. The Roosevelt leaders will not be diverted easily from their desire to keep the Republicans on the defen sive, although, of course, they will take steps nt once to divest them selves of the labels Mr. Hoover has sought to attach to -them. I However, it comes out. the line of strategy indicated In Mr. Hoover's speech is sure to heighten public In terest In the campaign, because the public does not like to see all of the blows struck by one side. Ladybird and th- Sun In India and Kgypt the ladybird has been associated from . earliest tlmea with the sun, and a compari son of the many verslurm of the nursery rhyme which still exist In Englnnd and In various Ivuropean countries yields a similar result. rWm.

IS ON THE OUTSIDE OT i(S 6o0y , Bonus Payment Plan Approved By Legion Men OAKLAND. Cal., Aug. 18 (JP) The California department of the Ameri can Legion voted Its approval of the plan for immediate cash payment of the soldiers bonus at the annual atato convention yesterday. The legionnaires also demanded re peal of the state's prohibition en forcement act In a 12-word resolution "That this convention go on record favoring repeal of the Wright act." Tfyo convention not bitTy reiterated the sentiment expressed by California legionnaires at -lost year's convention, but ordered its delegates to the na tional convention at Portland, Ore., td seek to place tho national organ ization on record behind the plan. It further- Instructed its -delegates to endeavor to have tho national con vention turn over to its legislative committee the task of framing legis lation td provide "Immediate cash payment of all certificates" Issued to the veterans. Other resolutions provided: That tho Portland convention bo requested to condemn the practice of legion posts in selling benefit tickets In the domain of another department, without the department's consent. Th'at tho legion establish a. na tional committee for aeronautics. That the national convention re cord the manner In which all dele gates vote on subjects on which the delegates are given a mandate by their home departments. This WttS brought up as a result of the crit icism of the California delegation's vote at -last year's national conven tion against Immediate payment of the bonus In the face of a mandate from tho state convention. iH,li;it IHNAl'I'UOVKK PORTLAND, Aug. 18 m Gover nor Meier Wednesday implied disap proval of Governor Rolph's plan to pay the soldiers' bonus In full by bonding states. , "In as far as I know," he said, "none of the veterans' organizations, of Oregon haa considered the proposal recommended by Governor Rolpu. "The state of Oregon has teeucd $30,000,000 worth of bonds for pay ment of cash lionuses and loans to 1 veterans. Additional bonds could be authorized only by vote of the peo-; "We are now struggling to lessen' the bonded Indebtedness which adds heavily to our tox burden, i doubt whether the voterons' groups would ask the people of Oregon to place an additional burden on the credit of the state in order to make 'advances on a federal obligation." No Royal Road Moving along the line of least re sistance Is not the royal road to anything worth while. Insight, grusp and self-tnnfltery come rnthcr by doing hard Jobs.
