G. 0. P. 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.

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. Rolling down
hill on green grass does not develop
robust enduring, effective manhood
as does climbing the Alps over
loose rock and rugged snow-fields.
