"We Americans", is from the; stage play of the same name by! Milton Herbert Cropper. and Max1 Seigel. It deals, with the drama! and the humor of a foreign-born family which has migrated to America.

For. correctly or not. pro-Hoover and anti-Hoover leaders have come to believe that Mellon's word will be CooIid.ge's word of counsel to his party. Opposition At Disadvantage No one is more alive to the pos sible consequences of Mr. Mel Ion's course than the captains of the Lowden-Curtis-Watson-Goff alliance, whose almost hourly councils of war are being exhorted by some of the opposition candi dates themselves to submerge every rivalry to the end that Hoo ver may be stopped. Already plans are in the making to get the ear of the Pennsylvanian as soon as he comes to town and impress upon him the argument of the al lies that Hoover cannot command in November the normal republi can vote in those normally repub lican etates that want the McNary Haugen. Farm Aid Overshadowed Thus the fight on Hoover, al though linked directly with the disagreement over a farm relief plank, has almost completely overshadowed it. a As the arriving delegations detrained and put their Jaxs bands and marching clubs Into action today and to night along Kansas City's Oag huag street, there was - only quiet monotone of discussion of the party platform. Only a amall and rather non -vocal vanguard of the much heralded march of i McNary-Haugen farmers has thus far raateriyred. Some ef the farm leaders are here and at work, and in good time they promise plenty of action. Bat for the moment the pre-convention debate is distinctly a debate over men rather than platform declarations. A warning of serious trouble if any one tries to straddle cn the farm issue amanated today from no le? a leader than former Gov ernor Lowden. Within an hour after his arrival In tne convention city and in the middle of a contin uing series of conferences with party leaders Mr. Lowden told newspaper men that he was insist ing that the only solution of the farm problem lay in the equaliza tion fee. twice rejected by Presi dent Coolidge.
