iSira G. 0. P. Presidential Candi date Puts finishing Touch es To Speech STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cat, Asg. 3. (AP) Herbert Hoover had unburdened himself tonight of tbe Ions and arduous task of pre paring tbe address which hejs to deliver here a week from tomor row formally accepting the repub lican nomination for president. The com Dieted draft of the speech, which makes about 6000 words, or fire full columns of newspaper type, was sent back to the printer late in the day after the nominee had labored all day with it. assisted at times by Wil 11am J. Donovan, assistant to the , U. 8. attorney general and fore most in Hoover's council of advfs- ers. With the address out of the way the republican candidate prepared 'for a week end of rest and recrea tion. It was stated that he would leave here soon after noon to morrow for the grove far beyond Baa Francisco bay to the north where the Bohemian club of the Golden oate city win stage us a-n anal play; NandaM tomorrow night In a sylvan theater. Hoover long has been a member of this clab. Meetings Planned The commerce secretary had no engagements for tomorrow; but his time next week will be taken with a series of meetings with party leaders who will begin ar riving here for the notification ceremonies In the Stanford sta dlam. These will include Chair man Work and other members of the national committee; members of the notification committee of which Senator Mosea of New Hampshire and Secretary of War Dwight Davis and Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur. With the acceptance address finally completed, a variety of forecasts as to what the candidate will say on farm relief, prohibition and a camber of other questions f the hour were being made but admittedly there was an entire lack of concrete information as the) substance as well as the text f the Address has been carefully guarded by Hoover and those who nave been assisting him. What Will He Rat? Here In California chief interest renters around whether the nom I see win nave anything to say about the power Industry, a sub ject which Senator Hiram W. Johnson has made the big issue in his campaign for reelection. There Is no doubt that the senator desired to have Hoover come out strongly against the operations of tH organisations which he con tends have spent large sums of money to block Boulder dam legis lation. There have been Indica tions that the O. O. P. standard bearer did not take kindly to such a suggestion as the republican platform was silent on that sub ject, i tn opening his campaign In the southern part of the state, John son let fire upon the power aspo rtation and told an audience at Los Angeles yesterday that no man was too big to make a clean cut declaration on the subject of the operations of the utility associa tions. Declare Support Johnson has publicly declared In support of the republican presi dential ticket, but there b little doubt that he aud the national party leaders are at variance-on this as well as some other Issues in the campaign. Arrangements for the notifies-, tlon ceremonies here, which are under the direction of a committee la San Francisco, practically have been completed and plans have been laid for handling a crowd which will tax the 100,000 capac ity of the huge concrete bowl. The railroads are to put on special trains from various parts of the state, as well as from the north ern and Rocky mountain areas and thousands are expected to make the journey to Palo Alto by auto mobile. While there Is some doubt tn the salads of many that the stadium will be filled to capacity, they ex pressed confidence that the audi ence which Hoover will face will be the largest that ever has at tended a similar ceremony In the history of the country. - G.O.

Progress Noted Some progress In this direction has already been made. . : Mr. McConkle's address dealt principally with the history and development of the tin can and the canning Industry. Fifteen years ago in Hull. England, a banuet was held at which ail foods served were 81 years or more old. Efforts to preserve ordinarily perishable foods were made In man's early history, but the present method was adopted only about 128 years ago. ; . , , . Napoleon, Bonaparte and the Na poleonic wars really gave rise to this development, the speaker said for the emperor, seeking a way to rout scurvy among his sea war riors, asked his government to of fer a prise for the best method de vised for preserving fresh vegeta- oies ua omer iooaa. - ' A man named Appere won the arise bv adapting the principle of sterilisa tion and nermetlcal aealinr al ready pointed out by Paateur. Method Fond Glass waa used at first, an Eng If V a . usuinau aereioping me tin can a year later. In the early history of me industry in the United States, the cans were made by hand; one machine now makes as many as 2000 experts could make at that time. The better method was needed, for now the output of canned foods Is something over a billion and one-half cans, and constantly Increasing. Although this figure looks large, the consumption of canned foods In the United States la only about one can a week per person, snowing that the Industry has not yet approached the satura tion point.

The remainder of the hearing will be given over to the case of the. railroads In oppo sition to rate reductions asked by the public service commission of Oregon and various farm organ. izations. The final day of the differen tial debate was enlightened by the appearance of Vancouver, Wash., as an active ally of Portland, and by the attack of L. S. Mclntyre. traffic manager of the Seattle chamber of commerce, on Port land's principal witnesses. He found fault with comparisons of distances in the testimony of W. A.- Curtln. manager of the Port land traffic and transportation association, and similar testimony 01 A. H. Harvel. rate emert of the Oregon public service com. mission. Charges Partiality . Fred R. Brown.- manager of the Port of Vancouver, charged that the department of public works of Washington was partial to Pu- get Sound and thereby hurt Van couver and Clark county. It was Mr. Brown who placed Vancouver In the Portland ranks in the dif ferential fight He read into the record a precise statement of Vancouver's position which said: "The Columbia river gateway Is the only water gap at practic ally ses., level through the moun tain barrier that separates the great intermountain grain grow ing region from ports of - trans shipment between Canada and Mexico, and the people living within the Columbia Basin are certainly entitled to the benefits to be derived therefrom as a re ward for their good judgment in electing to settle there. Benefits JTasttfled "They are fully justified in ex pecting benefits from such a na tural situation." "We feel that a restoration of parity la freight rates would in Its economic effects be tantamount to filling np the Columbia river gateway, of denying its existence, and of nullifying its benefits to the Interior, and at the same time Paget 8ound communities are discussing a great tunnel un der the Cascade mountains, a man-made substitute which can only approximate its results and at a tremendous cost." and ' ' " - mm California Sends iMost Tourists Yesterday afternoon a touring ear with a Nebraska license drove through town with this caption painted on the rear curtain: ."You sing 'America": why not see it?" e - - Calif ornians apparently are fol lowing this advice to some extent, if indications point truly.
