"Always," he replied, adding that Davis was particularly opposed to the "punch-board method. Giles was asked to describe the new methods mentioned in Davis' convention speech. Miller, he said, centralized the agencies for raising funds. "In 1929 did Mr. Miller occupy position within the order?" he was asked. "Yes. He was secretary of the general assembly." The propagation department was the name under wlilch Miller oper ated for the 1930 charity ball but not before, Giles said.

His assertions regarding the president s plans were taken as del initely closing that possibility. The president is going to have a hard time uving up to the standard set in Ills speech of acceptance, Mills said. '1 think any speaker can say about all he has to say in three or four speeches, and after that he begins to repeat himself." Mills said he and the president had gone over the campaign "pretty thoroughly."

HOOVER NOT TO TOUR NATION Washington. Sept. 21 U Presi dent Hoover has won his fight against anxious republican advisers wno wanted him to make a country wide speaking tour. He will make the first of three major speeches for re-election on October 4 at Dec Moines, la. The president has definitely and finally decided against stumping the nation in a belated personal appeal to the voters, political ob servers close to the chief executive are convinced. The brief announcement of his Des Moines address said "The presi dent will return immediately to Washington after his speech. He will make no other addresses en route. Time and place of other addresses have not yet been ar ranged." The statement. Issued by Chair man Everett Sanders of the repub lican national committee, Indicated he had taken the advice of Secre tary of the Treasury Mills to hold to his original plan of three speech- The president feels his Job Is here in Washington during the ec onomic stress. Rumors persisted that the presi dent might yet decide at the last moment to hurry across the contin ent to his home in Palo Alto, Ca! to vote on Nov. 8. The reports, however, were denied at the White House. The selection of Des Moines was regarded as a strategic move one designed to placate the east and far west by selecting a neutral point at which to begin his fight. Furthermore. Des Moines is not only regarded as neutral ground, sense, but is not far from West Branch, la., where the presi dent was born. It has, therefore, something of sentiment to back its selection as the spot for him to open his appeal for support. It was conceded his address would touch on farm problems. Persons close to the president insisted that it would not be altogether a "farm speech, but that the chief execu tive would discuss broadly the ec onomlc problems facting the nation, Meanwhile, other administration henchmen were given their final instructions and set out on speak ing tours. V::ce -President Charles Curtis left for speaking engage ments in Tennessee, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Kentucky. To night he speaks in Knoxville, Tenn. Later he may go to the Pacific coast. Secretary of the Treasury Mills and Secretary of War Hurley like wise are leaving for speaking en gagements in Detroit and Chicago, respectively.

NEW ELECTRIC RATES ENJOINED IN U. S. COURT Charles M. Thomas, public utilities commission, today received notice of the appeal filed In Portland by Uie Northwestern Electric company from his order reducing rates of electric service. The appeal was filed with the federal court and claims the order confiscatory, Thomas said. A temporary restraining order re quested by the company to prevent the reduction of 10 percent going Into effect October 1. accompanied the appeal. Thomas announced the arguments on tne restraining order would be heard Monday, September 26. Thomas' order was Issued several weeks ago following an investigation of the company s services and charges. Late yesterday Thomas addressed letter to the Portland city council criticising the "scrvice-at-cost" pro posed franchise for the street rail way system of that city. Thomas de clared the proposed franchise vio lates every recommendation con valned in his previous order reduc ing the fares on the lines of the Portland Traction company from 10 to 7 cents. The public utilities commissioner said that because he believed the council and the traction company would follow the recommendations of the order the commission has ob jected to bus franchises in Portland on the ground they would interfere with the working out of a construc tive program outlined. The traction company had appealed from the or der and the federal court upheld the 10 cent fare. Referring to the proposed "service at cost" franchise, Thomas charac terised it as "merely a subterfuge snuarely in conflict with the order in all its essentials. It is indefens ible from every conceivable angle so far as the public is concerned Its enactment will only result in making a deplorable situation worse. GIVEN COMFORT BY WISCONSIN Indianapolis. Sept. 21 Mi Sena tor James E. Watson of Indiana, in a statement issued today, de clared the result of the Wisconsin primary "is evidence of the fact that people favor stability and stabilized conditions here as else where." 'In Germany,' Watson said, "after years of suffering and pri vation far worse than we have ever known, the people rose to the occasion and elected Hlndenburg by an overwhelming majority evincing their desire to stand by fixed principles of government rather than run astray after false gods and erroneous conceptions of administration. "In England, which country has been through a far greater depres sion than we have experienced, the sturdy English character was most strikingly manliest In the election of MacDonald and his own conver sion conservatism. This has shown Itself in practi cally every election held in this country where an opportunity for such expression has been given. "This Is strikingly manifest In the Wisconsin election where the LaPollette regime, dominant in Wisconsin politics for forty years, was overthrown by conservatism all along tne line," GENERAL HINDS SEES TREND TO HOOVER Cheyenne.
