ATEDFORT) MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDFORP, OREGON, TT7FSDAY, MAT 10, 1932. PAGE THREE WILL BE PLAYED Prosperity, Tariff and Prohi bition Due for Heavy Dis- . cussion Hoover to Be Center Much Argument By Byron Price, (Chief of Bureau, The Associated , Press, Washington.) Although It 1s too early by weeks to attempt a complete catalog of the campaign Issues of 1932, It now can be predicted safely that the vot ers will hear much about three old acquaintances prosperity, the tariff and prohibition. If early spring signs mean any thing, the argument will run some thing like this: The Democrats will accuse presi dent Hoover of weakness, procrasti nation and large-scale blundering with respect to the depression, and will assert that events have exploded once and for all the boasts that the Republican party Is the party of prosperity. The Republicans will praise the President for having kept the coun try's soil and body together at all In a time of world-wide distress, and will thank Providence that no Democrat was In the White House In such an hour. Tariff Issue to Come Up. The Democrats will blame the present Republican tariff for dislo cations at home and loss of prestige abroad, and will ask that the Presi dent be shorn of his one-man power over rate changes. The Republicans will declare their tariff policies have helped greatly In present crisis, will defend the presi dential rate-changing prerogative, and will argue It would be dangerous to both Industry and labor to put tariff-making Into Democratic hands The Democrats, either through their patform or their candidate, or both, will ridicule the Hoover pro- hlbltlon regime, and bid in one way or another for the support of oppo nents of the dry laws. The Republicans may -conceivably make some concessions to the wets, but they will try valiantly to retain the support of those dry elements who now are threatening to bolt. Doubtless other Issue will be heard from, too, although some of the fav orites, such as taxation and foreign relations, seem to have been read out of the campaign by bi-partisan action In congress. The sure starters, as of today, are the three named above, and each of these three may be expected to kick up a lot of dust on the way to the finish line. Hoover Faces Attack. The debate over what has been done and what has not been done for economic recovery, of course, will cover a lot of territory. From the moratorium to the re construction finance corporation, the Hoover leadership will be assailed as halting and tardy, moved to ac tion only at the last minute, when direct necessity applied the lash Farm relief, unemployment, and many other collateral Issues will fur nish talking points In the general dispute. The Republicans are making elab orate preparations to combat this at tack. They will picture to the coun try a President beset by pressure day and night and without holiday to ' avert catastrophe, seeking advice everywhere, and doing all that mor tal man could do. Tariff Front Changed. The tariff dispute will present a situation greatly revised since the old days when the Republicans con stituted the party of protection and the Democrats stood together for a tariff for revenue only. Recently many Democrat have being voting for Republican tariff bills. The Democrats In the present congress have put through a bill de claring a general policy of readjust ment, but refraining from that sort of unrestrained denunciation which frightens business. The Issue Is most clearly joined on the question of continuing the presi dential authority to raise and lower rates; although It is a somewhat technical subject, the voter will be asked to study and understand It. Parties Spilt on Dry Issue. Only the most general of tenden cies are yet apparent with respect to prohibition. Both parties are divided, but It Is worth noting that the modification lata are centering their efforts vig orously toward a referendum or modi cation plank In the Democratic platform, while the drys apply most of thler pressure on the Republicans. Furthermore, It seems certain that on the presidential roll calls at Chi cago at least nine out of every ten Democratic delegates will vote for one candidate or another who favors a change, and at least nine of every ten Republicans will support Presi dent Hoover, whose attitude has been accepted In the past as satisfactory to the organised drys. Finally, It Is well to remember that this la one Issue to which things may continue to happen and prob ably will right up to election day. $2000 Cold Ingot Discovered Neath Old Shed Floor LEWISTON.
