Much Publicity Released PJGE EIGHT ' ' j? ' 1 i Bf BYRON PRICE Chief of Bareatj, the Associated Prena, Washington The Socialist party hopes for great things this year. Its presidential candidate, Mr, Thomas, will make a nation-wide campaign. Headquarters In Chicago Is turning' out copious publicity. Discontented Republicans and Democrats will be welcomed whether they believe In socialism or not. Some are reckoning the 1933 Socialist vote In millions. The party polled 04,768 In 1000 and climbed to 619,700 by 1020, the last year Eugene V. Debs was the nominee.- Then the total dropped and In 1038 was 367,420. Before election dny. the voters may be asked to brush up on International politics In the Far East. The League of Nations commission Investigating the Manchurlan muddle will report this autumn, and Its findings promise , to put the Hoover policy toward Ja pan back Into the headlines. Silent Coolldga A long- time friend of Calvin Cool Idge, who has Just visited htm, thinks the former President will be little Jieard from during the cam paign. No one questions his support of the Republican ticket, but he has Ideas of his own about the golden qualities of silence, particularly for ex-occupants of the White House. Probably' the record of Ooolldge cam paign speeches will approximate that of other campaign years stnoe Mr. Coolldge retired from party leader ship, to wit: In 1028, none; In 1030, one. The recently-formed non-partisan committee which Is parading such names as Ooolldge, Baker and Per shing In the Interest of governmental economy Is attempting one of the world's most difficult Jobs. Govern mental reorganization has been advo cated for years by President Hoover. It probably will be made a prominent Issue by Governor Roosevolt. It Is one of those things everybody Is for, but nobody ever seems able to do much about. Strange Ways of Politics The strange ways of New -York Democratic politics appear to have thrown Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred X. Smith once more Into a sort of alliance against the old guard of the party. They both are counted supporters of Herbert H. Lehman for govvernor whll-j the candidacy of John Byrd Thacher Is mustering support from various county leaders of the eld school who saw their power wane when Smith Introduced at Albany the non-organization regime perpetu ated by Roosevelt. The result will be worth watching. Vlo Donahey's promised return to the political wars In Ohio whets the curiosity of those who would like to know whether champions really ever come back. At the pak of his popu larity, Donahey probably jhad as large an Independent following as any man in the history of Ohio politics. A militant dry, three times elected gov ernor on the Demooratlo ticket, he kept very, .very still In 1028. Now he emerges from retire mnt to supports the Democ ratio state and national tickets. He Is credited with 1034 senatorial ambitions. Eyes On Oklahoma Add Oklahoma to the list of battle actors where the poUtloal cannonad ing will be heaviest this year. Just as New York and Ohio promise to be special storm centers of east and middle west, Oklahoma probably will see the hardest campaigning of the border strip. The state has been Dem ooratlo oftener than Republican In presidential elections but-Wils time the Democrats are divided over ''Al falfa Bill" and his policies and there has been much editorial protest at the Demooratlo repeal plank.

Vacant, staring shop-windows and dusty "For Rent" signs are almost non-existent. One can stroll about the city for hours without meeting a beggar. New automobiles congest the traffic. Yet Czechoslovakia ! fighting hard to maintain her economic equilibri um. Longer than many another coun try she remained comparatively free from unemployment, but now more than 600,000 of her 13,600,000 citizens are Jobless. To balance the budget the sales tax recently was raised to three per cent; the luxury tax is to be increased from 13 per cent to 18. To keep money at home for the support of home Industry, Importa tion of foreign products was made dependent on special permits from a government commission. To prevent citizens from carrying money out of the country In need- loss travel, a limit of 100 was placed on the traveler's purse; this limit then was reduced to $30, making any thing more than a week-end abroad Impossible without permission from the national banc. LOCUSTS EAT CROPS: FILIPINOS EAT PESTS MANILA (AP) Eating the locusts that eat the crops is one solution of the problem of the Insect pest which has been especially destructive this year In the southern Philippines. Thousands of sacks of cooked lo custs have ueen brought here by ln- ter-lsiand steamers snd have found ready aale among fa mill ee of Filipino laborers. Shippers reported that In some In stance the locusts brought more cash than could have been gained from the crops they ate. By BVROM FRICB Chief of Burrmi, the Associated Press, Washington Those who expected the Republic ana to reljr solely on a defensive atti tude during the campaign have found aeveral surprises in President Hoover's speech of acceptance. In conspicuous fuhlon, that speech marked a wide departure from Mr. Hoover'a campaign strategy of four years ago. It la true that long pss aagea were devoted to the glorifica tion of Republican doctrines, after a manner reminiscent of 1928. But on the two most discussed lsauea, the Republican nominee attacked the Democrats both directly and Indi rectly. On the aoora of the depression, he warned repeatedly against "dema gogues" and radical proposala, and sec a whole string of red danger lights against "destructive" Demo cratic tariff policies, treasury "raids" and "wild schemes" of Inflation. In the acore of - prohibition, he charged that the Democratic repeal proposal would bring back the sa loon, attended by ruin, and asked the country to put Its faith Instead In a "sane aolutlon." In other words, Mr. Hoover clearly aet out to brand the opposition aa thoroughly undependable In a crista and thoroughly wet. A Change From 1928 This all aounda very different from the Hoover campaign speeches of 1028, in which the very existence of the Democratic party and candidate were all but ignored. The change la readily understandable when changed political condltlona are taken Into account. Pour years ago the Republican leadera were content to wage a somewhat colorless campaign. It fit ted the tlmea and It fitted the Re publican conviction that if Governor Smith, the Democratic nominee, were left alone, he would b defeated with out much Republican effort. Smith made himself the Issue, and polltl clana agree that thousands Just went out and voted "against Smith." This year circumstances and the hammering of a never-sleeping Demo crat lo .headquarters In Washington nave in a large measure made Mr. Hoover the issue. Rightly or wrongly, his administration has become olosely linked In many minds with the de pression. The Demooratlo managers are hoping that If they themselves make no major blunders, millions will go out and vote "against Hoover." Obviously, the Republicans have no Intention of placing that end of the game If they can avoid It. O. O. P. on Offensive The way to avoid It, the Repub lican managers think, Is not only to defend what Mr. Hoover haa done, but to take the aggressive along the prin cipal aallenta of the campaign. Some of this had come out before; Mr. Hoover's epeech emphasised It and put an authority behind it which la sure to have great effeot in shap ing the- utterancea of lesser Repub lican lights from now on. . How far It will ohange Vie Demo cratic plan doee not yet appear. The Roosevelt leaders will not be diverted easily from their desire to keep the Republicans on the defensive, al though, of course, they will take steps at once to divest themselves of the labels Mr. Hoover has aought to at tach to them. However. It comes out, the line of atrategy Indicated In Mr. Hoover'a speech Is sura to heighten publls In terest )n the campaign, because the publlo does not like to see all of the blow struck by on side. , Airport Located On Indian Graves 6 AN RAPABL, Oal.
