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.

LOCUSTS EAT CROPS:

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.

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. ,
