HOOVER ENTERS OHIO PRIMARY: FACES BATTLE Secretary Authorizes Use of Name on Ohio Ballot; See Bitter Fight. CHALLENGE TO WILLIS Cautions Against Spending Huge Fund; Backs Coolidge Policies. (Continued From Page 1) hands off the situation and let the convention work out its own destiny. With Hoover remaining at his cabinet post, the pre-convention campaign is expected to be chiefly an organization affair. He may make a few speeches now and then but will not officially take the stump. Headquarters, however, are expected to be open for him soon in the more important cities of the country, and an educational campaign will be undertaken. Hoover himself indicated that his primary campaign slogan will be ' Carry forward the principles of the Republican party and the great objective of President Coolidge’s policies.” His friends intend to stress his sympathy with power projects, flood control works, waterways development and business improvement. His opponents intend to base thencampaign on his opposition to the equalization fee system of farm relief as embodied in the McNaryHaugen bill and the oft-repeated charge that he worked abroad so long as engineer and later during the war, that he is not sufficiently in close touch with American problems. Regarded as Dry He has always been regarded as dry. One of his first acts as a candidate is expected to be a public answer to a letter from Senator Borah of Idaho asking what Hoover’s stand would be toward prohibition enforcement and a bone dry platform plank. In his letter Hoover did not specify which States other than Ohio he would enter, but his friends said .he surely would go into the primaries of Michigan, California, Oregon, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maryland and perhaps some others. He indicated he would continue as secretary of commerce in the Coolidge Cabinet, and would not make an active personal campaign in Ohio. Five Candidates in Race The announcement brought five prominent candidates into the struggle for the Republican nomination —Hoover, Lowden, Willis, Watson and Curtis. Hoover’s most formidable national opponent generally is agreed to be former Governor Lowden of Illinois ’ "ho has filed for the primary of his oome State—a step which is rearded as an informal announcement. Willis, Watson of Indiana and Curtis of Kansas, generally are rearded as favorite sons who can aunt on the immediate support of -.eir home States only. They are ot regarded as favoring the Hoover andidacy.

The Hoover letter announcing his entry into the Ohio presidential primary is as follows: “My Dear Colonel Brown—“I have received, through you and others, requests from very many Republicans of Ohio that I permit my name to be entered in the presidential primaries of that State. I do so. “I shall be honored deeply by whatever support the people of Ohio may decide to give me at the Republican national convention. I shall be glad to serve the American people through the Republican party. “My obligations as Secretary of Commerce preclude me from making any personal campaign. I must rely wholly upon my friends in Ohio to conduct it in a fair manner and with steadfast regard for Republican success in the State and the Nation. It is my special desire that expenditure of money i shall be strictly limited and rigidly accounted for. “If the greatest trust which can be given by our people should come to me, I should consider it my duty to carry forward the principles of the Republican party and the great objectives of President Coolidge’s policies—all of which have brought to our country such a high degree of happiness, progress and security. “Yours faithfully, “HERBERT HOOVER.” ARREST DRIVER AFTER CRASH James Phillips, Injured Badly, Held for Being Drunk.

SLACK POINTS ! TO CITY’S NEED OF ‘PLUG’ HATS Community Always Should Be Well Dressed, Mayor Tells Civic Leaders. “Indianapolis needs more plug hats,” said Mayor L. Ert Slack today at the first annual civic day luncheon at the Claypool under Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce auspices. About 600 representative citizens filled the Riley room. Slack declared every one admires good appearances ahd pointed out a city should be “well dressed for qm-y occasion,” the same as individuals. “The modest home or flivver excites as much pride in their owner as does a mansion or limousine in their owner. We need to build up pride in all these things which go to make up a great city. We need plug hats,” Slack said. Work for City’s Good Elevation of all tracks on thoroughfares: bathing beaches along Fall Creek; replacement of street car track with up to date bus service and rapid transit service on elevated lines were included in Slack’s “dream for Indianapolis.” Slack urged cititzens to support the forces that are working for the city’s good and ignore rumors which are demoralizing the city. “The fact that Indianapolis has been humiliated, embarrassed and injured by a collapse of its municipal government is not in itself the sole cause of alarm,” Charles W. Jewett, former mayor, another principal speakei, declared. “The fact that apathy exists on the part of our citizenship toward the institution of government in civic problems, involving the political, social and industrial welfare of our community is not in itself the cause of our apprehension. Definite Program Needed “The underlying cause is the lack of a definite Indianapolis policy and program, comprehensive in its scope, approved and adhered to by its citizenship, sponsored and backed by the multitudes of organizations which today are spending their efforts in a multitude of undertakings without the centralized direction of fixed management behind a definite program of action.” Jewett urged the working out of a plan at once in praparation for the city manager form of government. Dick Miller, Chamber of Commerce president, who served as chairman, made an appeal for the forming of a definite cooperative spirit. RACER JO FLORIDA Frank Lockhart Will Try to Break Speed Mark.
