HOOVER WILL START TOUR TONIGHT

NOMINEE WILL VISIT 7 CITIES IN CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Speech to Be Highlight in Whirlwind 24-Hour Trip. READY TO START EAST Farm Views Will Be Told at Ceremonies in West Branch, lowa. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent PALO ALTO, Cal., Aug. 16.—Herbert Hoover will close up his campus tonight and get out on the stump to set about winning the West. The special train which is to bear him in a roundabout way back to Washington will leave here at 10 p. m. for southern California for a whirlwind 24-hour tour through seven cities in that area—San Jose, Santa Barbara, Glendale, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Pasadena and San Bernardino. His first stump speech of the campaign is to be made Friday on the steps of the city hall at Los Angeles, where his friends say he is prepared to discuss briefly the mooted Boulder Dam issue. It is this issue about the building of a giant power, irrigation and flood control dam in the Colorado River which means so much to the people of southern California and which Senator Hiram Johnson has been usir~ there in his campaign for reelection. Intensive Campaign Tour Back across the country from Los Angeles an intensive campaign tour has been arranged for him, contrasting to his quiet trip west, when he declined to discuss issues prior to his acceptance speech and when Republican leaders along the route allowed him to remain in seclusion because of the then recent death of his father-in-law. The big ceremony of the trip back to Washington will be staged at West Branch, lowa, his birthplace, and Cedar Rapids, near by. He will make a farm speech at West Branch Tuesday night in a canvas tent r.ni Wednesday noon he will lunch ujth fifty editors ol newspapers in the farm area. Hoover is to explain his plan to use the tariff, inland waterways development and efficient cooperative marketing to promote the rehabilitation of agriculture and get from the farmers their reaction to his project. From Los Angeles to West Branch none of the territory is absolutely safe. Conflicting reports have been brought from Arizona and New Mexico especially. Many Doubtful States These have been doubtful States in past years and both sides are claiming them this year. Kansas, with Senator Charles E. Curtis on the ticket as vice presidential candidate, is considered safe this year, but Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, the farm editor, will get on the train at Topeka to talk about the situation in the farm belt and discuss proposals as to the best method of conducting the campaign throughout the area. After the nominee leaves West Branch he will make no stops or speeches. Neither will he receive any leader. The battle for the central States and the eastern States is yet to be undertaken. The nominee will cover them in side trips on week-ends from Washington the last six weeks of the campaign, but he will not return to the West until the latter part of Octobe ron his way home to Palo vote. Therefore, he wants to see that the campaign for the winning of the West is started out in the right way. FOUNDRY BUILDS PLANT Federal Expands, Erecting $40,000 Addition.
