HOOVER OPENS 4-DAY CAMPAIGN FOR CORN BELT VOTES

PLANS TO AIR VIEWS ON FARM AIDJEASURE Senator Capper at Head of Agriculture Vanguard to Greet Nominee. CROSSES KANSAS TODAY * 'Home Town’ Talk in lowa to Climax Drive for Rural Support. PAUL R. MALLON (United Press Staff Correspondent) ABOARD HOOVER SPECIAL TRAIN NEARING DODGE CITY, Kans., Aug. 20.—Herbert Hoover moved into the farm belt today for four days of conferences about his tariff, waterways, marketing and farm relief views. Senator Arthu Capper, the influential Kansas agricultural editor and David Mulvane, Republican national committeeman of Kansas, were to be the advance guard of the farm legions, boarding the train at Dodge City for the trip across Kansas. At nearly every one of the numerous stops some of the farm leaders or representatives of Congress are expected aboard to give the nominee his first direct reaction from the disturbed agricultural area since he laid down his anti-McNary-Haugen bill relief project in his California acceptance speech. Speaks at Five Towns Arrangements also were made for him to speak to the farmers at five towns stretched across Kansas— Dodge City, Hutchinson, Newton, Emporia a.nd Topeka. They are to be brief five minute get-together speeches from the rear of the train. Representative Tincher, co-author of the Capper-Tincher farm bill is due aboard at Hutchinson and William Allen White, Jr., son of the Emporia publisher, has wired he wants to see the nominee for a moment at Emporia. Tonight at Kansas City, Hoover will be greeted by Mayor Albert I. Beach and a Republican delegation. They will confer with him briefly about the local political situation. Hoover also will meet there his second son, Herbert Hoover, Jr., who is joining the party so the whole family may be present at the birthplace celebration for the nominee Tuesday at West Branch, lowa. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover and their two sons will spend Tuesday surveying the old native village before Hoover makes his farm speech in a tent there Tuesday night. Nominee Well Pleased The following two days will be spent in conferences with farm editors. leaders and farmers at Cedar Rapids. The nominee is well pleased with j his first stumping campaign trip, now four days old. From his pacifying Boulder Dam speech in Los Angeles Friday to his truce negotiations between Republican factions in New Mexico Sunday, the candidate considers his trip has been more necessary than he thought it -'ould be. In southern California he succeeded in lining up many of the Boulder Dam enthusiasts by his declaration for a high dam. In Arizona he told the three scrapping candidates for the Republican gubernatorial nomination to save their fighting for the contest against the Democrats. He received assurances from them that no matter what their local differences were, they were all for him. He detected a strained feeling in New Mexico between the Republican faction headed by James McNary, rich lumberman, and that of the Senator Cutting-Governor Oil-1 lon group, but again he found both i sides for him.

No Colorado Appearance He made a hit in both states by inviting chairmen from all sections to be his guests on the train in the journey across their States. Never before have county chairmen in Arizona and New Mexico received such distinction from a Presidential candidate and they made their pleasure known in no uncertain manner. The nominee's train skirted through the southeastern edge of Colorado Sunday night, but it was after bedtime when he reached Trinidad, and therefore he made no appearance.

Tom Mix ‘Mixes’ Mits at Party With Stage Star

Wife of Actor Gets Black Eye; Principals Hurl Challenges. BY GEORGE H. BEALE (United Press S f Tff Correspondent) HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 20.—1 fa lot of violent words mean anything, "Terrible” Tom Mix and “Weaving” Will Morrissey will battle to a finish some time this week for the undiputed middleweight championship of Hollywood. Recounting their week-end fistic encounter at the housewarming party of George Beban, the actor, Mix and Morrissey said a lot of mean things about each other today. "I’d consider myself totally unoccupied,” Mix said, “if I had nothing to do except whip Will Morris*' sey before breakfast each morning. I’ll fight him anywhere, any time for any stake.” To which Morrissey of international musical comedy fame, retorted: “Take that cowpuncher away from his boots and I’ll teach him a few things about boxing.” Wife Gets Black Eye Nothing was saicV about or by “Midgie” Miller, Morrissey’s diminutive wife, who suffered the greatest casualties. The stories don’t coincide in entirety but this is the composite. It seems that both had finished the dinner and the nineteenth hole courses at Beban’s house warming, and the-dalk turned to the talkies. “Tom,” said ‘Weaving’ Will, “what are you going to do when they make all the movies with talking words? Your horse Tony photographs pretty well and I gueas I’d rather hear him snort than hear you talk.” One word led to another and soon Mix and Morrissey were sneaking punches at each other on the front lawn about 3 a. m. The accounts of the principals differ from there on. Mix contended he knocked Morrissey down and Morrissey claimed he knocked Mix down. In the middle of the scrap Mrs. Morrissey, otherwise “Midgie” Miller, got struck in the eye and the eye turned black and both Mix and Morrissey claim the other struck her. “Taken for a Sap” Morrissey said that while he was down Mix kicked him with his high-heeled cowboy boots, while Mix said ‘ Morrissey probably thought my fists were boots and they lamped him when he was on his feet.” Mix returned home to Tony and the Moriisseys went to the police station to turn in a complaint against Mix. But police decided to hold them for intoxication. "I am not much of a social success anyhow. I stood first on one foot and then on the other. Someone always takes me for a sap. That’s what Morrissey did. He kept picking on me all evening. He kept following me around and wanting a fight. At last he took a sock at me and that’s more than any man has to take”. I knocked him down and he skidded along the sidewalk I quite a ways.”

AL NEAR TOP RECALLS START 25 YEARS AGO Notification Ceremony Will Be Anniversary as Well. BY THOMAS L. STOKES (United Press Staff Correspondent) ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 20.—The mammoth celebration that some 100,000 Democrats and citizens of Albany wlil put on for Governor Alfred E. Smith when he is notified formally Wednesday night of his nomination will be a political anniversary celebration as well for the Democratic nominee. It was just at this time, twentyfive years ago, that as a rising young Tammany member, who was showing a talent for politics as well as the stage, young “Al” Smith, as he popularly was called, was nominated by the Democrats for assemblyman from the Second Manhattan district. That was the beginning of a career here in the capitol that led four times to the Governor’s chair and will go a step further Wednesday. He won that election, defeating Paul Kamisky, and thus started a series of victories which has been interrupted but once. There is an old story of that nomination. Young “Al,” then 25, sat one afternoon in the commissioner of jurors’ office, where he held a small political job. One of the lesser officials of the Tammany organization came in. He surprised the young man by asking him if the suit he wore was the only one £e had. Smith nodded. “Well, hurry home and get it pressed.” the Tammy official said. "You’re going to be nominated for the Assembly tonight.” The Democratic nominee is thinking much of those early days now. He talks over with friends and political associates those early battles which started him upon the long road that led to the Governor’s mansion. When he stands before the crowd Wednesday and looks down State St. toward the Union Station and the shimmering Hudson he will recall, doubtless, a cold January night when he climbed that same hill in the face of a bitter wind. That was in 1904. The young man w'as here to begin his first term in the Assembly. He was a freshman in politics, and Albany looked cold and cheerless to him that night. The Democratic nominee has a wonderful memory. In conversations with friends, he calls names and places and dates of long ago with uncanny precision. Those early experiences will stand out, in his mind's ye, against the background of massed thousands, and fluttering banners and strings of electric lights as he stands before the Capitol Wednesday night.
