HOOVER FORCES FEAR AL SMITH IN NORTHWEST Reveal Discontent in Wheat Belt Tends to Favor N. Y. Governor. BY RAY TUCKER CEDAR RAPIDS, lowa, Aug. 23. —Hardly had Herbert Hoover quelled some of rebellion in the corn belt here before he was informed by Northwestern leaders that there was grave discontent in the wheat States of Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas. By such leaders as Governor Theodore Christiansen of Minnesota, Representative Royal Johnson of South Dakota and Senator Nye of North Dakota he was told that the 50-cent drop in the wheat price in the last month and Governor Smith’s popularity necessitated hard and intensive Campaigning in the northwestern section. Concretely they suggested that Hoover, when returning to California to vote late in October, make his tour through their section rather than through the border States, as had been originally planned. Smith v as said to have considerable strength in the Northwest where his wetness and even his religion are helping him among the tolerant and liberal people of foreign decent. Their adherence to Republicanism, Hoover was informed, is not so deep-seated as is that of people in the corn belt which he has been wooing. Hoover advisers are jubilant at the results of the three-day invasion of the corn belt. The most permanent good. In their opinion, will follow not so much from Hoover's pledges as from his contact with more than sixty editors, six Governors dnd ex-Governors, six United States Senators and about thirty members of the House, all of whom reside in the supposedly disaffected areas. Next to his exhibition of his understanding of their troubles, they liked best his evident sympathy and determination to make a solution of the farm question his first care if he should be elected.

TEXT BOOKS OUSTED Chicago Brands Histories as Pro-British. Bn l-lilted Print CHICAGO, Aug. 28.—The Chicago school board has won one engagement in Mayor William Thompson’s war on King George of England. Six American history textbooks, which came in for much publicity durin gthe trial of William McAndrew, former superintendent of Schools, were extirpated by the scholo board at a meeting Wednesday, because, the board voted, they tend to spread pro-British propaganda among school children. Surprisingly enough, J. Lewis Coath, trustee and former president of the board, voiced a mild opposition to the exclusion of these books. It was Coath who led the attack against Andrews, charging Andrews was the instrument of British prop-aganda-spreading. Coath hinted at fvaoritism in selecting the textbooks for the coming year, but when the vote came, he voted with the rest of the members.

ALBANIA TIRES OF SELF RULE; FAVORS KING Assembly Called to Name President Zogu Ruler of Monarchy. (Copyright, 1928. by United Pres*) LONDON. Aug. 23.—The Albanians, one of the most ancient races of Europe, want to be ruled by a King instead of a President. After centuries of Turkish rule. Albania gained its freedom shortly before the World War and recently experimented with a republican form of government, modeled closely after that of the United States. Tt did not suit them. Saturday, a constitutional assembly will meet at Tirana, the capital, and before it ends, it will proclaim President Ahmed Zogu, King. Back of the decision of this wild, interesting and little known race of people lies a history both fascinating and heroic. Zogu, still only 33 years old, is called the “Savior of the people’’ and is their second great national hero. The other was Scanderberg, who led hir, people to brief freedom from the Turks in 1443. Albania is a little ountry, about half the size of the State of Indiana, lying on the eastern shore of the Adriatic, with Jugoslavia to the north and Greece to the south, opposite the toe of the Italian “Boot.” It has a population of perhaps 1,000,000 to 1,500,000.
