G. 0. P. CHIEF ASSERTS HE'S FOR AL SMUT Executive’s Stand Places North Dakota in List of Doubtful States. By United Press , WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Wash • ington was included today to put North Dakota definitely in the list of doubtful States as to the presidential election. Senator Gerald P. Nye, who conferred with Senator Frazier and others on the situation, said frankly it now is a doubtful State, although he believes it will go for Herbeit Hoover In November. Governor Walter Maddock of North Dakota, who succeeded the Republican Governor Sorlie in that office from Lieutenant Governor, announced yesterday that he would stand for re-election on the Democratic ticket in full support of Governor Smith, and the Democratic nominee Is expected to resign to allow Maddock’s name to be placed on the ballot in his place. Elected As Republican Maddock was elected as a nonpartisan -league Republican, with Sorlie. Since the non-partisan league uprising just after the war. the State’s Republicans have been divided into two strong factions—the leaguers and the so-called • independent faction, consisting of the party's stalwarts. The leaguers have in general kept control of the State. Sorlie, Maddock, Nye and Frazier all have the support of this faction.. Nye and Frazier announced for Hoover after his acceptance speech. When the Republicans met in State convention later, independents and leaguers meeting in different halls, an attempt was made at fusion, but it is understood the Stalwarts insisted upon a resolution indorsing Hoover. Fusion Is- Failure Fusion failed, and the Democrats at once began overtures to Maddock, after Sorlie’s death. He is popular, and has been a league leader ever since its organization, being its floor leader in the house of delegates in 1917 and 1919 and having been elected twice as Lieutenant Governor, to 1924 and 1921. He and Frazier have been considered especially close, both politically and personally. The possible strength behind Maddock may be indicated by the total La Follette-Davis vote of 1924, about 104,000 to the 95,000 which Coolldge polled. La Follette was given 90,000 votes and Davis about 14,000. However, Nye and Frazier both supported La Follette and are this year supporting Hoover, which may make much, difference. , ....

Pupils Confused by Two Sets of Teachers Ruling

Political Foes for Trustee Post Hire Separate School Corps. By Times Special * ROCKPORT, Ind., Sept. 15. Political war started nearly a year ago has thrown six of Hammond township’s schools into confusion as pupils attempt to obey two sets of teachers and trustees. Death of Oscar Doyle, Democrat, last November, created the contest for the’office. James M. Laird, Republican auditor of Spencer County, appointed Alex Sauter, Jr., Republican, to the office an hour after Doyle’s death. Both Sign Diplomas A few hours later the county commissioners appointed Walter R. Richey, Democrat, for the post. The battle continued and diplomas to eighth grade graduates in August were signed by both trustees. Carl C. Wooiner, county superintendent, took a hand thi:- week and ruled that Richey was the legal trustee and that his corps of teachers should take charge. Wait Court Action Clinging to the hope that the case now before the Supreme Court will favor them, the teachers, janitor and bus drivers named by Sauter are attending school each day. Parents of the pupils have taken sides in the controversy which has complicated the affair further. HEALTH CUP TO STATE Indiana Wins Award Second Time .. . For Anti-T. B. Work.

HOOVER BOOSTS IN PULPIT HIT Mrs. Willebrandt Warned Against Procedure. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney general, in her future speeches for Hoover, will refrain from urging Methodist ministers to recommend Hoover’s election from their pulpits, if she heeds suggestions from the Republican national committee. Her speech at Springfield, Ohio, urging Methodist ministers to mobilize against Governor Smith caused such reaction in high Republican circles that the suggestion was conveyed to Mrs. Willebrandt that she change her text in the future. The disapproval of Mrs. Willebrandt’s speech was accentuated by the subsequent refusal of Senator William E. Borah to address a Methodist gathering at Peoria, because he feared his speech was to be regarded as.jx>litical. Hoover, it is known, -was disturbed at reports of Mrs. - Willebrandt’s speech. So were National Chairman Work and others. •- - • ; . *'

Smith’s plan of campaign to win States in the agricultural West on his tour beyond the Mississippi, beginning Sunday night, embraces not only the six major speeches in which he will outline his policies but conferences with important political leaders and contact with crowds. Just how widely he will show himself, beyond his appearances in the six cities where he will make addresses—Omaha, Oklahoma City, Denver, Helena, Minneapolis and Milwaukee—was revealed today, when a complete schedule for hlx first week was made public,’ showing twenty-one short stops in Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado. He is expected likewise to make many short stops on the second week of his tour, which Will take him into Montana,. North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. .cn a northward return, to the East. His plans call for ,no speeches at these stops, .however. ........ - In the larger centers in the northeast, where the Democratic candidate will make speeches, he also will confer with political leaders. These, it is expected, will include some of those who worked in the La Follette campaign in 1924, as well as prominent Democrats. . . . Democratic leaders have been encouraged by the support of Frank p. Walsh, one of the La' Fonerte leaders in 1924, who is setting out to organize for Smith among those who supported La Follette in the northwest in such numbers in 1924 that the Democratic candidate, John W. Davis, ran third in all of the states in that area, except Nebraska. I Reports have come to Governor Smith that much of the La Follette support of 1924 will vote for him this year. The Democratic candidate is an admirer of the late Wisconsin Senator’s career and spoke of him in his acceptance speech, along with Roosevelt, as one who could not follow regular Republican leadership.
