BELIEVED DEBATE OF SMITH-
STRATON MAY NOT BE HELD
The Stadium, Stanford University,
Cal., Aug. 11.—Herbert Hoover today
.accepted the republican nomination
for president with a bold declaration
of party policies.
The republican nominee, speaking
before a monster crowd in his Alma
Mater’s football stadium and to a
huge nation-wide audience over the
radio, declared in favor of prohibition
and against modification of the Vol-
stead act, proposed a definite plan of
farm relief and condemned public cor-
ruption as “treason to the state.”
Hoover came out for a strong na-
tional defense and proposed peace
world, but an arined peace
so long as other nations of the world
maintained armaments.
The candidate definitely accepted
the gauge of Gov. Alfred E. Smith,
his democratic rival, on the prohibi-
tion issue. Hoover took the dry side
of the question beyond dispute.
Against Modification.
Hoover admitted there were grave
abuses of prohibition and he demand-
ed they be remedied. He called for
a searching investigation to deter-
the facts and causes of dry law
violations to develop a “wise method
of correcting them.” He came out
flatly against modification of the Vol-
stead to “permit that which the con-
stitution forbids.”
On farm relief, Hoover declared
agriculture’s plight presented the
“most urgent economic problem in
our nation today.” His relief, plan
included: 1. Creation of a federal
farm board of representative farm-
ers to build up “with federal finance”
farmer-owned and farmer-controlled
stabilization corporations to protect
farmers against seasonal gluts. 2.
Adequate tariff protection bn farm
products. 3. Modernization of inland
waterways and construction of the St.
Lawrence waterway to lighten freight
rates on farm products. 4. Reorgani-
zation of the marketing system.
The nominee condemned the oil
scandals, though he did so in general
terms.
Hoover Speech In Brief.
Highlights in the acceptance address
were:
Opposition to the repeal of the
| prohibition amendment and a pledge
i for enforcement of the laws enacted
under it.
Farm relief through tariff protec-
tion, development of inland water
for
corporations.
Oshkosh (Wis.) Daily Northwestern
editorial: “Many fail to understand
I ;e difference until it is explained to
1 hem, arid even then there are persons
who, seeking publicity that should be
paid for as advertising, profess to see
no reason why they should pay for
material.
“Advertising is what, lawfully, any
person wishes to insert and be re-
sponsible for as a medium of getting
and increasing business or reaping
personal benefit.
“The following is a good summary
of the relative treatment of news and
advertising: Whatever goes into news
columns must be edited in the interest
cf the reader, by men trained in that
work and having no ends to serve ex-
cept to provide the news.
“Nobody can pay for insertion of
news. The honest newspaper, often
offered money to print a news item,
always refuses it. On the other hand
the reader is entitled to strict super-
vision of material submitted to pre-
vent what is really propaganda or
advertising, submitted to aid some
business or some cause, being pub-
lished as unbiased news gathered by
the newspaper staff.”
SAYS JUVENILE PROBLEM
IS ONE FOR THE HOME
(Temple Telegram)
Chief of Police Lee Saulsbury says
the “kid problem” in Temple is be-
coming so serious that it ought to be
alarming to parents of urchins that
do not stay at home.
Yesterday morning the chief gave
two youngsters about 10 and 12. years
old a “talking to,” following their
arrest for breaking into the M Store j
No. 2, and taking a small quantity |
of pennies, a few cookies, etc. The
boys had cut a hole through the screen
and worked the lock on the back door
to the store with a pocketknife. They
confessed to the burglary and after
a half-hour session with the chief in
In this campaign for District Attorney, J. W.
Thomas has submitted1 to you an endorsement
signed by eight Bell County citizens.
In this connection I desire to call your at-
tention to the following facts: In the first primary
I carried Rogers, the former home of both Thom:
and myself, by 111 votes. Belton, the present
home of both of us, gave me 135 votes more than
Thomas. I beat him in Bell County 1,263 votes.
In the county he carried 1 1 boxes! I carried 37.
Which endorsement is the more forceful?
This is the judgment of those who have
known us longest and who know us best.

the pastor except in the church where

started in the back of the building
under the floor where a quantity of
lumber and other things were stored.
A terrific explosion which caused the
east wall to crumble and fall was
heard while the fire was at its high-
est. Gas and smoke originating from
the fire was probably the cause of
this, it was said.
Damage to the building and fixtures
was estimated at several thousand
dollars which was partially covered
by insurance.
