PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST
HOOVER-SMITH CAMPAIGNS THE ELECTIONEERING OPENS IMPORTANT ISSUES FACED By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Feb. 7, 9.50 p.m. A. and N.Z. Washington, Feb. 6 A high point of interest in the Presidential campaign will probably be reached in a few days when the two most prominent aspirants will openly enter the field. Mr. Hoover is filing his name in nine States in the so-called “primaries” where delegates to the National Convention are chosen, and offices on behalf of Governor Al Smith will be opened here and in Virginia. Mr, Hoover’s move is for the purpose of consolidating his great popular support, and to frustrate enemies who have been working sub rosa against his nomination. Mr. Smith’s efforts are looked upon as an attempt to face the religious issue in the southern States, where the former strength of the Ku Klux Klan and the Roman Catholic question are likely to give him the greatest difficulty.
