Berger, national chairman of the socialist party, issued a state nient today in which he says that the .statements by. socialist campaign managers in New York have been misinterpreted to mean that the So c-ia lists prefer Hoover instead of Smith. His statement follows: "I see from Associated press dis patches .that statements made by socaliists campaign managers in New York have been construed to mean that the socialists prefer Hoover to Smith. Also that Norman Thomas the presidential candidate of the socialist party, on his return from a ntion wide tour, predicts the elec tlon of Hoover. "I cannot agree with Mr. Thomas predictions. Any prediction at thi. time as who will be the successful candidate is vain unless we accep' as a basis the betting board of Wall street, which is two and a half tr one in favor of Hoover. Wall street has been wrong before, however, and it may be wrong again. "The personalities of the two can didates has very little bearing on the campaign. There are economir issues and political issues which af fect the very existence of our demo cracy."

H .1 Curtis Laudfe,, , Hoover; Assures Farm Relief Declares Fanners' Ills Are the. Re sult of War, "Generally" Repeats Tariff Plan. Springfield, O., Sept. 26. Kind ling the republican fires in Missouri! western campaign Senator Curtis tonight talked tariff and Herbert Hoover to a crowd gathered in the Shrine Mosque here. The senator declared increased tar iff protection against agricultural Im portations to be "an important means by which to relieve the depression in agriculture," but he believed oth er legislation necessary also and placed faith in the promise of Her bert Hoover to put agriculture on a basis of equality with other indus tries. He lauded Mr. Hoover as "the best equipped man ever to run for president." Reaching Springfield' early in the afternoon, the nominee was given a tumultuous reception. The crowd gathered at the station was so close ly packed that he had difficulty In making his way to automobiles which carried the party in a proces sion through the city behind a band to headquarters. Greeted by Ciowds. Governor Sam Baker of Missouri and Mayor Beach of Kansas City headed a delegation of state repub lican leaders accompanying Senator Curtis here. The senator held open house at his rooms at Kenwood Arms hotel, receiving callers who march ed In during the afternoon in con siderable number. The address to night was broadcast over radio from WSO, Jefferson City. On the trip across Kansas and into Missouri to day, the nominee was met at the in frequent stops by crowds. It was the first time he has been in his home state of Kansas since receiving for mal notification og his nomination in August at Topeka. His voice, which has been out of order since Saturday, kept him fro mspeaklng outdoors, but he detrained to shake hands at stops. "Tariff Is Important." "Tariff protection on farm prod ucts," he declared, "is an important means by which to relieve the pres ent depression in agriculture and to place the farmer in a position of economic equality with other indus tries,, but in considering tariff rates as a means for meeting the problem of agriculture, the danger of undue reliance on the effectiveness of this method must be avoided. "Many of the farmers' ill are the result of the war and of post-war conditions, generally; others are in part at least the results of mal-ad justments of our distributive system a lack of proper marketing facil ities. Co-operative associations have done much to relieve this latter dif ficulty and it properly etxended. will, .in my judgment, bring still greater relief ."World-Herald.

There was probably' some damage to corn in northeastern counties, where small portion of the crop was still immature, but in the rest of the state nearly all the corn was sufficiently advanced not to be injured by r moderate freeze. Fall plowing and the Seeding of winter wheat have made good progress in eastern coun ties but In the contral and south western portions of the state they are still being delayed because of dry soil. The dry, cool weather was fa vorable for the maturing of beets Silo filling and potato digging made good progress. WADSW0RTH GIVEN POST Cambridge, Mass., Sept. 25.
