Hoover Campaign to Use Movies and Radio if Nominee
New York reports Herbert Hoover, nominated by the Republican Party, plans a campaign centered on motion pictures and radio. Ally Allen Fox says Hoover approved a program using films highlighting Belgian relief, Russian child feeding, and Mississippi flood aid to showcase his humanitarian work. Fox says ten programs are ready and that occasional public speeches may occur, aiming to counter Gov. Smith’s stump rhetoric. The plan presumes Smith’s nomination and transcontinental speaking tours by his aides. Maryland results show Hoover winning the state’s 18 votes in GOP nominating contests, with Bruce and Goldwater mentioned in other races.
