That is the one thing fear in
farmers organizations" added the ex-
ecutive." and the only thing about
which | am worrying in connection
with them"
The governor made reference to the
decision of Judge Cham Jones here
late yesterday which declared that
the governor had no power to veto
a bill or section thereof without re-
turning 1t to the Legislature. The
decision was rendered in the man
damus suit brought by Norma Rath-
bun, clerk in the office of the state

$50, 900 in Gems Stolen
By Philadelphia Bandits
Three Unmasked Men Loot Jew

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.-Diamond
rings and unset precious stones, val
ued at between $4,000 and 100000
were stolen from jewelry store, at
718 SAMSON Street to-day by three
bandits, who escaped.
One of the robbers entered the store
of Zieger & Nemirofsky and asked to
see low-priced watch, according to
Zieger. AS Israel Zieger turned to get
a tray Of timepieccs the other two ban
dts entered and all three drew pistols.
They backed Zieger, Benjamin Nemi-
rofsky and Zieger's eighteen-year-old
SON into corner, walked behind the
counter and robbed the six-foot safe.
They took trays OF diamond rings and
a leather pouch containing uncut
stones, all the time keeping the three
men covered with their pistols.
The instant the three robbers disap-
peared from the place the members Of
the firm gave the alarm, but the ban
dts covered their tracks so we'll that
the police had no clew to work on.
The robbers were not masked, and ap-
parently did not use an automobile to
escape. The bandit who asked to see
watches spoke with foreign accent.

Elkills Dcnounces
Failure to Reward
Loyal Republicans
Slump in Party Organiza-
ton Held Due to Keeping
Too Many Observing
ID e III ocrats'' in Office

From The Tyfbnne's Washington Bureou
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1o.-~Senator
Elkins, of West Virginia, Republican,
and close friend of President Harding,
issued statement day in which he
struck at the policy Of keeping ''de-
serving Democrats" in office and Re-
publicans out of office. He drew a
lesson from the results of Tuesday
elections and takes the view that Re-
publicans party organizations have let
down because Republicans are being
shut out of the Offices and Democrats
are being kept in.
Senator Elkins has before this pro-
tested against the failure to put Re-
publicans in Office. and in the cloak
rooms at the Capitol there is much
talk OF the same kind among many
of the Republican Senators and House
members.
IF those responsible for harmoni
Gus Republican party to confront the
opposition in the next years Congress
sional election fail to profit by the
lesson to be learned from last Tues
days election, they will be recreant
in their duty to the party organization
which gave them their opportunity p
declared Senator Elkins.
"The trend shown in these cleo
tions," Senator Elkins continued, as
not encouraging to our party, but it
is valuable as hint and warming.
Party organization Is made effective
by the rewards distributed to party
men, not by the reward Of a few
leaders and utter Indifference toward
many equally as deserving.
fective party organization rests upon
that. Idealists delude themselves
otherwise and try to delude others,
New-York tribune., 1921-11-11


but the fact remains and will always
remain that practical politics is the
basis OF party organization. and or
ganisation is necessary TO party suc-
cess.
The trend shown in the recent cleo
tions, in my opinion, indicates plainly
that party organization had let down
because OF disccntent with a policy
that keeps Republicans out of merited
rewards due them for party services
performed, and deserving Democrats
in possession of them.
Nobody will deny that the preced-
ing Administration was loud and lusty
with its preachments Of idealism, bat
nobody will dispute that when it came
to looking after the harmony and up
keep of its party organization it was
there forty ways in it's genius to rid
the government of it's political enc
mics and hand over their places to
deserving Democrats
1t Is my belief that many Of the
Republican Senator'S and Representa-
tives who are up against fight next
year to held their seats agree with
this view"
