of Support In

Dy United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, November s.
William G.. McAdOO today had the
assurance of liberal leaders of vary
ing political shades that his nomi-
nation for president by the demo,
Gratis virtually would preclude q
third party movement in 1924.
The former secretary of the treas
urv is expected to lose little time
in tossing his hat into the ring as
9 result of encouragement given
him by some of the leaders of the
same group which swept the north
west in the 1922 elections.
McAdoo supporters today said
their chief was given to understand
he might expect progressive support
throughout the west regardless of
party labels.
This information was given Me
Adoo during one of the most ulf-
usual canvasses in political history.
In making the rounds of the sem
ate office building, McAdoo sought
the advice of Senators Borah,
Idaho, and FranZier, North Dakota,
both Republicans, as well as Wheel
er, Montana, and Glass, Virginia
democrats.
From these men McAdoo learned
that he is regarded as the strongest
progressive contender in the west.
Unless HenrF,rFord becomes an ac-
tive candidate McAdoo was told
that he might expect to have clear
sailing. AS the democratic standard
bearer, in the opinion of these SEN
ators, McAdoo could almost GER
tainiv carry such states as North
Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, Wash
ington and even Wisconsin, where
I.aFollette would control.
McAdoo was said to have indicat-
ed in all his conferences that he
intends to make an aggressive cam
paign, holding the Harding Coolidge
administration accountable for the
plight of the farmers. lie will urge

Reports had been received for

warming that tie monarchist militia

border would march on Berlin un-
less such step was taken.
Premier Poincare s objection to
the Dictatorship in Germany was

All President Coolidge s natural and

The president and all his most

are going to base new judgments

From now on Mr.. Coolidge will

Some major league clubs are ex
ceedingly fortunate IN developing
stars Of certain positions.
Take the position OF shortstop on
the Detroit club. for instance.
In the early days OF Hughey Jen-
nings success at Detroit, Charley
O'Leary was one of the most valuable
players in the league Always great
fielder, a fair hitter, dangerous in the
pinch, 0Ieary helped put Detroit on
the map in "a baseball sense.
Then came DOME Busch, just Rs
OLeary was passing out For years
Bush ranked as one Of the most bril-.
liant players in either major league at
sbortstop.
When Bush passed out Of the pic
ture, Topper Rigney entered. Cobb
predicted great things for Rigney and
he has more than made good After
one year in the majors he is regarded
as worthwhile regular, just on the
verge Of stardom.
As an understudy 70 Rigney, the
spring training trip uncovered a
youngster by the name of Kerr Right
now he looks as good If not better,
than Rigney did year ago.

DISCOVER SECRET OF
LONG GOLF DRIVING
Simply Suppress Muscles Which
Are AntagoniStiC.

The secret of long driving has been
discovered, and it is no longer a mys-
terry. Then. again, long driving is not
an accomplishment for the favored and
select few. Anyone can do it,
A London doctor and man OF
science has discovered that the secret
OF long driving is merely matter
Of the elimination OF opposing muscles.
The perfect shot is obtained by sup
pressing those groups of muscles an

ordmated are responsible for aiming

There. what could be simpler than
thatg
II You would be a longer driver, just
suppress the evil muscles The only
catch in the explanation Id the failure
OF the learned scientist to say just
what the evil muscles are. He ex-
plains, however, that these evil mus
cles are those which behave badly
when conscious effort has deyastat-
| ing effect on the function OF the other
muscles.
In other words the long driver. dur

which brings the autagonistic muscle

way.

The next questions We're along the
line she had suggested by her answers
Could she not think of some reason
why he might have committed sui
eide ill health or money troubles?
Had he quarreled with anyone latelyI
She seemed to have more difficulty
with these last questions than with
any Of the previous ones. She was
so long IN answering that some Of
them had to be repeated several times
She was so careful Of what she said
that she gave me the impression that
she was trying to keep something
back.
In response to the first question,
she repeated that she knew no rea-
son why Slyke should want to com
nit suicide. She had heard Of no
money troubles, and his health was
good. No. she had never heard Of
his having quarreled with anyone. II
was this last answer that she had hes
itated longer over than over any Of
the others, and it was the one which
caused me to feel sure she was hiding
something
The question regarding the revolver
that had been found in Sykes hand
she answered readily enough. He had
kept ii IN his room. just where, she
did not know; it We one that he had
bought a year before.

She stated that she had gone
up at once to his room. the door of
which had been left open by the but
Ter when he rushed out. She had
crossed to the bed and called him by
name. When he did not answer. she
looked closer and saw that he was
dead. Her voice broke little on this
last statement, but she soon recovered
and continued. The next thing She
had done, she said, was to call the
doctor.
For the first time, the district at
torney took hand in the proceedings.
"Tell us how you found him"
She answered that he was lying on
his back, the bedclothes pulled up
around his chin, and his hands by his
side. She had not pulled the bed
clothes down from the body, nor dis
turbed them in any way. 1t was not
until she had noticed the wound in
his head that she realized he had been
shot.

the next question.
There was a long silence, then halt
ingly. "I-well, that isl did close
his eyes. Their expression fright

from the district attorney, who asked
