I would like to get some informa
tion as to what station | had from
midnight Monday night until . o'clock
Tuesday morning. l could get the Sc
lcctions very well and a good bit of
the announcing, but not the call let
tors. The announcer always started
With the call letters which I could not
get plainly, and followed this by nam
ing several other stations, among
these being WSB, Atlanta, and WSAI,
Cincinnati. He also mentioned Los
Angeles and New Orleans, but
whether these referred to kilograms
] could not make out. He announced
that this was a join program with
WSB, WSAI and others. The chief
entertainer seemed to be n man with
a peculiar old-time instrument, per
haps a baEpipe or accordion. A lot of
nId-fa shiOncd songs such as "Silver
Threads Among the Gold" and when

played. Toward the end | heard very
plainly a. dance orchestra and the call
letters from this were WAIIG Was

The bagpipe selections came from
WSB, Atlanta. Whether this station
was broadcasting it's program jointly

hockey game between Montreal and
Boston and from where it was being
broadcast?-J. HOLDEN.

Duncan Quotes Last Words.
James Duncan. vice president Of the
American Federation OF Labor, in his
eu,ogy gave to organised labor what
no said was tho last message OF Mr..
Gompers.
When Mr.. Gompers realised that the
end was near, said Mr.. Duncan, he
summoned him to his bedside and
said:
"Give them this message: Say to
them that as 1 kept the faith, 1 ex-
pect them to keep the faith. They
must carry on. No union man with
card can be a good citizen unless ne
upholds American institutions. Ana
he is a poor citizen II he does not up

So far as issues are concerned
the Democrats are content to let
things run along for while, they
say. They are confident that issues
Will arise In the course OF the next
two years. One of the things which
Democratic leaders say "astoundcd
them" was the failure of their
charges of corruption made against
the Republican administration to
affect the electorate. On the other
hand, you hear everywhere on Dem
ocratic lips the suggestion that the
people were frightened into voting

tainty in the minds of tie people as
to what would happen to the Govern
ment and to business II the election

Tho Democrats are not at all dis
pleased with the manner in which the
third party movement seems to have
lost momentum. They realize the ex-
tent to which the La Toilette Wheel
err ticket cut into Democratic strength
in the last election, and they look
with considerable satisfaction upon
the failure Of the labor organizations
to join In with the proposal to form
a new third party.

Some OF the party leaders are con-
WINGED that radical party Is not
likely to attain success in the United
States, particularly since the election.
If the Republican party is to be the
conservative party-though proclaim
Ing devotion to progress-then 1t
may be supposed that the Democrats
will be forced into liberalism. But IL
they are, it will not be the type Of
liberalism advanced by the third
ticket during the recent campaign.
1t will be far less radical.
The Democrats are engaged in heal
ing sores-not opening them. Hence
the welcoming of Senator Wheeler
of Montana back to the party fold.
Mr.. Wheeler, It Is understood, is
through with his adventure into the
field of third-party politics. And by
the same token the Democrats have
watched with interest the efforts of
the Republicans in the Senate to

During the opening weeks OF Con-
gress the Democrats sang pretty
small. But it is noticeable that In re-
cent days they have begun to stand
up in the Senate and fight; they have
pressed the issue OF the Presidents
veto OF the postal employees pay bill
to the fore. when Republicans who
supported the measure were content
to postpone consideration Of the veto
message until February. Democratic
insistence has brought about an
agreement in tho Senate to consider
the veto message January s. But, ad-
minfstration Senators assert, the
fight to sustain the Presidents veto
has now been won, and the support
ers Of the bill are votes shy
OF the necessary two-thirds vote to
pass the bill over the veto. The
interesting feature of the matter,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1924-12-18

however, lies in the militant atti-
tude of the Democrats, aroused from
their silence of two weeks.
The impressive memorial services
for great Democratic leader and
President, Woodrow Wilson, held in
the House on Monday, served to
hearten the Democrats. Furthermore
prominent Democrats from all parts
