SUPPORT FOR HERRIoT.
Premier Gets Biggest Majority Yet
From Deputies.

BY Radio TO The Star and Chicago Daily News
PARIS. August 25.-Premier Her.
riot obtained Sunday in the Chamber
of Deputies the largest majority ever
given him since he became Frances
prime minister.
Many members of the opposition
cast their votes, not for Herriot. but
in favor of application of the Dawes
plan. An almost similar majority is
expected in the Senate, where the de-
bate will be more academic. Former
Premier Poincare, who is expected to
intervene in the debates, will confine
his oratorical talent not so much to
trying to prove that Herriot aban-
doned Frances vital interests a Lon
don, as to defend his past policy,
without which he believes the
Dawes plan never would have been
born.
Hopes of U. s. Aid.
The overwhelming majority which
Herriot obtained in the chamber was
due not only to the fact that the
French Parliament believes in the eff
cacy of the Dawes plan, but also that
the chamber shared the premier
hopes that the United States will
henceforth play a more active role
in European politics. Herriot re-
peatedly stated. amid unanimous
APPLAUSE, that "he purposely invited
American citizens to be appointed
whenever there was the slightest
possibility of employing them be-
cause they were trusted by all parties
and also because Americas interest
in foreign affaires was bound to IN
crease when it's own nationals nave
responsible positions in bodies which
are to bring about settlement OF
European quarrels."

State and conducted the affairs of the
office in peace and harmony until he
became embroiled with the legisla-
ture over educational appropriations.
He insisted on reducing allotments
for the higher institutions of learn
ing, which drew the fire of the for
mer university students and, in return,
an open attack on the institutions
by Ferguson, that was the begin
ming of his downfall. Ultimately, he
was removed from Office because of
his personal financial transactions
with brewers.
1t was at this point that Mrs.
Ferguson began her fight for vindica-
ton, which ended VIGOROUSLY on
Saturday. She advised Jim" to take
his case before the people-the vot-
ers. Time after time, he was repuli-
ated by them when he offered him
self for high office. Eventually, the
State Democratic executive commit
tee refused to put his name on the
ballot any longer-the strain of i'm
parchment had deprived him of citi-
Zenship, they told him. Whereupon,
the name of Mrs. Ferguson was sub
stituted and by nearly 100000 votes
she was nominated over the Ku klux
Khan candidate, Judge Felix Robert
son, SATURDAY.
Mrs. Ferguson is not a politician,
but she says she is anti-Ku klux.
Her husband is the original foe of
the Khan in Texas. He carried the
antiklan banner in the fight against
Earl B. Mayfield two years ago. The
Fergusons realize that their vindica-
ton is not all that attracted victory
to their side--the anti-Klanners fol-
lowed Ma by tens of thousands.

Standing on the eighteenth green,

over the round Of golf a. played
during the year just ended. tho
outstanding feature of the game Is
the number Of new champions who

OF the major championships, only
two were won twice In succession,
one being the Western amateur,
which Charles Evans, jr.. captured
for the eighth year, and the Pro-
fessiOnal Golfers Association match

won again by Gene Sarazen after
an extra hole final match with
Walter Hagen.

many newcomers pushing their way
to the front all the time that It is
an unusual thing for q man or
woman to win a title Of Importance

Notre Dame Perfect.

A LITTLE insight into the
~ success Of the great Notre
- Dame otball elevens
under Knute Roclne was shown
at Princeton this past season.
It was seeh by the flawless
blocking when Van Gerbig
punted from close to his goal
line.
The Princeton back is a long,
high punter, and he got his
kick away in good style. OF
course, the spectator followed
the course of the ball through
tbe air, not paying much atten-
ton to the players. Hence,
there was much surprise when It
was seen that Van Gerbig HIM
self was down the field under
the kick, making the tackle.
Where were the other players?
The Notre Dame men, without
. hingle exception, had blocked
