Don Chain, Gun Man,
 Jailed as Bootlegger

Huntington. w. Va, Oct. 2s.-Don Chain. sheriff of Logan county and commander of the coal operators gun men in that section, has been found guilty of bootlegging.
 Federal Judge AeClintic sentenced him to two years in the Atlanta peni- tentiary and to pay fine of 10000. Chain was no ordinary bootlegger, but violated the prohibition law on the same elaborate scale as he assem- bied his army of gun men to terrorize union miners As sheriff of Logan county, the convicted bootlegger was supreme until he ran afoul of the fed eral government.

OUR CONSTITUTIONAL.
 CONSTITUTION


 will show you blankety, blankety, blankety blank son of lousy Repub- lican-Democrat, where you get off. I'll send my Marshal after your hired man, l Madison, and make him sign Maberry's commission"
 Yes, you will" sneered Jefferson, and if that two by four Marshal of yours sticks his nose in the executive branch of this here government, I'll meet him with the navy and army of the United States, and, besides, your Marshal has no jurisdiction outside of your own court room"
 Now. Chief Justice Marshal was any thing but a bonehead. He knew dlirncd we'll that this government was composed of three autonomous, independent and correlated branches and that, under the Constitution, one branch had no right to interfere with, or to boss, another branch And when Jefferson raised the point of the three-h eaded correlation of the three branches, Marshal knew it was time to climb off his high horse. The next question was how to dismount gracefully so as not to give the con to he-haw the performance. So the foxy Marshal retired to the seclusion of his pet barroom and from his inner consci ousness evolved the momentous judicial :oI, %Lo 1,h ho~ 1o,- was declared unconstitutional century later.
 Pm sorry I can't quote the opinion of Marshal verbatim, as I lost my law library in the St Louis cyclone, or the battle of Lookout Mountain, I've forgot ten which, but boiled down, 1t was some thing like this: 1
 "I'm the supreme judge of the United States, ain't IF A supreme judge is su- preme You can't get around that, and if supreme being hasn't got the pow CT to tell everybody. including Tom Jefferson and his pesley executive de partment, where to get off, he isn't su- preme by long shot. is he? But the Constitution says l am supreme and if Tom says I'm not he is violating the Constitution. Moreover, have taken solemn oath to interpret the Constitu- ton and what does my interpretations of the Constitution amount to when they are not executed by the executive branch? From this it follows, as day ollows night, that I am the boss of the executive branch, and if I'm boss of the executive branch of the govern ment, it implies that am boss of the legislative branch also. And if that Democratic Republican majority over in Congress passes law that in my opin- ion don't gee with the Constitution, might declare it unconstitutional Mind you, I don't say would, but I think could under the powers implied in the word SUPREME. Supreme means above everybody, the highest authority, supreme power That being the case the supreme court is the boss of the executive and legislative branches of our government, and if Thomas Jeffer- son don't make his man, Madison, sign the appointment of my distinguished friend and fellow FederaEst, Maberry, he is clearly in violation of the Consti- tuition of the United States, and he ought to be pulled out tof he presidents chair"
 That is about all that Marshal said He was smart enough, however, not to try to enforce his judicial dictum on

if the vice presidency fight was a
private fight or if anybody could get

HOOVER SOUGHT
AS RUNNING MATE
Continued From Page y

expecting delegates are beginning

them to decide it the way he and

Sure They'll Decide

SURE 1fltf IL D6cluS
All of which assured a lot. of well
known names before the convention
on the first ballot or so and carried
out the idea that the delegates were
to do the deciding. Meantime. the
word that Hoover was beginning to
he reasonable was spread about. 1t
wasn't so thickly spread as to
a stampede, which was the very
thing to be avoided. That would
cause simple folks to say Coolidge
had personally named his running
mate. It was spread Just thickly
enough to keep the very real Hoover
sentiment alive against the time
when the Secretary of Commerce
himself viii say that no man is big
ger than his party and if called upon
by the convention to do soshe will
make the race.
This exhibition of old guard tao
ties by Butler amused, but did nor
mollify the old guardsmen them
selves. While they continued today
to go through the motions of being
a part of tile convention they didn't
fool themselves and didn't try very
hard to fool anybody else. Some Of
them were very open about it. They
made it a jest. They told thattwo
new clubs have been organized
among themselves-one the "Go-as-
Far-as-You-Like Club and the other,
the Don't ve-a-Damn Club"
Riding for Fall
The slogan of the clubs, so the
testing OLD guardsmen said, is Let
Butler Alone; Let Him Bump Him
self All the Way Downstairs" They
tell one another that Butler Is rid
ing for a fall, that it won't be long
until he discovered his need for the
Old-time salwarts and then the old
guard can take its job back again.
One of them went so far as to say
that he was glad to be out Of it this
year, that the party was facing de-
feat at the polls in November, and
that it would be nice to have 3utler
to blame.
Other developments of the first
convention day included a conclusion
reached by the resolutions committee
ONIllIam H. Butler) that the plat
form should declare Itself in favor
Of law enforcement. This satisfies
the Anti-Saloon League, which has
been preparing to resist demands
Of the league for beer and light
wines. And association opposed to
the prohibition amendment and
Ralph Beaver S-trassburger for some
commitment in favor Of modifying
the Volstead act.
The resolutions committee also de-
cided that he doesn't believe it is
necessary to drag the Ku-KIux Khan
issue into this campaign. 1t isn't
a political question, Butler is said
to have said, and is to be laft for the
various States to do as they please
with it.
