Campaign
DAY
BY

Democrats and Republicans both
concentrated their strength in the
East today. John w. Davis was
scheduled to deliver a series of
speeches in Maryland, New York
and New Jersey and Col. Theodore
Roosevelt. Republican candidate for
Governor OF New York, started q
wnirlwind campaign for the Gov
ernorship on national issues.
Davis, who has been resting at
his home on Long Island, leaves
early Wednesday for Frederick, Md,
where he will speak in the after
noon.
Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette, con-
tinuing her campaign in behalf of
her husband, will speak again at a
big independent meeting in town hall
tonight.
Senator Wheeler, Independent vice
presidential candidate, continued his
speaking tour in the West, making
public a letter he received from
Amos Pinchot. brother Of the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, who de-
nounced the open letter of old Roose-
Welt progressives attacking the in
dependent ticket.
Republican campaign leaders in
Washington continued suprenely
confident President Coolidge will be
elected and declared Davis will not
carry one of the States the Demo-
cratic candidate visited on his recent
western speaking tour.

Charging n Deal"

So complete has the Democratic
drift to La Toilette become that the
Republican organization and the
Republican newspapers are alleging
that a deal has been made between
the La Toilette organization and the
Democratic State organization
whereby support for the Progressive
national ticket Is being traded for
support of the Democratic State
ticket.
The fact seems to be that no such
deal has been made. but the Pro-
gressive managers and the Demo-
cratic managers are not seriously
trying to prevent a movement that
is too strong for their control.
The Republican leaders express
every confidence, however. in Cool
idge's ability to carry the State.
They are less sanguine about
Senator Phipps, notwithstanding he
is the parties financial angel in the
State and is maintaining a complete
an deXpensive organization OF his
own. Phipps, Furthermore. has
allied himself with the Khan and is
charged by his opponents with
helping also to finance it. The Khan
dominates the Republican party in
the State, all but one candidate on
the ticket having been put there by
the Khan. Rice Means. candidate
against Shafroth for the short
Senate term, Is an active Klansman
as is Morley, candidate for Gov
ernor.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1924-09-30
Khan Enters In

Phipps' friends fear the Khan may
desert him before November in Or
der to make Means the sole dis
penser Of Federal patronage in Colo
RADIO, in case he beats Shafroth.
A further complication is the ac-
tivity of a group operating under
the name of Farmer-Labor party,
which has put a complete State
ticket in the field and which, until
Senator Wheeler's arrival, proposed
to put a complete set Of presidential
electors on the ballot separate from
these Endorsed by La Toilette. This
group has had a remarkable career.
Progressive leaders charge openly
that the leaders of this group are
working in collision with Phipps in
the present campaign. Two years
ago some Of these same leaders sold
an affidavit to the Democratic State
committee in which they admitted
having been financed by the Repub-
lican State committee. The agree
ment reached Monday, however, is
believed to have removed any men,
ace from that source to the La Fol
lette-Wheeler ticket.

Peppermint as a flavor is today In

CURE FOR NosE.BLEED

IN MANY sections Of the country 1t
= Is believed that wearing a red bean
strung on string around the neck
Will cure. or prevent, nose-bleed. This
Is survival Of primitive mans belief
In sympathetic magic-speciflcally that
part Of 1t which Is classified as homeo-
pathic or initiative magic and which
The ancients worked this magic both
ways. When 1t was case Of action
In general 1t was a case Of like causes
like But when 1t has strictly cura-
tive process 1t was like cures like"
This belief can be traced far back
through the ages and prevails today
among nearly all peoples who are in
primitive state. The old Greeks and
Romans used to cure" jaundioe by
means Of the stone-curlsw, whose large
yellow eye, we are assured by Plu-
tarch and Pliny, drew out" the dis
ease from the patient; and the German
peasants today use red birds to draw
OUT st. Anthony's FIRE or relieve pa
tients flushed with fever.
Anything red or yellow is supposed
to be beneficial In cases where the dis
ease manifests iteslf by like color.
1t will readily be seen, then, how red
bean worn around the neck should,
according to the ancient principles Of
sympathetic magic, cure or prevent
nose-bleed. The relation between the
primitive mans magic and the modern
| mans science Is interesting Frazer
says Of sympathetic magic that It "as-
sumes that things act upon each other
at a distance through a secret SYM
pathy, the impulse being transmitted
from one to the other by means OF
what we may conceive as kind Of in
visible ether, not unlike that which IL
postulated by modern science for pre-
cisely similar purpose, namely, to ex-
plain how things can physically affect
each other through space which ap-

Jane Seymour's Ghost
Haunfs HAMPTON Court

In a recent article by Alberto Cahuet
on "The Ghosts Of Fontainebleau"
published in L'IlluStration (Paris), ac-
cording to q translation In the Kansas
City Star, the writer said:
"In England, at Hampton Court, 1t
is admitted that Jane Seymour, third
wife Of Henry VIII, comes back In
the dead of night to wander through
the corridors. Her ghost-a wrath
with disheveled hair outlined in white
light-has been seen, 1t Is declared.
on the little stairway which leads to
the private apartment once occupied
by the young queen. 1t Is even
claimed that the apparition has been
photographed - witness the souvenir
postcards sold by the caretaker at the
CASTLE
1t is frankly admitted that the post
card Is intended simply to show what
James wrath looks like when 1t is
photographed.
It will be remembered that Jane
Seymour, Henry Wits third wife, was
married by this Bluebeard monarch
the udy utter the eAecutioH VI LIS SCI
ond wife, Anne Boleyn, in May, 1886.
Jane Seymour was then barely twenty
years old Hampton Court Is one of
the largest of the royal palaces Of
England, Is OF brick with crenellated
walls, and was built by Cardinal VOL
sey In 1915 as gift to Henry VIII.
More than eight hundred Of the thou
sand-odd rooms are today occupied by
members OF the British aristocracy
who are lodged there gratuitously by
the crown. 1t would appear from
this that If the ghost OF poor Jane
Seymour still haunts the corridors OF
Hampton Court 1t runs the risk of en-
countering plenty Of living persons.
