Floods on Eighth
Street Make Local
Autoists Peeved

Floods are again rampant on
Eighth Street, and ears and trucks
got stuck in the mud as they ran
into patches of water last night.
This is the second time this week
that water has poured over the
highway for blocks along this
thoroughfare, and residents are
asking how comet
1t is through the old canal at the
southwest corner of the city limits
overflowing its banks. The Irriga-
tion District have waste at the
end of the canal over to the Dahlia
canal that furnishes water along to
the end of the canal, which stretches
five or six miles to the south.
When the ranchers got through
using water in this canal they closed
the gates, which throws the water
back into the waste pipe, with the
consequence that it floods the conn
try.
City Engineer +. s. Dyer is en-
deavoring to get the water drained
off today and see what can be done
to prevent q recurrence.

NelU York Labor
FOvsukeS Ranks
OF La Toilette
BY. PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Political
prognostications as to the DISPOSE
ton of New York s ominous As
electoral votes were thrown into
confusion today by the sensational
turn in the campaign brought. about
when the New York City Labor
Council switched its endorsement
from La Toilette to Davis.
Friends of the Democratic nomi-
nee are confident that the move will
swing the entire vote of the Lab
or Couneil-about 100000 according
to its own estimates-tO Davis.
: His leaders confidently expect
that before Tuesday other organiza
tions within the American Fedora
.tion of Labor may also switch their
endorsement.
The action was attributed by
members of the council to the fact
that they believed "Senator Ii. Fol
lette now has no chance of election
and that 4 vote east for him in this
state or anywhere in the east is
vote east for the enemies of Labor
Coolidge and Dawes
Claims Great Strength
The New York Central Trades and
Labor Council, which is the official
.title of the organization, claims to
represent one fifth of the entire
| membership of the American Fed
| Grafton of Labor. Its endorsement
| of La Toilette followed recommen
! dation of the executive council 0
| the American Federation of Labo
last August in Atlantic City, ant
represented one of La Toilette ;.
strongest group of supporters.
The switch was made following
'insistent demands of the mem
bership' of the organization, Pres
ident John o. Sullivan declared, in
making the announcement through
local Democratic headquarters.
If Davis, should capture New
York s 40 votes-worth Is times as
much as the State of Arizona--his
friends further reckon that with
his strength from the solid south
and border states, he could at least
prevent election of Mr.. Coolidge, if
he could not elect himself
His opponents, however, find one
or two flaws in the switch, They
contend that even its effect in New
York City is diminished because it
comes so late before election day
and that the labor vote throughout
the country will pay no attention to
it:
Davis is elated over the turn. He |
issued a statement this morning in
which he stated that the campaign |
of deception of the Republicans is
breaking down and courted more La
Toilette support.
