MUD SLINGING
 MARKS ELECTION
 IN GER MANY
Socialists See Victory In Z, Balloting Sunday-Lu-
 dendorff To Lose
(Ry Associated Press

BERLIN. Dec. 6.-Tomorrow's gen. eral election will be fought out around the banner of the old monarchy and the renublican colors of new Germany. The closing hours of the campaign have been replete with editorial vituperatlon and personal calumny of severity unknown even to the traditional acerbities of Ger man politics. This development, the liberals aver, is due to the desperate efforts of the reactionary "dle hards to make the issue one ot monafchy against republic.
 The three liberal parties-soclallsts. clericals and democrats-have accepted the challenge and are submerslng thelr partisan disparities in common appeal to the voters to vindicate the republic. Led by Chancellor Marx, whose un- eouivocal support of the republican col ors and the constitution have been the outstanding feature of his campaign ut terances, the democrats and socialists have joined the chancellor's party ln a triple election alliance, which has made the defense of democracy the cardinal issue of the campaign.
 Have Heavy Opposition
 Opposing them are the German na- tionalists, led by Admiral von Tirpltz and Count von Westarp; Ludendorff Fascist party and Stressemann's Ger man peoples party. The nationalists entered the campaign heavily hand icapped because of their division over the Dawes plan and the consequent dis integration in their own ranks.
 Ludendorff's party, which held 34 seats in the last Reichstag, has appar- ently cut little figure in the present issue of funds. Political prOgnosticators assert that this party is due to lose at least half its seats.
 Favors Dawes Plan
 The German Peoples party, in its campaign, has made concessions to the followers of the old monarchy in re- spect to the restoration of the old colors, and also has bid for votes from that portion of the electorate which believes in supporting the present gov ernment's program of carrying out the Dawes separations plan.
 The Communists, who captured 62 mandates last May, stand to lose at least half of this number, according to socialists campaigners who have found the German Reds" less militant in the industrial sections owing to the grad nal improvement of social conditions.
 Augmenting their appeal for the de- fense of the republic, all three of the liberal parties have made their chief campaign on a plea for support of Ger many's present program of foreign pol icies as exemplified by her acceptance of the Dawes report embodied i'll the agreement at London.
 III Effects Cited
 Pointing to the instantaneous effects of the governments separations pro- gram on German economies, and insist ing that it's present course shall not be interfered with, the liberal spell binders have tried to impress upon the voters that the ascending curve of the German recovery must not be placed II jeopardy through the election of a Reichstag which woull fail to yield co alton government deprived of saf' majority.

BLOW AT SOUTH SEEN IN SPEECH
 OF PRESIDENT
Southern Democrats Be- lieve Clause Hints At
 Force BilP Revival
neased Wire To The Age-Heraid)

neased Wire To The Age-Heraid) WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Soutnern democrats are manifesting some uneasl- ness over a rather vauge sectlon h President Coolidge's annual message which some interpret as belng nlnc IV congress to revive the old 1orce Diii which caused so much ill-feellng ln the south. ,
 The last attempt to enact such legisla- tion was sponsored by the late senator Lodge when he was a member of the house in 1890. His bill provided for strong federal supervision of all con gressional and federal officials-usualiy republicans-so that the negro would | be encouraged to vote. The present furry was caused by a short paragraph-one of the brlefest Tn the entire message-in which the Presl- dent said: "NOthing is so fundamental | to the integrity of a republican form of government as honesty in all that relates to the conduct of elections. am of the opinion that the national laws governing the choice of members of the congress should be extended to include l Gpproporiate representation of the re- spectiye parties at the ballot box and equality of representation on the various | registration boards, wherever they exsit."
 SOutherners Perturbed Mir. Coolidge did not go into detail 1 but some of the southern democrats | drew the inference that he had some of the southern states in mind when he wrote that paragraph. No republican leaders have taken up the suggestion, no legislation bearing on it has been pre- sented, and no one seems certain wheth- CT the President really hopes to have force bill put through, or whether he was merely stating a general principle in response to pleas from negro leaders
 But in any event, there is little reason for concern on the part of the demo- crats, because not even the most optimi stic republican leaders expect any legi station at this session other than the appropriation bills and a few other urgent measures.
 If any attempt were made in this direction, it is probable that the effort would meet the same difficulty thai Senator Lodges bill encountered. Lodge got his measure through the house, bu in the senate it was beaten by coali tlon of democrats and free-sliver re publicans.
 It took Lodge many years to vii back the favor of southern democrats For years he was hated bitterly, ever personally, because of his efforts. Afte
 he went to the senate, however, h. came to form strong personal friendship
 with some of the southern senators. H.
 and John Sharp Williams, for instance
 were extremely fond of getting off to
 gether in some quiet corner and ex

BANDITS ATTEMPT
 SALOON HOLDUP; 2 DEAD, } DYING
Robbers Open Fire, When Intended Victims Show
 Resistance
(Ry Associated Press)

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Dec. 6.-Two men were shot and killed and five others were wounded, three of them fatally, tonight by two robbers who attempted the robbery of soft drink saloon and then shot their way to liberty in a run ming battle with police, sheriff's dep uties and citizens.
 One of the robbers was arrested where a highway construction work man, who was in turn shot. felled him with a blow from a sledge hammer, and the other is believed to be surrounded in field west of South Bend by a posse made up of hundreds of officers and citizens from the countryside.
 The Dead
 Frank Rathfon, South Bend, cus- toner in the soft drink saloon; Elmer J. Cauffmann. Lydic, Ind, road worker.
 Tho Wounded
 William Rice, South Bend (was in saloon when shooting commenced; ex- pected to die; shot in head); Felix Sevena, 57, bartender in saloon, ex- pected to die; c. l.. Camp, farmer, iv- ing west of South Bend, shot in side and not expected to live; Stanley Pol marzel, shot in side; Homer Currie, road worker, shot in side, not expected to live.
 The shooting began when the rob bers, who for few minutes had been lounging about the soft drink saloon a short distance from the depot of the New York Central railroad, suddenly produced revolvers and commanded the others in the place to put up" their hands.
 The wife of the owner of the saloon, who was in the place, looked on in horror as the shooting started. The men opened fire when Rice, who also had been lounging in the place, started for the robbers, cautioning them to re- frain from carelessness with their fire arms.
 The robbers didn't speak, but shot Rice through the head. He fell to the floor and is believed mortally wounded.

speakers of all parties indicate laxity of popular interest in tomorrow's cleo tion. This apathetic condition has brought the prediction that there will be a falling off of at least three million votes as compared to the official re- turns of the last election. On this ba- sis, the new Reichstag would comprise about 430 deputies.
 OOn the eve of election the estimates of astute observers concede the social ists gain of thirty seats, while the democrats are expected to return forty five deputies as against their former contingent of twenty-seven. If to- morrows vote fulfills the sanguine hopes of the managers of the liberal parties, it is considered not improbable that teh socialists, clericals and demo- crats will be in a position to command decisive parliamentary majority, al though a discussion of the future com position of the cabinet to succeed the present MarxStresemann ministry is studiously avoided in all party headquar- terS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-With proportionately the greatest over-sub- scription ever accorded a federal se- curity issue indicated for the recently announced 20 to 30-year bond offering, the treasury decided tonight to de- cline to accept all subscriptions in excess of ten thousand dollars.
 The decision means that the widest distribution possible has been obtained for the new issue from which the treasury desired to realize only about two hundred millions in cash. It will continue until further notice to accept all subscriptions in which third liberty

Sweet potatoes may produce profitable crops on soil absolutely unprofitable to corn and cotton, and under such dry conditions that practically all other crops would perish. The cost of pro- duction is extremely low in comparison with any staple crop, and inasmuch as the crop may be planted very late, June and July. it becomes easy to, provide land for them that has already produced d profitable spring crop. The demand for sweet potatoes is practically un- limited constantly growing and the price steadily improving.
 There is great need for better seed selection, as the sweet potato mixes badly and degenerates rapidly in quality. The purity and growth of the seed stock is a tremendous factor in the resulting crop. Unfortunately the southern farm CT has been slow to realize the posslblll- ties of the sweet potato not only TOT farm consumption but as money crop. Three Surgery Important As Human

light League clash on Williams

spirit which made them heroes in
uniforms of different hue a few
short years ago, and have battered
until they seriously threaten the
prestige of the Calumets.
BY emerging victors from the
fray this afternoon. the Legion team
would have fair chance of stealing
the chs mpionship in the last second
dash for the wire. The Legion has

the soldiers half a game behind the
present league leaders. and a win
over the publishing house boys
would tie them all up for first po-
sition.
With a victory today, the Calumet
nine will have the pennant clinched.
but in the event they drop today's
game and the Legion defeated the
