LONDON, Oct. 10.-Facing the

on record and thu shortest permis-
sible under the law, party headquar.
ters today were scenes of whiriwind
activity, none of them having clos.
ed their doors through the night.
Prime Minister Macdonald and

fair may bring to close England s

in office, continued drafting the
party's manifesto for the election
October %.
Mae Donald announced he would
start from Glasgow Monday on Il
four day automobile trip in which
he would tour the industrial dis.
triets making brief addresses at all
of the cities and villages enroute.
Lloyd George is expected TO leave

tour similar to that of 1928. The
Liberals deeply, resent Macdonald n
haste in calling the election, point.
ing out that barely l4slay@1rynain

The Conservatives, IL is believed.
are planning coalition with the
Liberal in many districts, partieu-

Loo al Fans At
High Pitch
Today

Excitement reached a high
pitch today among local fans who
gathered by the hundreds in
front Of the Press office to
watch returns on the last game
Of the famous 1924 world series.
BY reason of the fact that the
series was a tie at the end of
the game yesterday, interest was
at white heat today, with the ma
jority Of the fans favoring the
Senator's because CT plucky fight
they had put UP against various
odds.
When the game tied in the
eighth inning and continued to
remain tied until the twelfth, the
situation became so tense that
the various frenzied fans who
poured over the United Press
automatic printer in the Press
office became like small boys and
shouted and kicked up their
heels in their excitement.
That all survived the strain
and excitement attendant upon
the events is something to be
thankful for, and in closing, we
rise to remark that it's a good
thing for all concerned that the
world series comes only once q
year.
