control the Republican party. That
is their aim, even though they bring
about the election of a wet Democrat
in Wadsworths place in the Senate.
Their hope is that once Wadsworth
is defeated, there will be a new deal
and new leadership among the Re
publicans and that the new leadership
will be committed to prohibition.
On the other hand, victory for
Wadsworth will be a terrible blow to
the drys and a real victory for the
vets. The drys regard Wadsworth
| as the real candidate of the vets and
their organization. The vets would
far rather have Senator Wadsworth,
| a recognized leader in the Senate. than
have Wagner, a wet, but unknown
| nationally and without influence in
the upper House. The drys fear that
the Democrats will not be able to
keep in line for Wagner many of the
ultra vets.
Reports have it that thousands of
wet voters who will support Smith
for governor will at the same time
support Wadsworth for Senator. 1t
Is said in many Of the cities up State
Democratic vets will cast their votes
for Wadsworth in preference to
Wagner.
Senator Fights Courageously.
Senator Wadsworth has made a
courageous campaign. In the face of
dry disaffection in his own party, he
has not lodged the wet.and-dry issue.
He has gone into the dryest territory
up State and preached the gospel Of
liberality and tolerance and has de-
nounced prohibition as it has worked
out. A sample of the attacks which
Senator Wadsworth has launched
against the prohibitionists in sup
posedly bone-dry Sup-tate strongholds
follows:
prohibition has cast veil of
hypocrisy over our whole life. We
are hypocritical in private and public
about a doubtful virtue. And out of
our hypocrisy rises bigotry. Prohi-
bition has made neighbor spy upon
neighbor and set the tongue Of in
tolerance to wagging everywhere.
All Of us can see these results. But
where are the rewards of prohibi-
tions? Prohibition has had a fair
trial and has failed. The time has
come to correct our errors"
No mincing of words there. Yet
Judge Wagner has undertaken to
tell the voters that Wadsworth has
StraQdIed the pronlDlllOn issue, tnat
he has not always been so sincere
in his opposition to the dry laws.
1t is doubtful that the arguments
Of Judge Wagner have convinced
many of his hearers, however.
Effect of Defeat on Drys.
1t is easy to understand that If
Senator Wadsworth wins the Anti
Saloon Leagues influence with the
New York Republican party will
have vanished. The drys, while
able to prevent the inclusion of
wet plank in the Republican plat
form adopted at the State conven-
ton, were yet not strong enough to
prevent the nomination of wet cam
didates for Senator and governor.
Mills is regarded as wet as we'll
as Wadsworth. If Wadsworth is
now elected and Mills should in some
surprising manner squeeze through
to victory, the ousting of the drys
and the Anti-Saloon League will
have been complete.
Convinced that the swing is now
we'll started toward an old time vic
tory for Gov. Smith, the Democratic
organization is bending its efforts
to the election of Wagner. 1t
realizes that if it can elect second

My Impressions of America
By Her Majesty the Queen of Rumania.

I was much struck by the solemn
dignity Of the White House portico
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge received us with
much friendliness. and our converse
ton was as animated as such an
overformal visit would allow. Mrs.
Coolidge was charmingly amiable
with my young people. putting them
completely at their ease. and a. friend
ly spark lit the Presidents eye when
he looked upon their youth.
According to the somewhat absurd
custom adopted in every country,
hardly were we back in our legation
than the President and his wife drove
up to our door to pay back our call.
They were received with the same
ceremony with which we had been re-
ceived a quarter of an hour before.
This visit, however, ended upon a
humorous note: the never-to-be-avoid-
ed photographer claimed his rights
that tyrnnt against whom neither
king nor president can stand up.
The President. who had already put
on his hat and coat. took them off
again and patiently sat down with a
resigned face between Mrs. Coolidge
and myself, and submitted to the
camera.

Democrats Deny Prosperity.
Big guns Of the Democratic party
also were unlimbered to support the
work of their campaign committees,
which furnished an almost daily grlst
Of statements characterizing Coolidge
prosperity as myth and Republlcan
economy as a day dream.
With loud voice the Democrats de-
manded tax reduction at this session
of Congress. charging openly that 1t
was the deliberate purpose of the
President and the leaders of his party
to defer tax reduction for political ef-
feet in the 1923 presidential campaign,
despite a large surplus now in the
Treasury.
Tariff revision downward was
another demand and this at one time
led to personal verbal tilt between
Chairman Butler of the Republican
nntional committee, who is seeking
reelection to the Senate from MaSsa-
chusetts, and Chairman Oldfield of
the Democratic congressional cam
paiEn committee.
Stress also was laid by the Demo
Gratis on the failure of the Republican
Congress to enact farm relief legisla-
ton, while the Coolidge administra-
ton became a target on the ground
that it had fostered monopOlies.
Revelations before the Senate cam.
paign funds committee of huge ex-
penditures on Republican primaries
this year in Pennsylvania and Illinois
also were seized upon by the Demo
Gratis. They denounced what was de-
nominated as "Vareism" and accused
the opposition party with counte-
nancing the debauchery of the elec.
tOrate.

By the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, October
80.-Four years of investigation Of
the Oklahoma Usage Indian country
''reign of terror in which nearly a
score of persons met mysterious
deaths, have resulted in the convic.
ton in Federal Court here Of VIII
liam K. Hale, wealthy cattleman, as
the alleged leader of the slayers.
Known as King of the Usage
Hills" because Of his extensive ranch
holdings, Hale was arrested by state
agents nearly a year ago with John
Ramsey. cowboy rancher, on
charge of dynamiting the home OF
w. f. Smith, who. with his Indian
wife and a white servant girl, was
killed in the explosion. The State
charged Hale plotted to kill the family
to obtain control of a large fortune
secured by Smiths Usage wife from
oil royalties.
Government Took Case.
With the finding Of more bodies in
isolated places, the Government en-
tered the case, and when Henry
Roam, Usage tribesman, was found
shot to death in a pasture, Hale ana
Ramsey were charged with the muir
der. The Government claimed 5uris-
diction and the men were convicted
in Federal Court here yesterday.
Both were sentenced to life impriSon-
ment.
Conviction Of Hale and Ramsey
places three of the alleged leaders or
the murder ring" under life SEN
tence. Ernest Burkhart, nephew
of Hale, previously confessed after a
long trial that he was implicated In
the Smith killings. He also was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment, after
naming Hale as the inStigator OF the
plot.
Evidence throughout the Burkhart
and Hale trials was to the erect that
Hale planned the killings and hired
gunner to slay the wealthy Indians.
Ramsey confessed several months ago
that he lured Roam to the pasture
and shot him to death on a promies
that Hale would give him $500 and an
automobile.
COnvicts Gave Testimony.
Ramsey later repudiated the con-
fession, claiming Government agents
had obtained it under duress, which
the secret service men denied.
Witnesses at the two trials included
several convicts serving long terms in
various middle western prisons. Dewey
Self, a "squaw man." serving 20
year term in the Federal prison at
Leavenworth, who was one of the last
to testify, escaped from hotel here
last night. He was convicted or US

DAUGHTERS OF TO-DAY
By HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR

The knowledge that she was the most
attractive woman at the WestCott din
ner gave her a certain self-assurance.
And then there was the knowledge
that Perry's dark eyes hardly left her
face. He paid her the subtlest and
most charming of compliments. He
made her feel that she was the only
woman present who interested him In
the slightest degree, and yet he did
not make her conspicuous. He han
died everything too we'll for that.
After dinner they all played bridge,
and Martha, as Perry's partner. held
good cards, and played rather bril-
liantly. 1t occurred to her that she
had never played so well before. When
she played with John she was always
fearful of his cutting remarks. He
contended that no woman could play
decent hand of bridge. anyway. and
because he made her nervous Martha.
often made the most absurd and UNI
forgivable mistakes. At times Ike
this he was never chary OF criticizinG

How different was Perry, with his
carefully calculated compliments. But
then she had made no mistakes this
evening.
II was nearly ] o'clock before thu

down together in the elevator. 1t was
rather crowded, and Martha stood

up at him. and felt the color hot In
her cheeks as she met the warm look
