Sunday afternoon the water

"I have come to you tonight for

Governor Smith has run to cover
from the assault upon his record"
Straton continued. He was in
structed to ignore me.
But how absurd is the position
into which be has gotte'' himself.
He cannot ignore Straton, and
Bishop Cannon, and William Allen
White and Superintendent Miller

The Governor, DR.. Straton said,

CONGRESS SEAT
BATTLE LOOMS
Reapportionment Advocates
Plan Drastic Tactics.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22,-Advo-
Gates of congressional reapportion-
ment will resort to extreme tactics
to force passage of bill redis-
tributing House seats, now eight
years overdue, in violation of the
constitutional mandate.
Governor Fred w. Green of Mich
igan, one of the chief losers from
the delay, has served notice he will
file court action questioning the
legality of measures affecting his
State.
The suit will be brought on the
ground that failure to reapporticr
the House as provided by the Con-
Stitution makes all bills unconsti-
tutional.
Some experts already have limited
that, should the presidential cleo
ton be close, the losing side might
go into the courts with the claim
that the electoral college as now
constituted had no legal basis. Elec-
toral votes are based on the num-
Der of Representatives and Senators
each State has.
Representative Mcleod, Michigan,
is trying to form f1libustering bloc
to hold up all legislative business at
the December session unless a re-
apportionment bill is given the right
of way.
Though his obstructive proposal
may not succeed, he has received
promises of support from $50 MEM
bers. The bill was defeated last
year.

Ministers here attending the ninety

Support of Hoover was recon-
mended by DR.. F. Scott Mcbride,

has been in public life for more
than twenty years and was started
on his way to political advancement
by the wet interests. The most
that can be said of him is that he

obedience to them"

But Physician Allows His
Name to Adorn Ticket:
He'll Vote for AL.

CHARLOTTE, N. c.. Sept o.
Out of the busy, but quiet life
of a country physician-a life he
had lived for forty years in the
community of Providence, a dozen
miles from here-the distinction of
nomination for the vice presidency
came to DR.. H. @. Alexander.
I'm very much surprised, but
I accept" was DR.. Alexander'S re-
Spouse.
How surprised he was may be
judged from the fact he previously
had not been identified in any
way with the Farmer-Labor party,
which nominated him and does not
know any of the party's national
leaders.
He'll Vote for AL
His friends always had regarded
him as a Stanch Democrat, and
Dr. Alexander said he would vot
for Al Smith for President.
Il don't know yet just how it
happened" DR.. Alexander said,
>snilingly. II received a telegram
from the Farmer-Labor .party's
executive committee asking wheth-
er I would accept the nomination
il it we're offered me. ! replied
that I would. THOUGH I would not
be able to make an active cam
paign.
Il accepted in spirit of protest
against the platforms of our two
main political parties"
Dr. Alexander. IS. sat in a large
old-fashioned rocker on the porch
of his country home as he talked.
His 4-year-old twin daughters
perched on his knees.
Opposed to Prohibition
He mentioned the McNary- Haul
gen bill, the present banking sys-
tenn of the country. and the Vol
stead act as some of his pet po-
litical averSions.
"Wall Street, bankers, not over
production, have caused the present
low prices for farm products, he
said. DR.. Alexander has run large
farm as we'll as conducted a med
ical practice throughout his life
in Mecklenburg county.
He supported prohibition, but be-
lieves something is radically wrong
with the Volstead law as it now
stands or with enforcement of it. d"
