Wonder Whether Farm Bloc
Will Organize Anew

Washington, June 10 tUPl-The
dilemma of middle western repub-

politicians returning from the Kan

Will the farm bloc led by Senator
Norris OF Nebraska form a third
party desert to the democratic party
or support the Hoover-Curtis ticket .
Norris Uncertain

certainty.
In two statements issued since the
convention he has declared opposi-
ton 70 third party movenen. - gen.
eral and bitterly attacked Herbert

nominated him.
He has remained silent, however,
about Governor Alfred +. Smith, the
leading democratic candidate.
Some politicians see in his attitude
strong possibility that Norris
might turn to the democratic party
ii the platform adopted at Houston
meets with his approval
Others are confident the middle
western farm bloc will either climb
on the Hoover band wagon or stand
aside to let 1t pass. taking no active

ALIAS THE SPOOK

stroy and poverty might stimu-
late to abnormal activity and so
be quite as destructive
Mary asked herself many ques-
tions as the days went by.
Why had the red-haired bandit
sent her white roses? Had he
: actually recognized her that day
of the bank hold-up, when she
met his eyes as he was tumbling
out of the car?
Something seemed to lie in the
blank spaces between the printed
lines by which newspapers told OF
the robbery. What was this mys-
terry? Were people afraid of the
gang?
For example. nearly everybody
who had been around the corner
near the bank seemed to have
forgotten most things of any i'm.
portance. Even the Greek who
had dived under his counter in
the candy store could recall
practically nothing. He had
heard shots, but, being a poor
man and peaceable, as he said,
AS hhu SoA6 out MS DdCk uOOF
and escaped, He had seen no
bandits, no car, no gun.
We'll, / never!' said Mary to
herself. "And he stood right be-
side me and said, Look. machine
gum"
OF course, the Greek was afraid
of the gangsters and so were all
the others. Hadn't she lost her
own nerve sitting there in the
precinct station. waiting to tell
the captain what she knew?
Though that was not fear exactly.
she assured herself. At least. not
altogether.
Aunt Julia gave q small dinner
party one evening and among the
guests was an elderly man whose
white hair and piercing eyes
kindled Mary's imagination. When
she heard him addressed as Judge
Wilmer" and understood he was a
Supreme Court jurist. she de-
termined to ask him about the
things which puzzled her.
