fidence in each other necessary

ROBINSON SAYS
DEMOCRATS FOR

United Press Staff Correspond ent

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-Sen-
ator Joseph T. Robinson came into
the home territory of Herbert Hoov-
er today to wage the campaign of
the Democratic presidential NOM
inees.
The candidate for vice-president
invaded San Francisco after an adj
dress in Los Angeles last night in
which he pledged support to plans
for development of the Boulder Can
yon Dam project
Governor Alfred f. Smith, Robin
son said, made clear in his Denver
speech his Interpretation of the wa
ter power plan of the Democratic
platform. "No doubt exists in the
mind of any one who read or heard
his address as to what he believes
should be done. The title and con-
| troll of the site and the works is to
be retained in the public to assure
reasonable rates and equitable dis
tribution.'
"The sole purpose of the policy
proposed in the platform, Senator
Robinson continued, "is to preserve
and safeguard the rights of the pub
lie. Surely no fairminded citizen
can object to this.
Refers to Hoover
"Good faith efforts to prevent
monopoly and extortion in connec-
ton with utilities interfere with no
vested right. They take nothing
! from any one to which he is en-
titled in justice and sound prin-
ciple. -
The candidate charged that "Mr
! Hoover has not defined his attitude
respecting this important subject
He mentioned it in an address de.
! livered in this city Of Los Angeles
and referred to water power only
in a general way in his acceptance
| Speech
"Governor Smith takes the public
into his confidence. He explains
| his views and defines his position
without apology or evasion. Mr.
Hoover covers up his meaning III
many words, and remains perfectly
complacent while the public debates
what his real opinion may be-
"The undertaking Of the Demo
cratic party Robinson declared
"is to serve the public, not the
power trust. -

May 81, IS64.--The 1st Massachu-

men. arrived I'm this city this morning
on the steamer Utica on their way home,
their term of service having expired. In
their rear were between IA and Is men
who we're without arms and were not
allowed TO associate with their COM
mades because In one of the recent
fights they skulked from duty. They
fought afterward, but IT was understood
that they could not help themselves,
circumstances beyond their control
compelling them 10 wade in. 1t is un-
dcrstood that these men will be plac-
arded "Cowards and Skulkers," and In
this plight will be marched home.
At $3.50 o'clock this morning the War
Department received dispatch from
Gen. Grant telling OF an effort last eve
ming by Ewell's corps to turn the right
wing OF our army. The Confederates
were promptly respulsed by Birney's
and Tyler's divisions and some Of War
ren's trops that were on our extreme
right. About 800 prisoners fell into
our hands and the Confederates had
many killed and wounded. Our losses
foot up 10 little more than 600 wound
ed and about $50 killed and missing
Gen. Grant says that probably the
killed and missing are oVerstated
Over IS 900 veteran reinforcements have
been forwarded 10 Gen Grant
About 100 men Of the lst u. S Cav
airy who were with Gen. Sheridan in
his late raid and lost their horses have
arrived here from Fortress Monroe and
been sent to OiesborO To be Tefnounted.

Tuesday. May %.


Tomorrow should be a fairly fortu-
nate day, according to aStrology, which
finds that the aspects are better III the
afternoon than in the earlier hours.
Financial affairs are we'll directed
and all the signs appear to presage in
crease OF prestige on the part OF the
banks.
Bankers are to extend their interests
into many lines of business and to
gain great power, it is prophesied.
Again the stars smile on editors and
publishers. who will profit greatly from
advertising.
Under this rule Of the stars. intrigue
and deception are supposed TO be more
prevalent than at other times.
Inclination to conceal facts or To
misrepresent is said to be common
when Neptune is in malefic sway.
1t Is not an auspicious day for seek
ing employment, and it is well to delay
action.
Men and women of super-intelligence
and training will be in demand as
never before. the seers explain. The
end of the year will bring important
openings to many men and women,
astrologers foretell.
Danger Of nervous breakdown Is sup
posed 10 be great at this time, when q
tendency toward over-exertion may be

Warning is given that the temptation

moon.
Self-control and poise should be cul-
tivated as never before, because there
will be many sources OF irritation while
this configuration prevails.
Children born on that day probably
will be gentle and kindly in nature,

through many varied experiences that
require strength of character TO meet.
