 A search of his pockets disclosed the complex, inner machinery of the great system whereby beggars are able to make ends meet and enjoy life in the face of strict po- lice regulations against mendican- cy.
 The president was pursuing his way thoughtfully across the rich Perigourdian countryside, with a knapsack on his back and not a sou in his pocket, when two gen. darmes stopped him to examine his papers.
 They found more papers than they had bargained for. The pres ident had no official papers, to be sure, and declined to give his name, but he possessed in divers ragged pockets hundreds of little squares of paper containing the marks of the special signs by

CRICSBY HITS FISHERIES LAW
 IN TERRITORY
Candidatee Declares Con trol Is by One Man Who
 Can Ruin Territory

SEWARD, Alaska, Oct. S.@"The Fisheries Bureau cares more for fish than it does for the fisher men, said George B. Grigsby. Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress, addressing a large mass meeting here, Saturday night.
 The candidate declared that the greatest industry of Alaska is ab- solutely at the mercy of one man who can arbitrarily stop fishing overnight and ruin whole con- mnnity or district.
 MT. Grigsby stood for Alaska control of the fisheries as well as other resources, and he was for home rule for the Territory. which could only be granted by Congress and could not be given by the Controller Bill in the Ter rltorys own Legislature about which MT. Sutherland is making so much noise.
 The candidate declared that Sutherland is attacking candidates for the Legislature as if he were running for that job.
 Endoroes Smith
 MT. Grigsby said he supported Gov. Alfred F. Smith as one of the greatest Governors New York ever had and who, if elected, would be a friend of Alaska. But. he said, If Hoover and Sutherland were elected, Sutherland would never have look in at Washing ton because he called Hoover a l crook and thief. and that Hoover had not forgotten it.
 The candidate denounced bu- reaucfacy as one of the crying evils of Alaska and declared for Alaska for Alaskans with the right | to develop their own resources without too much conservation. He | said that Alaska had gone back | ward ever since the evil advent of | Pinchotism in the Territory.
 Hits Bone Dry Law
 MT. Grigsby declared that he fayors the immediate repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law, which 1 works an injustice in this Terri i tory where it is enforced in some districts and is not in others He | said it is unfair that man should ge one year in jail and $1,000 line for drunkenness here while he could walk down the street of 1 unmolested.

Democratic iNomineeCounts Heavily on Last Days

MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Oct. B.
 Associated Press Summary for First Week in Octoberl. Still making precedents the Presidential campaign enters the concluding weeks with both sides widening rather than concentrating the front of attacks for election day just one month ahead.
 In an ordinary campaign the first week in October would sec large percentage of the States classified, excluding them from the zone of heavy fire. Not so this year. The Democrats are spend ing precious time and talent in the Republican strongholds of Kan sas and Iowa and the Republicans claiming half of the electoral votes of the South and seeking to carry the Hoover appeal to every voter in states like Georgia and Texas.
 The most spectacular skirmish campaign is taking place in the Northern farm belt where for years the Democrats have been in a hopeless minority. Gov. Smiths passage through North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin was fol- lowed by rallying of friends and foes alike. Senator Borah. sum- his force of eloquence to the support of Hoover, came into the Northwest to answer Gov. Smith. He will be followed by some of the ablest Democrats.
 c. o. p. Now Hopeful
 Republicans, including James W. Good, Hoover's Western Manager. say the Northwestern States have now turned away from Gov. Smith. Earlier Republican apprehensions there are being replaced by grow ing confidence. On the other hand, the Democrats insist that the 1efections there from Hoover is likely to turn the whole group of States Democratic.
 While leaders were disputing over Hoover's chances in the South, the Republican nominee contributed a memorable chapter o the Southern campaign by bring ng his heel down on Republican ise of the religious issue against iov. Smith, repudiating a tract dis fibuted by Mrs. Willie W. Cald- we'll, Republican National Cemmit- eewoman for Virginia. Hoover old workers explicitly that he wanted non etc attack his oppon- mt on religious grounds. He also approved of a similar repudiation Iddress by Secretary Hubert Work o Oliver Street, Republican Ma ional Committeeman from Ala
