TAMMANY IDEA NOT =
IN u
Lifelong Democrats Indorse
C.. O. p. Candidate.

Thousands of letters continue to
pour into Republican National head
quarters extolling the fitness OF
Hoover for the Presidency and citing
the reasons why many old Democrats
are finding themselves voting for q
Republican for the first time this
year. The letters are from every sec.
ton of the country and represent
every scale of society, yet they are
alike in their admiration of the candi-
date.
From the bayous Of Louisiana, @.
Cottingham, president of Louisiana
college at Pineville turns from his
educational pursuits to say, "You need
only to call on me for any special
service l may render Hoover. The
state of Louisiana will cast the
largest Republican vote in its history
and some of the southern states will
60 Republican, l am sure"
In New York city, George L. Upshur,
lifelong Democrat and a son OF the
late Rear Admiral Upshur, visits the
Republican speakers bureau to tell
Col. John @. Tilson that Governor
Smith symbolizes the return of the
legalized liquor traffic and the Tam
many idea in politics. The old South,
solidly Democratic for so long, Is
weakening, he said.
Rock-ribbed Republican West vir-
ginia will remain that way, Charles
q. Carrigan of Charleston writes. The
national ticket, headed by Herbert
Hoover, has the unqualified respect
Of virginians and the local ticket as
we'll as the state ticket are both
unusually strong in the present cam
paign, according to Mr.. Carrigan.
"The- main issue of the campaign is
the continuation of prosperity and
high wages under a Republican adj
m~inistration," says Representative
Hamilton Fish, Jr., of the Twenty
sixth New York district. "Mr. Ras-
kob knows better than the majority
Of American people that prosperity
as not beer ; myth and it is par
ticularly ~unbecoming of him to deny
it," he added.
"The state OF New York has a lot
Of farmers who are laughing at the
idea of Governor Smith going West
to solve the farmers problem. They
have never Endorsed him as their
candidate in their own state and they
know that his knowledge of farm
ing and relief was gained through a
pullman car window" Representative
Fish declared.

Compare the Candidates

1t is evident that Governor Smith
regards the farm problem as the su-
preme challenge to the next admin
istration. Which is better fitted to
deal with it-Hoover, the product of
an Iowa farm with worldwide expert
ence in great business enterprises,
and with the cooperation of another
product of the wheat and corn belt,
Charles Curtis, or the governor of a
seaboard state, without a farm back
ground or any intimate knowledge of
farm conditions?-Kansas City Star.

Smith Menace to Labor

Election Of Gov. al Smith would
be "a menace to organized labor"
Dan G. Smith. leader of the Switch
mems Union Of North America, said
upon his appointment as director of
labor of the western Republican cam
paign headquarters.
Herbert Hoover is generally re-
garded by organized labor as safe"
said Mr.. Smith. The, men and women
OF organized labor and wager earners
in general are beginning to see the
absurdity of the al Smith promises

Farmers See the Light

1t is admitted that the farm vote
will largely 60 to the Democratic NOM
inees. Not only is the party platform
specific in the matter Of relief legis-
latioh, but In contrasting 1t with the
%vagueness of the Republican platform,
and the evasive viewpoints of the Re-
publican candidates, it is refreshing
and hearteDing to great groups of
American citizens who have been lit
orally brought to their knees during
the eight years of the Republican adj
ministration.

Hoover and the Farmer

Governor Smiths st. Paul speech
puts all the farm leaders who r
supporting Mr.. Hoover in an unten-
able position. Mr.. Hoover's plan of
farm relief is far removed from that
of the farmers themselves. He wants
to make the tariff, which their expe-
rience discounts as an aid, the basis
of farm relief. Nowhere has he said
that he would have signed the Nc
Nary. Haugen bill had he been in the
White House, nor car it be assumed
that lie will do so IL he Is elected.

In short, the reason for the I'M
%precedented break in party ties is
that on all important issues Governor
Smith has definite, c%ourageously
avowed programs, while Hoover has
met them only with political "fub-
dubbery," evasions and meaningless
generalities.

A ONE.CLuR LEAGUE

Many doleful predictions are being made as to the
future of the American Baseball League. Some pes
smiss say that unless the domination Of the New York
Yankees is ended every other team in the leagu, will
show annual treasury deficit 1t is argued that
the New York club has been winning too consistent,
during the last eight seasons for the good of the
league.
Following out this line of reasoning, it has been sug-
gested that COL Jacob Rupert of the Yankees,
should scatter his stars among the other in order
to restore the proper balance. Colonel RUPERT who
purchased the club when it hopeless second dvi-
sion team and who by the expenditure of much time and
money made it virtually invncble, has given ird-
cation of taking any such advice.
At md-season fan interest in the league dropped dis
turbingy because the Yankees seemed to have cnched
the league pennant. The subsequent Yankee slump
and winning streak Of the Philadelphia Athletics was
the second best thing that could have happened to the
league. The only thing the league needed more was
first place occupied the end of the season by club
other than Colonel Rupperts.
Next year the fans hope the other seven American
league teams will produce teams that will put up a
good fight against the New York club, so the cham
pionshp will be in doubt until the seasons end. If
they fail again, the league will lose more fans to the
National League which this year staged good fight

This has proved great season for beauty contests
and the end is not yet. The picture section of almost
Sunday paper decorated with pictures of prize

that are not generously sprinked with cuts of aspr-

While average male readers will be disposed to con-

chrtude are restful to the eye and worth lingering
look few of them will be inclined to admit that the
lovely faces at which they look are near as lovely as
certain faces that they carry photographed in their
hearts. To almost every one woman is more

murder charge brought by California authorities He
was first taken into custody on mere notification
that he wanted but to hold him cr extradition it
necessary that he be arrested on definite
for murder.
This warrant arrived and was served. But Canadian
laws forbid the serving of warrant on man in Jail.
So Northcott formally released; them as he
stepped out Of the JAIL he was re-arrested served with
the warrant and led back to his cell
All of this hccuspocus undoubtedly necessary
But, say, it makes the devious ways Of the law
seem a bit involved and confusing
