.hicago's Ballot
Short, All Right,
But 4 Feet Wide
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 30.-Advocates
of the short ballot will exc small
satisfaction from the freak ballot
that will confront Chicago voters at
the polls next week. The slip of
paper on which the voters will mark
down their choice for municipal
judges will be only six inches long,
but four feet one inch wide.
The reason for the unusual shape
was the large number of independ-
ent candidates for the bench, each
of whom must be allotted a separate
column headed by the c'party')

LONDON, October 80 R.-A
Portishead dispatch to the

that the Graf Zeppelin had

The above dispatch was radioed from
tlne Mauretania to the Associated Press
by way of Portishead. 1t had been filed
at 1919 pm. G:19 am. Eastern stand
ard time).
The position given by the Mauretania
would place the Graf Zeppelin approx
r1ately 500 miles east of Cape Race.
Irasmuch as the Mauretania was only
in radio communication, it was not
definitely known how far north the
dirigible was. An area within so miles
north of the Mauretania would place
the Graf Zeppelin somewhere due east
of Cape Race, probably somewhat south.
Headed Toward France.
This would indicate that the Graf
Zeppelin was swinging southwark again
to take a course along the 46th parallel
as was expected by German aviation
experts. A course along this parallel
would carry her toward Central France.
Inasmuch as the Mauretania reported
a moderate southeast gale, 1t would ap-
pear that the Graf Zeppelin had lost
the aid of the fayoring tail winds
which thus far have enabled her to
make good speed. The average speed
from the time she was last reported,
$50 miles northeast of Cape Race, was
approximately 10 miles an hour.

Attention to the radio advertising
situation is also attracted by the
recent absorption OF a big automo-

radio broadcasts or "Victory Hours"

the company $4,000. But in spite

, Yanks looks like no contest" in
the American league. During the
spring training season many of
| the so-called expert" observers pre-
dicted a terrible slump in the Yam
kee camp, but they were Judging
only from the spring tour before the
season started. When the regular
season opened the Yanks started
with a punch and since have not
been outdistanced nor even given
enough trouble to make them think
that there might be some danger
The "crooshial" time would come
when the Yanks would meet the
Athletics, the wise old birds predict
ed, and how "crooshial" the series
were everyone knows. So far the
only team in the league from which
trouble was expected In large
measure fell down terribly before
the onslaught OF the Iank bludgeon
totters, the Athletics losing seven
games out OF ten played. AS to the
remaining members OF the junior
league they look alike to the mas
ters of baseball and they so down
one by one under the terrific attack
Of Ruth, Gehrig. Lazzeri and others.
Who can stop ther? The Yanks
have the best collection Of tielders
and pitchers in the league and from
all indications, no team is able to
change this state OF affairs in the
American league-uninterest to
the average baseball fan. who would
like to see a closer battle for the
league championship.
There was a similar condition in
the same league some fifteen years
ago when Mack's elephants walked
all over the other contestants,
crushing every possible attempt to
dislodge them from the first place.
What was the result? The fans took
the matter into their hands and
knowing how uninteresting the race
was, stopped patronizing the games
with the result that Mack had to
break up one of the greatest COM
binations in baseball history in or
der to save the national pastime in
Philadelphia. The same situation is
facing the Yankees. If they continue
to ride roughshod over the other
teams, there will be a loss of inter-
est in the game and a consequent
loss Of money to the franchise own
ers. No one cares to see a game
where there is no fighting chance
for the opponent Just as no one
would care to See a boxing match
between the heavyweight champion
and an opponent from the lghter
ranks. The time is nearing when
the Yankees Will be compelled to
break up their great machine to
save the national game if they want
to keep the interest of the averag"
baseball fan. So far the race in the
junior circuit is mo contest af-
fair. just as it was fifteen years
ago.

THE OBSER YER

which was answered with platitudes
and promises which were never kept,
Within the past few years a re-
alignment OF influence in congress
has made it possible for these repre-
( sentatiNes from the midwestern
states to win recognition. They have
lost no time about reaping dividends
1 from their improved status. The
adoption OF the McNary- Haugen
/ farm relief measure by congress was
an acknowledging of their power.
Its veto by President Wilson was a
severe blow to their prestige al
though il is said that many of them
voted for the measure fully aware
that they would put the President in
hole and expecting that he would
veto it.
II is probable that the delegates to
the republican convention will
readjust their views on what con-
stitutes an ideal social organiza-
ton. The midwesterners are confi-
dent that they have broken the back
bone of eastern influence and that
| the agrarian will find his position
improved. Here practical politics
enters because republican leaders
realize that they cannot hope to
elect their national ticket in the fall
without the assistance Of the electoral
votes from the states which provide
the country's crops
Nature has given to each of US
will to survive. Whether it be as in
dividuals or as geographical and vo-
cational groups. we fight for our ex-
istence. The embattled farmer in
tends to have his say. In statement
issued from congressional district

made: IN the election Of 1928 We
will consider the first law-that of
self preservation-param to all
other Obligations whether Of party
or otherwise. and will reward our
friends and punish our enemies"

bling up The little fish. At present it
is puzzle to identify the big from
the little. The east has written the
commandments OF government but
the Voice of the west is being heard
and perhaps the west will develop

contention that the ideal social or
ganization is one which recognizes
the importance Of the agriculturist in
affairs of government.
