INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE ENDEAvORING
TO GET" HOOVER

The United States Senate in their pristine pur-
ity passed a resolution early last week authorizing
the investigation of the expenditures of candidates
for the United States Senate
That is perfectly proper-but there is Mig
ger in the wood pile, apparently
Under the resolution Vice President Charles
A. Dawes was to appoint the committee.
Dawes is potential candidate for the United
States Presidency AS matter of fact it is generally
conceded that he is the card the opponents of Sec
retary Hoover have up their sleeve to spring at the
proper time in death struggle to defeat Mr.. Hoov-
err 1t looks like Mr. Dawes committee has been
packed This procedure is not unusual when
necessity requires.
From the personnel of the committee and their
attitude in their examination the Herald is con-
WINGED that the thought back of the investigation
was to ''get" Hoover.
One reading between the lines of the testimony
and the manner in which witnesses have been hand
led would arrive at this conclusion. Mr. Hoover
himself and his friends on the stand have been
grilled numerically, although attempt was made
by either Mr.. Hoover or his managers to cover up
any facts.
Monday Mr.. Lowden on the stand and was
the picture of injured innocence The Senate COM
mittee was very careful not to hurt his feelings.
Evidently they have forgotten that Mr.. Lowden was
defeated for the presidential nomination in 1920
because of the of money paid, as the Herald
editor remembers, directly to delegates from Mis-
souri,. Mr. Lowden discaimed any knowledge o1
the use of this money, and he may have been in
nocent but the disclosure defeated him for the
nomination.
In his testimony Monday Mr.. Lowden did not
mention the money spent in Minnesota. Perhaps
there wasn't any. For weeks before the Minnesota
convention elaborate headquarters with big staff
were maintained at the St. Francis Hotel, ST. Paul.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1928-05-17

and for some time following the convention, at
least, the headquarters were kept open
Ed Backus, Minneapolis lily white lumber bar
on has admitted that he has opened his barrel lib
orally in politics when occasion required. He is an
aggressive opponent of Mr.. Hoover, and there are
quite a sprinkling of folks in the State who have
bunch that Backus was the angel behind the Low
den campaign in this State Many of his ardent
supporters in Minnesota have not always had the
reputation of working strictly from patriotic mo-
tives in their political endeayors.
The Herald editor knows enough about politics
to realize that large sums of money be expended
legitimately in National campaign. According to
the Hoover testimony less than $4,000 spent in
Minnesota prior to the convention. There were no
paid emissaries travelling up and down the state
and elaborate headquarters were not maintained
The above written Tuesday morning. AT
Tuesdays hearing of the U. S. Senate Committee

to oppose Mr.. Hoover's candidacy has lost $500
week since the first issue JAM Z. The Minnesota
primary was brought out in this connection.
State Senator Claude Mckenzie, the Lowden
manager in Minnesota, left quietly for Washington
Tuesday and perhaps he may go on the stand. II
he does the Herald will watch with interest his dis
closure of expenditures in the Lowden campaign in
this state, as well as where the money came FROM

FRANK MURPHY TAKES SELF TOO
SERIOUSLY

Frank Murphy, of Wheaton, lawyer, who has
gained some national notorety because of his ac-
tivity in behalf of the McNary- Haugen bill, is TAX
ing himself rather seriously.
From his statements one would almost gather
that the political future Of Minnesota rests on his
shoulders.
He has been made member of the resolution
committee at the National convention which con-
venes next month at Kansas City
That's perfectly all right.
Frank is loquatious individual, and delights
breaking into the public print
He is delegate to the National convention,
and will take part in drafting his party's PLATFORM
yet he boldly, ntimates that if Mr.. Hoover is NOM
mated he will bolt his party ticket.
His boiling wouldn't cut any particular figure
in his state or his immediate locality. What the
Herald is trying to bring out is that he is showing
all the tendencies of poor loser.
By the time convention date arrives Mr.. Hoov-
er's nomination will be an assured fact. If the Her
aid editor was in Mr.. Murphy's place. and intended
to bolt the nominee of the convention, he wouldn't
have CUTS enough to go into the convention and as
sist in drafting the platform of a candidate when
he did not intend to support after he nominated

successful actors of America have
issued forth from my companies?
At this very moment the two most
talked of theatrical organizations
in New York are definitely con-
sidered repertory companies.
But why should New York be
allowed to monopolize Indian
apolis' actors at any season of the
year? Why should Indianapolis not
have its own home theater open
the year around at prices within
the reach of everyone, giving the
best plays with the best actors
available, and now and then trying
the experiment of developing a
playwright or two by giving chances
to new plays? Such an organiZa-
ton can be very easily started here
under the right plan.
Nov we can see such fine actors
as George Gaul, Gavin Gordon,
Mckay Morris, Elliot Nugent,
Blanche Yurka, Peggy Wood, Muriel
kirkland, Marie Adels, Elizabeth
Taylor and Elizabeth Patterson
during the summer months. These
are the same actors who play
leads in New York at top prices
Why doesn't Indianapolis have
them for its own most of the year,
letting them go away when they
cannot be used here? Why doesn't
Indianapolis take it's opportunity
of becoming the first American city
outside of New York to establish
big repertory theater which will
help to make history in the theater
at this time when the theater is
changing very rapidly from a bust
ness centered in one city to an
art centered in many cities?
"A winning local theater that has
the respect of the whole country
would be one of the greatest adj
vertising assets any city could have
as great as a pennant winning
baseball team or a successful SYM
phony orchestra or the leading
producing plant in any industry"
Local theaters today offer: "East
Side, West Side" at English's; 1.-The
Jest" at Keith's; Charlie Davis at
the Indiana; Eddie Pardo at the
Circle; Drums of Love" at the
Palace; Pat Lane at the Fountain
Square; sally of the Sawdust" at
the Colonial; 1.-THE Patent Leather
Kid" at the Ohio; all comedy bill
at the Lyric; THE Jazz Singer" at
the Apollo and burlesque at the

CITY OF 100000

Allentown, Pa, Population Doubles
in IS Years.
By United Press
ALLENTOWN, Pa, May 17,-En-
try of this city into the 100000 pop
ulation class will be signalized today.
Allentown has doubled its popu-
lation in eighteen years, and tripled
its area in the last decade. 1t was
founded by Chief Justice William
Allen, of the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court, in 1852; incorporated as a
borough in 1911 and as city in
1867.
\ Extensive plans have been made
for the celebration. 1t is expected
that the dirigible Los Angeles will
be sent here, as we'll as a squadron
of seven planes from the naval base
at Philadelphia. A pageant and
parade are planned.
