WOMAN'S ELECTION
TO HOUSE FOUGHT
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen Called
Ineligible, Due to Citizenship,
by G. O. P. Opponent.
BY the Associated Press.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, November 3d.
Contending that Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen, daughter of the late William
jennings Bryan, is ineligible to hold a
seat in Congress because of her mar
riage in 1910 to British subject, MAJ
Reginald Owen, member of the Britisl
Royal Engineers, William Lawson, Re
publican, who was defeated by Mrs
Owen recently, today continued plans
for a congressional contest.
In event Congress intercedes, it will
be the first case in which a woman's
membership of Congress has been CEN
tested by the House.
Lawson lost in his first move to pre-
vent Mrs. Owen from serving when Gov
John w. Martin declined the formers
request to refuse issuance Of a certifi-
cate of election to Mrs. Owen on the
grounds of her questioned citizenship.
Mrs. Owen, who is in the West on
lecture tour, is said by friends to re-
gard Lawson's contest threat as a joke,
inasmuch as her status had been ques-
toned before the election and that the
voters had selected her.

The question of the American cit
izenship status of Mrs. Ruth Bryan
owen. Democratic Representative-elect
from Florida and daughter of the late
William Jennings Bryan, has not been
placed before the Labor Department.
Arthur E. Cook, assistant to the Sec
rotary of Labor. said that no query
about Mrs Owens status had been
made as yet. Mrs. ovens citizenship
was questioned because of her marriage
to Maj. Reginald A. Owen, a British
subject, who died as result of World
War wounds in 1927. Cook said the
Labor Department would have no juris-
diction.
Miss Bryan and Owen were married
in Lincoln, Nebr.. May 8, 1910. Under
laws then existing, she acquired the
citizenship of her husband.

three persons in addition to the field
personnel. fire-fighting and first-aid
equipment, ground signal devices, and

Who shall own the airport?
The answer of the engineers to
this question is as follows: at
would seem logical that the owner-
ship and administration Of the air
port might very well be a function of
the municipal governments, although
there will naturally be privately-own-
ed fields. The transportation COM
panies then would be relieved Of the
necessity Of heavy ground e~xpendi-
lures. The use of the airport and
its equipment would be available to
all airlines, thus creating a common

SAYS.

TN the three-cornered presidential
1contest of 1912, Maine went
Democratic by a plurality of about
5000. Four years later, Maine gave
Hughes, the Republican candidate
a majority of about 5000. In 1920,
Maine rolled up majority of near
ly 10000 for Harding. In the CUB
ernatorial election of 1924, Maine
went Republican by $4,000. This
year Maine goes Republican by more
than 5000.
incidentally, Maine has had more
experience with prohibition than
any other State. 1t was authorized
by statute more than seventy years
ago, and by constitutional amend
ment more than forty years ago.
1t has figured as the chief issue in
gubernatorial campaigns many
times. Though sentiment has varied,
the anti-prohibitioniSts never have
won a clean-cut victory. They have
however, whitfield down the major
ity TO as low as 5000.
The present result suggests that
Maine either has gone dryer than
ever, or that prohibition is not cut
ting much Of figure.

Good Story, but

According to a dispatch from De-
troit, Edwin P. Doty, lo1 and a life
long Republican, is not sure
whether he should be allowed to
register. 1t is a case of conscience,
as he explained to the registration
clerk.
"You know" he said, II don't
know whether I should be allowed
to register or not"
whats the matter?" he was
asked.
you see," he replied, 81 voted
years ago when was only ninetee !
years old for 'Tippecanoe and Tyler,
too"
How long ago was that2" asked
the clerk, who was not as familiar
with American history as he should
have been.
well, it was a long time ago-in
1885," said Doty. II voted for Har-
rison in that year because lie would
not wait to be a candidate until I
was twenty-one."
A good story, but badly mixed as
to dates. In 1846, William Henry
Harrison had been dead five years.
And Doty, if he had voted for him
at the age of nineteen would be 107
instead of 101.

The New Challenge

''Put up or shut up" was once the challenge
of those who wanted to emphasize their belief
and faith in their own argument.
1t was usually an effective answer. The
man who was not ready to back his opinions,
lost the argument.
The same challenge in different language,
is being made to the sincerity of Indiana
citizens this fall.
1t is a challenge to their faith in common
honesty and common decency.
1t is a chellenge to their ability to triumph
over hate, prejudice, bigotry and partisan
blindness.
1t is presented by the candidacy OF Frank
DALEY for Governor and brings to every citizen
the necessity of asking just where he stands on
Stephensonism and all the influences and forces
which that evil genius of Indiana brought into
political life.
After the Black Boxes had belched their
scandals of pearl necklaces and written con-
tracts with Congressman, after the Governor
had explained the sale of $4,000 riding horse
that died on corn cob, after he had success
fully pleaded the statute of limitations and
held his job to announce that Harry Leslie is
Just the man he would have picked for his sue
cessor, the decent Republicans said there must
be new deal and cleanup.
There was no cleanup. Thousands of Re-
publicans, majority almost, voted for Tom
Adams and Fred Lands in a divided effort to
get the cleanup, only to see the dragons and
the COLLINS run their convention and pick
nominee not noted for any helpfulness in clean
ing up.
The nominee picked was the speaker Of the
House who called a gathering of his party
members to make party policy the turning
down of an investigation later conducted by
grand jury.
1t remains for the voters to declare whether
they will indorse the statute of limitations of
stand for honesty.
The same old forces are again attempting to
get back into power. They are organizing, as
best they can, the old forces of hate. They are
insulting the fine record of Herbert Hoover by
attempting to use his influence and his popular
ity as means Of binding the voters of their
own party to the real condition.
This is the new challenge. 1t is imperative
and plain.
Will you cleanup or cover up?

Common Sense

John F. Hubbell of Cleveland was
killed in an automobile accident
May 10, 1924. in consequence of
which Anton Hren was convicted
and sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment. Hubbell left widow
and four children. Hren had a
wife and two children. With Hub
bell dead and Hren in prison, two
families would have faced misfor-
tune and distress.
Recognizing this, Judge Carl Wey-
gandt suspended sentence and put
Hren on probation, with the under
standing that he should pay Mrs.
Hubbell $4,000 in cash, which rep
resented his equity in property, and
that he should divide his income
with her until he had paid $500
more.
Hren has kept faith with the
court, working ten hours a day, and
seven days a week. His wife has
worked and Mrs. Hubbell has
worked. Both families have been
spared disaster and society has in
hicted a just and reasonable pun
ishment.

The New Wave Lengths

The radio commission just has announced its re-
ALLEGATION of lengths to broadcasting stations in
response to the Davis amendment to the radio act,
and as was to be expected, numerous protests are
arising.
Stations which suffered reductions in power, which
are obliged to share their time, have undesirable
wave length assignments are dissatisfied. The new
assignments become effective Nov. H. and between now
and that date many protests will be heard
The commission will listen to arguments from
those stations which believe they have been treated
unfairly 1t is not to be expected everyone finally
will be satisfied
The commission had a difficult job. Congress
divided the country into five zones arbitrarily, and
ordered the commission to apportion broadcastng
privileges among the States in each the basis
of population.
Thus we find the far western States with 100000
population receiving the service zones having
more than double that number of people Midwest
ern States with fourth of the countrys radio sta
TONS get only fifth Of the broadcasting allotments
There are other apparent inconsistencies, but 1t
is hard to understand how the commission could have
overcome many of them and carried out the man
date of Congress. Forty channels have been opened
for hgh-powered stations which it is expected will
be received over wide areas.
No two of the stations may broadcast on the same
channel at the same WHICH pleESVo
interfering with each other Nor chain programs
be broadcast simultaneously within 300 miles OF each
other
The remaining bands have been assigned to
regional stations, designed to reacN smaller areas,
and to local stations serving single communities.
Radio listeners throughout the country will not
know whether the new plan is a success until it is
tried out The commission acted technical advice
after long study apparently in spirit of fairness.
If there has been discrimination or If certain sta
tons have been treated unfairly these facts can be
established, and the necessary notifications made.
Meantime, disgruntled broadcasting will follow
their usual tactics Of assailing the commission from
the air. and of attempting to exert political pressure.
Members of Congress will be appealed to and some
of them may attempt to force the commission to act
for political reasons rather than for the general good
This practice is particularly reprehensibe, for the
air must be Kept Free and it cannot be free politics
to be the governing factor in station allotments
the structure of the law needs altering or if the
charges of monopoly are we'll founded it Is the job
of Congress to make the needed changes.
