"HOOTER Or BUST"

The executive committee appointed by Republicans
opposed to the nomination of Herbert Hoover, by its
very formation refues the claim which it advances to
the effect that Hoover is a weak candidate.
AS Middle WeSterners, the coalition group repre-
senng Lowden Watson, and Curtis supporters believe
no should be nominated to represent the Repu0l
can party whose personality and record do not lend
additional strength to the NATIONAL state and local
tickets"
This statement is aimed directly at Hoover. If he
so weak why is it necessary for all the other cand
dates to unite against him? Why would not any one
of them be strong enough to defeat him at the conven
ton? By their action they admit Hoover the most
formidable candidate, though they voice the cry
Of weak.
Aside from President Coolidge, what Republican
is better or more favorably known than Mr. Hoover?
Place his record beside that OF any Republican, and in
this connection is necessary to exclude Mr. Cool
idge and Hoover towers all Of them like the Wool
worth building above q switchman's shanty.
His record in this country alone stamps nm as a
leader Add to it his accomplishments In other parts
of the world and the criticisms attacks OF his oppo
nents resemble the feeble blows OF pygmy against
giant.
Unless all signs fail, Hoover will be nominated at
Kansas City In politics as elsewhere, however,
strange things can happen Should by any chance, the
convention name some candidate other than Hoover the
party can expect tough shedding in November for there
is not another man IN the Republican ranks strong
enough defeat the really excellent candidate whom
the Democrats will unQuostionaby place before the
voters
As for personality, the Secretary OF commerce IS

than any other Republican leader possesses not except

t. K.' HAD RECORD
 FOR BROKEN BONES
Hamilton, Pioneer Aviator, In:
 jured Often in Brief Career

Although it is IS years since New Britain's pioneer airman, Charles K. Hamilton, risked his life to further aviation. there probably never has been an aviator who had as many accidents in the air or who broke as many bones. A peculiar sidelight is that after all his hair-raising ex- poriences he died a natural death in bed.
 Hamilton had been flying only a few years when he suffered the tol- lowing injuries at various times: Head cut, right eye cut open, collar Lone broken four times. right shoulder broken. two right ribs broken, right leg dislocated twice. right ankle broken twice. right knee cap broken. left leg dislocated, left ankle broken twice, and skull frac- tured.
 All these accidents occurred ee- fore February. 1913, when he had one of the greatest falls of his career at Pablo Beach, Fla, on February 19, 1913.
 He had been making exhibition flights at the beach but was especial- ly anxious to establish a new worlds endurance record with a Cadillac engine. He started from the ground and to all appearances had lis plane under perfect control when spccta- tors saw the nose of the machine dive suddenly earthward when he was at an altitude of 200 feet. On the way down the machine turned q complete somersault and when 1t struck the ground it was smashed into a thousand pieces, the news- paper accounts of the mishap stated.
 Hamilton who was the Lucky Lindy" of his day escaped from the wreckage and fell clear of the ma- chine. At the time it was not known whether he was thrown from his seat or jumped when he realized he had met his master in the piunglng airship, but later it was learned that he jumped. a nervy ch:nce 10 take, but Charley did not lack nerve.
 His unconscious form was taken in an automobile to South Jackson- vile and from there to Jacksonvllie, on a ferry. The last lap of the race with death was in an automoolle which waited for him when the ferry entered its slip. He was still sense less when hes was carried into the hospital. When physicians examined his skull they were surprised to find two silver plates. where pieces or ms skull had been removed in former accidents.
 An examination later revealed inc fact that he suffered a broken rio' but outside of that he was unir- ;ured. The hospital authorities put a, strap about his ribs. but on me train home he removed the strap and went about without 1t untll ne rooovarad

Lepers in Nicaragua
 Receive Little Care

Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 2o. WI -Nanagua, the capital of Nicara- sua, has a leper colony located only a mile from the center of the town. Here the ten inmates-three wo- men and seven men-live in three small wooden shacks, shut off from any view of the outside world by dense undergrowth. Although ,he colony is only few hundred yards from the main highway leading into the hills, its seclusion is com- plete on account of the heavy jun- gle.
 The lepers receive no gover-- ment aid. but are supported en- tirely by charity through the ef- forts of Don Juan de Dios Matus. an assistant in the department of communications. who several years ago became interested in these people and persuaded those in the vicinity of Managua to live toSeth- CT on the small tract of land, ob- tained from the city.
