She'll Publish His Book
Bv Uaited Press

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Oct. 27.-Dr. Hugh
Mansfield Robinson, who unsuco ess-
fully attempted to send a message
OF love to mis- friends on the planet
Mars early Tuesday morning has
explained a few things in an inter-
view.
DR.. Robinson's ability to explain
things is remembered from his ex-
PLANTATION Of life on Mars, which his
ethereal body visited in company
with a sweet faced and big-eared
Marian woman, Oomaruru, who eX-
planned to him that Martians could
receive high-powered wireless mes
sages from the earth.
Explains Wife's Attitude
The experimenter was explaining
his wife's attitude on DR.. Robin
sons friendship for Oomaruru.
My wifes opposition" said the
man who learned about the women
of Mars from Oomaruru, "is con-
fined to our home. which she says
must not be turned into a Marian
experimental station"
He continued in a firm voice.
"As proof of this fact" he said,
she has agreed to pay $1,000 to-
ward the cost of publishing my book
on MarS!"
This triumphial expression was
followed by a rather significant
silence.
There is only one condition" DR..
Robinson continued at last. That
is that I will not mention Mars in
the book"
He Can Go Home Now
my wife blames me-" the ex-
perimenter went on, for getting
talked about in the newspapers. !
think this is funny because it is
her turn to get talked about now.
She is annoyed by reporters" he
said, who awaken her at midnight
to ask where 1 am listening in on
Mars. No doubt, she lost her
temper.
"a friend wired me that it is all
right for me to return now" he
continued. HE said I could return
home tonight, but I understand that
my wife is going to the continent to
recuperate."

BIZ Times Special
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 27-Re-
publican claims to political virtue,
championship of prohibition and in
lection of the religious issue came in
for verbal fire from Walter Myers.
indianapolis attorney, here Friday
night.
Myers, who was a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
United States senator in the pri-
mary, declared Republican pUiiti-
clans, "intrusted with power. have
deceived the people who gave it to
| them"
Nov, to cover up their failure and
betrayal, they try to win the game
by one off-side play after another"
he continued.
"Ihey Stigmatize Governor Smith
and Frank G. Daley as products of
Tammany in an effort to condone
Fall, Daugherty, DENLY, Forbes, Sin
clair, Doheny, Hays, Miller, Ware,
Smith and Small of Illinois, Big Bill
Thompson, Clyde Walb, Ed jackson.
Duvall, D. G. Stephenson and his
lost battalion, beside whom the
Fammany they pirate about is an
angel!
Eight Years of Failure
ITO hide eight years of failure to
enforce prohibition with all its at
tendant crime, bribery. official and
unofficial corruption, they send out
Mrs. Willebrandt, who has had
charge of enforcement, to stir up
religious hatred.
They charge that Governor
Smith can not enforce the prohi-
bition laws because he is not in
smpathy with them. Mr.. Hoover
vas not in sympathy with prohibit
ton in 1918. x-President Taft
wrote a letter them, prophesying
the very failure that has come about.
Yet as chief justice, he CONSTITUTES in
favor of enforcement laws with
which he was not in sympathy"
The speaker reviewed the oil scan
dals which occurred while Hoover
sat in the cabinet and recalled that
Dr. Hubert Work, national Repub-
lican chairman, recently was coupled
with the transactions.
Deploring the injection of re-
ligion in politics, Myers said: MIR.
Daley will not mix church and
state by trying to make the voters
believe that God is either a Repub-
lican or a Democrat.
Religious Intolerance
"He will not be like the Indian
apoliS preachers who proposed pray
er against Governor Smith. Did
you ever hear of his proposing pray
er against d. c. Stephenson? Or
in favor of william j. Bryan who
was a pioneer for prohibition?
mo these prayers assume that
God is a Republican politician like
Ed Jackson, George Coffin, Shu-
maker, D. c. Stephenson and the
like and that He will stand by the
party, righteous or unrighteous.
Whenever preachers get into
politics and politicians get into the
pulpits, church and state are no
longer separate. Written large
across the pages of history is the
tragic story of blood and sorrow
where church and state became po-
litical bedfelloWs."

LOOMS As
LEADER
BY DAVID r. SENTHER

At lMIeEW0IlOnuA SNGWB GcENAND 4.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-A new ma.
tional figure arose today from the.
ashes of the Democratic party:
sGovernor.elect Franklin d. Roose-
velt, Of New York.
In one of the closest gubernatorial
elections in New York's history,
Roosevelt defeated his Republican
opponent, Attorney General Albert
Ottinger by about $4,000 votes,
nearly complete returns showed.
Drafted as the Democratic guber-
material candidate to strengthen the
al Smith Presidential ticket, Roose-
welt outran his party's chief, and.
pulled the Democratic State slate
with him.
Listened to Call
Not because he was ambitious, but
because he was friend OF AL
Smith, Roosevelt ran for Governor.
Roosevelt, recovering from an attack
Of paralysis, was advised against It
by friends. The stress Of the cam
paign viii break you," they told
Roosevelt. At first he listened.
Party leaders kept urging him. 1T
will help Al a lot, they finally
pleaded.
aPll run, said Roosevelt.
Leaning heavily upon his invalid's
cane, Roosevelt stumped the State
vigorously, speaking more for Al
than Tor himself.
Franklin and AL have been like
in the State legislature back in 1910
when Roosevelt licked the tar out
of a Tammany candidate for the
Democratic Senatorship.
May Change Places
4 Roosevelt nominated Smith for
the presidency first at the 1920
Democratic convention. He failed to
put his man across. but won the
vice presidential nomination himself.
And, in 1924, Roosevelt left his
wheel chair to appear on crutches
at Madison Square Garden to nomi-
nate Smith again. He made one Of
the most eloquent pleas in con-
vention famous for its oratorical
masterpieces.
Then, in 1928, Roosevelt tried it
again-and put his man over.
Perhaps, in 1882, Roosevelt will
be at the other end Of the nominal
ing speech, with the announced re-
tirement of Emith and his virtual
elimination as a future presidential
possibility. Roosevelt is the logical
contender. Republican leaders. with
the sweet taste of victory on their
tongues, are openly discussing this
potential threat. A little previous,
politicians pride themselves as crys-
tai gaZers.
