the boom Of guns and the cheers OF
thousands of persons wishing them
God speed.
They will go down to the bottom
OF the world, to study the birth
place of winds and to fill in the
blank spaces of the worlds map.
For eighteen months, possibly two
years or even longer, Byrd and his
comrades will be in the icy waters

plorer and aviator headed one of
the largest and most scientifically
equipped polar expeditions the world

pole where camp will be established
about Dec. Is. Then the heroic
work of the expedition viii be

Leaders Gathered TO Map

'Every dollar contributed to the
Republican national campaign fund

That was the statement from
James w. Good, manager OF Re-
publican western headquarters at
Chicago, that rang in the ears OF
business leaders of the State organ
ization today as they buckled down
on the job of completing the drive
for Indiana's 1925 900 quota for the
national G. o. P. political pot.
Good and Postmaster General
Harry S. New. former United States
Senator from Indiana, were the

said: "It would be calamity if in
the next administration, Harry S.

Tremendous interest in the candi-
dates and issues in the coming ma
tional election, Good said, has Gre
ated an unparalleled demand for
literature and speakers Throughout
the country, with consequent heavy
drain on the treasury.
"It may surprise you to know"
Good observed, that radio, instead
of reducing the number of speakers
required, has served to awaken such
interest in politics that the demand
for speakers is 20 per cent greater
than four years ago."
Speaking as zone business man to

Prohibition Is Big Issue

Practically all the party abandon
ment has been on the part of DEM
ocrats. The holsters have used
prohibition as an excuse to join the
Republicans. Very few wet Repub-
licans have jumped into the Smith
camp because of the Hoover atti-
tude.
The detection from Democracy
has been especially noticeable on
the part Of women voters. They
seem to have far more religious
prejudice than the male Demo-
Gratis and they are so strong for pro-
hibition that they refuse to vote for
any candidate who dares suggest
slightest modification of the Vol
stead act.
They listen to no appeals, they
respond to no reasoning, and they
care little for party if they think
that prohibition is at stake. The
strength of Smith in this State is
mainly with that quiet, stay-at-
home crowd" which constitutes the
bulk Of the. population.
They are being encouraged by the
attitude of Senator Sheppard and
Governor Moody, both strong pro-
hibitionists. who are standing b.
the party's nominee.
Sees Dallas for Hoover
John Sorrells of the Fl. Worth
Press thinks his city and county
and the adjoining county of Dallas
will go for Hoover, but that Smith
will carry north Texas. The Pan
handle seems to be for Hoover.
Wallace Perry Of the FL Paso
Post, another Scripps-Howard paper,
thinks that west Texas will remain
Democratic by small majority, but
says Hoover will carry FL Paso
County.
To sum it up, I estimate that
Texas will go Democratic by not
less than 100000 majority.

100000 EDGE
PREDICTED FOR
SMITH IN TEXAS
Main Hoover Strength Is in
Cities; Strong for Al in
Rural Regions.
BY NJ. E. FOSTER,
Editor of The Houston Press

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 11.-Texas
will go Democratic as usual. The
Smith electors will win, but Hoover
will get the largest vote ever cast
by this State for a Republican nom
mess.
Strange to say, the strongest
Hoover following is in the cities like
Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and
FIT. Worth, despite the fact that
these cities also are strong for a
change in our prohibition enact
ment.
In the country districts, where the
people talk little and think much,
where they have been trained to
vote for whatever or whoever is
labelled Democratic, the ballot will
be overwhelmingly for Smith.
There never has been a campaign
in this State which has caused more
DETECTION of Democrats than during
this presidential contest. Many we'll
known politicians have bolted the
party and will take the stump for
Hoover. Much of this is due to the
intense prohibition sentiment, some
of it to religious prejudices, and a
little to the desire to climb into
what they think is the national
bandWagon.

FURNISHING SCHOOLS

J. A university has been expelled.
What appears to be very significant
was the act of the North Central AS
sociation of Colleges and Secondary
Schools in expelling from its fold
the University of West Virginia for
Irregularities in athletics. The action
was taken at a Chicago meeting
which delegates from 251 institu-
lions attended.
Seems that the cleanup spirit has
been extended from politics to ath-
letics. West Virginia University was
convicted of inadequate supervision
of athletic funds, and PROSECUTING by
alumni. More specifically it was
charged that the alumni had raised
a fund with which to induce athletics
to attend the university, and to gen.
orally encourage athletics.
This sort of action was needed
and it will have a salutary effect.
We know nothing about the degree
of guilt of West Virginia University,
but it is a very generally known fact
that these offenses have been COM
mitted many a time by many a
school. Coaches and players have
told about all such tricks in written
confessions. Some seem to feel that
they are pretty clever in getting
away with it. They would try to JUS
tify themselves on the ground that
everybody else was doing it," but
sneaky feelin gwas always appar-
ent.
There had to be a cleanup. It
started years ago, and much pro-
gress has been made, but the job is
not finished. 1t will be better for the
sport, for the schools and for the in
stitutions when the public is con-
WINGED that callege athletics are con
the level" and true to the high stan
dard of honest amateur sports.-The

There are even auto trunks that
are so cleverly arranged that they
contain compartments for tools
that may be opened without dis
turbing the main sections of the
trunk; and the young hopeful of the
household who is included in the
family motoring party only has to
look carefully to discover that in
some of these trunks there is a
metal-lined end compartment that
provides an ideal storage place for
his fishing tackle, wet bathing suits,
or anything else that the young
hopeful thinks should be added to
the equipment.

BEAUTY in TRUNKS

From grandfather's old carpet bag
to the modern wardrobe trunk is a
long jump.
Any kind of an old bag used to do
when our grandparents, and even
our parents, went a-traveling. In
Boston the "green bag is still a
badge of distinction popular with
travelling men and Harvard stu
dents. 1t had the advantage of pos
sessing color and up to less than
half a dozen years ago it stood out
in it's beautiful green against all
black baggage, including trunks
and other luggage.
But now you can look in the
wonder windows of great depart
ment and speciality stores and find
luggage for every purpose, all
dolled up for the motor, or for reg
ular long distance travelling, and it
is covered in especially developed
types of fabrikoid that makes it as
beautiful as it is practical. Ward
robe compartments that will pre-
serve three suits and five dresses in
a state of freshness are among the
new marvels of luggage.

HILL-BILLIES ENTERTAINED

Many of the residents of this COM
munity enjoyed rare treat at the
New Plaza Theatre last Friday and
Saturday evenings, when, in addi-
ton to the photoplay "Baby Mine"
starring Karl Dare and Geo. K. Ar
thur, the Hill-Billies with Al Hop
kins and his Buckle Busters enter
tanned two capacity houses of pa
irons. It proved to be an exhibition
of versatile musical entertainment
that has seldom been seen here and
everyone present seemed to thor
oughly enjoy the entire perform
ance. The show was highly interest
ing and replete with good whole
some fun-making.
The Hill-Billies specialize in the
music of the South and the Blue
Ridge Mountain country of which
they are natives. They give a fine
Characterization and their nation
wide popularity is ample evidence of
the popularity that has attended
their hundreds of performances.
Their greatest claim to fame is their
appearance before President Cool
idge and numerous prominent men
of national affairs at the MayfoWer
Hotel, Washington, D. c. They are
also popular broadcasters from sta
tons WRC and WCAU, and their
music with various stringed instru-
ments as well as their well harmon
lied songs are enjoyed by thousands.
Thew have made nun1arOTs racords
Of their more popular numbers for
the Brunswick Photograph Com
pany, the renditions by the male
quartet having enjoyed quite heavy
sales. Their future bookings here
will prove highly profitable if the
acclaim with which they were re-
,eived at the Plaza last week can be
aiken as a criterion.

trance, beautifully designed, with
arches, wainscots, cornices and fire
places Of the best type in colonial
architecture. The original wallpaper,
brought from Paris, remains here
mellowed with age. Staircase and
hall are as thew were long before
Longfellow knew them.
Opposition developed when the. city
fathers decided to take this property
for the needed school building, and
it. was decided therefore to keep alive
the traditions associated with the
site. Hence, it is probable that the
school will be named the "Lonefellow
school," and, moreover, the stairway
that played SO prominent q part in
the poem may be preserved within
the new building.
The original clock was removed
some years ago to Craisie House, the
Longfellow home In Cambridge,
Mass. Another characteristic
grandfather clock" now ticks on the
landing halfway up the stairs, and
such a clock, it is planned, will adorn
the preserved staircase.
