OF a legation building on Massachu-

According to Herr Prochnik, de-

RADIO SHAKEUP
PROMISED FOR
MIDDLE WEST
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin
Will Be Affected by
New Order.
BY ROSCOE 3. FLEMING
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Radio
shakeup impends in the Middle
West, brought on by the protests
of stations in Indiana, Iowa and
Wisconsin, against the proposed
re-allocation of wave lengths, ef-
fective Nov. II.
The shakeup is expected to hit
the group of big stations around
Chicago. which would have six and
one-half of the cleared channels
for high power broadcasting estab-
lished in the re-allocation.
Illinois, under the broadcasting
law as interpreted by the commits
sion, was entitled to only two and a
fraction wave lengths in these
cleared channels.
Indiana was entitled to one, but
her only 5000 watt station, WOWO,
at Ft. Wayne, was allotted to a
single channel with three other
stations, to receive -sevenths Of
the time.
Wisconsin, also entitled to at
least one of the cleared channels,
had no station of high enough
power to qualify.
Iowa Jared somewhat better, but
Governor Hammill led a delegation
to Washington to protest against
the States allotments, and received
a promise that more channels would
be granted. Promptly the broad
casters of Wisconsin and Indiana
joined in the proest. AS a result
the commission is expected today
or tomorrow to announce new allo-
cations for the Midwest zone.
The commission also has post
poned until jan 81 its order to limit
chain broadcasting. This would
have been effective Nov. II. The
commission expects to get the opin-
ion Of Congress before entering a
final order.

AL is CONFIDENT
AS LAST MONTH
OF DRIVE OPENS
Enters Final Vote Scrim-
mage in Good Physical
Condition.
BY THOMAS P. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON OcC. lU.-COVer-
nor Alfred E. Smith enters the last
month of his campaign for the
presidency, with his victory pSychol-
ogy rampant despite Wall Street
betting odds against him.
He has been defeated for public
Office but once, record similar to
that of President Coolidge, a-1
hence he radiates confidence and
good health.
Seasoned political observers at
this stage are hesitant in predicting
the outcome of the presidential race
this year because of number OF
factors which may swing it unex-
pectedly one way or the other.
Smith says the last week Of a
campaign is the most important. He
points to victories in New York
State which he believes he won in
the closing days, because his op-
ponents, as he phrases it, spilled
the beans" He will play for the
"breaks" in this last phase Of the
campaign.
Nominee Is Confident
Smith enters this final scrimmage
in good physical condition.
He thinks his western trip made
many votes for him. Democrats
have renewed confidence in that
area because of his personal ap-
pearance and his speeches there.
He went before them the "Al'
Smith that New York knows, talked
in the language of the ordinary
man, and the people seemed to
like it.
At Oklahoma City, he challenged
the whispering campaign" against
him, embodying all sorts of reports
about his religion, his Tammany
affiliations and his personal life.
He found the religious issue and
the "Tammany issue also raised
against him in other parts of the
west. OF all his western speeches,
the Democratic candidate said he
had received most approval for the
one at Oklahoma City.
Opponents on Defense
When he entered his own state
after the western tour and spoke al
Rochester, he drew fire Immediate
ly from Republican state leaders
whom he denounced as "obstruc-
tors" of his program. Eagerly, he
replied to them from his vacation
retreat in Albany.
LET them pull all the bunk they
want to. I have them on the de-
fense," he said.
There are several issues Smith
has not discussed, to which he viii
devote his attention in the rest
of the campaign. He will speak on
the tariff and the use of Federal
injunctions in labor disputes. He
will challenge Republican claims ot
prosperity and of governmental
economy, and will further discuss
prohibition, farm relief, immigra
ton and waterpower. Whether or
not he will make a speech on for
eign affairs is not known at this
time

from a rundown and disordered
inner system, complaining of aches
and pains and remarking about the
tired, drowsy feeling that comes
over us so often. Since the
introduction of the new Sonjola
medicine, many thousands Of
people throughout the Central and
Middle West have voluntarily
offered strong words of praise, and
many hundreds of local men and
women have given their signed
statements to the KonjOla Man at
Hooks drug store, Illinois and
Washington streets, indianapolis,
telling of the wonderful benefits
they have derived from this cele-
brated compound
One of the latest to describe the
new health they have received from
Konjola is a well-known citizen of
indianapolis, Mr.. Edw. W. Middle
ton, who for sixteen years has
served as an attendant at the West
Gate of the Crown Hill Cemetery,
living at 3235 Boulevard Place, this
city.
ut is a pleasure for me to
recommend a medicine like Kon-
tola," said Mr.. Middleton. Il have
never offered my public indorse-
ment before, but believe am do
ing the right thing by telling others
how this medicine helped me to
regain my health and strength.
IT had never been able to de-
termine just what made me feel
so weak and rundown, but for quite
some time, I was very nervous and
always had that half-sick feeling.
This general weakness made it
rather hard for me to get the ut
most out of life. I tried various
tonics, but none of them seemed to
do me any good. My appetite was
poor, and although the food 1 did
eat caused me scarcely any trouble,
at the same time, it did not nour1sh
me properly. Finally, my nerves
gave out under the strain and at
times was very Irritable and cross.
Even at night my condition both
cred me and did not sleep well
at all. This made ne feel all the
worse the next day.
1.-THE unusual praise and recon-
mendation so many reliable people
OF this city were giving KonJola
convinced me that this medicine
must have merit. I began investl-
eating and inquiring about Kon-
jola, and found that it did all that
is claimed for it. I made up my
mind then to try it myself. Now
I am convinced that this medicine
is splendid for rundown condition
of the entire system. 1t did not
take any great amount to make a
change in my health. Very soon
after I started taking it L began
feeling better every day, and my
appetite steadily increased. My
nerves are steady now and do not
give me any trouble at all. That
constant half-sick feeling has given
way to one of vigor and energy. L
always enjoy a good nights rest
and wake up in The morning
feeling fine. Since I have benefited
to such an extent, cannot help
but tell others about this wonder
full body builder"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Illinois and Washington
sSreets, indianapolis, where he is
daily meeting the public and intro
ducing and explaining the merits
of this remedy. Konjola is sold at
every Hook store in this city and
