WITH OVATION
IN new JERSEY
Candidate Accorded Big
Reception By People OF
NeighbOr State.
By THOMAS L. STOKES
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

SPRING LAKE, n. j., Aug. IL
Gov. Alfred f. Smith left here to-
day, highly encouraged over pros
poets of Democratic success in this
critical state as a result of the
iumultuous- demonstration he has re-
ceived since he entered it four days
ego.
This is one state which Democrat
lie straregisrs nope to carry by the
candidate S "wet" appeal. 1t is
one of the five in this eastern
"wet'' group which political cal
culators figure must be in the
Smith column if the Democratic
candidate is to win.
The others are New York, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode
Island. The governor and his
family left by motor for New York
city. The candidate is expected to
remain day or two in New York
for conferences with political
leaders regarding his itinerary.
Smith S invasion of New Jersey
is regarded as an excellent psyche
logical move. 1t was friendly terri
tory but the exuberant reception by
more than 100000 people placed the
governor before the country at the
outset as man with popular
appeal.
Makes No Speech
He revealed himself as talented
political Snowman of the caliber of
Bryan or Roosevelt. His whole show
here was in pantomime, for he made
no speech. He demonstrated that he
would be effective without making
speeches, and convinced his politi-
cal managers of the wisdom of his
plan to limit his public addresses,
but to show himself widely.
The candidate removed himself
from the crowd Sunday as much as
possible, but his few appearances
brought the same enthusiastic res
ponse.
He was besieged by curious and
eager crowds as he drove to st.

SMITH AND HOOVER

1t seems to be the concensus of opinion through
out the country that the race for the presidency this
year will be waged between Governor Alfred Smith
Of New York and Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover
Smith is acknowledged to be the strongest man
the Democrats coald nominate and is causing no
small amount Of worry in Republican ranks It is
predicted that Smith will easily carry New York and
ether states having numerous electoral votes He
will receive good support from members of all poll
teal parties.
Unless the present session of Congress enacts
farm relief legislation, and such a thing is unlikely
the Republican candidate will be SHOWED UNDER in
The farm states and Smith will carry practically ev-
cry state west of the Mississippi well as Illinois,
and possibly Indiana and Ohio.
The Democrats have mighty good chance of
eecting Smith, ard Republicans realize that for the
first time since Wilson's second election in 1916 they
are facing defeat

THE GENERAL WELFARE

While the farmer and the city man are probably
closer today than BEFORE the bond between them
can never be cemented too firmly. One of the great
world issues of the day is the promotion of interna
donal understanding and good will It is a laudabe
undertaking. but good will like charity should begin
at home And it has,
This country has many diplomat who has
aever been in Washington, many ambassador of
good will who has never been abroad In the smaller
cities and in the rural communities these men-and
women-have been busy promoting understanding
and good will between the farmer and the city man.
Their fame may never be spread abroad in the land
but they content to let their good deeds speak
for themselves
This community has its share Of such workers for
good will but it needs more Of them The permanent
prosperity of this community and Of the nation in
general depends upon cooperation between farmer
End city man. Both have much to contribute to the
other.
The city man needs to know more about the
problems that confront the farmer, and the farmer
more about the tasks facing the city man. The
farmer and the merchant, for example, are working
toward the same end after all, but too often they
seem not to realize it. By striving to reach com
mon understanding each has opportunity to be as
great an ambassador of good will in his sphere as
Lindbergh in his.

BUSINESS AND ELECTIONS

Col. Leonard P. Ayres, noted business common
tator, believes is myth that election years are bad
years for business He shows that in six of the twelve
years since 1880 in which Presidential elections have
taken place business has been better than normal,
and in only five years below normal.
On the whole, Col. Ayres points out, business in
years of Presidential elections has been slightly bet
fer than normal It is no doubt true that business
fluctuations in Presidential election years are due to
economic rather than political causes
There appears to be nothing in the situation this
year that might be regarded as possible damper on
business activity. No burning economic question has
oobbed up yet and it is probable that none will The
national economic equilibrium is not likely to be up
set this year even though it is an election year.

INDIANA MAYOR IS
 AGAIN IN TROUBLE
City Ny Be Without Services
 Of Executive

Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 3l (UP) Another complication of Indiana polls politics was in progress today. and citizens feared a recurrence Of the situation of three months ago, WI n the city was virtually without mayor for five days.
 Today's battle was started when Mayor l.. Slack refused to abide bv an order of the city council which declared he was no longer mayor.
 After receiving notice to vacate his office. Slack immediately sur rounded himself with police guard and continued to administer the af- fairs Of the city.
 He was said to have taken the at titude that the councils order was invalid and it was expected that the council would apply for court or der to enforce its decree.
 The present battle had its origin in the councils busting of Mayor John l.. Duvall, three months ago Although the council contended it removed him. Duvall asserted he re- signed before receiving the council order.
 Duvall petitioned the council that his resignation had allowed his wife to succeed to the mayoralty from her office of city controller.
 Mrs. Duvall asserted she had ac- cepted the mayors office and had served IS minutes. long enough to appoint Ira Holmes to her old Job of city comptroller.
 Holmes, as city controller. then laid claim to the city executives of- Ace. but the council overrode his request and appointed Slack.
 Now Slack finds himself in the position of being removed by the sams council which appointed him. In ordering Stacks removal the council said 1t now believed ''an in- Justice may have been done to Holmes" No announcement was made as to whether the council in- tended recognizing Holmes old claim to the office.

These ahstraetiona were tested On Horace in . very practical way. He was placed on . table in . quiet room where no distractions could divert his attention. Fastened to one le1 were two thin wires. In the next room. out of he animals sigh. Dr. Liddell started . me- tronome, causing 1t to beat once a second. Every sixth second he sent a weak electric current through the wires. The prick of the charge caused the wether to life the leg.
 After this experiment had Teen repeated many times Horace moved the leg immediately after the fifth beat, without waiting for the sixth stroke which always brought the shock. This was the conditioned reflex sought by pr. LiddelI. Horaces nervous system was auto natically responding to the com- bined excitation of the tick of the instrument and the delayed urge of the current. But his brain was sill preserving the balance be- tween action and inaction.
 The animals breakdown came when the physiologist attempted to hasten the formation of the leg lifting habit by doubling the daily lumber Of experiments. Horace's power to control his response to the metronome disappeared. and he would lift the leg on each beat. ap- parently being in highly excited state.
 The sheep was then given a months vacation. During that in- terval his mental equilibrium was restored and when the experiments were resumed he was back at his old trick of lifting his leg at the completion of the fifth beat. without waiting for the shock that marked the sixth.
 Although Dr. Liddell is not ready to draw any lessons for human be- ing. from his observations of the sheep's behavior. he believes that what is popularly. called nervous breakdown due to overwork seems similar in every way to these ex- perimentally produced nervous dis turbances.
 Tt may be-" he says, that neurasthenia and hysteria are dis turbances of this nature: in other words. unusual situations that up- set the brain balance"

Mount Elm continued to diminish

lncandescent matter was being
thrown out from a small orifice At
the base Of the central cone from
which it spouted last August. The
eruptive activity was on the north.
west side almost under the station
OF the cable railway running toward
the summit.
Lava was pouring from the fis-
sures of the main crater which sent
out tongues Of flames into the valley
OF the inferno last Aug, st.
The spectacle was interesting
tourists and scientists, but the popu-

thusiastic.
