SMITH BEST BET Fc.
 ENFORCEMENT SAYS JOE

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Oct. IA comparison of the utterances by the two Presidential candidates on Prohibition was undertaken by Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Dem- ocratic Vice-Presidential nominee, who took the position that the public may reasonably anticipate more just and uniform enforce ment" under Gov. Alfred E. Smith than under Herbert Hoover.
 Quoting what both party plat forms said on the subject, Senator Robinson declared mo material distinction can be made between the declarations.' On the subject neither party declares for or against modification of the Vol stead Act, he said. Both promise honest efforts to enforce it. Re- ferring to the committee that drafted the Republican platform, he declared that "half of them were probably half intoxicated when they wrote it. If anybody in the audience believes the Re- publican Party has reformed in this respec tlet him hurry on to a lunatic asylum"
 Referring to MT Hoover, he de- clared why he knows how to use language. If he wanted to say that he was either for or against the modification of the Volstead Act he could say so. He either wants modification and doesn't want his position known or he is against modification and wants to get the wet vote."

Democrats Are Fighting Confidently for Holding
 Of Arkansas, Mississippi

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 4. -Entrenched behind many years Of almost invariable triumph at the polls, Democracy in Arkansas and Mississippi is actively. dc, lending it's supremacy in the present Presidential campaign.
 The uncommon situations and factors in the political layout this year presage a real fight for the first time in decades between Republicans and Democrats in Arkansas, home of the Democratic Vice-Presidential nominee, Sena- tor Joe T. Robinson. Mississippi's solidarity as purely Demo- cratic State appears threatened by discontent over the party nominee's prohibition stand.
 No Worry, Arkansas
 But Arkansas Democratic lead CTS profess to find no cause for worry over possible defections from their ranks, and are plan ming an intensive drive to arouse party interest and get voters to the polls to make sure of the States nine electoral votes. Re- publicans also are waging a cam paign expected to surpass in in- tensity any other in the past 30 or 40 years. especially as some negro Republicans may turn to the Smith-Robinson ticket be- cause of esteem for Senator Rob inson.
 Gov. Alfred E. Smiths opposi- tion to the present prohibition law is perhaps most responsible for Democratic defections.
 Anti Organization Democrat" organization has be- come active under the leadership, largely, of Protestant ministers and other prohibition workers. Heading the group is pr. A. c. Miller, long a Southern Methodist leader, who withdrew as a can didate for the Democratic nom- ination for Lieutenant-Governor because he said he was not in sympathy with the national ticket.
 Hoover's Popularity
 Another factor giving Republi- cans hope is Hoover's popularity in Arkansas, particularly in sec tions stricken by the 1927 flood, because of his participation in flood relief.
 But Democratic leaders are confident they can overcome these seeming difficulties by getting out the large vote which ordi- narily "stays-at-home" on elec- tion day because of the normal certainty of Democratic success. The chieftains warned also that bolters would not be allowed to in the recent primary or the one two years hence. However, comparatively few chal- lenges were reported in the pri- mary already completed.
 In Mississippi
 In Mississippi, the defection of a Democratic Presidential elector and of 10 members of county executive committee, together with the "rumblings" of bolting the party, will help give the Re- publicans their largest Presiden- tial vote in State history. politi-

| He asked me why I did not apply
for enlistment as cadet at Brooks
Field and explained that by writing
to the Chief of Air Service at the
War Department In Washington ]
could get enrolment blanks and
full information on the course and
its requirements.
I had always wanted to fly mod
ern and powerful planes. Ever
since I had watched a group OF
fourteen DeHavilands with their
four hundred horsepower Liberty
motors come into the field at Lin
coin in my flying school days, had
longed to fly one of them.
The Army offered the only oppor-
tunity, for there were no Liberty
engines flying around transforming.
Consequently at the hotel that night
I wrote my letter to the Chief of
Air Service, and a few days later
when I received my next mail for
warded from Minneapolis, a letter
from Washington with the enroll
ment blanks was included.
The letter informed me that a
candidate must be between twenty
and twenty-seven years of age in
elusive, unmarried, of good physical
condition and must have high
school education, or its equivalent.
I completed and returned the
forms, and a short time later re-
ceived another message authorizing
me to appear before an examining
board at Chanute Field, Rantoul,
ILL.,, in January, 1924.
Toward the end of September I
began to work south. Cold weather
was coming on in Minnesota and
most people did not enjoy flying in
an open cockpit in winter.
I transformed over into Wiscon-
sin, but found that some one had
been carrying passengers for half
price there. I had always con=
formed to the rule in use among
most pilots at that time, of giving
a good ride for S., but not carry
ing anyone for less.
So I left southern Wisconsin and
turned toward Illinois. After taking
off 1 decided to take in the Interna-
tional Air Races at st. Louis, which
were then in progress; so instead
of sizing up each town I passed
over for its passenger possibilities,
I flew toward st. Louis until the
gasoline ran low, then landed, took
on a fresh supply from a passing
gas truck and pressed on to Carlin-
vile, Ill There picked up more
fuel and a $25 passenger for st.
Louis.
AS we neared Lambert Field,
where the races were being held,
we passed over the race course
while the bombers' contest was in
progress.
I landed on a hill east Of Lambert
in order to keep out of the way of
the races, and waited until evening
before hopping over and stalking
my ship down at the end of the
long rows of civilian planes.
A large number of my old friends
were attending the races and soon
after landing I met Bud Quincy
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-02-20

who, together with one of the fly
ing students at Lincoln, had man
aged to get to the races without
buying a Pullman ticket.
He had brought his chute with
him and was entered in the para
chute spot landing contest, in which
ne was to be the last attraction OF
the meet by staging a double drop
In the evening after the races
were over for the day, 1 carried a
few passengers and looked over the
different types of planes.
I would have given the summers
transforming profits gladly in re-
turn for authority to fly some Of the
newer types, and 1 determined to
let nothing interfere with my
chance Of being appointed a Flying
Cadet in the Army.
This appeared to be my only OBJ
portunity to fly planes which would
roar up into the sky when they
were pointed in that direction, in
stead of having to be wished up
over low trees at the end of a land
ing field.
When I went to st. Louis it was
with the expectation of pressing
on still farther South when the
races were over, but with Buds
assistance I sold my Jenny to his
friend, flying instruction included.
