Interference between overlap.
uine broadcasts or caused Oy
careless broadcasters like NAA,
or antique equipment, created the
most annoyance i'm loud speakers
last evening. There was consider.
able noise, but good volume ana
easy tuning permitted this to be

the Southwest.
Political broadcasts yesterday
afternoon and last night by Seaa-
tor Joe Robinson, Democratic vice

Golf Of West Virginia in the IN

the impression listeners have re-
ceived that speakers for both par
ties do not read the speeches made
by the candidates or other orators
and are not as familiar with the
party platforms as are members Of
the radio audience.
The suggestion has been made
several times that because of the
Unusual AdCAtlL1GD OIl[ESA Ed0AOGASS
to listen in on the conventions and
the various orators that have spoken
during the campaign the promises
of the platforms and of the prin-
cipal speeches supporting them are
rather wildly impressed on the
listeners minds. Hence the mis-
quotation or half quotation Of plat
form planlks and addresses makes q
decidedly unfavorable impression on
the listening public which checks
its memory with printed copies of
platform and addresses to be found
on or near many receiving sets
these days, and both parties have
been repeatedly guilty of such pro-
cedure. This might have been use
full campaign technique in the old
days, but the old day has passed
and the party managers cannot get

The People Should Know

The question of whether Rev. E. S. Shu-
maker, head Of the Anti-Saloon League, vio-
lated the corrupt practices act when he re-
ported Attorney General Gilliom as wet of
record ~ will be settled in the courts.
The question of whether his listing is true
or false is one which should be settled before
the primary
There are very many voters in this State
who have in the past accepted the report of the
dry leader without question and have cast their
ballots upon his advice.
1t may be quite properly suggested to DR..
Shumaker that he owes those who trust to his
advice and counsel the proof which will be a
basis for further confidence and that he
should welcome the warrant issued for his ar
rest as a magnificent opportunity to increase
that confidence.
In criminal court the question can be set
tied by evidence, not by opinion or prejudice.
Under the law, DIR. Shumaker carries the
presumption of innocence into the courtroom.
By bringing his charge the burden is upon
Mr.. Gillom to prove, by evidence, that his rec
ord is not wet but, as he asserts, dry.
He must, moreover, prove it beyond all
reasonable doubt"
There is even more reason for a trial of
this case before the primaries on next Tuesday
than there was two years ago for decision
of the Supreme Court on the Shumaker con-
tempt case before the election.
In this particular case, Dr. Shumaker can,
in all probability, determine the time and his
friends and admirers would undoubtedly wei
come trial which would give them the evil
dence and all the evidence
It is not question of vindication Of either
Gilliom or of Shumaker, but of truth upon
which many voters may base their ballots

Await Further Proof

SO far as the public is concerned,
it recognizes that most every hui
man being does queer things at
times and that there is probably no
such animal as a perfectly sane
man. 1t believes, however. that
good deal of this queerness is sub
ject to individual control, that the
kind of greatness which manifesJs
itself in misconduct could be
stopped with the proper will ana
that the idea that misconduct leads
to punishment, helps folks to use
their will
The public is perfectly well aware
that the latest idea is to regard man
as a machine, as a creature OF
heredity and environment, as an eX-
preston Of outside influences rather
than his inner self. but it accepts
the idea with about the same reser-
vations as it accepts jazz and the
cubist art. There may be something
in the notion, the public prefers &c
wait until the experts show a reason-
able capacity for agreement, at
least.

Insanity Popularity

If the plea Of insanity as q de-
Tense for murder meant confino-
ment in an asylum, as it ought, it
would not look half so good to dc
PENDANTS and their lawyers.
It's popularity rests on the fact
that it can be used as an alibi.
Under existing conditions a muir
derer CAN claim that ne was crazy
enough to kill a man without in
tending to, or without realizing it
was wrong yesterday, but that he
is perfectly normal today and he
can find plenty of experts to prove
it.
This aspect of the situation, to-
gether with the nonchalant man
ner in which experts call each other
liars leaves ordinary people little
choice but to dismiss the matter as
80 per cent bunk.
