GOVERNOR RAPS
HOOVER PARTY
ON PLEDGES
Says Republicans Fail to Keep
Promises Of Prosperous
Times For Farmers, Nation

FREDERICK, Md, oct. II
The Republican administration g
failure ''to do anything at all for
the droughtstricken farmers Of
this country except talk" was
flayed by Gov. Albert @. Ritchie
at q political gathering here last
night.
The Federal Government. the
Governor told his hearers, scores
Of those farmers whose crops
have been badly hit by the long
drought, should set up machinery
to assist reputable farmers whose
credit has temporarily disap-
peared and who will suffer this
winter unless some governmental
relief is offered.
The State of Maryland, the
Governor said, has named a COM
mission which will be ready to
function in extending relief at
any time it shall be needed.
Governor Ritchie, at Frederick,
declared:
'1n his speeches and in his
party's platform Hoover, before
his election in 1898, made two
important promises: He said
agriculture would be placed on
q basis with the prosperity en-
j0yed by industry and that
every man would have . job,
that unemployment would be .
thing Of the past.
Both reasons were compel
ling and Mr.. Hoover was elected.
Now how have these promises
been kept? Instead Of bettering
the condition of the farmer Mr..
Hoover signed the Hawley- -SmOOt
tariff bill, passed by a Repub-
fcan Congress-. This measure
increases the cost Of everything
the farmer and his wife must
buy at a time when the cash
value Of the farmers crops Is
less than at any time IN his
tory.
HAS Mr.. Hoover kept his
word that every man would
have q job If he were elected?
I sincerely hope that unemplOy-
ment is at . minimum in Fred
erick county. BY aIlocating
road funds in advance the State
administration has made avail
able the expenditure Of apr0xi-
mateIy 100000 In this county.
That will help absorb some un.
employment.
''But what has the Hoover
Administration done? Nothing
as far - ron learn" ...

Queer in the studio game would fire him
on the spot.
Carl Sanhuber did it within is min
utes of the studios and got away with
it until few days ago. Movies are
tame when life steps in.
I have never been a Bow-ite. The
superior charms of the 1T" girl have
never swept me off my feet. Perhaps
am of the wrong sex, but am not blind
to technique. And I must report that
Clara Bow, singing I'm True to the
Navy" in the recent revue Paramount
on Parade" registers sex appeal plus
as significantly as she did in the silent
days, and then some.
Clara Bow is willow-slim again. How
these girls achieve their tranSforma-
tons of this sort only Hollywood knows.
It's her secret, and some day she'll be
forced to tell. Girls the world over
want to do this very thing too. With
SlimneSS has come daintiness of face
Clara Bow lost when she grew plump.
And when her hair is cut-the shoulder
| length locks are the only tell-tale sign
of the old regime-a new person will
| face the cameras again.
Her singing voice is earthly and
provocative-the sort of voice 1T
should have. She puts her song over
with daring eye and the bald-head row
technique used in the theater; straight
into the eye of the camera. which in
the theater will be straight into the
eye of every old double -chinned gentle
calculated to be swept off his fallen
arches by such tactics.
The other outstanding moment is
Ruth Chatterton creating a poignant
atmosphere of pathos in a revue given
over to nonsensing with her song MY
Marine" The Chatterton's French is
lovely, her French-American accent
very convincing, and her art supreme.
Maurice Chevalier, the Gallo gentle
who can do no wrong in America these
days, does right in show which is only
about usual in quality, and a little lass
named MitZi Green gives about the
best limitations you'd want to see, in
Guiding one of Chevalier.
