LABOR PREMIER
 MAKES BID FOR Z AID LIBERALS
Monarch's Appearance Is First Public Function
 in Months
MCDONALD AGREES
 Vi, TO ELECTORAL PLAN
Governm e mt Agrees to Share Some Seats with
 Political Allies

LONDON, October 28.-With
 time honored pageantry, King
 George today opened the win
 ter session of Parliament. The
 occasion was doubly significant.
 It marked the return of His
 Majesty to state functions after
 mcnths of illness in bed and of
 weakness during recuperation, and is was characterized by
 adoption by the Labor Ministry
 of the Liberal Party's plan for
 electoral reform.
 The Commons and the Lords met in the House of Lords. In firm, steady tones, indicative of con- plete restoration to health, the King read his speech from the throne. The address, which, of course, had been composed by Premier Ramsay Macdonald, took five minutes for delivery.
 Bid To Liberals
 The action of the Premier in adopting Liberal electoral policies is a bid to Liberals for their support in keeping his government in power. The Laborites are only a plurality party in the Commons; that is, they are outnumbered by combined Liberals and Conservatives. Labor must have support from either Lib erals or Conservatives to remain in office.
 The electoral plan of the Liberals would give them greater represen- tation in the Commons. Now, in many consciousness, Liberals sup port Labor candidates in order to defeat Conservatives
 Support Some Liberals
 Hereafter, Premier Macdonald as leader of the Labor Party, will urge his followers in some of the strong Conservative constituencies to SUD- port the Liberal candidates, in stead of insisting as formerly that Labor candidates make no alliances and that Liberals take their choice of supporting either Laborites or Conservatives.
 Liberals are more closely in sym pathy with Labor than with Con- servatives, but of late some Liber- al leaders have been urging that Liberals support the party that will share with them some of the par liamentary seats.
 Premier MacDopald's action today seems to entrench his party in power for it ought to assure him of virtually unanimous Liberal sup port in the Commons.

HOOVER SAYS
 OIL SCANDAL
 IS POLITICS
President Brands as Odious Attempt to Foist Kelley
 Charges on Admin.

WASHINGTON, Oct 28.-Presi- dent Hoover branded as odious the attempt to fasten an oil scandal on the Administration through the charges of Ralph Kelley, former head of the Denver field force of the Department of the Interior. Kelley said oil companies were ob- taining illegally valuable oil shale lands from the Government.
 Hoover said that while the pub lication of the Kelley charges in the newspapers did not represent high standard of American jour nalism, the newspapers might have been misled. He said, however, that Kelley or the papers could have determined the falsity of the charges if they had investigated.
 Hoover said that although Kelley came to Washington last July to arrange the sale of the story to newspapers the charges were de- layed so as to be injected into the political campaign. He said the newspaper which purchased the story is of political faith opposite of his own.

guidance on popular sentiment on such questions as prohibition.
 Only in the most general way is it possible to state the issues on which the election will turn. In the beginning, it was the ukase of Re- publican and Democratic spokesmen alike that the record of the half- completed Hoover administration should be the dominating note.
 It is true that much talk has en- sued about the Presidents attitude toward business depression, unem- ployment, the tariff, the drought and what-not, but the effort to maintain a national party front has produced results which might be called surprising even for time of political turmoil.
 If it were possible to lay out map of the political trenches shortly before election, the line of battle would be found somewhat more crooked than buzz-saw's edge.

WINDSOR, England, Oct. B. Shades of the ages will look down on the few Americans fortunate enough to obtain tickets to the service commemorating the restora- ton of St. Georges chapel here on November 4.
 Seldom have English officials been so overwhelmed by the de- mands made upon them by people of virtually all nations who desired admission to eolorful ceremony marking the end of years of labor.
 Many American applications were accompanied with offers of checks to be used in connection with the restoration expenses, but as the de- mand exceeded seating supply, but a small portion of the requests could be honored.
 Few English churches have as colorful histories as St. Georges

Stated differently, and from a national viewpoint, the voters will say whether President Hoover is to continue to have in office with him Congress overwhelmingly Re- publican. They will settle certain local unpleasantnesses over candi- dates who bolted their party ticket two years ago; will, conceivably, sort over in preliminary way cer- tain others who aspire to graduate into presidential candidates two years hence.

 Policy Is Uplift

We extend relief and succor the needy in order to bring the human derelicts to that higher level which makes for good citizenry and inspire those who have been down to rise to the higher levels and lead the life which makes them happy and use ful. The Salvation Army the world over is flourishing, and despite the difficulties that have beset it as to leadership the last year or two, is marching steadily onward in it's great work, and its future is assur- ed I wish again to thank the people of Juneau and vicinity, and to assure them of our deepest ap- preciation."

LEVITT KEEPS AT TT

Professor Levitt of Bedding again let his voice be heard when the stockholders of the New Haven rail- road met; but to the best of our knowledge what he said about the need for removing grade crossings fell on rather deaf cars.
 The railroad, like every other tailroad, dislikes heartily the sup- Jcct Of removing grade crossings. It costs money to do that, and in spite of the professors frequent reference 10 the fact that the law regarding the removal of grade crossings has not been well carried out, he re- ccivcs no favorable response from the railroad nor from the Public Utilities Commission. Indeed, he is the most unpopular or men in both circles.
 Yet Mir. Levitt unqucstionably has law, logic and the public safety on his side. On the other side is the desire to save money; i. C., 10 make profits. In this the railroad has been successful during late years; but the grade crossings for the most part remain.

THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY

The other day Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts told the Senate lobby Investigating commit tee that the Anti Saloon league, from 1884 to 1926 inclusive, has ex- pended the astonishing sum of s67,- 565,S13. The money, it was charged by the representative, had been spent in promoting the cause of prohibi- tion along political lines. Consider ing that the country is dry in theory, the amount evidently was utilized successfully.
 Along comes testimony by Henry H. Curran, president of the Associa- tion Against the Prohibition Amend ment, that his organization would need more than $1,000,O0O to con- duct it's activities this year.
 From 1884 to 1926 inclusive was 42 years, so that the Anti-Saloon League expended on an average considerably more than a million dollars a year. As matter of record, it's expenditures in the eighties and nineties were nothing like it's ex- penditures after the turn of the century, so that it is safe to assume that it cost the league more than s2,000,000 a year during the last two decades to put over prohibition"
 Now the Anti-Saloon league is greatly perturbed over the fact that the vets have solved the secret of effective political tinkering, which is to collect money and utilize it in influencing politics" through the election of wet congressman and to help stimulate the present "revolt" against the dry law in half dozen states or more
 At the same moment the Literary Digest poll, heretofore an accurate barometer of political sentiment throughout the country, sadly dents the dry notion that the country is preponderatingly in favor of prohi- bition. Truly the drys arc entering a period wherein they will be strictly on the defense, with one million dol lar a year organization fighting an- other million dollar organization.
 Had it been that way at the start the country in all probability would never have gone dry. In the days of the rich brewers and the rich distillers' who strictly attended to their own business and had no anti" organization, the drys stole march on them with their million dollars a year.
