 Pinchot had given Davis as au- thority for the statement that Presi- dent Hoover was anxious for the suc- cess of every candidate on the re- publican ticket, while Davis had stated that the president had not en- dorsed any candidate.

Drys Use Mother Goose Jingles
 in Bay State Efforts

Lynn, Mass, Oct. 23 UP) - Massachusetts women drys have adopted the Mother Goose manner to acquaint school children with the so called evils of intoxicating liquors. There is a little drink shop
 That everyone may close
 And that is the little drink shop Just underneath his nose"
 This i. only one of several jingles that appear in a novel pamphlet is- sued by the Massachusetts W. C. T. U. in it's perennial campaign against alcohol.
 Doesn't Plan School Distribution
 When the new brochure was ex- hibited for the first time at the 57th annual convention of the organiza- tion here yesterday, it was reported that w. c. T. U. leaders planned to distribute it in schools throughout the state.
 These reports were promptly met with a statement from School Su- perintendent Harvey s. Gruver of Lynn that dissemination of this literature among pupils or teachers would not be permitted in this city.
 A spokesman for Mrs. Alice C.. Ropes of Wollaston, president of the state w. c. T. U., told the United Press today that the organization did not plan to place the little jingles pamphlet in the schools. That method would be abhorrent to the w. c. T. U." the spokesman said.
 For 50 years the W. C. T. U. has been educating children as to the effect of alcohol on the human sys- tenn" said the presidents spokes- man.. The organizations efforts along this line have never ceased, despite prohibition. Just One of Pamphlets "The pamphlet in question is just one of the many published by the w. C. T. L. There is no plan to go directly into the schools with it. If it is distributed among school chil- dren at all, it will be through the Loyal Temperance Legion. a dry or ganization for young children, and the Young Peoples branch, a simi- lar body for older children."- Another of the jingles reads:
 Purple clusters from the vine:
 Pluck and eat them. they are fine. Press the juice if you incline,
 Into glasses, yours and mind. If we drink it when we should,
 While it's fresh and sweet and good Health and strength and joy combine
 In the juice but not In wine"

 SEATS DOUBTFUL
Democratic Veteran to Attempt
 Comeback in Nebraska

Washington, Oct. 2S UP)-Con- fidential reports to republican lead CTS concede that 32 of their house seats are doubtful" in the con- gressional election coming Novem- Der 4.
 The figure may be taken as the maximum which the administration expects to lose, and there is confi- dence among republicans that the loss may be considerably less,
 Such an overturn would leave the republicans still in control of the house by 40 vot9, not very strong majority in view of the unrest among farm bloc republican votes. The farm group at times controls many more than 40 republican votes. By throwing their strength to the democrats, a coalition Of sweeping power could be formed.
 Democratic headquarters is count ing a minimum gain of 53 and pub licly claiming their gain will be 5S or more. To get actual control. they need a gain of 52 seats, the lineup of the present house being: republl- cans 269, democrats 165, farmer la bor 1, with vacancies being counted for those who previously held the seats,
 Democratic Hopes
 Unofficially the democrats list their rock bottom expectations as;
 Missouri. 5 seats; Indiana, 5; Ken lucky, 5; Massachusetts, ,: Nebras- ka, 8; New Jersey, 1; Ohio, 5; llii- nois, 4; Oklahoma, 2; Virginia, 8; Pennsylvania, 4; West Virginia, 7: New York, 8: Minnesota, 1; North Carolina. ?; North Dakota, |; Ore gon, 1; Tennessee, 1; Texas, 1; Con- necticut. 1 and South Dakota, ].
 In a statement Sunday night Jou- cit Shouse of the democratic na- tional committee made the claim Of a 5S-seat gain including ' in New England at least Is in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Dela- ware, Maryland and West Virginia, al. normally southern democratic seats; 30 in the middle west from Ohio to Kansas, including illinois, Indiana. Missouri and Kentucky.
 Six of those listed and claimed by Shouse are seats in democratic stronghold which were lost to the republicans during the Smith presi- dential campaign of 1928. The re- publican party is making a serious effort to retain these seats but has largely concentrated it's greatest campaign efforts on more favorable battlegrounds.
 It is admitted on all sides that the minority has a better chance to cap- ture the house than the senate, where there are only II doubtfui republican contests. nearly all of which must be won to overthrow the republican control there.
 If a middle line between the claims of the opposing headquarters is taken, it is known that there ap- pears to be an even chance of the electorate reducing the republican majority of 104 down to about GA seats, which would enable the re- publicans desperate legislatiyely on almost the same expensive scale they have employed in the--present congress.

Lincoln, Neb.. Oct 23 Pt-The ability of veteran senator to "come back" after years of political retire. ment will be tested in the forthcom- ing Nebraska senatorial election.
 The veteran, Gilbert M. Hitch cock, Fl. democrat, a senate leader il the Wilsonian days, is seeking to return to the upper house. He IS contesting with formidable oppo- nent in Senator George w. Norris. republican insurgent. Hitchcock has campagned actively.
 There are political seers in Ne braska who contend that Senator Norris is unbeatable" In reply to such contentious, the dem oCratic nominee, tall. gray and dignified Of mien, has retorted that Norris "ii not a senator for Nebraska but from Nebraska"
 The third senatorial candidate, Mrs. Beatrice Fenton Craig of Lin- coin, entered the race by petition, She is a dry and has announced that if elected she will support the ad- ministration of President Hoover.
 In some quarters the campaign is viewed as a test of party regularity. In the primary Norris was bitterly opposed by standpat republicans, The primary was enlivened by the threatened candidacy of a second George W. Norris This contest, in which Norris decisively defeated the regular, W. M. Stebbins, drew the senate campaign funds committee to investigate the filing of Norris No. ?, small town grocer.
 Friction Found
 The investigation unearthed fric- ton between the Norris group and administration supporters. Although he did not testify concerning the matter at the hearing, Stebbins ad- mitted later that he had helped fi- nance the short-lived effort of Grocer Norris. who candidacy was de- scribed by the senator as piece of political trickery."
 In his present campaign Senator Norris not only has defended the many stands he has taken in oppo- sition to the administration but ha also has served notice that he would never accept the senatorial assign ment If he were restrained from what he termed "conscientious legislation" He has summed up his position on party regularity with the assertion, I'd rather be rigtt than regular.'
 Hitchcock, on the contrary, has emphasized his allegiance to partg ties and has declared that political parties are essential to q successful government.
 Twelve years ago Senator Norris and Hitchcock were colleagues in Washington. Norris, in his cam paign frequently has compared his acts in the senate with stands taken by Hitchcock in 1917, declaring the democratic nominee voted against two amendments to bills introduced in the senate 10 prevent the sale Of liquor to soldiers. He also criticized Bitchcock's record on farm relief legislation.
