HEFLIN MAKES
TRY FOR SENATE
AS INDEPENDENT

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Nov. 1. U.P)
Alabama held an election today
which echoed loudly the Hoover
Smith battle of 1923.
For the first time in sc years the
state was confronted by an intra-
party Democratic contest of first
magnitude, and in consequence
total poll of 250,00Q voters or more
was in prospect
Clear, crisp November weather
forecast a heavy turnout.
Boiled down to it's ultimate es-
sential, it was a test of the ability
of the regular Democratic machine
10 discipline one mani. Thomas
Feflin--for boiling the partys pres
idential nominee two years ago.
It was because Heflin, senator
and member of Congress for gen.
Grafton, cast his political lot with
Herbert Hoover that today'S bat
tie developed, for the state Demo-
cratic committee expelled him from
the party primary last August.
Heflin organized virtually one
man party which he called the
":effersonian Democrats and on
! that basis is competing today for
! reelection against john II. Bank
head. of Jasper regular Democratic
! senatorial nominee.
, There is difference of IFS, 200
votes between the rival claims of
fieflin and Bankhead, the Demo-
cratic cast-off claiming he will
sweep the state by 100000 while
Bankhead's managers assert Heflin
will be rcpudiated by at least rs 900
NOteS.

Peetie coiled his rope again ard
threw it at the rabbit. But once
more something went wrong. All
of a sudden the Wolf, who was
hiding behind a stump ready to
pop out and catch Uncle Wiggily,
all of sudden the wolf stuck his
head up and Peetie's lasso went
right around his neck instead of
around Uncle Wiggily's.
"Oh, you've lassoed the Wolf!
You've lasSoed the Wolff" cried
Baby Bunty. Good for you, Poetic,
That's a fine trick. Come on ev-
erybody, and pull the lasso tight
around the VOLTS neck" So they
all pulled, even Uncle Wiggily and
Aunt Lettie, until that Bad Chap
was so choked that he was glad to
run away and not catch anybody.
Peeties trick was good for some

how I can catch him or anybody
else.
We'll. I suppose that trick will

Wuzzy. But why aren't you at
school, Peetie?"
Its Election Day and there isn't
any school," barked Peetie, with a
laugh. May I get a piece Of line
now?"
yes, but don't take it ali" said
Nurse Jane. Il shall need it again
next wash day.
So Peetie, with his teeth. only BIZ
off part Of the clothes line and
then, making a loop in it as she
had seen the Wild West cowboys IN
the movies, the puppy chap went
out to find his brother or Uncle
Wiggily or somebody on whom he
could practise lasso throwing.
The first playmate Peetie met was
Baby Bunty, the little orphan rab-
bit girl who lived with Uncle Wig
g;ly.
What are you going to do, Pee

I'm going TO do some wild West

POOH You can't" laughed Bun
: ty.
Ill show you!" boasted Peetie.
Look here!" lie began to twirl the
coils of clothes line about his head,
as he had seen done in the moving
pictures. Then all of a sudden he
tossed the rope around Bunty, hold
ing one end in his paw. But the
loop, instead Of settling around
Bunty's head, fell at her feet and
some distance away.
Pooh! knew you couldn't !asSo

Bunty, be wild COW, will yOu?'
DO you mean that YOU want nc
to run so that vol can lasso nc
better?" asked Bunty.
yes, that's it, Poetic answered,
coiling the clothes line again. Il
didn't do the trick right that inc,
but l will this. Go on, rum
So Bunty began to run, making
believe she was a wild COW in a

Billy Wagtail, the goat boy for

Peetie, just like a cowboy. fIe
swung the lasso and raced after
Bunty and then he threw the loop
again, but something went wrong.
For lust then Aunt Lettie, the ner-

the corner of tree and the laSso
caught her.
"Oh my dear sakes alive and
some mush!" bleated Aunt Lettie.
I'm so sorry!" barked Peetie ~
