N. D. BAKER AND JOE GUFFEY FOR
 ROOSEVELT.

One of the things that is likely to slow down the campaign his friends making for the nom- inaton of former Secretary of the Navy Baker for President is the fact that Mir Baker himself is for the nomination of Gov Roosevelt He declares that Gov. Roosevelt is popular, very able sound all the issues of the highest character and would make a very fine President However MT Baker is only being urged for the nomination Gin the event. that Gov, Roosevelt should fail to get thirds vote in the National Convention. Col House who is actively slpporng Roosevelt probably had that remote contingency in mind when he said that MT Baker is his second choice for the nom- nation
 Joe Guffey Democratic leader of Pennsylvania, is the last big Eastern Democrat to declare for Gov Roosevelt. Guffey is little wetter than Delaware Bay and supported Al Smith for the nomination in both 1924 and 1928.
 The New York Herald Tribune contains the following concerning Joe Guffey's attitude
 Joseph F Guffey Democratic leader of Pennsylvania and in 1924 and 1928 one of the stanchest supporters of former Gov AL fred E. Smith for the Presidential nomina- tion yesterday declared himself in favor of the nomination of Gov Franklin D. Roose- welt in 1882 and said that he would risk his reputation as a political prophet" on the prediction that Gov. Roosevelt will have the support of not less than sxty-sx" of Penn sylvania's seventy-two delegates to the next
 
 time"
 T have just returned from an extended trip during which I had conferences with Democrats in all parts of the State, well conferences with leaders and representative Democrats in neighboring States" he said "It is apparent that Gov. Roosevelt is not only the outstanding leader of his party, but he is also the most able and courageous executive and statesman in American public life today
 "The Democratic Party is fortunate in having a of lhis character and achieve ments to be it's standard bearer in the battle to lead the country out of the slough of despond in which it has widowed for most of the Hoover Administration. Roosevelt has been tried and proved in the fires of an executive responsibility second only to the chief magistracy of the nation. He faces squarely, honestly and courageousy the prin- cipal problems of today and tomorrow, such national depression and unemployment, the necessity of an intelligent solution of agricultural distress and the wrongful concentration and abuse of the power sources of the nation"

Of money to nebulous spirits in the
summary today of q sensational case
against two young spiritualists, who are
charged with practicing the same racket
as international Spiritualist swindlers
operating in many parts OF Europe and
America.
The trial. which is packing a court

manufacturer, Henri Bouchard, and a
fellow citizen, M Roche, of 100000
francs each through the fantastic evo-
cation of the eighteenth century brig

were said first to have preyed on Bcu-

then, gaining confidence, bringing forth

Despite the laws admonitions, tea-leaf
fortune telling and seances with the de-

though the revelations in the present
case are expected to curb the eXploiterS.
In Hungary recent disclosures of large
scale Spiritualist rackets. where graft
was done by international correspond
ence, have given temporary. setback
to the huge spiritualiSt ring, which has

Bouchard related how Veyre, in frances,
played Wagner'S music beautifully on
the piano, often later receiving encour-
ing table taps from the spirit of the
soldier-son of Bouchard, as well as mes
sages from the bandit Mandrin asking
for large sums to help finance a war

angels" Serve Drinks.

There is no doubt that part Of the
reputation of Paris has its origin in
places where Parisians never visit. For
instance, IN the Boulevard de Clichy,
rather unattractively winged saints and
angels will sell you something for one
franc glass, and next door IS. "Enfer,"
where similar refreshments are offered
by red and black demons from hell.
Across the street Is the Cabaret du
Meant, where the star receives you by
chanting a mass for the dead and you
sit at tables made of coffins. All this
may make Paris seem very wicked, but
it is a harmless expression, not of what
Frenchmen like, but of what foreigners
in Paris will pay for.
