Politics And Personalities

Selecting Republican candidate to succeed the
late Nicholas LongWorth as Speaker OF the House
has become a game of "eeny Meeny, mney mo- The
variety Of names put forward is good indication OF
the chaos that exists in G. O. P ranks. Under normal
circumstances, Floor Leader John @ Tilson would
be the logical candidate But when every vote counts
the Republicans hardly dare to such staunch Old
Guardsman who is not popular with the Progressive
element the same IN more less degree holds true
Of Bertrand Smell who, together with EongWorth and
Tson formed the ruling triu1nvirate of the House.
No one person appears suitable bait Tor both
eastern and western votes Representatives William
Ramseyer of Iowa is too independent to please the
East while Representative Fred Purnell of Indiana
is too amenable to Administration commands to ap-
peal to his own section of the country Congressman
VIII Wood holds prominent position in the House
and is a Middle Westerner besides but talk of offer
ing him as compromise candidate seems sheer alb
surdty Imagine Turing the Insurgents to vote for
man who has termed their leader, George Norris, "a
consummate demagogue." Fiorello La Guardia is
leader Of the socaed liberal faction and halls from
New York However, La Guardias too colorful per-
sonalty and his conspicuous Haunting Of political
conyentionaites have detracted from his reputation
as legislator People inclined to regard him as
an actor, and few take him very seriously.
The truth is that no Representative exists who
can take the place of the debonair Nick In spite of
his conservatism and his dicaoria tactics he had
hold members of the House that can be attributed
only to his personal popularity The Republicans not
only have lost real leader in the Speakers Chair,
but it begins to appear that they have lost the Speak
ership itself if circumstances bear out appearances
ironic fate has taken from Democratic John Garn-
his best friend and given him instead the position
which that friend filled with peculiar charm and eff
fectiveness.

Recently, when the Commission wanted to shove
the duty cherries down, the President refused to
play Cherries sulphured in brine are dutiable at
912 cents pound The Commission investigated the
differences in costs Of production here and in com

half that amount. Mr. Hoover returned the finding
with brief note explaining that they were based on
conditions prevailing before the drought and that
more information was needed
The cherry duty itself is not as important as the

to agricultural reports, the drought has had little ef

The above is the complete answer to the false
claims Of "THE COMBINE'. It ("The Com

statement of the Aldermen-elect into a plea for
votes for Ka1ns.

In interpreting the first statement to be Harms

"The people of Nogales went to the polls on
April and unanimously elected board of
aldermen to sit as the governing body of this
city for the ensuing two years"
"The board of aldermen will keep faith with
the people of Nogales"

Hitherto" he said with emotion, "the
nations have fought in the manner OF
brutes. They were eager for vengeance
upon those they considered their en-
emies. We find, searching the national
anthems adopted by the great nations
that they contain imprecationS upon

destruction. and they have not hest

seek divine assistance in destroying the

conference room by Nine. Naidu.
I Although Gandhi usually sits on his

An intensely interesting descrip- tion of a Hon hunt formed part of a talk on Africa" given at the meeting of the Kiwanis club at the Elton to-day by Alden Stevens of Shelton, who for four years traded in East Africa and travelled thou sands. of miles on foot.
 The lion was killed after 1t was determined that this giant animal was the leader of herd of lions which was taking toll from a herd of cattle owned by a neighbor of MT Stevens.
 It was driven into a section of bush and when it charged out 1t took three shots to bring the animal down. On charge, a lion runs 100 yards in about six and a half seconds said MT Stevens
 "Aftef'I had taken the third shot at him, discovered had no bones in my legs. simply had to sit down and could not walk over to see the dead lion for a while" said MT Stevens. MT Stevens took the first and third shots at the beast. the second bullet being sent by another hunter.

FLEEING DRIVER TRIES TO HIDE
 BODY OF BOY
Picked Up Youngster After Hitting Him, Only to Discard Body at Remote Point -.Marker Nun1- bers Secured

New York, Dec. 16.-(UP).- A hit-and-run driver who ran down an 11-year-old boy, then attempted to hide his victim by removing him from the scene of the accident was hunted by police to-day.
 The victim, Edward McHugh of the Bronx was knocked down while playing in the street. Before the few persons who saw the accident could reach the scene, the driver of a costly machine jumped out and lifted the boy into his machine. He then sped away. ~ f-
 Instead of driving to Q. hospital, however, he turned off toward a reservoir. Then he stopped and pushed the unconscious boy out into the street. This. spot was more than half a mile fs som where the boy was run down. # (.
 One motorist saw the boy showed into the street and he pursued the driver, but was outdistanced. The license number of the hit-and-run was noted. however, and given to police. .%
 The boy was in a serious con- dition to-day, suffering from skull fracture and other injuries.
