Of "Othello"

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Nov. z
Q.N.S0.-The burlesque pre-
Sehtation of "Othello" by the
women of South Church moved
along at a fast pace. The cast
drew laugh after laugh, and
Desdemona, played by Miss
Margaret A. McReynoldS, was
the biggest laugh getter Of all.
Then DeSdemona suddenly
sank into a chair and remained
there rigid.
Anything for a laugh" the
audience thought and chuckled
and applauded. but Desdemona
remained seated and unblink-
ing.
The curtain came down, the
Rev. Warren S. Archibald STEP
ped out on the stage and
quietly led a prayer. Miss Nc.

CARAWAY DEATH
NOT OAFFECT .
LINEUP
Democrat Sure to Succeed
Him, Leaving Republicans
Still One in the Lead

Leaving the political lineup of
the Senate basically unchanged,
the death Of Senator Thaddeus
H. Caraway, Arkansas Democrat,
robbed his party of a forceful de-
batter and the leader in a long
fight to rid the halls of Congress
of paid lobbyists.
Known for a caustic drollnesS
of speech, the Arkansan was a
valuable ally in Democratic tariff
and agricultural fights. He had
not a superior in the Senate in
rough-and-tumble debate and was
respected and feared as an ora
torical opponent. He was a con.
slant, severe critic of the last two
administrations, and an ardent
admirer of President Woodrow
Wilson.
CaraWay's work as chairman of
the now famous Senate Lobby
Investigating Committee, which
first drew attention to the politi-
cal activities of Bishop James
Cannon, jr., won national recogni-
ton, and was incomplete at the
time of his death. He planned
this fall to continue the work of
his committee, going further into
activities of lobbyists during the
tariff revision work of the last
Congress.
Lineup UnaItered
The death of Caraway temper
arily restored the Republican
plurality in the Senate, lost
when Senator Dwight Morrow, of
New Jersey, died recently. Elec.
tiOn Of a Democrat from Kansas
is certain, however, So Caraway's
death will have no permanent ef-
feet on the lineup. TOd:y the
party lineup in the Senate is Al
Republicans, 46 Democrats, one
Farmer-LabOrite, and two vacan-
CieS.
The Arkansan was a constant
source of news as a result of his
tendency to attack "big business"
and the methods of the Republi.
can party.
A sharp. lashing tongue was not
the only oratorical attribute of
Caraway.. When he wished, he
could move the Senate as few
other members. His descriptions
of conditions in the drought sec.
tions of the South, where he said
hundreds of families were desti.
tute, brought tears to the eyes of
listeners time and again.

Speaking in the heart of normally
Republican territory, which how
ever is regarded by both sides as
likely to be debatable next year,
Mr.. Hoover struck a brief but boldly
defiant note against criticism of the
Republican tariff.
Our tariff had proved so low
that our farmers were being crowd
ed even from the domestic market
in many products which by use OF
diversification they can substitute

ness" Mr.. Hoover said. From that
condition we have given them pro-
lection, and we stand upon it.
The President deplored excessive
fears and apprehensions which
caused a mania for liquidation
that has reduced stocks of goods
and credits far below any neceS-
sity."
over 95 per cent of our families
have neither an income or a bread
winner employed" he said. Our
people are working hard and are
resolutely engaged, individually
and collectively. in overhauling and
improving their methods and serv-
ices. That Is the fundamental
method of repair to the wreckage
from our boom of two years ago; 1t
is the remedy to the impacts from
abroad. 1t takes time, but it is go
