LEWTON SCORES
TAKOMA PARK
VICTORY
Newcomer Beats Mayor
BY 666 to 605 Vote
In Election Race

By a majority Of 81, DR..
Frederick L. Lewton, in his
first campaign for the mayor
ship, yesterday nosed out
Mayor Ben G. Davis, for 20
years town clerk, treasurer and
mayor, in Takoma Park. The
vote was 666 to COS.
The fight for membership on
the city council lost its vigor and
color with the withdrawal of j.
A. LeClerc as a candidate last
Thursday. Lewton and Davis,
however, caused one of the bitter
est political battles in years, with
both groups extremely confident
throughout the day of victory.
Political observers attribute
Davis defeat to growing opposi-
ton over association of the city's
officials in county politics, and
fights over building of schools
and roads. Davis hackers, how
ever, belittle "home rule" by in.
Sisting that county harmony has
been beneficial to the city in get
ting public improvements.
Contributing strongly to Davis
defeat also was the action Of
Peter Remsen and r. G. Sher-
burne, who yesterday announced
they would support Lewton,
though members of the council.
The vote for the councilmen
was: Peter RemSen, 1927; r. G.
sherburne, 1882, and Irwin H.
Ware, 1872.

Herbert Hoover had 249 votes to

BALTIM ORE, May 3
(I.N.S.).-More than 100000
residents of this city may now
legally do the things they have
been doing illegally on Sun
day, Francis A. NJ i C h e |,
speaker of the Maryland
house of delegates, declared
today, following Baltimore s
crushing defeat of it's 200
T year-old blue laws. The citi-
zens voted 289,992 to 112,9S2
for the ordinance repeating
Baltimore's Sunday closing
law.
The ordinance permits Sunday
sports, movies, bowling, theatrl-
cal entertainments and the dlStrl-
button of various commodities.
Despite the old Colonial law,
Baltimore has been enjoying pro
fessional baseball games without
interruption. although theater
operators and distributors OF
bread and milk have frequently
been hailed into court for infrac-
ton of the statute.

Michel, one Of the most active
workers for repeal Of the law,
said:
"The city of Baltimore has
made a great stride forward.
1t is no longer in the hick-
town class. Another battle for
home rule has been wOn."
In one of the lightest polls in
the history of the State, President
Hoover defeated DR.. Joseph I.
France by only 10000 in the presi-
dental preferential primary yes

Interest in the primary was
overshadowed here by the vote
Of the liberal Sunday ordinance.
France Takes Early Lead
There was no contest for the

DR.. France threw a scare into
the Republican State organlza'
ton by taking an early lead over
President Hoover. AS it is. his
loss to the President by a meager
10000 leaves the State party
leaders in a somewhat embar-
rassed position.

MARKET
FIRM, DULL

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 GN.sD.
The stock market opened firm
today after the holiday but
lapsed into apathy and irregu-
larity by the end Of the first
hour.
Some selling was induced by
weakness in commodities. Cotton
dropped so cents a bale, and
wheat lost about half a cent a
bushel. Bonds on the other hand
were strong with railroad obliga-
tions leading the recovery. The
dollar held most of its recent
gains in the foreign exchange
market.
Leaders like U. S. Steel and
American Telephone lost about a
point each in the first hour sell
off. Volume failed to show any
measurable increase on the de-
cline and this brought evening
up tendencies in the second hour.
Trading was at a quiet pace.
Rails as a group were irregu-
lar but held relatively well. Cop
per stocks were better.

When John Stamper, another

EXPOUNDS HIS
RELIEF PLAN
TONIGHT
Democratic Nominee Goes on
Air at 10 P. N. Over
National Hookup

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. Is
T.N.S.).-Gov. Franklin d.
Roosevelt remained at the ex-
ccutive mansion today putting
the final touches on a radio
address he will deliver tonight
over a nationwide hookup in
which he will offer a concrete
plan for Federal relief for the
needy and unemployed.
He will be on the air from
10 to 1890.
The Democratic presidential
nominee, his advisors said, will
demand that the Federal Gov
ernment should see to it that
no one goes hungry during the
coming winter months because
of economic conditions.
To Ask Public Works
He is expected to declare in
favor of increased public works
as one means of providing en-
ployment for the jobless. .
Governor Roosevelt has stated
repeatedly that he is opposed to
the dole but he is firmly con
vinced that governments, state
and Federal, cannot stand idly
by while men who are willing to
work 90 hungry because they
cannot secure employment"
He also is on record as favor
ing unemployment insurance as
one step toward guarding against
a recurrence of present unem-
ployment conditions.
Off On Tour Tuesday
Tonight's speech will be the
last Governor Roosevelt will de-
liver until he starts on his sec
ond campaign tour through the
Middle West to st. Louis and
South to Atlanta next Tuesday.
While the governor said he had
not yet decided on the subjects
of his speeches for the second
tour, his advisors have intlmated
that foreign relations will be
taken up in one of the major
addresses.
He also is expected to devote
considerable part of ona speech
to the Federal budget, and there
is a growing belief that he will
make known his position on the
veterans bonus, possibly at
Indianapolis.
The membership of his
personal party will be about the
same as on his far-Western tour.
Mrs. Roosevelt will join him
either at Pittsburgh or Indian
apolis and complete the tour. His
eldest son, James, and Mrs.
James Roosevelt, and his daugh-
ter. Mrs. Curtis B. Dali, also are
expected to make the trip.
There is possibility, it was
learned, that the governor may
speak in Philadelphia during the
final week of the campaign.

insult met him in the lobby.
Pitt said:

"Surely. Let us go to the

Pitt, perspiring profusely,
seated himself in a brilliant GRIM

With a word of thanks, insult
accepted the envelope, placed it
in his pocket unopened, and then
escorted the consul to the door,
where he politely said good-by.
The one-time power magnate
then returned to the lobby, where
he sat and talked with newspaper
correspondents for several min

he had informed Pitt that the
passport was in the hands of his
lawyer. He said:
