Likewise, the results four years
ago showed violent fluctuations from
the previous votes. Mr.. Hoover
broke into four of the ten southern
states. This tendency has been
growing since early in the century,
when the elder Roosevelt snatched
Mississippi from the Democratic
preserves in 1904
BY 1912 the ferment ubbled over
into Roosevelts third party move
ment which plowed up the entire
landscape.
World War Breathing Spell
The World war interrupted the
process by diverting attention from
domestic politics. 1t created a spirit
of national unity.
The attempt of the Republicans
to return to "normalcy," instead of
normally it became a revival of a
mass movement which by 1928
amounted almost to hysteria. This
was manifested both in the presi-
Dental campaign and in the busi-
ness world.
Mr.. Hoover as candidate In 1929
was credited with superhuman
genius which the most perfect hui
man being could not hope to live
up to.
The stock market and real estate
boomS, the insult empire, the over
building in almost every industry
far beyond any reasonable con-
sumption capacity appear almost
fantastic in retrospect.
Mass America surged back and
forth in speculation, in adulation of
popular heroes like Coolidge and
Lindbergh, in the unprecedented
stampede to Mr.. Hoover and the
equally massive stampede away
from him within four years.
Beyond Politicians Control
Drys reigned four years ago. Both
presidential candidates deserted
them this year.
The popular vote for Mr.. Hoover
this year was about 10000 more
than Smith received four years ago.
Roosevelt received about 100000
more votes than Mr.. Hoover re-
ceived four years ago In 1923 Mr..
Hoover lost only eight states. In
1882 he carried only six.
Such mass shifts are beyond the
control of professional politicians
and their doorbell ringing organiza-
tons, no matter how extensive.
When mass America moves as it
moved for Hoover in 1923 or away
from him in 1892, something is go
ing on among people as a whole
that can not be reached by pre-
cinct workers.

Even in the states which Mr..
Hoover carried in both years, this
violent f1uctuation shows in his
pluralities:

WASHINGTON, May IA food
Of congratllatory letters and teie-
grams today poured into the Office
of Representative william II. Lar
rabee, Democrat, Of New Palestine,
praiSing him or signing the petit
lion for a vote on the O'Connor
beer bill.
Encouraged by the response Of his
constituents in the new Eleventh
Indiana district, Larrabee an
nounced today that he would go the
full length in supporting the pro-
gram of the anti-prohibition forces
hereafter.
The support of the Anti-Saloon
League in the recent primary was
unsolicited, Larrabee said, declaring
that in the campaign he had told
the voters he was in favor of re-
submitting the prohibition question
to the people Tor settlement by
referendum at any time.
Larrabee said, however, that he
still did not like the Beck-Linthi-
cum resolution for repeal, which he
voted against a few months ago.
His vote on the Beck-Linthicum
measure aroused the opposition of
the vets Of his district, and he won
the nomination only because they
divided their votes between three
opponents.
The people are under misap-
prehension that the Beck-Linthi-
cum resolution would have done
away with prohibition overnight. It
will take a long time to repeal the
eighteenth amendment"

'ON-THE-FENCE'
PLANK SOUGHT
BY HOOVER, AIDS
Anti Prohibition Plan to
Please All, Is
Ambition.

b. Scripps-HoVord Nswspapsr ATlfarc,
PHILADELPHIA, May 17-Pres-
ident Hoover and the Republican
best minds" are trying TO find an
anti-prohibition plank for adoption
at Chicago which will satisfy the
vets and still not annoy the drys toe
much.
The President. it is said. has not
yet decided that It is politically ex-
pedient TO abandon the noble ex-
pertinent" completely.
These we're compelling reasons for
the surprising action Saturday of
the Pennsylvania state Republican
committee and the Pennsylvania
delegates to the National convention
in twice evading any prohibition
declaration.
Most delegates came TO Philadel-
phia confidently expecting to adopt
q repeal declaration.
Hoover Agent Present
Confidential word soon was spread
among them that it would be Eek
tremely unwise" for the Pennsyl-
vania delegation 70 adopt signifi-
cant resolutions in advance Of COM
plete agreement. elsewhere, on the
plank to be adopted at Chicago.
Others we're told that President
Hoovcr's hand should not be
forced" and that he would be EN-
bsrrassed" If the biggest Republican
state in the nation demanded a vet
platform.
Another group argued that it
would defeat its purpose If Pennsyl-
vania was too prominent in the re-
peal fight.
In the background was Robert II.
Lucas, executive director of the Re-
publican national committee and
Hoover field agent. who had Jour-
neyed from Washington to counsel
with the state leaders. Even for
mer Senator William S. Ware, boss
OF the Philadelphia organization.
who has for six years campaigned
against prohibition. was persuaded
that a soft-pedaling policy was bet
ter.
Denies 'Pussy-F Footing"
Senator Reed, regarded as the
Presidents choice for chairman of
the resolutions committee at Chi
cago. also advocated silence. In
stead OF delivering his anticipated
speech recommending adoption Of
the Swedish system of liquor con-
troll Reed did not say a word pub
licly on prohibition. Later Reed in
dignantly denied that there had
been any "pussy-footing" or steam
roller tactics.
Senator Davis and his campaign
manager. Joseph N. Mackrell of
Pittsburgh, one Of the delegates,
were the only ones to disregard
the hush-hush program.

ROOSEVELT HAS
BIGGER EDGE IN
DIGEST POLL

The conservatism of the nation
wide postcard presidential poll of
The Washington Times and other
Hearst papers again was demon
Strated today.
Published returns in the Lit
erary Digest poll from 38 States,
as contained in that magazines
issue of October Is, showed So
per cent of the Hoover-R Roosevelt
ballots going to Governor Roose-
velt and AZ per cent to President
Hoover.
Returns to date in the Hearst
newspapers poll for the same
States show 54 per cent of the
ballots going to Governor Roose-
velt and 46 to President Hoover.
Average Is 81 Per Cent
The average percentage of bal
lots by which the presidency has
been won in the 10 elections Of
the last 40 years has been 81, the
exact figure that the Hearst news
papers poll shows Governor
Roosevelt drawing in the 38 States
under consideration.
In two States, Arkansas and
Utah, the two polls agree on, the
percentage division. In 10 States,
the Hearst newspapers poll gives
Governor Roosevelt a higher
rating than the Digest returns.
They are Alabama, Arizona, Della
ware, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine,
Mississippi, Nevada, South Caro-,
lima and Vermont. All of these
are States of relative small elec-
toral voting strength.
Lower in rs States
In the other 26 States of the
38, including every one that may
be regarded as debatable or that
will cast a substantial electoral
vote, the Hearst newspapers poll
shows Roosevelt percentages vary
ing from l to 9 per cent under
the figures accorded Roosevelt in
the Digest tabulation.
This is particularly noticeable
in Ohio, where the Digest gives
Roosevelt So per cent and the
Hearst poll 49 per cent. Kansas
is another, the Digest giving
Roosevelt SIS and the Hearst poll
Al per cent of that States vote.

NEW YORK, Oct. II QNS),
A grave financial crisis confronted
New York, biggest city in America,
today, threatening to put it into
a plight similar to that of Chicago
when it was unable to pay off city
employees, including its army of
school teachers.
The powerful banking groups,
which nine months ago saw New
York through a financial crisis by
floating a $1OO,000,000 loan and
establishing a revolving credit
fund of $151, 100000 have turned
thumbs down on loaning the city
any more money until a drastic
retrenchment program is put into
effect.
