MARKET
HOLDS STEADY

NEW YORK. Oct. 27 G.N.sJ.
The stock market fell back into
its recent lethargy today after a.
comparatively active opening in
which some fair-sized blocks of
stock appeared for the first time
in some days.
Prices in the main showed only
small changes, with the exception
OF Auburn, which suffered an
overnight slump Of 21a points,
and corn products, which jumped
112 points at the opening.
The market displayed a steady
undertone. Rallying tendencies
in wheat helped, as did a fresh
batch of September railroad earn
ings reports continuing the better
showing being made by the car
riers.
The speculative community,
however, clung to it's policy of do
ing nothing until some fresh
stimulus developed, and stocks
marked time.

HOOVER
Republicans to Keep Control
Must Win One of Three
Short-Term Fights

President Hoover, aside from
the outcome Of his race for a
second term, faced the posi-
bility today of completing his
present Administration with
the Senate, as well as the
House, controlled by Demo-
Gratis.
The political aspect of the Sen
ate at its December session will
be determined by results of sena-
torial contests in Colorado, North
Carolina, and New Jersey. The
Republicans must win one of
these three contests to retain con-
troll of the Senate throughout
the coming short session.
Both See Victory
This fight over the Senate has
been overShadowed in the greater
struggle to control it during the
new Congress, which does not
meet until after next March A.
In the larger battle, "a senatorial
seats will be at stake, and one
party must win 18 of these con-
tests to get clear majority.
The prohibition issue, incident
ally, may determine whether the
Senate goes Republican or Demo
cratic.
The candidates in these three
contests are:
Colorado-Karl C. Schuyler (R)
and Walter Walker CD.
North Carolina-J. F. New"
(RD and Robert r. Reynolds CD.
New Jersey-Senator Warren
w. Barbour (RO and Percy H.
Stewart CD.
Prohibition Made Issue
In Colorado, prohibition was
made an issue with Schuyler sup
porting the Republican resubmis-
sion plank and Walker making a
qualified endorsement Of Demo
cratic repeal plank.
In North Carolina, Newell is
running as a dry against the
dripping wet Reynolds. The Dem
ocrat won his nomination in two
primaries while running as a
wet. He has the endorsement of
repeal organizations. Newell has
the Anti-Saloon League endorse
ment.
In New Jersey, both Barbour
and Stewart are repealists and
have been jointly endorsed by
repeal groups.

TOMORROW
President Off Tonight on His
Fourth Trip to Bolster
Hopes in Midwest
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

A campaign finish such as
no President since Taft has
felt it necessary to undertake
in the closing days has been
mapped out for President
Hover from today to Novem-
ber s.
Tomorrow and Saturday will
see Mr.. Hoover invading the Mid
die West again for the fourth
time, with brief talks scheduled in
IA cities in West Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana, and eliminating in
a major speech at indianapolis to-
morrow night.
Four Speeches Monday
After a day Of rest on Sunday
he again will take the political
trial on Monday, leading this time
along the Atlantic Seaboard
States, with four major speeches
scheduled at Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, Newark and New York.
All told, Mr.. Hoover will travel
nearly 1000 miles and make more
than score of speeches from
Friday to Monday. Old timers
about the White House could
recall of no President, except pos
sibly Taft in 1912, who ever
wound up campaign for re-
election in such whirlwind fash
ion.
And after Monday there is a
strong probability that Mr.. Hoo
yer will make one final dash into
the Middle West again, visiting
Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Louis, or
Springfield, perhaps all of them.
The plans after Monday are still
in a state of flux.
Party Chief Alarmed

ending is Republican alarm. AL

At least so persons were in

Hyde Park, where thousands
of hunger marchers gathered
for an unemployment demon

mob and carry the ringleaders

Shortly afterward, another
group of rioters attempted to
overturn a parked motor car
as a gesture of protest against
the idle rich.
The temper Of the crowd
reached such a pitch that virtu.

entrance to the park, closed ana
shuttered their stores.
Resisted Attacks
While the street rioting was in
progress, group OF unemployed

turned and moved menacingly
toward an isolated group OF po-
lice, hurting handfuls Of mud,
turf and rocks.
Police reinforcements were
rushed to the scene and tore
into the rioters. The unemployed
resisted each attack with volleys
of missiles picked up from the
soil Of the park.
The rioters then got completely
out of hand. Tearing up small
trees and ripping down iron
fences, they charged into the po.

MALTA is VISITED BY
A DISASTROUS FIRE

Malta was visited Monday after
noon by one of it's most disastrous
fires in many years, when the Twin
City lumber yard in upper Malta.
was destroyed. The damage is es-
timated at more than $4,000. The
origin Of the fire is not entirely
known, but it is believed to have
Oil engine which ignited some dry
grass, and which famed by heavy
wind was blown under one of the
buildings. Very soon the entire
structure was a mass of flames, ane
while the fire department was quick
ly on the scene, the blaze had gotten
such a headway, that it was i'm
possible to save the two buildings,
one of which was filled with lun-
Der.
The Twin City Lumber Corr
pany was established by the late
Ira Calvert, and later Mr.. Johr
Mummey formed a partnership wiell
Mr.. Calvert, and since Mr.. Calvert's
death his widow has retained the
interest in the business. Mr.. Num-
mey is also one of the principal
owners Of the Waterford planning
mill The Malta concern has been
enjoying very good business. The
plant was about SIS, 900 one. Had
the Wind been blowing from another
direction, the chances are that the
fire would have been much moro
disastrous. The only part of the
concern not burned was the saw
mill, and building in which it was
housed The dimensions of one Of
the buildings consumed were 40x42:
the other 32x100.~ A tractor and a
derrick belonging to the Musking-
um Gravel company, and all teie-
phone poles in the vicinity were
burned. So intense was the. heat
that the railroad ties near the plant
were warped and bent, and the heat
was plainly felt on the opposite
side of the river. The firemen re-
manned at the scene until about
O'Clock in the evening in order to
keep the flames under control.
About l o'clock Tuesday morning
the flames again broke out, and the
fremen were, called to the scene.
Whether the plant will be re-
built, is not fully determined.
Insurance was carried in the
amount of $1,000.

OHIO NEEDS WHITE

On any reasoned basis, Gov
ernor White should be the
most favored of all the candi-
dates in the state. His rec
ord has been splendid. He
has held fast to the principles
of economy at a time when
economy means the life of the
State Government, and has
instituted his saving, with
such courage as few admin
istrative officials have shown. :
Outside of Ohio the remark
able control of Governor
White over state finances has
received wide recognition.
Newspapers and magazines
all over the country have
singled out Ohio as an ex-
ample of true economy in
hard times. And no twisting
of figures, and no campaign
oratory, can convince the
thinking citizen that the facts
of the Governors record are
not true.
1t would seem the height Of
folly TO relinquish the services
of such an executive at a time
when his special talents, prov
ed talents, are in great need.
Indeed, they will not be re-
linquished. Ohio needs Gov
ernor White, and when it
comes to voting, the sensible
voters of Ohio will not forget
the fact.-Cincinnati En-
quirer.
