Beverly Hills-Wen all know is
just what I read in the papers, or
what I see here and there. You
know it's been weeks since the
Olympics finished, but for couple
or thre weeks after it was over it
felt out here like kind of an old
Ghost Town. We had gotten 81
used to going to the Stadium every
day, and we had seen the athletes
so often, and the thing kinder got
next to you.
Well one of the last to leave was
some of the Japanese, and among
them was little Nichi Baorn Nichi,
he is the one that won the high
jumps with his horse. He was just
about the most popular little rascal
that was here. They say he is ire
mendously rich in his own coun-
try but no one knew that till after
the games were over. He was just
Another" japanese cavlery officer
to everybody.
They made a lot of friends the
Japanese did over here. That
Shanghai and Manchurian thing
had just about put EN- in the dog
house as far as they were concern
ed, but they acted so fine and were
such good sports that they went
away in the good graces of every
one. Course they hadent any more
than got on the boat till we read
in the papers that Japan was TAX
ing Jehol. Jehol is a province in
China. Its kind of a Buffer"
province. It lays between Man
churia, and China property, and the
Japanese claim that they have to
have it as it allows the Chinese
to be too near to their operations
in Manchuria. They was messing
around about it when I was over
there away last fall. They are al
ways going to have lot of trouble
over there, but its long way from
our home. I sure wish our State
Department was as far away from
things as our folks are.
Politics is just a boiling trying
to jell. I sit around and try to
keep my ear to the ground. Moth
ing between it but a pillow, but I
can't get heads or tails out of
whats going to happen. Everybody
on both sides If you talk to EN-
will be so confident, that it makes
you ashamed Of how little you
know yourself.
Now I get this news from a fell
low the other day and he is a man
that should have some idea for he
is doing nothing but just travelling
around taking Hearings on pub
lie opinion. Have been since I
saw you at the convention in Chi
cago in every city east of there, so
have pretty good idea of what
will happen in the fall. First of
all I think we will get a Demo
cratic governor in Maine. Moses I
think will be defeated in New
Hampshire. Will get the Demo
cratic governor in Indiana but will
lose the Senate to Watson. Roose-
welt will get Ohio and Michigan by
slim majoritys but will loose both
of them to Republican Governors.
The Far South don't even know
Hoover is running. If he get a
vote south Of the Mason and Dix
on line it will be some stray kin
folks of his. Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Maryland, and Kentucky will
go for Roosevelt. Democrats
haven't got a chance in Pennsyl-
vania, but will take an even bet
that they get Maine and Vermont.
I have done fifteen and mid
west states, and start of into the
Northwest and west right away"
Now you have it. He tries every
way he can to get the opinions. He
just holds a clinic over every vot-
er. But vote is a funny thing.
