SHOOTING STARS.

ParlOr Socialist.

Parlor Socialist.
I said was a Socialist
When I was making money,
In doing SO I would insist
That I was being funny.
Applause would freely come my way
And also laughter hearty
So long as I could freely pay
To give another party.
A much used word will often range
Through meanings all uncertain,
And Fortune with a cruel change
On banquets drew the curtain.
A Socialist, I raised alarms.
Hearers no more saluted,
MY soap box speeches had no charms
Only my feed box suited.

Ex-Governor Asks Election of
Roosevelt and Garner in
Speech at Newark

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 25
(I.N.S. ).-Alfred E. Smith was
on the warpath today in behalf
Of the cause of Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, Democratic presi-
Dental nominee, and the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Democratic circles were rever-
berating from the fighting speech,
the first of a series, delivered
here before an enthusiastic crowd
of many thousands in which
former Governor Smith termed
President Hoover the commander
of the dry forces of the nation.
Smith branded the Republican
party as one of broken promises,
bigotry, deceit and hypocrisy"
Asks ROOseveIt's Election
He called for the election of
Roosevelt and John N. Garner in
order to return prosperity to the
country.
Smith charged the Republicans
with facing both ways on the
prohibition issue in their platform
and declared, in contrast, that
the Democratic platform voiced a
clear demand for repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment and i'm
mediate modification of the Vol
stead Act.
In alleging that the Republican
prohibition declaration was
empty and "does not mean any
thing" Smith added:
"The dry forces had read
that section of the platform
and they know that these men
are not bound by it and that
when they go down to Wash
ingtOn, they can do as they
please about it.
consequently, it is easy for
them to receive the approval of
the Anti-SalOon League, the
WOmen'S Christian Temperance
Union, the Ku Klux Klan, the
Methodist Conference and the
aggregatiOnS of bigOts that
make up what they call the dry

DRY LAW FOES
FEARPOWEROF
'LAMEDUCKS'
Effort TO obtain Legislation at
Short Session MenaCed by
Defeated Members

The fate of prohibition in
the short session of Congress,
from December 5 to March 4,
may be decided by "lame
duck" members, survey dis
closed today.
The "lame duck" contingent
which includes defeated members
and those not seeking reelection
has already reached such pro-
portions that the group would
WELD the balance of power on a
close vote.s The records of Clerk
South Trimble of the House two
weeks before election show that
78 lame ducks" already are
slated to serve in the Senate and
House out of 531 members.
IS CIassed AS Drys
OF this number Of prospective
lame duck" members, SIS have
been classed as drys in the past.
Should they cling to their belief,
the drive of anti-prohibitionists
for submission of the Eighteenth
Amendment and legalizing of beer
would be greatly weakened.
The present congress probably
will be the last in which lame
ducks" can serve. Under the
Norris constitutional amendment,
now in process of ratification,
members defeated in the election
could not serve in Congress after
the people had turned thumbs
down on them.
The power of the lame duck"
contingent is recognized by anti
prohibitionists, who are sharply
divided on the question of
whether the short session of Con-
gress will act on prohibition. The
vets are virtually unanimous in
their prediction for action in the
Congress which takes office
March 4.
