81 can't begin to name the places
I've been. I was nice and clean when
l first came out of the bank at Oak
land, but that was before I got into
some dirty pockets and pocketbooks.
Then, too, l was hid from the sunlight
for long time once. 1 thought Bill
never would open his pocketbook, and
when he did finally open it 1 was so
cramped that l couldn't move for
long time. I had creases worn in my
back and my corners had been terri
bly, crumpled.
"One day 1 got into Scoops hands.
He got me from racking his brain in
order to write his column. I was
handed over to him by the Boss Editor
who in turn had received me from
Melvin Weimer for a subscription to
The Republican, and Melvin had re-
ceived me from Archibaldson for a
load of coal.
II didn't stay long with Scoop, as
I helped to pay his board up at Arch
ibaldson's. Mrs. Archie let me get
into Harry Miller's till in return for
some COW meat, but my visit there
was short as Harry turned me over to
farmer for some butter. I never
left town, even though was expect
ing to be buried in a sock, but
the farmer had his shoes repaired
at Earl Bursts and I went in ex-
change. Earl then took me to Frank
Smouse's store and bought several
kinds of groceries and I again ex-
changed hands. Frank then slipped
me to Bill Butt for his water account.
Then Mike Maroney got me for haul
ing snow and ashes and whatnot. The
city street department then visited
Jesse Ashby and paid his county and
State taxes and I was included in the
roll. Then Frank Rathbun got hold of
me and from him went to Prof. Bit
tie for teaching Otis Lawton his Civ
les, and he sure earned me.
"Mr. Bittle took me to the National
Bank and l was glad of the rest, al
though a lot worse for wear. While
there l toiled to make interest, but
was finally drawn out by Bob Hoff-
man and paid to Ray Teets for part
payment on his car. Ray gave me to
his son and it wasn't long before I
went for candy at Henry Lauer's.
Henry paid me to a farmer for eggs.
The farmer bought some gas at a
local station and the next thing I
knew was in a till at the A. and P.
Store.
"And that, Scoop, is the reason why
I had to say good-by to my Garrett
county friends, and I know I'll never
get back there again. l liked it there,
too, and could have gone on doing a
lot of good. If you see any of my
brothers, sisters, cousins, tell them
to stay if they can"

$50 Much That Amt So"

In recent issue of Golfers, a ma
tional weekly magazine, was a state
ment, "It amt so much peoples ig-
norance that makes so much trouble,
it's their knowing so darn much that
amt So"
That sentence would be good to
dwell upon during these times when
a lot of propaganda is being spread
over the county.

A Roosevelt victory would give

majority in the present house.
Scores of dry southern Demo

Rumor He'll

BOSTON, Oct. 26 Q.N.so.
Eormer President calvin Cool.
idge denied today that he, had
been approached or was con-
Sidering taking the position as

MOONEY TRIAL
HELD UNFAIR

NEW YORK, Oct. 26 GN.SJ.
An unfair trial was accorded
Thomas Mooney and Warren K
Billings, it was asserted in the so
called Suppressed report" of the
Wickersham committee, which
will be issued tomorrow by a local
publishing house.
"Flagrant violation of the
statutory law of California" were
mentioned in the report of the
murder convictions growing out OF
the fatal Preparedness Day bomb
explosion in San Francisco dur.
ing the World War.
The prosecution and the police
were blamed in the document for
failure to make Scientific at
temptS" to find the perpetrators
of the crime.
When the Wickersham commit.
tee report was made public this
section was not included. The
Senate demanded it from Presi-
dent Hoover later, and after OBJ
tanning it referred it to the Sen.
ate Judiciary Committee.

GOV, ROOSEVELT
SURE To CARRY
WEST COAST
California, Washington, and
Oregon Lean Heavily to
Democratic Nominee
By COLE e. MORGAN

The Pacific Coast, with the
election less than two weeks
off, can be counted beyond
any question Of doubt for
Governor Roosevelt.
California has in prospect a
half million Democratic ma
jority.
washington looks like a Roose-
velt State by approximately
$4,000.
oregon seems good for 10000
on the Democratic side.
These conclusions are arrived
at from a detailed county and
congressional district analysis of
postcard ballots from the three
States in the nationwide presi-
Dental poll Of The Washington
Times and other Hearst papers.
The Roosevelt sweep Of Cali
fornia extends the whole length
and breadth of the State, from
the Mexican border to Oregon,
and from the Arizona-Nevada
line to the sea.
Los Angeles county, which en-
braces eight congressional dis
tricts, the eleventh to eighteenth,
inclusive, has returned a poll re-
sponse showing a 81 per cent
Roosevelt sentiment. Applied to
the country's 1928 vote, this would
mean a Democratic majority Of
1892.
San Francisco county, includ-
ing the fourth and fifth districts
and recording a "a per cent
Roosevelt poll return, has an in
dicated majority of 92,452.

HOOVER STAKES
VICTORY HOPE
ON MIDWEST
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Michigan Believed to Be
Key to Election
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES


The importance which the
Republican high command at
taches to the Middle West i'll
this campaign is best attested
by the fact that tomorrow
President Hoover leaves the
Capital to campaign it for the
fourth time. He has visited,
thus far, no other section.
Friday will find Mr., Hoover
campaigning again across Ohio
for the fourth time, bound for
Indianapolis, where he will de-
liver a major speech that night.
Four States Hold Key
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan-there, in the opinion
of some Of Mr.. Hoover's close
advisers, lies the answer on
November 8. These four popu-
lous States have 88 electoral
votes. And that, should the elec-
ton be close, is an all,important
factor.
Mr.. Hoover's managers hope
and believe they have the East
ern tier Of States, from Maine
to the Maryland line. They be-
lieve also they have the Pacific
Coast. Give them, they say pri-
vately, this important quartet Of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Mich
igan, and they do not fear the
result.
Prospects of last-minute cam
paign dash by the President
across the Continent to California
were somewhat DINNER today,
although not definitely elimi-
mated. His Chicago engagement
is being held up pending a final
decision as to the Coast trip.
From Indianapolis Friday night
Mr.. Hoover will return immedi-
ately to Washington, arriving
here Saturday afternoon. On
Monday he will make his first
direct bid for the support of the
East, with short speeches in Phila-
delphia and Newark and a major
speech in Madison Square Gar
den, New York, that night.
Arrangements for Mr. Hoovers S
trip to ITew York call for his leav-
ing the train at Newark and
motoring into New York.
It is probable the motor trip
may be extended into southern
Connecticut for a brief speech.
Chicago Date Not Set
The Presidents campaign plans
after Monday are indefinite, ex
cept for the Chicago engagement
for which no date has been set
The Minneapolis and st. Louis
dates are possibilities after Chi
cago.
Republican leaders were some
what perturbed today by reports
from Indianapolis that the Demo
Gratis are planning to stage a
rival show to the presidential
appearance there Friday night
The reports stated that the In
diana Democracy is arranging ar
opposition rally with Gov. Albert
C. Ritchie as the speaker.
The President will travel tc
Indianapolis via the Baltimore
and Ohio lines, which will take
him through a portion of West
Virginia and Ohio not yet visited
He will deliver a series of rear
end speeches from his train, as
on other trips, and at Cincinnati
about noon, he will make some
thing more than a casual talk
He will arrive in Indianapolis
according to present plans, late
in the afternoon.

an who could not find time to work
1t seems that he had a dog at his
once, and when the man began to
work the dog wished to play. On

dog would bark so that neither the man
nor any one else could work
The man finally sold the dog. He

He sold the radio and bought golt
clubs and had even less time for work
Then dining hours began to interfere
