with profanity, "cussin- out" in his
inimitable manner, the incumbent
Governor for being lax in his parti-
san activity.
But now the shoe is on the other
foot.
. So, tired of waiting for Leslie to
tell the placeholders at the state
house to get out and do little
scratching for the ticket, Appellate
Judge Noel c. Neal, candidate for
reelection, called the employees to-
gether at a meeting the other night
and told them, in as few words as
possible, that if they wanted to eat
next year, they would better go to
work in the campaign.
Or, as they tell me, Tom Barr,
deputy banking commissioner and
veteran politician, put it in phrases
crude but strong:
you people will find out if the
Democrats are elected you will be
sitting out on the sidewalks eating
damp snoWballs.'
The G. o. P. jobholderS were a
trif1e perturbed. They had thought
that after paying their assessments
to the party their duties were ended.
Instead, they now must go out in
the precincts and hustle for the
ticket.
That is the fault of the spoils
system, of course.
There was some comment regard
ing the absence of the titular head
of the party, Governor Leslie.
But, as one man put it:
We'll get more votes if Leslie
continues vacationing than if he
takes to the stump. His oratorical
powers are just about as effective
as his governing ability"
Which, thinks the ScowIing lieu
tenant, is very, very dirty dig, be-
cause Leslie has learned to read a
speech.

Asper grunted but it was plain
that Dudleys attitude pleased him.
Dudley turned to Dona and smil-
ingly claimed kiss.
She flushed as she gave it. Dud-
ley certainly believed in taking
every advantage he could of cir
cumstances.
Swergin appeared just then in the
doorway. He scowled at Dudley and
Dona.

plainly felt abused.
Dona almost burst out laughing,
in spite Of the fact that she was
grateful for the delay.
Dudley caught the CLEAN Of
laughter in her eyes and scowled.
Whats so funny?" he demanded.
Nothing, dear, only you look so
awfully mad" Dona patted his
hand.
Modified, Dudley took her arm
and they walked slowly back to the
main building. ASper was sitting
up in bed eating broth and toast.

them.
Feeling lots better, aren't you,
Dad?" Dona said eagerly.
Asper scowled at the broth. "If
I don't get some real herman food
pretty soon, I'll waste away"
Dona laughed and patted his
arm. Sick folks can't have short
cuts for breakfast" she chided him.

Dona tried to pass him, but he
pushed her back. If I have to do
1t, can pack you up the hill" he
warned
; Realizing that he meant just what
he said Dona gave in. But she did
not return to her room. Malloy
seemed disturbed by this and sat
watching her grimly.

and his scowl vanished. How are

Malloy shook his head. "Nicked, 3"
he grunted Finally he Strengthened.
You said Ball shot him?"
Sure, slugged him from beside
the trail"
Dona felt a tightening at her
throat as the man stirred and
groaned. She felt a little sick, too
as she watched Malloy wipe red
stains from his hands with ban
dana handkerchief. The tall cow
boy grunted.
Ball never shot this man. He's
plugged with a rife bullet. Soft
messed" Malloy lifted the mans
head as he spoke
"Sure, Ball plugged him." the
rider snapped we seen it."
You lie like a coyote, but get
him over TO the Doc and have him
fixed up" Malloy slipped his arms
under the wounded mans shoulders
as he spoke.
Dona slipped away and ran to-
ward the main building. Ball was
dangerous. That was plain. He was
a real killer, and no mistake about
it.
What disturbed her was the wav
Malloy stood up for him. She
would have to see Swergin and
have Malloy fired. 1t was like hay

Dona slipped into her own room
and locked the door, but first she
made sure her father was sleeping.
Then she lay thinking for an
hour, although she was tired. Finally
she fell into troubled sleep.

Break for the G. 0. p?

IN the 1923 campaign, Harry G.
4 Leslie, then Republican Gov
ernor nominee, grew very irate be-
cause one Of his convention OPP
ponents, Frederick Lands, didn't
take off his coat and pitch in to
help his candidacy.
He accused Lands of not being a
true Republican, and since then has
attacked the Logansport editor re-
peatedly.
In fact, every Republican who
didn't rush to LeSlie's aid was and
has been blacklisted.
In 1880, when the G. o. P. ticket
was fighting an uphill battle, Les
lie, now Governor, made less than
half a dozen speeches.
In the 1882 campaign, now under
way, Leslie has made but one cam
paign appearance. That was at the
Lake Winona rally, and he sat by
complacently while the record of his
administration was praised.
While other Republican Office
holders have been out sounding the
Welkin, Leslie has been vacationing
at the states cottage on Lake
Michigan, apparently little disturbed
by the cries for help from state
headquarters.

Dona pushed him back and closed

called.
Dudley moved down the hall to

ties in the area adjacent to Hongkew.
The Japanese suggested that they as
sumo responsibility for fire protectlon
in the area, to which the settlement
authorities replied that the settlement
brigade were capable OF coping WIN
any fire within the settlement borders.
As darkness came on and less than
IL hours remained before the Japanese
were expected to begin their onslaught,
a feeling akin to despair gripped the
city's business leaders, both Chinese and
foreign. In these quarters it was re-
yealed that frantic efforts were mace
by the business leaders today, IN direct
conferences with the Chinese military
officials, to persuade the Chinese to
withdraw, but that the conferences
failed.
After this the business interests lost
all hope of forestalling the storm, and
members of these groups expressed the
opinion that since it was now beyond
hope to stave of the battle, the sooner
it is over the better.
The treasurer of the International
Settlement indicated the settlement
may face a sharp financial crisis as q
result of the emergency. Collection of
taxes for the current month, he said,
have fallen IS per cent because c. the
disruption of business, and the extreme
uncertainty left the majority CT the
Chinese unable to meet the levies. The
settlement already faces likelihood of
an increase of taxes. he said, but he
was seeking to avoid this emergency.
Heavy emergency expenses were be-
ing incurred, he said, one item OF which
is $4,000 a day for food for volunteer
forces and special police.

A Senate judiciary subcommittee to-

committee a favorable report on the
nomination of Judge Benjamin N. Car

The action came after protests by
William H. Anderson Of New York, who
said the jurist assisted Tammany" in

name and convicting him OF what he
termed fictitious crime called third
degree forgery"
Anderson. who described himself as
general secretary Of the American
Protestant Alliance. said Justice Car
dozo's memorandum refusing me lib

was more worthy of the most slippery
Police Court pettifogger than Of a pros

Anderson served q term in Sing Sing
upon conviction of altering the books
Of the Anti-Saloon League Of New
York, Of which he was State super
intendent. He said today the charge
was false"
He had given the same statement
against Judge Cardozo for six years in
New York, he said. and would have
given it sooner had he not been warned

Asked BY Senator Ashurst, Demo-

Board at the time.
Anderson said he wrote President
Hoover when Cardosos name was first
proposed that he had evidence of a
"major political scandal" involving the
nominee.
