ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 11-Amer-
ica"s political minstrel, the dap
per, song-writing, jesting mayor of
the nations largest city, drew the
political spotlight today for his SUI
preme effort, performance before
the Democratic candidate for pres
ident.
The performance was intended to
prove to Gov. Franklin D. Roose-
velt that James j. Walker, Jimmie
of Broadway, was fit to be mayor
of New York.
Walker was ready for his act In
the solemn, dignified atmosphere
of the executive chamber where
criminals have pleaded that they
be spared death in the electric
chair, where cabinets have decided
state matters of utmost Importance.
The mayor was confident, gay,
cheerful, apparently, as the day he
last won office by a two-to-one
vote, and happy in the memory of
the greeting he received here. 1t
was a tumultuous, shouting roar
that hailed him as the next gov
ernor," and presidential salute Of
81 aerial bombs whose echoes
, bounded off the statehouse hill and
rolled down to the Hudson.
It was happy, joyous greeting
he received here last night-a
greeting organized by allies of Tam
many Hall, but noisy and impress
sive just the same. It was Jimmie
Walkers day.
Today was another day. What
it had in store for what one writer
called "the Clara Bow of politics"
none knew. What it had in store
for the judge, political candidate
who needed every vote, none know.
May Be Candidate
Some said Walker would be re-
moved, and thereupon would an
rcunce his candidacy for the gov
ernorship in opposition to candi-
date favored by Roosevelt. Some
said Walkers host of friends, Iii
case of his removal, would desert
the head of the Democratic ticket
and help swing the state and its AZ
electoral votes to Herbert Hoover.
He won New York by 100000 oyei
his Republican rival
These reports were ridiculed by
others. But the Tammany crowd
in Albany last night hailed Walker
as "our next governor"
Charges among the Is conclu-
sions Samuel Seabury drew from
evidence he procured, included one
that Mayor Walker received a mil
lion or more during his official
terms from beneficient friends"
and that the gifts were for the pur-
pose of obtaining official favors.
Others included the charge that
he failed properly to execute his
official duties, that he held stock
in firm awarded city contract,
that he failed to produce complete
records for an investigating COM
mittee, that he wasn't frank or
truthful before that committee, that
his conduct in general rendered
him unfit to continue in the office
of mayor.

HITLER GRANTED
AUDIENCE WITH
Won HLNDENBURG
Fascist Leader Expected
To Be Named New
Chancellor.
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

UIlted freSS stan correspondent
BERLIN, Aug. f1-President Paul
Won Hindenburg, confronted with
a rising tide of Fascism and the
menace Of Adolph Hitler's mobiliz-
ing storm troops" will grant an
audience to Hitler tomorrow to Of
fer him the chancellorship.
The rapid developments of the
last few days have brought the
Fascist leader at last to his goal.
Won Hindenburg, however, was ex-
pected to attach four conditions,
and it was doubted If Hitler would
accept. The conditions are:
1. The constitution must be re-
spected.
2. The Fascist militia must not
be employed as auxiliary police.
3. There must be no equality be-
tween the Fascist militia and the
reichswehr, or regular army.
4. There must be no party gov
ernment relying on the storm" de-
tachments for support.
Great suspense over the outcome
of the audience prevailed. Won
Hindenburg will first do his utmost
to persuade Hitler to renounce his
claim to the chancellorship, and
agree merely to Nazi participation
in the cabinet. Hitler was not ex-
pected to agree.
Meanwhile, the 18th anniversary
of the proclamation of the German
constitution was observed officially
| today under strange circumstances.
While 10000 people surged in the
open space fronting the reichstag,
Constitution day was celebrated in
the reichstag chamber in the pres
ence of Won Hindenburg, the cabi-
net, other prominent persons and
| foreign diplomats.
They heard Chancellor Franz Won
Papen and Baron Wilhelm Won
Gayl, interior minister, make
speeches acknowledging the funda-
mental aspects of the constitution,
but emphasizing that it must be
changed radically.
Irony Noticed
llClC woo OIL lhl4lS llOllJ bilC
monarchist minded government
commemorating the republics birth
at the moment when Hitler
avowedly a deadly enemy of DEM
/ ocracy-was about to be offered
the chancellorship.
1t was a question whether the
government was celebrating the
republics birthday or officiating at
the burial of the democratic Wei
mar constitution.
Hindenburg was greeted by the
Socialist battlecry of freedom"
from the young Socialists. He sat
immobile through the ceremony, his
heavy face grey and lined with age,
showing no emotion.
The beSpectacled Won Gayl,
standing in the lilac-decorated ros-
trum, said four changes in the
constitution are essential:
/. The electoral law should pro-
vide for balloting by constituencies
instead of by regional lists and the
voting age, now 20, should be raised
to eliminate the midget" parties.
2. Anonymous responsibility"
must be abandoned, meaning that
ultimate decisions should be with
drawn from the elected reichstag
and entrusted to government at
least emi-dictatorial.
8. An upper chamber should be
established, curtaiiIng further the
reichstag's prerogatives.
4. Relations between the reich
and Prussia should be modified,
meaning a close unity without nee
essarily infringing on states right.

GEORGE WASHINGTON WAS
A SUCCESSFUL STOCKMAN

George Washington was a farmer
as well as soldier and a President,
the United States Department of Ag-
rieulture says. Washington was born
and raised ON a farm and he always
returned to his Mount Vernon estate
when he was not called to public
duty by his country.
AlthOug htObaccO was the impor-
tant Virginia crop, Washington also
took an active interest in livestock.
At one time he had 100 horses on his
| Mount Vernon estate. His sheep
numbered more than 900 in 1898 and
in the same year he had over 300
cattle. Washington was also prob
ably the first person to raise mules
in this country. He received two
Jacks and two tennets as a gift from
the King of Spain an dalso received
jack and two jennets from Lafay-
cite. Oxen were used for heavy
work nthe plantation but Wash
ington had many work horses also.
He kept riding horses and broke and
trained his own animals. He was
interested in increasing the wool
clip of his foclls and at one time got
as much as 5H pounds of wool to
the fleece while his neighbOrs got
only about 2l5 pounds.
WashingtOn's will, made in the
year of his death, listed more than
1000 head of livestock, conservative
ly valued at more than $4,000. He
was handicapped in his livestock
raisinfi because his Overseers and
slaves were inefficient and he was
forced to relp on them when he was
serving as President and at other
times when he was in the public
service.

Winter has come at last with all
its fierceness. On Sunday we were
visited by heavy gale of wind and
rain, turning to snow early in the
evening, which soon began to freeze,
gripping us in the hardest freeze we
have had this winter. Many radia-
tors were frozen. The binding snow
driven by the high wind made travel
almost impossible. A large shed,

on the farm of Foster Pierce, was
partially blown down, pinning some

Some farmers are hauling their

growing market crop this year is
very poor.
The writer had the pleasure of
hearing a speech Saturday evening
last at Milford Grange, made by
former County Agent M. c. Vaughn,
of Coolspring. He urges the farm
ers to grow enough to feed their live
stock and feed their families and to
try at least to have two marketable
products from his cattle, and grow
two farm products he can turn into
money. 10 his mind he says we
have got to adjust ourselves, learn to
live with less money to exchange,
and live off the farm. He also said
that he believes cooperation is the
only way to bring about this adjust
ment.
