LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. c., July IL
The Democratic party's plank for repeal
of the eighteenth amendment has
drawn the fire of the Board of Tenn
perance and Social Service of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South and OF
Bishop James Cannon, jr, who was the
handspring of the anti-Smith movement
which swept part of the solid South"
into the Republican fold in 1928.
Denouncing it, the boards annual re-
port, prepared at its meeting here, as
sertS ANY attempt by any party plat
form declaration to bind the members
of that party en- moral issue is dis
tinct invasion of the moral reason and
IS. therefore, not only an indefensible
infringement of the rights of con-
science, but gross insult to 1ndepen-
dent citizenship.
Such action will be repudiated by
conscientious men and women through
out the country and this entirely apart
from prohibition"
Bishop Cannon, president of the
board. read the report here yesterday
and then discussed his views of the
respective attitudes of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the Democratic presidential
nominee, and President Hoover, the Re
publican presidential nominee, toward
repeal. He said he was speaking as a
citizen.
Roosevelt he described an "outspoken
enemy of the eighteenth amendment"
while he said President Hoover's last
public statement on the question re-
corded him as opposed to repeal. He
said this was the Presidents message
transmitting the Wickersham report to
Congress.
Written in the report of the board
was the assertion that our people
should vote for men and women who
believe that prohibition ought to be the

MICHIGAN CALL
. Of FORD HEARD
BY HOOVER
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

Dy OGONOG
On the heels of Henry Ford's in
structions to mis- employees through.
out the country to vote the Repub-
hcan ticket, President Hoover will
journey to Detroit this weekend
and join hands with the motor
magnate in an effort to keep rest
less Michigan bound to its tradi,
tional Republican moorings.
Michigans 10 electoral votes
represent no inconSiderable stake
in the battle for the Midwest.
And Notwithstanding that Michi-
gan has never given its electoral
vote to a Democrat, all the straw
votes and newspaper polls thus
Tar have shown Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt far in the lead.
G. o. P. Danger Spot
Admittedly the State is a dan
ger spot for the Republicans. No
industrial city has been harder
nit than Detroit in the last three
years. Unemployment has been
great and distress acute.
With this in mind, Mr.. Hoover
probably will elect to speak to
his Detroit audience on relief and
unemployment plans. His deci.
sion to go to Detroit was largely
influenced by Ford, and by the
worried appeals from Republican
leaders of the State that unless
the tide can be turned there in
the final three weeks of the cam
paign, Michigan will be lost.
En- route to Detroit, Mr..
Hoover plans another day of
rear-platform campaigning across
a part of West Virginia and
Ohio. touching portions he has
not hitherto visited.
Harmony Lacking
All is not harmony for the
Republicans in Michigan. Sen.
ator James Couzens, the indie
pendent critic of many Admins
tration policies, has been main
tanning a stony silence so far as
the Hoover-Curtis ticket is con-
cerneG.
His attitude has paralleled
that of Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho. Indeed, it has
been expected by Democratic
leaders that Couzens would an
nounce for Roosevelt before the
campaign ends.
Future Plans Uncertain
The Hoover plans after next
Saturday are still in a state of un-
certainty
Worried leaders in California
have been insistent that Mr..
Hoover's presence on the West
Coast is necessary before election
If his own State is to be saved.
The President has been loath to
a Pacific journey, but
at the same time he has been
deeply concerned over the pros
pect of losing California.
This concern was partly relieved
today by the optimistic report
brought back by Secretary of the
Treasury Mills, who followed Gov
ernor RooSevelt's trail through
the state. Mills said California
Is safe for Hoover"
He made a similar report con-
cerning Kansas, Utah, wyoming
and oregon.

poyes not to force upon them the partisan political

This newspaper agrees with the President in on
posing the cash bonus proposal But we are opposed
equally to gag rule against civil servants on this
issue or any other-so long they are acting as ind
Wduals and not in behalf of political party
Two questions are in point:
Would the administration have reversed its dis

not been the bonus and if the administration had not

would the victim be reinstated if he had been fired

Why is so much ado made about the actual and

on the threat of being fired, and when the admins

like dogs in the house feel morally superior to those
who prefer theirs outdoors, who keep at all?
I am aware that these questions will mark in

of more vital topics.

some special virtue because of these preferences.

LEGISLATION Is Wrong

TINE Walker case is rooted in I'M
Il intelligent legislation. Whether
the former mayor is guilty. or limo
cent, as charged, the method pro-
vided for his removal is out of tune
with the fundamental principles of
justice.
Whether Governor Roosevelt has
acted wisely, the power granted him
is contrary to sound conceptions of
home rule and local Self-govern-
ment.
Justice Staley put his finger on
the weakness of the whole Set-up
when he said that in case like this
the governor of New York was not
answerable to the courts, but only to
his own conscience and the public.
One can believe that Walker has
been incompetent, or even crooked
and still see the danger of permit
ting the office to be vacated on the
mere Say-So of a governor.
We must not lose sight of the DOS
Sibility Of having bad governor re-
move a good mayor, as well as a
good governor remove a bad mayor.
AS long as that possibility exists,
any proceeding instituted to remove
a mayor or other official will be
open to the charge of political ex-
pediency.
Not only New York, but all other
states, as well as the nation itself.

Roosevelt. Walker and Tammany

Coming at the time it did, the Walker hearing
developed into the first great test for Franklin d.
Roosevelt, presidential nominee While Walker
faced Roosevelt, Roosevelt faced Tammany. He met
the crisis with courage and with common sense.
He could have sidestepped He could have ap-
pointed a commission He could have found other
ways of passing the issue. He could have adopted
many OF the that political expediency suggested
He could have employed the laws delays that are
so commonly employed when it is desired to avoid
a task the doing OF which involves peril to supreme
ambition.
Instead. Roosevelt did the Job that was set before
him, but in doing he drew the bitter fire of the
nations most powerful political organization. And
now Tammany in rage, threatens to knife Roose-
welt.
Whether he can carry the Empire state in the
November election becomes the most vital practical
phase of the campaign of 1882. How that will come
out only the next two months can tell.
But whether he loses or whether he wins New
York he has raised himself UNNECESSARILY in the
esteem of all those in his own state and the other
states of the Union who admire courage and yearn
for good government.
We hope and trust that Franklin d. Roosevelt
will meet the other problems of this campaign with
the same drectness and the fortitude that have
characterized his conduct in the Tanlmany test
AS for Walker the passing Of Jimmy is the pass
ing of an era the era of charm The depression hit
Jimmy as it has hit so many thousands of others.
1t hit him in a different way, but hit him, never
theess In times of prosperity, charm will take one
a long way, and Jimmy had charm in a measure
possessed by few in the history of public life.
When the economic skies shining and milk
and honey were flowing, the wastefuness that was
the day and night companion Of Walkers charm
worried his fellow citizens but little, if at all.
It was realized that Jimmy luxury and an
expensive one but it time for luxures.
Then came adversely. Incomes dropped, but pub
lie expense continued to rise The wastefulnesS which
Walker personi1ed continued, and sentiment toward
the man of charm began to change.
The Investigations did the rest. They showed how
lavish had been the mode; how costly had been the
pace how expensive the fiddler.
Had the investigation occurred during the years
of the BOOM rather than in time of rapidly multi
plying hardsnips, that change in public sentiment
probably would not have occurred and had public
sentiment been hostile to those processes which
finally brought about the retirement of Jimmy
Walker, the processes would not have succeeded
And so it comes to pass that Jimmy Walkers name

Think for Yourself

This nation has never had more important cam
paign than the one now in progress On its results
may we'll depend the whole trend of the future, not
only of this country, but of the world.
For that reason, it is especially important that
every citizen think for himself this year refuse to
take his politics from labels
This is the year for selfish thinking. Every one
should try to determine just what is best for him
self in the way of government.
The man without job viii try to discover what
government is likely to produce conditions that
will give him work.
The whose job is still safe is more than in
terested in conditions that will permit him to keep
his job The man with business a home will want
to how he keep his property from confscaton
Or his business from bankruptcy.
For that reason, whenever it is possible to hear a
candidate for the presidency no matter what ticket
party he represents voters should welcome the OPP
portunity to help them make up their minds
On Tuesday evening, Norman Thomas the
didae for President on the Socialist ticket will speak
fore, as paid lecturer and many people have paid
:or nothing he should appeal
Not many are likely to agree with his theories or
his remedies But no one doubts his sincerity his
ability If you fear socialism, listening may help you
TO fortify your conservatism You may discover why
you will not want to vote for him.
But in this country, the only hope is in an cleo
torae that will carefully examine and test any policy
or program that is offered. This country can never
be afraid of ideas if it is to continue Progress and
stability only come from an informed and in
telgent citizenship.
So it may be worth while to listen to Thomas just
as it is always worth while to listen to President
Hoover candidate Roosevelt when they talk the
radio.
This is the year to listen, think and then vote.

Jimmy Walker Has Put on q
Stunt That May Wreck the
Democratic Party IN This
Campaign.
NEW LONDON, Conn, Sept. g.
IN Mayor Walkers resignation is
typical of the mana seemingly
brilliant move until one begins to
analyze it. The playboy has put on
a stunt which well may wreck the
Democratic party in this campaign,
Tammany hall included.
He doesn't even realize it. Kind
people will excuse him, on the
ground that recent experiences have
made him rather hysterical.
How can Walker run for re-elec-
ton without continuing his abuse
of Governor Roosevelt? How can
Tammany support him without bolt
ing the national ticket?
If Walker loses, Tammany will be
sunk. If he wins and Governor
Roosevelt loses, Tammany will be
held responsible for the Democratic
party's defeat. If both he and Gov
ernor Roosevelt win, Tammany will
be exposed to the wrath of ma
tional administration which it
knitted.
Walker has risked all this in an
effort to hold the spotlight. His
strategy is both obvious and shall
low. Those who fall in with it are
going. to pay a heavy price.

Peoples Voice

Editor TimeS-Few people desired
the government to grant the ex-
soldiers demand for a little cash to
tide him over the rough road of I'M
employment and hunger. OF course
the weakness of his cause was that
he simply waited too long to ask
for his share of the war gravy.
His old buddies in the American
Legion who condemn his efforts
have been busy ever since they got
out of the army, and now are sitting
in nice fat political job or have
managed to get theirs by the pen
sion swindle sheet, because of a bad
cold or sore feet which they con-
tracted while they were catching
seventy-five millimeter Shells and
throwing them back into the Ger
man lines.
Fourteen years is simply too long
for a hero to wait to ask for his
back pay. The poor farmer has for
gotten his $3.50 wheat, the NUM-
tons manufacturer, the railroads
and the poor bankers, all have for
gotten their bonuses and prohteer-
ing.
So the hungry bonus marchers
stood little chance to collect enough
cash to buy a few meal tickets from
government who just has squand-
cred billions in a great war JAM
boree. All this is sufficient rea-
son for the American Legion to be
proud of its participation in favor of
costly war memorials, and opposed
to hungry bonus marchers' methods.
For the Legion to take up the cry
that its ex-buddies were Commun-
lists is too silly to be taken serious
ly, and causes one to hold his nose
when the Legion claims to be the
voice Of the ex-service man. If the
members Of the bonus army had
demanded assistance for all in need,
then there would be some excuse to
accuse them of being radical.
AS it was, they we're interested in
their bonus only, and were as gentle
as only homeless and hungry men
can be till Hoover's stalking horse,
Pat Hurley. turned the dogs Of war
loose with tear bombs and orders to
evcit the bonus buns out Of Wash
ington.
For a citizen to realize that he
was tricked into engaging in thirty
billion dollar war fasco is enough
disillusionment to occur in any one
life, but for a patriot to be treated
as a nuisance by the government he
