thusiasm of millions of theatre
goers for it's clever entertainment,
and the administration of juvenile

If this husband had come up on
those men at the time and had
killed not only one but all of them,
why he would have come clear with
medals on him, but because he
waited awhile to shoot him, why
that makers him a murderer. In

call out some more names. Every
body is trying to get it over on the

it on what is sold.

HUNGERR RIOTS

The fear that unless the So

starvation and riots in this coun-
try this winter" was voiced yes,
terday by Norman Thomas, So
cialist candidate for President.
Mr.. Thomas spoke at a lunch
con at the National Press Club,
and warned:
"The drift of the times is to
great violence. There is a
degradation of politics. The
outstanding fact in America is
there are not enough Americans
who have faith in either major
political party to fill a room as
large as this in which / speak"
Thomas said the Socialists are
gradually making headway, are
growing remarkably in numbers
in colleges and universities, and
I'VE will have big vote in No
vember."
He advocated a capital levy on
wealth and described as entirely
practicable" the Socialist pro-
gram for a $4,000, 100000 outlay
for direct unemployment relief,
public construction and ultimate
establishment of unemployment
insurance and old age pensions.

Presidents Warning About
False Prophets Called
Applicable to Him

DETROIT, Oct. 22.-De-
nouncing President Hoover's
recent warning against "false
prophets" Gov. Albert G..
Ritchie of Maryland, advised
the American people to con-
slider how most of the mil
lenium" propheside by Mr..
Hoover in 1928 has come to
pass.
After a trial of four years Of
policies that have failed, he said.
the country should renounce the
Administration and turn to the
Democratic party as the only
hope of relief. He added:
Every single relief measure,
for which credit is now claimed
for the President and his party,
was passed at the last session
of Congress, admittedly under
Democratic control"
Calls Hoover Bungler
PRESIDENT Hoover IN his Admin
istration, Ritchie said, has sadly
bungled vitality important ques-
tionS.
Promising farm relief, he de-
clared the farm never needed
relief so much as now. The
Smoot- -Hawley tariff bill, signed
by the President, has caused more
disaster than any other; promised
abolition of poverty failed as ten
million are now jobless, and in
stead of Preside Mt Hoover's
pledged economy in Government
there has been a marked increase
in its cost, were other of Ritchie's
contentious.
