ROBINSON ASSA|tS !
c. OF. WARNINGS.
Calls Claim Times Would Be
Worse Under Democrats
"UtterIy Untrue"

Republican campaign warnings that
things will be worse" under a Demo-
cratic administration aroused the wrath
Of Senator Robinson Of Arkansas, Dem
ocratic floor leader, who yesterday de-
clared such statements as utterly un-
true"
In q statement issued through the
Democratic National Committee Rob-
inson also termed as absurd" and
dangerous" the administration conten-
tions that this country came near going
OF the gold standard last Winter.
Granted that serious situation ex-
isted-but not the disaster of which
the President now speaks-it was a
Democratic foresight, leadership and
courage which pointed the way out"
said the Senator, adding that Senator
Glass. Democrat, Of Virginia, led in
enacting legislation to increase utility
Of the country's gold reserve.
The very lack of leadership Of the
Hoover administration, of which this
is an example, is sufilcient answer to
what Is now almost the only Republic
dangerous to make a change" he said.
Danger can never ccme through the
discharge Of stupid and timid public
servants.
so desperate is the plight of the
Hoover campaigners ana spellbinders,
from the President down, that they
thrown history, logic and facts to the
wind in the effort to stem the Demo-
cratic sweep throughout the country.
Secretary Mills for instance. Is max
ing the assertion that things will be
worse If the Democrats are elected.
This Is old Republican strategy.
1T is utterly untrue to say that
things will be worse The Republic
ans have had every opportunity to test
their fallacious policies. The Nation as
a result has gone through the worst
period of depression it has ever known.
Republican principles. carried to the
extreme by President Hoover, have fail
ed and no bogy man the administration
orators can picture will prevent the
people from demanding change"

Hitler based his demands for
the chancellorship on the over
whelming gains of his party in
the recent parliamentary elec-
tions, made the National Socialists
by far the largest single body in
the Reichstag.
The Nazi leader, however, failed

Results of the elections left the

Chancellor Heinrich Bruening.
Offered Minor Post
In an effort to meet Hitler's
demand halfway, the Nazi leader
was offered the post of vice
chancellor as long ago as August 2.
He turned it down flatly and
without hesitation, confident that
his huge electoral gains and the
determination of his shock
troops would serve to convince
President Won Hindenburg of the
advisa,, ,.ty of making him chan
cellor.
President Won Hindenburg
feared to turn the reins over to
Hitler, realizing the possibility
that the fiery Nazi chieftain
might entrench himself firmly
and then stage a bloodlesS coup

a Nationalist Socialist dictator

Repeal Stand Taken by

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 13
NN.S.D.-Mrs. Ella A. Boole,
national. president of the
Women Christian Temper
ance Union, in her keynote
speech at the opening of the
organization s convention here
last night, declared that the
w. C. T. L., as a unit, could
not support the Republican
party nor President Hoover
insofar as prohibition is con-
cerned.
Opposed to Both
At the same time. the women'S
leader pointed out that dry Con-
gressmen should not subscribe to
the party'S wet plank if it vio-
hated their dry convictions.
She also declared that the
Democratic plank and Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt had advo-
Gated repeal and immediate modi-
fication to permit beer and that
the w. C. T. U. is opposed to both.
She said:
"Mr. Hoover, in his speech
of acceptance, goes further
than his party and advocates
giving each State the right to
the adoption of an amendment
determine its method Of con.
troll, huS identifying himself
with those desiring a change.
IL would not presume to die
tate to any w. c. T. U. mem
Der how she should vote. Study
the records of candidates, ask
yourself the question: How
can I vote so as to save the
Eighteenth Amendment or as
much Of it as possible"
Hits At Rockefeller
Eve cannot accept either re-
peal or the amendment pro-
posed by Mr.. Hoover. We will
oppose both proposals every
step of the way. 1t may be that
your convictions on other great
national q-eStiOns will help you
in reaching a decision"
John D. Rockefeller, jr.'s DE
9alcation to the wet ranks" was
attacked by the w. C. T. U.
executive committee. An official
statement said:
"The entire span Of wet false
hood is encOmpaSSed in one
paragraph of John ID. ROcke-
feller, jr.'S letter to Nicholas
Murray Butler, dripping repeal
ist."
The paragraph referred to
was quoted by the w. c. T. U.
as saying drinking generally
has increased; the speakeasy
has replaced the saloon, prob
ably twO-fOld if not three-fOld."
The w. C. T. U. statement said
drinking has decreased IS per
cent as shown by Government
records; the hidden speakeasy is
almost negligible as compared
with the saloon; crime is de-
creasing; best citizens don't defy
the law.

NEDS BRENT

HARRISON, N. Y, Aug. 13
G.N.SO. Ruth Chatterton, &C

were married here today by JUS
tice of the Peace Winfred C. Allen.
1t was only yesterday that Miss
Chatterton became free to marry
Brent, whose name has been
linked with hers for the past
several months.
A surprise hearing in Minden,
New. yesterday gave Ralph
Forbes, her husband, a divorce
from her and it was undoubtedly
this which caused Miss Chatter
ton to decide upon today as her
wedding day.
Friends had expected them
eventually to marry, but the move
today took them by surprise.
Previous to the divorce Miss
Chatterton and Forbes had come
to an agreement as to the di-
vision of property owned by
them.
Miss Chatterton arrived in
New York yesterday after a

with rope clothes line that the
flesh was cut in places an inch
deep.
Wire spring clothes pins were
fastened to the flesh of his chest.

placed under his chin and tied
to the head-rest Of his dentists
