A member of a West End boot

asked for. The average size now is
8, although 4 is often met with.

REPUBLICANS PUT
ON SPOT BY MAINE
Energetic Campaign Attitude
of HooveriteS as Democrats
Use Caution.
RY MARK SULLIVAN.

NEW YORK, September 15.-1n the
brief time since public knowledge OF
the Maine result nothing has happened
IN minimize its significance. Each
PARTY organization has adopted new
attitude based on the accepted meaning
Of Maine.
The new Republican attitude is de-
termination to be more energeuc; 30
far it is a determination onE. Nothlng
actually done by the Republicans SO
far in the way OF organization gives
promise of overcoming the conoitlon
revealed by Maine With little time,
however. the Republicans and the con-
servatives on whom they rely Will snow
more energy. There will be real nght
shortly.
The new Democratic attitude Is to the
effect that all they and their candidate
needs to do Is to avoid mistakes. That
attitude has expressed itself In refrain
ing from comment on the public call OF
President Hoover to the Republicans to
take account of Maine. The Demo-
cratic attitude, as it exists In the ma
tional organization in New YORK AZ
least. is to the effect that their presl-
dental candidate should be careful to
of voters. As to that policy, Gov.
Roosevelt is, of course, his own master.
Democratic Favor.
The basic thesis that the Democrats
need only to avoid mistakes is as OF to-
day perfectly sound. The Maine result
means that as of today the country Is
headed to go Democratic very strongly.
There is very little in the Maine out
come from which the Republicans can
extract any hope. There is a precedent
in 1880 for what Is possible now. In
1880 Maine, as now, elected Democratic
Governor and two months later the
country elected Republican President.
That can happen now. 1t Is entirely
possible for the Republicans to win by
hard work by the Republicans and by
conservatives. 1t is possible also for
the Republicans to win through Demo-
cratic mistakes.
Democratic Advantage.
The Democrats, however, have the
Republicans on "hot spot" The Re-
publicans are the victims Of what Is
called in base ball q squeeze play"
The chief aid to the Republicans is i'm
proving business Improving business Is
impeded by uncertainty Of the outcome
of the presidential election. The Demo-
Gratis resent any one saying that busi-

by likelihood Of Democratic success;
The net Of 1t Is that Republican nope

ANAC0ST|A FLAGP0LE
PROPOSED BY B. E. F.
Veterans Want to Commemorate
Encampment, but They May
Need Congress Consent.

The Bonus Expeditionary Force wants
to erect flagpole in Anacostia Park
to commemorate in years to come the
memorable encampment in the National
Capital, but it may require the sanction
of Congress to do it.
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, 3rd, director
Of public buildings and public parks,
has written a letter to Senator Nc
Nary, Republican, Of Oregon, that if the
fagpole Is a memorial it is necessary
to obtain the authorization of Congress
to erect it on public land.
AS the bonus marching movement
had its inception in Oregon, the vet
Grams seek to erect a f1agpole made of
an Oregon tree 100 feet in height.
Under plans before Col Grant, the
fagpole would be set on the higher
ground, overlooking the site of the
present camp in Anacostia Park, with
steps leading up to it. A panel eight
feet high would be built at the base Of
the pole and contain the names of all
the veterans who participated in the
Bonus Expeditionary Force.

CLEVELAND. June 23.-The Rail-
way Labor Executives Association yes
terday called upon Congress to stay in
session to see the country through its

attacked the prevailing propaganda"
against Congress as "atrociously un-
fair"
"A vote to adjourn is a vote to aban-

where the fate Of the Nation may be
determined" said resolution approved
by the association. which Is composed
OF the heads Of 81 railway labor or
ganizations ,-and represents approx
mately 2,9a0, 900 railroad workers.
The resolution said Congress "has
been driven persistently into enacting
legislation primarily for the protection
and aid Of the most powerful special
interests Of industry and finance" but
now that it is finally undertaking to
do something for the common man, a
clamor to adjourn arises from all those
favored groups who have got all the

Is ample evidence of a bipartisan con-
spiracy to compel Congress to adjourn

GARFIELD COMBATS'
B0RAH OPPOSITION
G. 0. P. Hopeful Idahoan Will
Change His Attitude After
Hoover's Speech.
BY the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
An attempt to Offset Senator Borah' S
violent opposition to the Republican
platform and its prohibition declara-
ton was seen today in new statement
from James r. Garfield defending the
party's campaign utterance.
Chairman of the committee which
drafted that platform, Garfield not only
argued Strenuously against the points
made by the Idaho Senator against the
resubmission plank, but expressed re-
gret that Borah was unwilling to con-
tinue giving ''his thought and ability
toward a constructive, forward-looking
program"
In political circles here there was a
feeling the republican high command
not only is determined to ccunteract
any influence Borah's denunciation may
have had, but would even like to find
a way Of enlisting his impressive cam
paigning talents for the President.
Borah is believed by some to have left
himself way open to support Mr..
Hoover despite his declaration before
the Senate that he would not aid the
Republican nominee if he runs on the
party platform. Should the Presidents S
acceptance speech, still more than a
month off, interpret or expand that
platform IN manner pleasing 10 bOran,
these observers believe the Senator
might support him.
Garfields statement argued the Re-
publican submission plan. If accepted
would leave Congress full power to pre-
vent return Of the saloon in any State
and full control over the States Of any
prohibition or system of liquor distri-
button they might choose On the con-
trary. he said. straightout repeal would
leave Congress absolutely unable to

He denied the convention or his COM
mittee were packed with Office holders
and maintained that one-quarter of the

than 10, voted against the plank

Borah's argument, the delegates did
