Youthful Driver -
Fined In Court

On a plea of guilty to driving
his car at 40 miles an hour in a
IS mile zone, Judge Lee Nuffer of
the Ell Centric police court this
morning sentenced Walter WEIGH,
IS, to pay a fine of $40, releasing
the youth on payment c. So and
a promise to pay the balance on
the installment plan.
The youth denied charges by
Frank Smyer, city traffic officer,
that he was travelling at 60 miles
an hour on a dirt road south of
Ell Centre, and that he drove for
six miles before the officer was
able to overtake him.
He did not drive at more than
As miles an hour on the dirt road,
WEIGH said, and went only two and
a half miles before Smyer over
took him.
Smyer's report stated tn t
WEIGH, after leaving Ell Centre,
speeded over the dirt road, caus-
ing a cloud of dust which obscured
the officers vision.

THE DICTATOR
I will not accept dictation from this or
1 any other organization.

will not accept dictation from this or
any other organization"
The statement was made by the Hon.
William Gibbs McAdoo, Democratic
candidate for the U. S. senate, in COM
menting on the determination of the As
sociation Against the Prohibition Amend
ment, to oppose his candidacy.
Of course not. Why should Mr.. Nc
Adoo take dictation from anyone? He
dictates instead of taking dictation. He
dictated to the Democratic delegation
from California at the Chicago conven-
ton. Directed by the Democrats of Ca
lfornia to vote for Garner, Mr.. McAdoo
dictated to them that they should vote
for Roosevelt-and they did.
Mr.. McAdoos sole purpose in turning
over the Garner vote to Roosevelt, he
says, was to prevent party strife and
turmoil, and possibly wreckage of the
party, by a prolonged course of ballot
ing. Far different from Mr.. McAdoo's
tactics at Baltimore in 1912, when he
battered down Champ Clark in 46 bal
lots, to nominate Woodrow Wilson. AL
so his excuse seems to overlook 1924,
when he stayed in the contest himself
for 103 ballots. In view of these two in
stances his refusal to keep his agree
ment with Smith to take six ballots, and
his surrender to Roosevelt on the fourth
ballot, do not coincide with his former
tactics.
1t could hardly have been regard for
party welfare that prompted McAdoo's
action. And of course it could not have
been dictation for Mr.. McAdoo himself
says nobody will dictate to him.
Apparently peeved by the decision of
Jouett Shouse, his former close political
ally, to support Tallant Tubbs, the Re-
publican candidate for the senate, Mr.
McAdoo boldly announces that he will
never vote for the return of the saloon.
Throughout the length and breadth of
the land it is impossible to find a poll
tician or voter who would so vote, or at
least who would dare say now that he
would. So this ringing declaration of
Mr.. McAdoo is not so hot, as the come
dams say.
What Mr. McAdoo will do, he says, is
to vote for resubmission Perhaps he
will. He told Al Smith at Chicago
that he would consult with him after six
ballots had been taken, in case no candi-
date had two-thirds majority, and Al
is still waiting for the consultation. If
Mr.. McAdoo would double cross a party
leader like Smith why should he be ex-
pected to give any consideration to the
desires of the average voter? After
years of dry leadership he is trying to
appear as a wet-but is he?
Reverting to the subject of dictation,
it might not be amiss to wonder if there
really is anyone from whom Mr.. Nc
Adoo takes dictation. Perhaps not.
Perhaps he doesn't even take it from
Hearst, but only perhaps.

PRINTERS INK OR RADIO?

MO matter how wide a campaign tour a
~ presidential candidate may make, it
is a physical impossibility for him to
speak in person to more than small
percentage of the electorate The vast
majority of voters must get his speeches
through the newspapers, and must as
say the man and his platform through
the medium of the printed word.
That, of course, is the way it has been
ever since the republic was founded
Recently, though, we have been told
that the radio has changed all of this /;
that the electorate can sit at home and
hear the speeches as we'll as if it flocked
to all the campaign meetings; that the
word-of-mouth appeal will, henceforth,
reach everyone.
This charming theory, however, now
and then stubs its toe.
The other night speech of Governor
Roosevelt was being broadcast. Just as
the candidate approached the climax of
his speech, the voice coming over the
loud-speaker faded; then an announcer
explained that due to commercial con-
tracts it would be impossible to go any
further with the campaign speech, and
moment later the rigamarole of some
advertiser was on the air, followed i'm
mediately by the noise of jazz band.
The handicaps under which voter
must labor if he tries to follow the cam
paign by the radio could not be illus
trated more strikingly.
Suppose that you picked up your
newspaper and started to read front
page story of deep importance and sur
passing interest, and that just when you
got to the crux of the thing you en-
countered a little blackface note say
ing, eve shall be able to print no more
about this, because we have an adver-
tisement that has to be printed right
here"
Would you continue to rely. on your
newspaper to keep you posted on the
news of the day?
That never happens, of course A
newspaper that did things that way
would not last a month.
Try to follow campaign speech in
your newspaper and you get all of it,
presented so that you can take it in at
your own convenience Try to follow
it by the radio and you are apt to find
it interrupted by a discussion of the
merits of so-and-so's bed ticking.

Get Union Recognition,
Wage Increases

NEW YORK-The third victory
in the past month was scored by the
Italian section Of the Bakery Work
ers' Industrial Union when the S.
Romaniello French Bakery at 816
Eighth Avenue, was forced to sign
a contract with the union granting
union condition and the eight hour
day. Wage increases Of $12 week
for third bakers and IS a week for
second bakers were also won.
This victory was made possible as
a result of the 100 per cent organiza-
ton of the Romaniello workers.
which was accomplished in about
five weeks. This shop had long been
known as an open shop,
The boss signed the contract when
it was made clear that the workers
were ready to strike for their de-
mands. The Italian section of the
union, whose headquarters are at 1872
West 22nd St., points out that this
victory shows that demands can be
won during the crisis if the workers
are sufficiently well organized.

victory in its three weeks strike

job at 6lst st. and Tenth Ave.
Wages on the job were raised from

and As cents for barmen.

But, in addition to this, the newly

from this employer formal signed
contract for wages on future work
to be at the rate of rs cents per
hour for barmen and IS cents for
laborers. This is an unusually i'm
portant victory, won by struggle at
the time when leaders of Local 95 of

20-cent wage, and try energetically
to break the strikes led by the House
