added to the fire department and will

SEN.REED CALLS
DRY LEAGUE
ARACKET

NEWARK, N. j.. Oct. 4 (U.S0.
In a blistering address devoted
entirely to prohibition, former
Senator James A. Reed last night
branded the Anti-Saloon League a
racket" and called upon the elec-
torate, regardless Of party, to eek
punge the CHASTITY mistake Of the
Eighteenth Amendment"
He spoke before a crowd of en-
thusiaStic thousands at a Demo
cratic mass-meeting in Kreuger'S
Auditorium, in Newark. The
speech was broadcast through the
Atlantic seaboard by N.B.C. and
WOR.
Reed contrasted the prohibition
planks of the two parties, saying:
"The platforms are as far
apart as the shores Of the At
lantic. In q single word, the
Republican platform proposes
to perpetuate national prOhibi.
tiOn and make it worse than 1t
now is. The Democratic plat
form proposes to get rid Of ma
tiOnal prohibition"
He described the G. o. P. plank
as written to cajole the drys and
bunco the wets," adding:
"This miraculous creature can
be ridden double and at the
same moment of time bear Cur
tis toward the dry plains Of
Kansas and carry Hoover to
the doors Of Melons distiiIery."
The Republican plank, he went
on, makes absolutely necessary the
maintenance of the prohibition
department, with all it's machin-
cry, explaining that "the Govern
ment must guard the dry States
against the importation of liquor"

Customer Cusses
Dear Mr.. BigeIOw:

Dear Mr.. BigelOw:
I wonder if you will allow me
space in which to boil over a
bit and blow off some surplus
steam about the NaVy-WJSV
controversy.
It seems that the Navy Off
cials, after sleeping peacefully
while Columbia was building a
fine new station, so that Wash
ingtOn may have a real radio
station nearby, have discovered
the new tranSmitter. is going to
interfere with their tranSmitter,
NAA. .: 81. 3" "a. 49,.
Two things occur to me in
this connection. First, it. seems
that the Navy was long in find
ing out that this interference
is to result from operation of
the new station, and second
as far as the general public is
concerned it would be Of little
nnOment If NAA were closed for
ever. ..-..,
1t is typical OF Government
red tape to permit Columbia to
spend large sums and much
time in building a station and
then complain. If the Navy
wanted to protest why did it
not do SO. I'M q. reasonable time?
As to the, usefulness of NAA,
I know nothing of its uses ex-
UerimeutalIy, but it. seems to
me that, the Navy would do well
to get some Of the "birdieS"
and other squawkS and .Squeaks
ont of the old mill before yell
ing about other interference.
when the weather report is
broadcast oyer NAA the voice
Of the announcer is distorted
until he, sounds like robot.
When q concert from the Pan
American Union was sent out
over the Navy station the other
night the whistle on the line
ruined the excellent music.
In addition, when, NAA is Op-
Grating it.. is impossible to. re-
Ceive ~WLW in Cincinnati, which
ordinarily comes, in clearly
here. SO IT, seems that the in
ferference is all on the Nays
mart. Besides, with NAA Op-
Grating at about 72O kilOcycles
and WJSV at 1850, there should
be NO interference If the Navy
engineers know anything about
screening.
So, Mr. BigelOw, more power
TO WJSV and here's one who
hopes Columbia will win. out,
keep their new station and beat
Government red tape, meddle-
sOmeneSS and interference.

Lives To Be 116
On Diet OF Eggs

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. IL.
U.P)-Mrs. Dora Meyer, believed to
be the oldest woman in New Jersey
and among the oldest in the coun-
try, died last night at the age
of 116.
Her death was reported by po-
lice to be due to natural causes"
presumably a weakened heart. and
other effects of her great age. A
son, John, 80, the only survivor of
IL children, found Mrs. Meyer dead
in bed, became hysterical, and was
removed to hospital.
Mrs. Meyer came here from Ham
burg in 1881. Shortly afterwards
she was married and settled in New
Jersey. Her husband left home to
Join the Union army in the Civil
war. He was killed in action.
The aged woman, who had out
lived three husbands and all save
one of her children, had attributed
her longevity to the fact that she
ate a dozen eggs each day, pro-
viding her finances permitted,

POLITICAL CAMPAIGN WARNS UP
AS MAINE VOTERS GO TO POLLS

licans had a majority of $1,000 for
governor and 10000 for Coolidge
two months later. In the Septem-
ber election of 1924 the Democratic
candidate for governor received
100000 votes. The Democratic can
didate for senator received $1,000
votes. Two months later John w.
Davis, the Democratic candidate
for president, received $4,000 votes,
the Republicans taking $4,000 ma
jority.
With such fluctuations party
managers have no accurate STAN
dards by which to judge today'S re-
suits so that both sides will be able
to point with pride whatever hap
pens.
This week sees the beginning of
the intensive stage of the presiden-
tial campaign. Governor Roosevelt's
departure for the west and the en-
gagements of numerous lesser
speakers are turning loose upon the
ears of the voters a heavy barrage
of oratory.
Yet there are many who believe
figures on the financial pages OF
the newspapers may play an i'm
portant part in influencing the
electorate. Business charts show
slight upturn, commodity prices
have been moving upward for two
months, movements of miscellan-
eous freight has increased and for
the first time in nearly year and
half untitled orders OF The Unit
ed States Steel corporation have
increased slightly.
Though the Republican national
committee is continuing to book
its best speakers, including Mrs
Dolly Gam, it is placing its real
hope in such figures as these which
have shown in the weekend fin
ancial reports.

seeing him here after his disap-
pearance was pressed today with
little encouragement.
Federal operatives, the Chicago
Secret Six" and friends of the
welfare worker who fear he may
have fallen prey to an amnesia at
tack, roamed through his old Chi
cago haunts but found no clues.
DR.. Daniel A. Polling head of the
allied forces of prohibition arrived
today from Portland, Ore, where
he halted a speaking tour to aid
the search for his friend and asso-
ciate.
He planned to confer with feder-
al and local officers regarding the
disappearance today.
st am hopeful that Colonel
Robins is merely an amnesia VIC
tim," said Polling, "but think there
Is danger he had been abducted
by Florida rum runners. I have
no information of Importance but
wish to give any aid to the search
I can"
Polling said he was doubtful of
the reports of friends of the miss
ing man who said they saw him
here just prior to the revelation of
his disappearance.
In the background was the be-
lief of Mrs. Robins and held by sew
eral of Robins associates that he
may have been kidnapped or slain
by bootleggers in reprisal for his
vigorous dry activity.
