prominently displayed above the
speakers stand, an enthusiastic
crowd of $4,000 persons damned
civic auditorium here yesterday to
launch new drive to obtain par
don for Tom Mooney, serving a
life sentence for the 1916 San Fran
cisco preparedness day bombing.
Roughly dressed workmen and
studious appearing men joined in
chanting free Tom Mooney" in
thunderous chorus, stamping their
feet in accompaniment. There was
the frenzy of college student foot
ball rally.
1t was the first time the hammer
and sickle of Soviet RusSie had been
displayed in San Francisco. AS the
huge throng sighted the banner
they began singing the "Interna-
tionale," Communist anthem.
The meeting was swept from CHI
max to climax as Theodore Dresser,
noted novelist, and Lincoln Stet-
fens, famous liberal writer, spoke.
Dresser conducted the questioning
of Paul Callicotte, eccentric Port
land, Ore, mountain guide, who
claimed that he, and not Mooney,
planted the Preparedness Day bomb
that killed 10 persons.
Callicotte, whose story police
termed rubbish" came here at his
own volition.

ROOSEVELT s
BATTLE OVER
Democratic Candidate Con-
cludes Hard Campaign By
Visiting Neighbors.
BY FREDERICK A. STORM


HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. T.
Gov. Franklin d. Roosevelt held to
the political traditions o. the past
/ 20 years df his career today, when
he devoted his waning hours to
rallying his neighbors to the sup
port Of the Democratic party.
In contrast to the strenuous
weeks of campaigning, the COVER
nor planned a trip of 100 miles
through the Hudson river valley
country, with brief addresses at
Beacon, Newburgh, Kingston and
Rhineback. He will conclude the
days events with a night address
to the voters of Poughkeepsie, in
Duchess county.
The final utterance of Roose-
| velt's three months battle for the
presidency-a battle that has taken
him nearly 10000 miles and into
| 81 states of the nation-was eX-
pected to be an appeal to citizens
| to exercise their franchise at the
polls tomorrow.
With only few hours to go be-
fore the voters begin their march
| to the election booths, the COVER
nor gave evidence of the super
stitious regard he holds for his bat
tered grey felt campaign hat, one
he has worn in bitterly fought
state contests and almost daily
since his nomination for the pres
idency.
Mac" he told his Hyde Park
butler, put this in the safe"
Rooevelt spent most of the morn
ing at work on the text OF the
Poughkeepsie speech.
He revealed he planned to cast
his ballot sometime before 3 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon at Hyde Park,
and then motor to Democratic ma
tional headquarters in the Hotel
Biltmore, New York City, where
he will await the returns.
Imperial Valley press., 1932-11-07

On the eve of election The Press again
endorses all Republican candidates, urg-
ing support for them by every register
ed Republican and by those who cannot
accept the wild claims, vague promises
and evasive answers of the Democratic
national leaders.
The Press believes that the country
will best be served by continuing Presi-
dent Hoover in office, thereby permit
ting him to carry out to a successful
conclusion, the work of rehabilitation
which has made such admirable progress
in recent months. The foundation for
ultimate success in this work has been
carefully laid and a change in admins
tration at this time would not only jeop-
ardize what has already been accom-
plished but would, in all probability, de-
lay the ultimate return of economic
prosperity.
AS the two officials are elected to-
gether, this endorsement of the Presi-
dent, also stands for Vice President
Curtis.
For United States Senator - Again
we endorse Tallant Tubbs, the Repub-
lican candidate He is a native Califor-
man. vitality interested in the progress
not likely to be swayed in favor of other
interests to the jeopardy of California
as past performances give reason to be-
lieve would be the case were his
Democratic opponent = William Gibbs
McAdoo-chosen. Tallant Tubbs has
proved in the primary and prediction
campaigns that he has the courage of his
convictions and can be depended upon
tO mean what he saws
For COngressman-We again endorse
George Burnham as being unquestion-
ably the most desirable man to fill the
office which Phil D. Swing relinquishes.
Topping a record of success in business
and in civic service, Burnham stands out
as the type of man badly needed in Am
erican politics. He is fully acquainted
with the joint requirements of San Dl-
ego and Imperial counties, embracing
the twentieth congressional district, and
his presence at Washington will mean
adequate protection for the interests of
the industries in the two counties. In

TWO MILLION
STATE VOTES
Huge Army OF Californians
Will March To Polls For To-
morrow's Election.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 7. U.P)-
An army of more than two mil
lion voters in California will march
to the polls tomorrow to decide
which of the candidates for pres
ident shall receive the states %
votes in the electoral college.
Beside voting for a president,
Californians will also elect Unit
ed States senate, 20 representatives
in congress, 20 state senators, 80
assemblymen, and pass judgment
upon 20 propositions on the state
wide ballot.
Nationwide attention has been
focused on the Golden States cleo
ton this year because President
Hoover, an adopted son, has re-
ceived the opposition of Senator
Hiram w. Johnson, native son and
former governor of the state.
johnson has become one of the
principal critics of the President
and champion of his opponent,
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Determined that the state shall
not repeat its performance of
1916, President Hoover himself
was speeding to his home in Palo
Alto, to spend election day and
cast his vote in California.
The second major battle in the
election, insofar as California is
concerned, is a three cornered af-
fair, for the post of United States
senator. The candidates are Tai
liant Tubbs, San Francisco, a mill
tant wet; William Gibbs McAdoo
Los Angeles, a resubmission wet
and the Rev. Robert P. Shuler, Los
Angeles, bone dry.
Tubbs was aided in the final
week of his campaign by the vet
eran Senator Samuel M. Short
ridge, whom he defeated for the
Republican nomination at the state
primaries. Shortridge endorsed the
candidacy of Tubbs.
McAdoo forces, using as their
motto, democratic President
Democratic Senator" stressed the
long experience of the former Sec
rotary of the treasury in national
politics.
Shuler aimed his campaign
largely at William Randolph
Hearts, newspaper publisher, whom
he charged with trying to get con-
troll of California politics. He also
labeled Hearst as the real backei
of McAdoo.

NEW TRIALS
FOR NEGROES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. U.H-
New trials for the seven Negro
youths sentenced to death in the
Scottsboro assault cases were
granted today by the United States
supreme court.
The decision was read in the
dignified quiet of the supreme
court chamber after a series of
disturbances in the capitol plaza
outside had resulted in injury to
four police officers and the ar
rest of IL men and women who
had demonstrated on behalf of
the Scottsboro defendants.
The Negroes were arrested on
the complaint of a group of white
boys who said they had been
elected from a freight train on
which they were hoboing their
way. The Negroes were taken
from the train at Painted Rock,
Ala. Two white girls found on
the train later testified that each
had been assaulted by six Negroes.

HITLER LOSES
NEW ELECTION
BY ERIC KEYSER
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Nov. 7. Germany
emerged from its general election
today with the dictatorship" cab
met of Chancellor Franz Won Pa
pen still in power, but far short of
any parliamentary majority.
The minority supporting Won
Papen waned fractionally in the
election. The Fascist party of
Adolph Hitler lost some strength,
and the Communists gained.
Otherwise, the anomalous politi-
cal situation under which the con-
sentative Won Papen government
rules over the voice of defiant
but shackled reichstag remained
almost unchanged. 1t was in ev-
cry way a deadlock, and the coun-
try awaited an even more embit-
tered struggle between Won Papen
and Hitler for power.
Germany voted overwhelmingly
against the Won Papen govern
ment, despite its minor gain. The
Hitlerites. although they lost 35
seats in parliament, actually fell
only four per cent behind their
vote in the total poll throughout
the country, compared to the result
of last July's election.
The polling nevertheless con-
firmed the belief that Hitlerism
had begun to recede from its SEN
sational two year clinch, culminat-
ing in the peak of last July, when
his followers had 3703 per cent of
the total vote, compared to ap-
proximately 1872 yesterday. Hitler
therefore appeared to have reached
the point for a showdown. Since
he cannot expect further parlia-
mentary gains in the near future,
his supporters looked for him to
give a final warning to Won Papen
to stand aside and let the strong
est party rule.
