QY what moral right does Senator
~ Borah malign Alfred E. Smith
when the latter chooses to make a
decided stand on the wet and drv
issue in the coming election? Al
smith is man enough to come clean
with the people, and, standing
Squarely on both his Irish feet de-
clare he is wet, and 81 made that
plank in the platform!"
Does Borah forget that he de-
cllned the leadership of the Prohi-
bition party, after leaders strenuous
ly had urged him to become head of
the ticket? Why did he refuse? Be-
cause he was fearful they could not
guarantee him enough political
background.
That's the kind of a dry he is-a
straddle dry. He did not want to
Jeopardize his political prestige. and
throw in as moral support, to the
Prohibition party, the weight and
leadership his name might have
offered.

pumpkin depression" in Knox
county threatens to seriously ciimp
Halloween festivities.
AS little folks besieged grocers for
pumpkins to make grinning jack-o-

supply was virtually exhausted.
They sent hurry orders to farmers,
but were told that it is lean year
for pumpkins.
There are hardly enough to
make a good punkin pie" one
farmer said.

I ASKED my grocer what he
u thought Of the outcome of the
election. He sidestepped the ques-
ton in an embarrassed way, but
finally said that he had been told
a few days ago that two Indian
apolis manufacturers had passed
the word to their employees that in
all probability they would be forced
to close their plants permanently
II Roosevelt was elected,
I asked the grocer if the plants
were in operation now, but he didn't
know. ! told him it was a 10 to |
bet that the plants wouldn't close
If Roosevelt was elected, but it
would be Divine justice if they did.
There is a whispering campaign
by INSCRIPTIONS Republican poll
ticians to undermine the already
broken morale of the workers by
threatening further Generalization
OF course, any thinking worker
knows conditions could not be any
worse as far as he is concerned.
Attempts of the Hoover politicians
to destroy the confidence of the
people in their government is little
short Of criminal. Workers, do not
be stampeded by this CHASTITY joke.
Vote these birds out of office!

Editor Times
A DAY or two ago an editorial
"A appeared in the Indianapolis
Star, under the caption THE Para
mount Issue" The article quoted a
man, apparently a satellite of Hoo
yer, who claimed that the greatest
calamity that could befall the
American people would be change
of administration right now
He went on to say that in the
event of Roosevelt's election, we
would be obliged to suffer for four
months from what he pleases to call.
"standstill government" Now I
would like to know just the kind of
government this country has been
having for the last four years? If it
has not been standstill government.
then pray, what has it been?
True, Hoover has appointed count
less commissions for the ayowed
purpose of alleviating one evil or
another, but just as soon as the
money allotted for the commission
was exhausted, it became defunct
II the long-suffering American
people can put up with such gov
eminent for forty months. then
surely they can stand four months
more OF the same, bad as it is.

PAT O'SHOCKER
 WHISTLES MAXOS
 IN ARENA TONlTE

New Haven, Aug. 29-All roads lead to the Arena here tonight where the indoor fall wrestling season is being ushered in by Matchmaker Jim Downing who has arranged one of the most action filled cards ever attempted in this section with the starting gong slated to ring. at 8:30.
 LOndos Coming
 Not only will state and local mat fans witness a ding dong battle bill, but they, will also share in se- lecting an opponent for World's Champion Jim Londos who has been signe dto defend his title in a match at the Arena on Monday night, September 12. To say that the battle of ballots will be a hot and heavy one would be putting it mildly.
 The card lined up by Downing for the opening of the mat season is without doubt one of the strong est possible to secure. Featured in the star finish match the fans will see in action Pat O'Shocker, of Salt Lake City, and John Maxos, of Greece, the latter a pupil of Lon- dos.' The supporting finish fray of the double windup program will bring together Rudy Dusek, of Omaha, and Jack Zarnas, young Detroit Greek.
 Stcinborn Returns
 AS a special time limit attrac- tion, Milo Steinborn, German strong man and hot local favorite, will tackle Gino Garibaldi, Italian sensation. Another promising time limit fray will bring together Abe Coleman, Hebrew Hercules from Kansas City, and Frank Bruno. wicz, Polish star. The opener will probably see Stanley Pulaski, of Fair Haven, pitted against Adam Horoschack, of Ansonia.
 From the loks of the above lay out it becomes evident that the win ner of the voting contest to meet Londos on September 18th will have to step high, wide and hand some to get the call against such high class opposition.

SAS~ k~SsSASAAs
 For glory of glories, the big West Side Stadium is on the eve of hous- ing a tournament which promises to ma ekmoney, heavy money. The mems national singles champion ship. It starts next Saturday, with one of the finest, if not the finest field in the history of the game in this country. Already the customers are buying tickets at a rate which would indicate that the horseshoe stands are in for their first sellout since well, we can't tell you since when. for our memory of things befort the Gettysburg is'hazy.
 Cochct Entered
 The big standout of the tourna- ment, even more so than our own Ellsworth Vines, is Henri Cochet, the doughty little Frenchman. It's the presence of Cochet that makes the tournament four-star special Instead of just three star. Several of our tennis-minded acquaint- ances have been so cynical as to suggest that it must have cost the U. s. l.. T. A. A. Q tidy sum to get Henri over here." We'll, we would not know about that, hut if they did pay him a tidy sum" it was plenty smart business. He will re- p..y teh association at the gate 8 hundred fold.
 Speaking of Cochet and the money he'll draw through the turn stiles, it would behoove those men of medicine who are making stu- dy of advanced misery, 1t causes and effects. to be on hand just in hssVas.AA f.ff tx. n,a of the early rounds. For if he does, the scene in the officials room will offer the medical men rare cases In the miseries, the moans, the fits, the tantrums, the weeping WiilieB and the 14 karat stomped down blues.
 And believe 1t or not. the mighty Frenchman stands a sweet chance of getting the works before, say. the quarter-finals. He wil. be pitted ngainst q field that includes few, If any, soft touches. He'll be playing on strange courts. before strange galleries. and with high pressure ball. The latter item, plus the light- ming fast playing surfaces of the Forest ttiila courts, will work aginst Cochet, it ig no secret that Henri, lacking speed and depending main. ly upon hts accuracy, needs . slow bounce Co boat his best. We'll, he won't get that in this tournament. Evreythins will be fast the players. the court and the bali and maybe. the exits.

 Ott Loses Game
 The Cubs continued their pen nant march yesterday by nosing out the New York Giants. for their 10th straight victory. Mel Ott gave the game to Chicago when he misjudged Herman's fly in the 9th. permitting Koenig to come home with the tying run. Then Ott threw wild to the catcher, letting Gudat in with the winning run.s
 Pittsburgh though Idle, replaced Brooklyn in second place when the Dodgers lost both ends of twin bill to the St Louis Cardinals, to 1 and to 4. The Cards tailed their four runs in the sixth inning to take the first game, and their 14-hit attack on Thomas and Heimach game them the nightcap.
 This double victory enabled the Cards to pass the idle Boston Braves and go into fourth place tie with the Phillies, who split q double header with the Cincinnati Reds. The Phils won the opened to |, after pitcher Roy Hansen drove in the winning tally with q single in the seventh. The Reds took the night cap 3 to 2, when Chick Hafey's single in the 8th brought in the winning run.
