DEMOCRATS CLAIM
M|CH|GAN'S VOTE
Party Leaders Tell Trend and
See 125,000 Majority in
North Carolina.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September pa DEM
ocratic victory in Michigan and a ma
jority of 125,000 for the Roosevelt Gar
ner ticket in North Carolina were pre-
dicted today by party leaders from those
States who conferred at Democratic
national headquarters.
1T is generally estimated by those IA
miliar with the situation that North
Carolina will give a majority of around
125.000 to the Democratic nominees, ("
said o. M. Null, retiring chairman of
the State Committee in North Carolina.
Confident of Michigan.
"To those not familiar with condi-
tions in Michigan" said Mrs. Agnes M.
Little, secretary of the Michigan State
Central Committee, 1T may sound alb
surd for me to claim that State for Gov.
Roosevelt, but honestly believe it will
go for him.
There are multiplying evidences of
the trend toward the Democratic ticket.
Republican leaders in Michigan are
quite visibly alarmed over the situation.
Sensing the political revolt among the
voters, numerous Republican candidates
for county Offices have filed their can
didacies on the Democratic ticket.
This year for the first time the DEM
orats have active organizations in every
county and in most counties there are
complete Democratic tickets. In every
County there are Democratic Candi-
dates.
Complete Organization.
I'm one county where there has been
no Democratic organization for more
than 25 years, there is now complete
working and militant organization and
complete Democratic ticket.
"Those who have counted Michigan
lost to the Democratic ticket would do
we'll to revise their estimates
The following speaking tour was an
nounced for Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross,
former Governor Of Wyoming and vice
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee:
September 29, Topeka and Manhat-
tan, Kans; September 80, lola and

crude It requires months for the scared
tissues to lose soreness And, of even
greater ultimate Importance, a running
horse that is fired almost always goes
back notch in class. II the horse was
a big-stake runner, it usually drops
back with the platerS: If platter, 1t be-

ers, incidentally, are unsound for the
show ring after firing, as their scars
are plainly visible.
The process of a diathermia Is not
complicated. An electrode is placed on
each side of the bowed joint in the leg
Current Is passed between the cleo
tendon of the leg. The current has
high voltage and low milliamperage
When 1t encounters the substance of the
leg which is a poor conductor Of cleo
tricity, heat is created.
Heat Does Not Burn.
This heat does not burn the tissues
1t is not painful The effect Is to draw
blood to the electrified area and thereby
stimulate healing activity. The wall OF
the ruptured tendon sheath builds up,
the fusion which made an ugly swell
ing on the leg dissolves. Outwardly
there are no visible marks left by dia-
thermia. And the inward impediments,
the impediments which will send the
best horse down the road to limbo,
will not result If the treatment is as
successful in horses as in men.
AS contrasted to the 10, IL or 16
months required to return a horse to
form after firing. the diathermia treat
ment should enable the animal to work
again after four to six months. Part
of that time is for active treatment
the remainder for rest and recondition-
ing. as is the case when the horse Is
fired
The horse under treatment here at
the Riding and Hunt Club is steeple-
chaser.

tiOnally. Had there been,
would not have done So"
Thus briefly did Lieut.. Col. U.
S. Grant, director Of Public Build
ings and Parks. defend the un-
usual economy move which went
into effect among building guards
on November /.
The economy plan, prepared
and ordered by Colonel Grant,
was designed to distribute as
equally as possible necessary sal
ary Slashes.
1t was based on the fact that
many building guards draw re-
tirement and pension pay in ad.
dition to their salaries as guards.
Those drawing more money from
the Federal Government received
larger pay cuts.
Leading the attack on Colonel
Grant by charging discrimina-
ton against war veterans is the
Federal Chapter Of Disabled Amer.
ican Veterans Of the World War.
The Colonel today declined to
discuss the situation further, how
ever. until he receives a reply to
an explanatory letter sent the

Crime Foe in Chicago Reveals
How Crooks Get Control

NeNa SerYiceN

CHICAGO, Nov. 3 Q.N.s.).
A picture of a city in which
several basic industries already
have become gangsterized was
painted today by a man whose
information is unimpeachable.
Many more lines of legitimate
endeavor in the city are threat
ened with similar domination by
underworld elements.
The city in question is Chicago
The mob which is stretching its
tentacles into the realm of the
honest, hard-working laborer and
businessman is comprised largely
of the Super-hoodlums now in the
custody Of the Chicago police.
OF the Is gangsters rounded up
in the last two days, the most i'm.
portant is Murray Humphries.
Rise Of Humphries
Four year ago Humphries was
a punk" in the AL Capone gang,
developing racketeering in the
cleaning and dyeing industry. To.
day, according to the Interna-
national News Service informant,
he is the head of Crime, Inc" 1"
Equipped with a college back
ground, he is one of the most
skillful organizers this city has
ever seen.
Humphries and his crew, which
includes "three-fingered jack
White, "Klondike" O'Donnell, and
other former big shots in the Ca
pone organization, at present are
in complete or partial control Of
the trucking, the coal, the clean
ing and dyeing, the linen sup
ply, and the bottled beverage
industries, the informant de-
clared.
TentacIes Spreading
In addition, he said, they are
making a strong bid for control
of the distribution Of milk and
allied products and exercise
indirect control over the laundry
business and over cert In
branches of kosher meats.
This informant said:
even before CapOne was sent
to prison, the depression cut
heavily into the syndicate prof
its from liquor, vice and gam
bling.
"After CapOne had entered
Atlanta and his mob became
known merely as the syndicate
the leaders remaining at liberty
definitely determined that they
would set out to dominate legiti.
mate business.
"The most vulnerable spot in
the business armOr is presented
by the unions. The Organiza-
ton work was executed very in
telligently, with the result that
the syndicate now has practical
ly all unions not affiliated with
the American Federation Of La
Dor.
"They also control some
unions of the International
Brotherhood Of Teamsters, which
is an affiliate of the A. F.
of L."

GIRL DEMOCRAT

Whatever may be the political
leanings of school officers at
Western High School, one thing
is certain-"campaign" speeches
there cannot be too strongly anti
administration.
Ask Frances Wheeler, 15-year-
old daughter of Senator Burton
K. Wheeler Of Montana, who was
forced to compromise with Off
GERS of the school on what she
had planned to say in a speech
she had prepared for the mock
campaign.
The young orator, in the orig.
inal draft Of her speech, charged
that millions of dollars had been
refunded to the Republicans from
the United States Treasury and
that much of this money was
used in the 1926 Republican cam
paign.
Such a speech was quite Gin
advisable" said Sue Gardner
teacher OF, public speaking and
chairman of the campaigns
speakers bureau" When Frances
showed the copy to DR.. E. S. New
ton, principal of the school, she
brought with her a Congressional
Record showing Democratic
speeches on the tax refund cases
and a compromise was the re
suit. She revised her speech and
agreed = to 1;cite her authorities
from the Record.
