prize money was diveded among
the officers and crew of the ga

All through the war the tender
was in service either in American
or Cuban waters and many were

During the fight the Mangrovc
was unchanged but had placed

from the Mangrove to the CUR

arrival found that hostilities had
ceased some time before, and the

Campaign In National Election
Shown To Be Unusually Quiet
Claimed Local Battles
Overshadow Activities
Dealing With General
Subjects
By BYRON PRICE

In It's broad national aspects.
the present political campaign
promises to rank among the quiet
est in recent times.
ID is difficult to recall when
there has been such an absence of
frontal attack on a major national
scale. so little hysterieaI activity
around national party headqusr-
tsrs. such seant attention to the
possible outcome sn the "amalf
talk" Of the capital.
OF course that is not true of
various local situations, which
abound in color and interest. In
fact some of the state campaigns
are so engaging that they far
overshadow the national campaign.
If political reports were writ
ten in the language of the market
reviews. the tempo of the nation
al political scene would have to
be described as dull" perhaps
even '.listleSs,
No National Issue
One reason is that seldom has
there been SO little dispute about
what the election returns will
show. nationally. Only a few re-
publicans deny. even when they
speak for publication. that heavy
democratic pluralities are in the
cards. With election day less than
> month away. it is the common
opinion of experienced politicians
in both parties that the democrats
will inerease-perhaps by half a
dozen Notes.-The majority of "a
they now have in the senate. and
will lose to the republicans some
where between 25 and so of their
present house majority of 100.
Another reason is that neither
side has been able to establish a
elear-cut issue. on a national
basis.
II il true that democratic lead
ers have offered, and the con-
stituted republican chieftains have
accepted. a gage OF battle on the
issue of the NEW deal" But that
statement is open to many quail
ficati0ns.
For one thing. there are many
on both sides who approve Of
parts OF the -new deal, and dis
approve Of other parts.
More important, however, is the
fact that many OF those running
on the "new deal" platform are
not really for it in their hearts,
while many who wear the repub-
lican label are against it only
alf-heartedly. if at all.
A Vote Of Confidence
In such a situation it is no won
der the campaign has failed to
stir up much cOordinated. in
spired crusading on either side.
Vet some really important things
may come out of this election.
The friends of Mr.. Roosevelt
expect the result to be such that
he can interpret it as a sweeping
vote of confidence mandate to
carry on. Certainly that would
forecast his denomination in 1886 /;
his continued control over con-
gress meantime; and probably a
strengthening, rather than a
tapering off. Of his present re-
eovery policies.

The Mangr0ve was the first yes
sci to enter the harbor of Ha-
vana after the explosion which re-
suited in the destruction of the
Maine. When the news was re-
ceived in Key West the tender left
for Havana shortly after 10
o'clock that night and arrived in
the harbor just at dawn.
Immediately she was pressed
into service as temporary
refuge for wounded sailors, and
came back to Key West with so

An increased police force to insure
more adequate protection and better
enforcement of existing regulations

Citizens Forum of Columbia Heights,

School.

Health and Safety Committee.
Reservations Backed.
The forum voted to back the fight
off in 1933-34 and for authorization Of
100 additional men.
A movement is now on foot, 1t was
pointed out, to take up the matter
with the District committees of the
House and Senate. A joint petition
will be sought toward this end.
Another resolution adopted urged
additional playground space and i'm
provements for Powell Junior High
School. The forum recommended
purchase of property directly west of
the school. running nearly to Six
teenth street, for a play area. A new
auditorium and lunch room are also
needed, members contended, pointing
out the present assembly room and
lunch room will accommodate but
one-third of the students.
Other resolutions Endorsed the pro-
posal to consolidate all public play

Fernald, chairman of the Education

adopted. 1t recommended Congress
be urged to increase the Community
Center appropriation to 100000 or
more. The Board Of Education sub
mitted an estimate of $4,000 as
basis for appropriation by Congress
for 1856.
With the understanding the Pub
lie Utilities Commission is now operat-
ing under a budget Of $4,000 a
year. the forum adopted resolution
recommended by the executive COM
mittee that the 1856 appropriation
be increased to $4,000. Copies of
the resolution were ordered sent the

Dissatisfaction was registered with
