"Chirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen


with US on Saturday, p. M, last Sat
urday evening. They had speaking,
some music and some people to hear
'em. They had a band wagon-the
truth of a band wagon; not one OF
the old kind, with men in 1t playing
horns and beating drums, but the
new fan-dangled contraptions where
the wagon itself blazed forth in trlum-
phant strains, and you couldn't see
where it was coming from at. 1t mad
a voice all its own and that also
was a mysterious emanation. 1t per-
sisted in telling you the meeting was
to be held at the corner OF Second
Street and Maple Alley and blest II
I don't believe some of the crowd
must have been down there; there
wasn't so many people where | was
at.
Well, they came, they saw, and
they went away again. They mad
some good speeches, tellin' US what
a mess these Democrats had made OF
all kinds of government, and what a
glorious day it would be when all
the ms were like the Republicans are
now. and vice-versa. They had some
real nice ladies with 'em who seemed
to enjoy the speeches. and gave the
orators liberal applause about all
that was given; but, | am nothing but
honest, not as much as they deserved
the speakin' was all right.
noticed Mr.. H. Webster Smith said
he had never received any education
other than that obtained from the
public schools. Of course. he wasn't
speakin' of his legal learning. He
went on to say that he was staunch
friend of the public schools, because
they had done so much for him.
Now, l don't know just how he
feels about it, but there is an inclin-
alton in some parts to decry the mod
ern educational "fads"; at least that ;
what some people call 'em. Those
who are opposed to said fads, are
of the opinion greater stress should
be laid upon the three RS"
should imagine he was one of 'em,
Judging from what he's going to do
with the school system, when he steps
into the gubernatorial chair-hold on
that's sort of a mixed metaphor,
isn't it? l mean when he seats HIM
self at Annapolis.
How-some-ever, l noticed that he
doesn't believe in two "R. s" not to
mention the third one. Because on
the side of the aforementioned band
wagon the word Governor" was spell
ed "G-o-v-e-n-o-r" opposite Mr..
Smiths name. That's doing plen-
ty with the readin', 'ritin', and 'rith-
metic, system, isn't it? cutting the
RS" down to one. Somebody said
that was a mistake of the sign paint
er; but l don't know; I'm going to
put it up to Mr.. Smith, and l have
just wee bit of an idea that the pub
lie schools didn't do as good a job
as he would have us believe.

MAYOR JACKSON
HAS WITHDRAWN
FROM CAMPAIGN
Decides To FOregO GubernatOr-
ial Aspirations, Leaving
Richie And COnley
HAS NOT EXPRESSED
HIMSELF AS TO FUTURE

The Maryland Democratic guber-
Material primary contest has now mar
rowed down to two candidates. Albert
G. Richie, the incumbent, and DR..
Charles H. Conley, of Frederick, May
or Jackson, of Baltimore, having for
mally withdrawn on Tuesday Of this
week.
In making his withdrawal, Mr.. Jack
son had the following to say:
After comforting with number of
my friends and supporters, | have de-
cided to withdraw as candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. At the time | announced my
candidacy, it seemed to be certain that
the Democratic party in the State was
ready to name new candidates for the
offices held for so long a period by
the same individuals, and / hoped to
have the opportunity to install in the
State Government those methods and
practices in public administration
which have been successful in the
management of the affairs of Balti-
more city.
Subsequently, Governor Richie be-
came candidate for rejection. l am
of the opinion that this circumstance
would not have prevented my nomi-
nation had not important support,
which l believed would come to me,
been diverted to another candidate,
who remained in the field for short
time and then retired to seek some
other office
1T has been found impossible to
bring these forces, once having been
scattered, together again in public
support of any one candidate. During
the period when attempts were made
to avoid the disastrous consequences
of too many candidates for the same
office, l was offered the place for
United States Senator on the ticket
of every other candidate, but | re-
jected all such offers because l would
not bargain away my support for
Governor in return for any other Of
flee, or for the nomination for any
other office.
If l had obtained the help neces-
sary to make an effective primary
campaign, l could have carried on the
contest without any prolonged absence
from my duties as Mayor of Balti-
more, but contest, under existing
circumstances, against the power of
the State organization would be, in my
judgment, not only futile, but would
take more time from the ever pressing
municipal problems than feel have
a right to give.
Il am and shall ever be grateful to
those people in Baltimore city and all
over the State of Maryland who were
ready and willing to follow me in the
contest. hoping, with me, merely for
the opportunity to achieve some things
of benefit to the State"
DR.. Conley is not given much of
chance to win over Governor Richie,
but he is sticking to the job, and if
nothing else, he is getting experience.
Governor Richie has not yet returned
from his European trip where he
went to recuperate physically What
reports have come from him, seem to
be favorable. He is slated to return
about the first of September.

HUNGER IS SEEN
/ THREAT TO HITLER
Richmond Publisher De-
scribes Conditions in Ger.
many "DepIorable.'
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 16.-Reporting
economic conditions in Germany as
"deplorable in the extreme" Johr
Stewart Bryan, publisher of the
Richmond (Va) News-Leader yester-
day predicted that in the next few
months hunger would prove greater
threat to Hitler's power than any po-
iitical opposition he has faced.
Mr.. Bryan returned on the S. S
Majestic from a months vacation
spent in Europe with members of his
family.
The Germans are in for Winter
of privation and suffering such as
that country has not known in mod
ern times" he said, and Hitler is
not going to be able to do anything
about it. Indeed, his antagonism OF
foreign nations is partly responsible
for the collapse of the country's for
eign trade which brought about the
present state of affairs.
! Hunger is powerful incentive
The Germans have the reputation OF
being docile people, who like to be
told what to do. But it is hard to
make a hungry man take orders
particularly if he thinks those giving
the orders are responsible for his
condition. I expect to see the Naz
regime shaken to its foundations. The
signs are unmistakable.
Speaking of the recent blood
purge" of the Nazi party by Hitler
Bryan asserted that "the cult of VIC.
lence is not going to save the world
THE Germans themselves are be-
ginning to be ashamed of the things
their leaders have DONE" he said.
Accompanying Mr.. Bryan were his
sons, John S., jr., and Tenant Bryan
the latter's wife; and his daughter
and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. R. Kiett
Kane.

Aimee Semple Mcpherson, interna-
tiorally known evangelist was
charged in open court today with
having been involved in scam
DALI with Cromwell Ormsby, for
merly her attorney.
+ The accusation was made by
Homer Johnson, an attorney repre-
senting the estate of the late j..
Roy Stewart, director and writer.
Mrs Mcpherson assertedly preached
a motion picture contract with
Stewart.
Ormsby was sentenced to San
Quentin in July, 1880, on a bribery
charge tried in Alameda county.
johnson said that Mrs. McPher-
son asserted she had not gone
through with the motion picture
contract because the scenario was
not ready at the time she was pre-
pared to go ahead with the filmit;g
Johnson alleged that such a
statement was untrue and that, "a
matter of fact, she had refused
to go through with the filming Of
he picture becs use she was threat

damages for his client.
1--WE will prove" Johnson said,
that Mrs. Mcpherson referred rcr-
lesentatives of Mr. Stewart to At
otrney Joseph Ford, who was then
her counsel. We will further prove
that Mr.. Ford told them that it
was not Mr.. Stewards fault that
Mrs. Mcpherson was not gong
through with the film but that it
was because she became involved
in a scandal with Cromwell Ormsby
WHO previously represented her"
Attorney Ford said" johnson
proceeded, that the Rev. Goben,
assistant pastor at Angelus temple,
had threatened Mrs. Mcpherson
and had presented affidavits that
she and Ormsby had occupied a

unGer circumstances which made
it necessary for her to withdraw
from the film contract

concerned an allegation she "oCcu-
pied a bungalow with Ormsby at

DRUNK DELAYS
CRACK TRAIN

- ~LiOT-ANGELES, Jan. 90. (U.P) -
An unidentified man who inspired
by distilled spirits lay in the tracks
until the train screeched to a stop,
caused the Southern Pacific Lark
to reach San Francisco late, to-
day.
The north-bound flyer scarcely
had left the local passenger sta
ton when the engineer espied the
drunken man lying in the tracks
on a bridge Shrek after Shrek
of the whistle failed to move him
SO the engineer applied the emer-
gency brakes. Passengers were
hurled forward as the train came
to a halt with such force that a
drawbar on pullman car snapped,
breaking the train in two.
Not until then did the giddy in
ebriate rise to his feet and amble
off before the train crew could
seize him. The flyer was delayed
two hours before the drawbar was
replaced.

SHARP QUAKE
VISITS MEXICO

ACAPULCO, Mex, Jan. 20. U.H
Nearly all cities of southwest
Mexico from Acapulco to Vera
Cruz were shaken by a series OF
terrific earth shocks which began
yesterday and continued until to-
day
Ninety per cent of the buildings
in this seaport, popular with Amer
ican tourists, were damaged by the
succession of temblors. The none
tary loss will run into hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
More than 20 persons were in
jured in Iguala, in the state OF
Guerrero. A number were injured
in Acapulco. Terror increased at
nightfall when, with the subter-
ranean rumblings continuing, the
city was thrown into darkness by
a shutdown of power. The elec-
trio company ordered the electricity
turned off, fearing conflagation.
The earthquake was the most
severe since 1909.
Il was feared that mining will
ages near Iguala may have suf-
fered extensively, and the author
tiles were attempting to reach
them today.
At Vera Cruz the shocks were
severe enough to alarm the popu-
lation. but no serious damage was
done.

HOUSE AGREES
To REv|S|ONS
IN GOLD BILL
Approves Changes Without Any
Dissent Putting Measure Up
To President.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. U.Pe
The house accepted senate changes
in the Roosevelt gold bill today,
thus completing congressional act
ion on the momentcus monetary
measure.
Only the signatures of Speaker
Rainey and Vice President Garner
were needed before the sweeping
monetary bill is sent to the White
House for the Presidents signature.
Action came in the house today
when the bill was called up under
unanimous consent request, with
out dissenting voice to its i'm
mediate consideration.
The bill was approved without a
record vote after a few minutes
of discussion of what the senate
amendments were.
The principal change in the bill
made in the senate was three
year limitation on stabilization fund
operations. Speaker Rainey said the
senate changes were acceptable to
President Roosevelt.
Chairman Somers of the COIN
age committee at the request of
Rep. McFadden, Repn., Pa, op-
,, ponent of the bill, sought to ex-
plain the changes made in the 9TH
er chamber. When SomerS had
completed his explanation, McFad-
den said.
The explanations are as clear
as mud"
The bill in revised form was ap-
proved unanimously, not voice
being raised as the speaker said
without objection the senate
amendments are agreed to-"
The house took it's action on
the sweeping monetary bill as a
matter of course. Members chatted
as the clerk read in the senate
changes. One Democratic congress-
man handed out large red car
nations to a few of the party
leaders.
Had a single member raised his
voice against consideration today
the house under its rules would
have had to delay final passage
until tomorrow.
However, due to the fact the
senate was not meeting today, the
bill cannot be sent to the White
House until tomorrow, as Vice
President Garners signature must
be placed on the engrossed copy
when the senate is in session.
