Behind the chaos that is Califor-

l. The peculiar ineptitude of both
Of the old parties leaders. The G..

that of Senator McAdOo in failing

who all too easily were piped to the
doctrines of Sinclair.
Today. in spite of a huge Sim
clair mass meeting of more than
10000 in San Francisco last night,
sentiment seemed to continue
swinging toward Merriam. The re-
fusal OF President Roosevelt to take
sides and the belief that the in
dorsement of Sinclair by Postmas-
General Farley was due to an
office slipup lend color to the belief
that the Sinclair hopes for admin
istration support have ended in
final rebuff.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26-Legislators
Of forty-three states are going to
find themselves in January between
the horns of the most vicious sort Of
dilemma. In every one of the
states where the lawmakers meet
in that month there are clamors
for:
l. Increased relief budgets.
2. Decreased taxes.
Legislative leaders of the affected
states said unanimously in a poll
conducted by the American Legisla-
tors Association that no problem
of greater import will come before
their bodies.
Home rule and county reorgani-
cation will receive attention in sew
eral states, prohibition laws will be
revised extensively and regulations
of business are being advocated by
the dozen, but relief and taxation
are the rock on which parties may
split.
Lieutenant governors and speak
ers polled said that shrinkage of
local community funds still is
throwing an increasing relief burden
on state treasures.
The men who must find the
money are turning principally to
sales taxes, income taxes and diver

 school athletes have collected ESQ., 871.50 during the last four years. The money originated from an insurance fund established under a plan fostered by the Wisconsin Interscholastic athletic association. It was the first plan of it's kind in the nation.

 One possibility is that when the noses of the Republican Senate survivors are counted, it will be found that the old guard no longer can outvote the sons of the wild jackass' in party caucus. And that would mean an entirely different kind of republican party hereafter on Capitol Hill. e1
