R l. VOTE DOESN'T
TELL STORY

The big switch Of votes from
the Democratic to the Republican
side, in the election of a Congress
man was rightly seen as a signifi-
cant portent in Washington. But
it did not prove that the voters
are piEing for a return of the do
nothing toryism of Mr.. Hoover,
to rugged individualism or to a big
business regime a la Mellon. ra-
ther than la Baruch. 1t didn't
prove any more than the sight
of dashing cavalier leaving Hob
sons stables on an old gray mare
proved that his choice in horse
flesh was age and steadiness.
Republican politicians chOrtIing
in their dewlaps, care little what
the voters might have trOtted out
if they had had their run of the
stables. They feel that their own
political judgment-and mental Ia
zIness-have been indicated.
They have been told that the re-
publican platform would have ia
be revamped, even made to appear
progressive, to win back business
from the Democrats. But they just
sat back in their swivel chairs anC
said. ''When the voters get DISCUS
ted with ROOsevelt's New Deal
thew will just have to come ant
take what we've got. whatever we

MOVIE CAMERA TO KEEP
AUTO SPEED RECORDS

London, Aug II. = A small automatic
movie camera will be installed in the cock
pit of Sir Malcolm CampbelPs Bluebird
when the British speed king attempts to
drive his racer 800 miles per hour on the
plains of Utah next month.
The camera will make continuous re-
cord of the instrument readings while the
great car thunders over the course and
movie audiences probably will have the OPP
portunity of seeing pictures of the instru-
ments as they register five miles minute
for the Bluebird.
The camera not only will afford an au-
thentic record of the revolutions attained,
but will permit Sir Malcolm to keep his
eyes off the instruments and concentrate
on driving.

SELF EXECUTION TRIED OUT
IN ESTHONIA-IT WORKS

Reval, Esthonia, Aug. &c. = Paul Voig-
emast, condemned murderer, stoically lift
ed "hemlock cup" of deadly poison to his
lips today and fell dead, his own official ex-
ecutioner on behalf of the state.
1t was the first legal self-execution in
modern history, under Esthonia's new law
giving a condemned man the choice of be-
ing hanged or killing himself with poison.
In the grim military prison of Reval,
Voigemast was led into the death chamber.
Prison officials and the prison doctor stood
silently by.
The murderer was handed the poison
cup containing potassium cyanide a poi
son so leadly that in its pure form drop
on the tongue kills almost like stroke of
lightning, paralyzing the heart instantly.
Voigemast's hands did not even tremble
as he took the cup. He did not hesitate, but
raised it to his lips and gulped it down.
With long shuddering intake of breath,
he was dead.

of whom have 200 or more jumps to their
credit. 1t is only three days ago since a new

HAD ONLY
HOBSON'S CHOICE

Textile workers formed a large
part of the electorate where the
switch In votes occurred. The AAA
processing tax was responsible for
much of the troubles, their bos-
ses told them. Rising living costs
and stationary wages were an
other grievance that could be trac-
ed to the administrations infa-
tionary policies. Roosevelt's veto of
the bonus was another important
issue. And when the textile work
ers went on strike last year, Dem
Ocratic Governor Green had them
gassed and shot down by the Nat.
Guard. and almost brought in the
federal troops against them.
So, taking advantage of the
HObsOn's choice offered by the
Rep-Dem two-party system, they
went to the polls and voted for
the party of Hoover, who also We
tGed the bOnus-and sent federal
troops against the bonus army in
to the bargain. In place of the
short time caused by the process
sing tax, they voted for the party
of unemployment without any
trimmings. Sick of the indirect
wage cuttings of imitation and in
creased living costs, they voted for
the party which made dehatiOn
and direct wage cuts famous. Re-
sentful at Democratic gas bombs
and machine cunning, they voted
that Republicans give the order to
to fire.

Wings
OVER
washingt'n

One of a number of lessons to
be drawn from the Rhode Island
election results is that politics in
America are still in the horse-and-
buggy stage.
The first man to let out horses
for hire in England, in the six-
teenth century, is supposed tn
have been a certain Tobias Hob
son. This enterprising man had
system for dealing with his GUS
toners which is almost identical
with the political system in vogue
In this country today for dealing
with voters.
When a man came to Mr.. Hob,
son for a horse, he probably felt
as chOOsy as an American voter
has a right to feel about the party
and politicians he is going to hire
on election day. He may have wan
ted fast stopper or a slow STEADY
nag; he may have had ideals
about its color, size, and disDosi-
tiOn. He could think which of all
the horses in the stable would
suit him the best. But when Il
came to the actual hiring. he
might just as well stop thinking
for HObsOn gave him only ONE
choice to take the horse that was
nearest to the stable door
"FrOm whence" says the old En-.
plish paper which relates the story
1T becomes a proverb when what
ought to be your election was for,
ced upon you to say, 'Hobson':
