Nov. now" said the ventriloquist,
didn't you know Mr.. Overstreet is a
former policeman and q candidate for
President?"
YEAH" chirped the dummy, "but
can President fix parkin' ticket?'
Overstreet occupied the seat OF
honor on the raised platform through
out the entertainment, which included
harmonica band number by q score
of small boys.
Before the entertainment, however
the candidate obligingly posed fol-
news photographers in several atti-
tudes.
Wear your Legion cap" demanded
the photographers.
Overstreet was willing to oblige, but
had left his cap at home.
rIll lend you mine." said a fellow
Legionnaire IF you'll make me Sec
rotary of War" But the ambitious
veterans cap was too small for Over
streets head.
Overstreet was introduced by Mack
Clark, who said:
"Our comrade here wishes to ad-
dress you on a subject he will explain
He recently was dramatized on the
March of Time radio program. He
has just made a radio speech and has
appeared much in the newspapers.
Some Of you may scott, but think
none of you can question his sincerity
and I'm certain none of you will ques.
ton his courage"
Overstreet began by detailing the
financial transactions OF the United
States before, during and after the
World War He then explained the
situation. He said he was in favor
of the administrator efforts to ''keeI
the poor" but he came out fiat-footeo
against Federal debt and increased
taxes.
Overstreet hurled unemployment
figures and Treasury statistics at the
audience of several hundred until II
got a little dizzy, and then, by way Of
relieving the tension, declared:
II don't ask your support as an or
ganization. I ask Legionnaires to sup.
port me as individuals. don't believe
there's a man here who disagrees with
me. So let me say, hope you listened
carefully to my PLATFORM don't want

Former Policeman Howard Michael
Overstreet. who recently resigned from
the force to run for President, made
his first campaign speech last night to
an accompaniment of much applause
and a few wise-cracks from a yodeler
and ventriloquist's dummy.
The applause came from the ex-
policemans comrades" Of Vincent B.
Costello Post, American Legion. A
yodeler and a ventriloquist act also
were included on the program. The
yodeler dedicated his first song to the
future President" This selection be-

pleasant neighborhoods crowded.
Offhand, I think of but one city
whose ruling citizens mainly are con-
tent with things as they are-the
lovely and fascinating city Of Charles
ton. Elsewhere we appear to share
with the red ants the mad passion
to take on additional red ants until
the anthill overflows and all the old
resident ants are lost in the shuttle.
But here's community which has no
yearning to expand by absorbing large
numbers of miscellaneous strangers
who may not fit into the local picture.
Can 1t be that what the average
close-packed human hive needs is
fewer booster clubs and more exits?

of testimony given by an appraiser,
Victor A. Dorsey of Chicago, the COM
mittee charged that utility firms are
in the habit Of initiating their CAPT.

charging higher rates for power.
This imitation of capitalization, 1t

they ever done So"
"Mr. Dorsey's quoted statements are

which he signed in 1920. He has now
taken an entirely different position
