BOSTON RALLY
STUNNED BY
DEMOCRATS

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 5.-Regu-
lar Democratic candidates in Mas
sachuSetts, with AL Smiths charge
that the Roosevelt administration
was no longer Democratic still
ringing in their ears, today were
side7Stepping the first big RooSe-
welt rally in Boston scheduled for
tomorrow night at fremont
Temple.
Star speakers announced are
Fiorella H. LaGuardia, the Social
ist-Republican mayor of New York;
David Dubinsky, the Communist
supporter chosen as a Roosevelt
elector in New York; Sidney Hill
man, former Socialist Of New
York, and Governor James M.
Curley, Democratic nominee for
the United States Senate.
Has Another Date
But today Governor Curley said
that he did not plan to attend the
meeting and that he would be
speaking in another part Of the
State Tuesday night"
AS q marked contrast to the
great Democratic opening rally of
four years ago when Al Smith
drew record crowd to the Boston
arena to hear a speech credited
by Roosevelt managers with swing
ing the State for Roosevelt, and
at which every Democratic State
leader spoke, this meeting will not
be addressed by a single Demo-
cratic candidate.
Democratic leaders today were
unanimous in pleading previous
engagements" when it was an
nounced the chief speeches were
to be made by Mayor LaGuardia,
OF whom Al Smith said, IF he's
a Democrat I'm a Chinaman with
haircut" and DubinSky, the
radical labor leader, who con-
tributed $4,000 to the Spanish
reds.
Leaders Were Speakers
At the opening rally four years
ago, the chief speakers were
Smith, United States Senator
David I. Walsh, United States
Senator Marcus A. Coolidge, Gov
ernor Joseph B. Ely, James M.
Curley, then mayor of Boston,
Representative John w. McCor-
mack and other members of the
Democratic congressional delega-
ton.
One high Democratic State Of
ficial tonight recalled the words
Of Al Smith in publicly endorsing
Alfred M. Landon for President
when the famous New York Dem
ocrat said:
"This is not a Democratic
administration. Men of the Op-
pOsite political faith, because
they put the stamp of approval
upon the New Deal, receive the
strength and power of the So
called DemOcratim adminiStra-
ton. Why, even a Communist
with wire whiSkerS and a torch
in his hands is welcome, so
long as he signs on the dotted
line"

Detroit is a city that attracts a
lot of visitors, 50 that it didn't
excite much comment recently
when a plane-load of leading
stylists from New York landed
at a Detroit airport. 1t was just
assumed they had come to see
some of the new 1887 cars. Sur
prise came when the plane loaded
up on gas and took off without
getting the visitors any nearer a
Detroit automobile plant than
the landing field. 1t turned out
that the stylists had seen all they
needed to see to learn about 1887
auto patterns. They were on
their way back East from Flint,

women. The seats were in different
parts of the house but Eric's was right
on the aisle of the fourteenth row,
about in the center of the theater.
As the show opened, it was evident
that the audiences worst expectations
were to be more than realized.
Along toward the middle of the
last half. man in salt-and-pepper
suit - you've guessed it - stood up
in his place, and shouted stridently:
II protest against this outrage. 1t
is against every law Of decency. 1t is
crime against the City of New York,
and its ean-minded citizens
You can imagine what happened.
The actors on the stage stopped as if
they were frozen-a hard thing to do
in the torrid atmosphere they had
created. The audience was in an up
roar. A handsome young woman made
herself heard through the clamor.
I'm heartily agree with the gentle
man," she exclaimed. This is an
insult to American womanhood."
made note that she deserved bonus
for her sincere vehemence.
Throw him outr' demanded an
other on my payroll.
That's Eric Biggins." a man in the
back of the theatre identified. That's
Eric the Earache. He's right again."
Throw him out. an insistent voice
demanded. Throw out Eric the Ear
ache"
The whole theatre was ringing with
shouts by this time. Two men near
Eric took a swing at him and one
raised a blackening lump under his
left eye.
II demand that this show be
closed" he shouted, and one would
have thought all other sounds whispers.
A squad of policemen closed around
Eric, and none too gently escorted
him from the theatre. My bondsman
had him freed an hour after his arrest,
and Eric, as pre-arranged, came to my
Office.
We'll have to get some raw steak
for my eye." he said
Let the eye stand as it is and pray
it gets worse" advised. Your
wounds attest your zeal for virtue.
Now get back to your hotel"
In the magistrates court next
morning. Eric was almost lost in a
herd of reporters and photographers.
The smartest lawyer in New York
demanded of the court what the times
were coming to when man was ousted
because of instincts learned at his
mothers knee. The theatres attorney
pleaded for submission of the case to
the Grand Jury. 1t was dismissed out
of hand, and the magistrate won him
self a salvo of cheers.
Symposiums were gathered by the
newspapers: various organizations
passed resolutions upholding Eric.
For time it looked as if he were going
to lose his trademark because many
people preferred to refer to him as

ERIC the Champion of Decency."
The newspapers, however, held hard
to the Earache designation.
With his eye still in midnight hue. /
brought him to meet Mary Endiss -
meeting arranged through the press
agent of her theatre. She was eloquent
in her gratitude for the fight waged
for clean stage.
Mary. too, was from small town,
Cottersburg, Missouri. and with this
mutual starting point. she and Eric
got along famously.
Next day, anonymously, l tipped
the sob sisters to the budding TO-
nance and, if l do say it myself. l
think the resultant publicity gave
considerable impetus to the affinity
between them. Odder than all else,
Eric ceased to plead for further ex-
ploitation.
The momentum of the recent coup
was carrying him. He spoke before
several church groups, he addressed
women's clubs. and he made speech
at banquet of stage uplifters.
Then an epidemic of passion MUIR
ders tossed Eric out of the news
papers. For ten days he was back in
that obscurity which is the fate of
most New Workers. 1t was time now
to dope up something new.
Eric presented himself at my office
and he gave me the solution. He was
clad in the most fitting garments a
Fifth Avenue tailor could contrive for
man about town. Shoes, socks. scarf
and spats blended to make him, all
standing, less arduous on the eyes.
Before l could comment, he spilled
the contents of bulging brief case
upon my desk.
Home town papers," he said.
Among them were excerpts from the
morning and evening papers of his
town; clippings. photographs and
copies of theatrical advertisements
which shrieked the announcement
that Eric Biggins would be seen on. as
well as heard from, the screens of the
local theatres. They were of the tenor

City; but as they viewed it. Lind
bergh. Edison and even Lincoln had

compared to Eric Biggins. Strangely.
none of them called him Eric the
Earache.
What does it all mean?" I asked.
1T means I'm going back, back to
Lascelleville where I'm SOME

BODY into capital letters.
You're going to leave Mary
Endiss?'
Never again" he answered. She's
given her two weeks notice and then
she goes back with me to be SOME

But your career here?"
That's ended. It's over. I'm
through. And besides -" he shook
my hand in farewell - besides, my
doctor tells me I've contracted chronic
laryngitis.

Cubs and the Giants We very nearly
won. the game going to ten innings
before the Cubs prevailed, and Eric was
recorded as an interesting feature. We
went back next day. His tones carried
above those of the windworn local
rooters, the Giants won and Eric was
acclaimed as contributing reason.
Once more we tried it. 1t was
double header, but we never saw the
second game, because Eric was in
duced to leave between games. The
fans gave him a pop-bottle shower.
and large COB of soft ice cream
decorated him when he was hustled
into taxicab. The Giants broke even,
their luck lasting as long as Eric's
stay. Chicago gave him a farewell
razz; it was all gravy. because the
New York sporting pages described
him as a martyr for the home team.
Now about this girl?" l asked on
the train. Eric b!ushed.
I've never met her - that IS, to
speak to-" he answered.
My little man of riddles had me
stumped again. Presently he ex-
planned. She was Mary Endiss. the

understand she is comparatively un-

see if we can arrange to have you meet
her."
On our arrival in New York, rash
of stuff broke out in most of the
papers. Eric did his part we'll. He left
plenty of mystery still to be pene-
trated and he even resisted the pro-
fessional wiles of two sob sisters who
sought to worm out romantic secrets.
He merely hinted that there was
girl, the dearest girl in the world. to
whom he aspired. AS one woman. the
sobbists asked the world: Who is the
