of a current drive by his friends
to gather petitions to put him on
the ballot as an independent.
If he concludes that there's d
large, sincere demand for his cam
didacy, he will get into the fight.
Otherwise not.
Reports in Washington indicate
that if the senator does decide to
run he will face one Of the hard
est contests of his long career. The
Democratic candidate, Terry Car
penter, is an accomplished rabble-
rouser and the choice of the
TownsenditeS. The Republican
candidate, Bob Simmons, will
have the support of most conserv'
ativeS.
Although the state Democratic
organization, headed by Arthur
Mullen and Senator Burke, has
repudiated Carpenter and en-
dorsed Norris, progressive friends
of the veteran independent sem
ator doubt whether that group
wants Norris to win or can be de-
pended on for effective aid.
If Norris runs, however, he will
have the full support of RooSe-
welt.

AZ Unpublished
Manuscripts OF
@. Henry Found

ASHEVILLE. July ia lit
crary discovery of worldwide i'm
portancc was revealed yesterday
in Ashnville-the finding of a
large number Of unpublished
works by o. Henry, Americas
greatest short story writer. This
amazing discovery was made in
Texas by Miss Mary S. Harrell, a
young woman of literary accom-
plishmentS. who for the last two
years has been doing research in
preparation for writing a biOgra-
ply of O. Henry.
1t is peculiarly fitting that this
announcement should be made in
Asheville, since the famous writer
is buried here and this is a shrine
for his admirers. O. Henry (his
real name was William Sydney
Porter) married an Asheville girl
and they resided in this city for
while. Mrs. Porter, the widow,
still lives here.
None of the works of o. Henry
Just unearthcd by Miss Harrell is
included in any of the complete"
editions Of o. Henry. None has
ever been published in any O.
Henry book. This newly discov-
cred material comprises AZ pieces
in all; 28 short stories, 6 word
sketches and poems. These writ
ings have been authenticated by
the leading O. Henry scholars as
absolutely genuine.

Of such consequence was this

W7ASHINGTON-"This genera
" ton has a rendezvous with
destiny" said President RooSe-
welt in one of the big lines of his
Philadelphia speech.
Did the president make that one
up himself? Or did he crib it, in
essence. from one of his most per-
sistent critics?
The only reason for raising the
point is that David Cushman
Coyle wrote in the final chapter
of his book called "Brass facks":
america. as Walter Lippmann
said. has an appointment with
Destiny"
And in new simplified version
of the earlier book, entitled "Un-
common Sense" Coyle para
phrases to say:
"This generation, as Walter
Lipplnann once said, has an APP
pointment with destiny"
Lippmann is newspaper COL
umnist who again and again has
taken the president and the New
Deal to task for various policies
COYLE is one of Roosevelt's IA
" vorite authors. His friends
say the president has been con.
siderably influenced by his writ
.'ings and that the philosophy Of
his acceptance speech was closely
akin to Coyle's.
For instance. Coyle writes: $50,

have been fighting against trusts
and monopolies. The people have
been defeated again and again
while the masters of high finance
have extended their power"

RISING GOLD SUPPLY MAY PRODUCE
A BOOM
tBy BRUCE CATION

II would be a fine joke on somebody II
gold-that priced and maHgned yellow
metal from which nation after nation has
cut the moorings of its currency-should
vet be the means through which suffer-
ing world might re-enter the magic land OF
prosperity.
Such a possibility is actually in the cards
Whether it will in fact be dealt out IS, OF
course, an open question; but it IS there,
waiting for the fates to bring it forth, II
they are so minded.
A writer i'm a recent issue of the New
Republic pointed out, for one thlng' tnat
there has been an immense increase In the
stock of monetary gold held in the United
States. In 1880, that stock stood at ABOUT
$4,000, OOO, 900; today, it is nearly slo'-
5OO,OOO,OOO.
Furthermore, the excess reserves OF Fed
eral Reserve member banks are so great
that approximately O,OOO,OOO,OOO of adj
ditional loans could be made against them.
Thus if initiation means issuance OF new
money and extension of credit, we could
have big, healthy dose of it in this coun-
trv even if we anchored our currency most
sohdly to gold.
But that is only part of the picture. In
June, the London Economist pointed ou
that world production of gold has IN
creased tremendously all through the de-
preston. Before the depression, the rec
ord for world production was set in 1918.
with an output of 23,O0O,O0O ounces. In
1885 production was 31,000,0OO; by 1910,
it will probably be 4O,0OO,OOO.
The worlds stock of monetary gold has
been increased by more than 80 per cent
since 1929.
As if that were not enough, most OF the
great nations have devalued their cur
rency. When sterilization comes, the
worlds gold will support far more cur
rency, ounce for ounce, than it supported
in 1929.
The result is that the world probably
will be able to issue at least twice as much
money and credit, on gold base, as Ii
was able to issue at the height of the 1929
boom.
What does all this forecast? Here's
what the London Economist says about 1t;
There is a greater unused supply OF
money, or potential money, in existence
now than ever before in the history OF
mankind. The gold of the Incas which is
supposed to have started the 18th century
initiation, the gold of California after 1S4S,
the gold of the Rand in the 189Os-all
these were trifles compared with the IN
creased supply of gold measured by Its
monetary value) which has piled up in the
last five years"
The world in general, then, would seem
to be in for one of the most prodigious
booms in its history A great increase IN
the worlds gold supply has always, here
tofore, been followed by boom. ;.t
Can we not expect one now, with the
gold supply rising 10 a higher point thar
it has ever reached before in all history?

LIGHT HORSE HARRY

Light Horse Harry L. Hopkins, white hope OF
the new era, leaves stone unturned as ne pun
liczes the construction of his magnificent ROADS 10
nowhere. Under his magnanimous eyes propa-
ganda machine has been set up which d"arfs tne
bureaucratic and despotic mouthpieees of those
other tvrants of the new era, to w.t. Hitler, Mus
solini and Stain.
HOPKINS has not even overlooked the lowly IAN
tern slide in his eugenc desire to breed bigger ana
hotter ioafers within our boundaries. His staff OIL
nropaeandists has focused it's efforts on every
conceivable form of publicity in its attempts TO
enlist the support of the country in the greatest
swindle of modern America.
Unfortunately for the star gazing Mr.. HOPKINS
the newspapers of the country will not be duped
bv the Utopians prattle of milk and honey for all.
We are tired of being MIXED to provide the money
for coterie of ne'er-do-well parasitic politicians
whose only mission in life is to fatten themselves
The newspapers so far have done an outstanding
lob in exposing the folly of these star gazers Ihey
will not be compromised by the political palaVer
of Light Horse Harrys press brigade. In partlcu-
lar those small dailies and weeklies, considered SO
much "meat" by the propagandsts are not oper-
ated by robots. These know their job ana
know that the only place for propaganda IS the
waste paper basket. They will not be led astray

every move is based on political expediency.-

 James Montgomery Beck, Phila- delphia ex-congressman, who now carries the Constitution around under his wing and keeps clucking over 1t, made speech the other night to the Rhode Island Bar Association, from which New Deal- CTS are mimeographing excerpts.
 Beck ventured the startling opin- ion that the spirit of the supreme courts decision in the IVA case ency." The court, he said, "can- not be ignorant of the fact that there is rising storm in Congress" to curbs its powers. MT. Beck him. self had declared IVA unconstitu- tional.
 The admission by MT. Beck that the court was susceptible to outside pressure Is considered as- tonishing. Anti-Beck lawyers have felt that a majority of the jus- tices were susceptible to the pressure of their backgrounds as corporation lawyers or economic prejudices, but they never ex-
 pected MT. Beck to admit the court to be susceptible to such pressure or any other.
 MT. Beck, who hitherto has said that the Constitution was "bea- con" and Gothic cathedral" and floating dock'.. but not rock or sandy beach," and that the supreme court was a balance wheel" declared in his Rhode Is- land speech that the court is not an "anchor" or a "rudder," bu ta lighthouse"
