His book, Hell Bent for Elec-' tion," sold 500,000 copies.
 But when Warburg went out to see Governor Landon in Topeka, something went wrong. He was shunted about, did not get much of reception, went away peeved.
 Following this, Charles TauSsig went to work on Warburg. Taus- sig is one of the original Brain Trusters. He Is also the man who introduced Warbufg to the President, was responsible for bringing him into the little group of Roosevelt advisers.
 Naturally Warburg'S defection upset Taussig terrifically. His greatest love is Franklin Roose- welt, yet he had been responsible for creating one of Roosevelt's most effective enemies.
 So finally he convinced War; burg that he should return. He did this through Secretary of State Hull, whose policies War burg approves, and who had some frank talks with the black sheep before he finally was persuaded TO RETURN TO THE FOLD. Picketing Hoover Opposite the Hoover home in Palo Alto, a sandwich signboard man paces to and fro display ing hostile slogans. The slogans read:
 "Insull's and Kreuger's Bonus Army"
 ''Foreclosures and Bankrupt- cies"
 Bullets and Breadlines"
 The sandwich man is paid by the Young Democratic Club of Palo Alto.
 Norris Supporter
 When Clifford Pinchot, one time liberal governor of Pennsyl- vania, appeared at republican headquarters in Chicago and vol- unteered to stump for Governor Landon he was elcomed with WhoopS of joy.
 Ex-CongreSSmal1 Fred Purt1ell, chairman of the Speakers Bureau, immediately asked Pinchot if he would campaign in Nebraska.
 "You can do a lot of good for the ticket there," Purnell urged.
 "I am at your service" re- piled PinchOt. "I'll be glad to speak in Nebraska"
 "Fine, that's fine, governor enthused PurnelI. "And while you are in the state I wonder if you would say something for Robert G. Simmons, our cam didate for senator"
 "NO,n replied Pinchot firmly. 'T couldn't do that. I'll speak for Governor Landoll but for no one else in Nebraska. I ann squarely for the reelection of Senator Norris and I will not say a word against him."
 NOTE Finchot was not put on the COP stump in Nebraska. He was sent into other states.

 Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who as 8 young lawyer in New York city organized and taught the largest Bible class in the country, sends his old copies of magazines to the Washington Y. w.. c. A.
 The copies are highly prized by the young women residents of the Y, who distinguish them from other magazines by the address stamped in the corner.

 Washington has the largest vote-by-mail population in the country. A survey revealed that 125.0O0 residents of the capital will ballot this year via the pos- tai service. In 1882, 65,O00 voted by mail in the district The campaign speeches that ex-Presi- dent Hoover is making for 0oy- eTncr Landon are delivered under his own arrangements.s When Hoover announced he would take the stump, COP Speakers Bu- reau received numbers of wires from state chairman advisin9 that

safeguard around the President of the United States, whoever he may be. Even at receptions fn the White House no one is ale lowed to draw near the President with bis hands in his pockets. This rule was made after the assassination of President A6c- . KinIey by a man who had a gun concealed in the handkerchief in his hand. On one occasion when President Roosevelt was holding his annual soiree for the Supreme Court, Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen relate that two of the associate justices of the court had their hands jerked out of their pockets by secret service guards who were taking no chances on a member of the high est court in the land. What is worrying Senator Bradley is not the alleged discourtesy of the Presidents official guardians toward democratic municipal leaders in the state but the visit of Roosevelt which has cost the republican, national and state tickets thousands of votes.

The Opposition

 While the bill was under con- sideration by the congress 1t was fought step by step. tooth and nail, fang and claw, by the Ma tional Association of Manufac- turers. The motive was as ar1y- one might expect the good CD of the workers. The National As- sociation of Manufacturers, as al- ways, was not thinking of It's members. But somehow its love for its members employees failed to impress the legislators in Washington and the bill passed. Like, all the other lovers of the constitution and the law generally who are thirsting for MT. Roose-, velt's gore, the Association find- ing itself unable to present pas- sage of the Healy- Walsh measure the usual procedure: It is attempt-, ing to find loopholes in the law and any or every means to defeat its effective enforcement.
