Well, WELL" said Blackwood i'm
patiently. Where's Percy?"
The answer to that question, II 1t
could be found, would be the solution
to the mystery. Certainly Zelda Lam

driven Percy to her aunt's after a
blue Persian kitten-who had dallied
with him in his rooms long enough,
at least, for the kitten to drink q

It appeared that there were a

The wire-haired terrier, which had
been slumbering on the window seat,

He strobe into the corridor for his
hat and stick, then paused and listened
while the doorbell rang twice. There
was an urgent note In the metallic
outcry. Through the ground-glass
pane he could see the shadow Of a
woman on the doorstep.
I'll answer 1t, Jim," he called, and
did so.
The woman on the doorstep was
a stranger. apparently young and
attractive one. He peered at her in
the half darkness. Wrong number,
he supposed.

pealing voice. Il am Anne Gray-Mr

laughed. This is confusing"

Ickes Charges w. r. Hearst Picked LandOn
Mr.. Hearst Relieves:
Landon the Choice
Of American People

MIR. ICKES' whole broadcast is rather absurd,
NA but his remarks about Mr.. Hearst are par
ticularly vapid.
Mr.. Hearst attended the 1920 Republican con-
vention as a journalist
He publicly advocated in his newspapers the
nomination of Hiram Johnson of California for
President, and Calvin Coolidge for Vice Presi-
dent.
He vigorously opposed Harding's nomination
IN his newspapers.
This was the only way in which he could sup
port or oppose any candidate, as he was not
delegate to the convention
IN 1892 Mr.. Hearst in his newspapers sup
l. ported Mr.. Garner for the presidential nomi-
nation, but when it became evident that Mr..
Garner could not be nominated for President,
Mr.. Hearst supported him for Vice President
on the Roosevelt ticket
Mr.. Hearst supported Mr.. Roosevelt during
the campaign, because of the sound democratic
principles which Mr.. Roosevelt advocated and
because of the pledges Mr.. Roosevelt gave the
public to put these policies into operation.
When Mr.. Roosevelt failed to carry out his
promises, Mr.. Hearst ceased to support him.
Mr.. Hearst still believes that Johnson would
have made better President than Harding
and that Garner would have made a better
President than Roosevelt.
MIR. HEARST believes today that Governor
WI Landon is the choice of definite jority
of the Republican voters for the Republican
nomination for the presidency, and that Cover
nor Landon should therefore be nominated.
Mr.. Hearst believes that Governor Landon's
principles are soundly American, and that the
man himself is able and honest.
He will keep whatever pledges he makes.
He will deserve and receive the confidence of
the public.
He will be elected.
Mr. Ickes obviously believes this ALSO Other
wise he would not be working with the reac-
tionaries in the Republican party in the attempt
to prevent Governor Landon's nomination.

could" He admonished:
"If their platform demands
the balancing of the budget, the
frank and honest thing for
them to announce in connection
with that policy would be when
it is to be balanced and how"
RAPS FARM PLANK
OF the farm plank, he prophe
sled:
Before the farmers eye, they
will spread weasel words, ambig-
uous phraseolOgy, promises fac
ing both ways, hoping that they
can fool him again as they did
up to 1882"
Ickes doubted the platform
would indorSe the Supreme Court
decision invalidating the Agricul
tural Adjustment Administration
He continued:
ITO put on a convincing front
for the benefit Of the farmers,
the aid of former Governor
Frank o. LOwden, Of Illinois,

agricultural plank.
"But the farmers Of the cOun-
try have not forgotten the treat
ment accorded Mr.. LOwden in
the past at the instance of the

Ickes opined the Republicans
would spare nothing in denounc
ing the Roosevelt administration

"In the choice and diScrimi.
mating language of Mr.. Hearst,
we have been giving the coun-
try q raw DEAL" a cry that
has been taken up by ServiIe

that the Republican party is
about to fare forth on a blind
date, the location Of which is
unknown"

SAYS MARTIN
BY REP. JOSEPH w. MARTIN
Of Massachusetts

BY REP. JOSEPH w. MARTIN
Of Massachusetts
Convention Floor Manager for
Governor LandOn
CLEVELAND, June 8 (IN.S).
No coalition of Republican PreSi-
Dental aspirants in Cleveland has
the remotest chance Of blocking
the nomination of Governor ALI
Landon Of Kansas.
While we do not claim victory
on the very first ballot, our most
conservative estimates show that
at least 400 delegates will register
their approval of Landon on the
initial roll call.
Three Ballots Expected
With huge majority of dele
gates favoring the Kansas gov
ernor after the perfunctory "fav-
orite son" votes are cast, we are
looking for his nomination no
later than the third ballot.
In the face of overwhelming
Landon sentiment, there has been
considerable talk Of our opponents
combining their forces in an ef-
fort to halt the Landon band
wagon.
Only a cursory inquiry Of the
temper Of the delegates is nee
essary to disclose the futility Of
such a move. Such talk clearly
indicates the desperation of those
who are crying stop Landon!"
Coalition Doubted
To my mind, it seems extremely
doubtful that the various person
alities who oppose Landon'S nomi-
nation even could be brought into
one camp for the purpose Of
selecting a coalition candidate.
