AlHl FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT s

Democrats have been going through
their Philadelphia convention in a
worried state. They are not worried
concerning AL Smith, as the headlines
have indicated. They are worried, not
over a man politically dead lin their
opinion), but over the rise of third
party.
Representative William Lemke, of
North Dakota, is not a heavyweight
as a candidate for president, but he
from both parties. And the Rev Char
les Il. LOughlin, radio priest, bound
up with Lemke, may represent a re-
volt of the Industrial midwest worker
The detection at the present time
would not amount to anything. But
such a movement, tied up with fana-
teal money appeal may expand sud-
denly, especially if there should be a
slight letup in the present initiation
airy movement of prices.
Any detection would harm the lib
eral party-the Democrats - more
than the Republicans.
PROGRAM?
1t is even unnecessary for such a
movement to have a workable pro-
gram. A few melting phrases would
be enough to arouse a vast mass of
people.
Norman Thomas, Socialist candid
ate for president, picks holes in the
Lemke program, but the mass of the
people will not recognize these de-

Automobile Door Handle
Is Cause of Accidents

torcycle he had collided with an au-
tomobile, and the door handle of the
car had been driven through the
skull, burying itself within his head.
1t had broken off clearly from it's at
tachment at the door. Prompt oper-
alton saved his life and today he is
able to work, although he has lost
the sight Of one eye.
Walker Struck by Door
Another peculiar case was that of
a man who was walking along the
highway on the left side of the road,
facing traffic. A car passed him
travelling at rapid speed, and as it
did so, the door handle alone struck
him, and embedded itself in his arm,
breaking off from it's attachment to
the door. The X-ray showed the door
handle embedded in the bone.
There are q number Of reports in
medical literature Of automobile door
handle injuries. "a casual glance,
says one Of these, Eat row of pass
ing cars cannot but convince one Of
the potential danger of this project
ing piece Of metal. In the recent
streamlined models is to be seen

short of a spear-truly a vicious
weapon-directed toward any victim
who may chance to be in its path"
In the engineering Of automobiles
1t is suggested that two improve
ments be made in the handle: first,
a handle wsthout sharp projections.
such as the oval ones on older mod
els, and second, the handle that lies
either close against or is countersunk
within the side Of the door.

to feel that they were nominating
candidate simply to be knocked
ever. They needed to be "peped up"
right from the jump, and Chairman
Henry P. Fletcher, who called them
to order is the last Individual to do
any "pepping.' He's extremely gentle
manly. That's what's the matter with
him, politically speaking. He's too
much so. And by the time the trough
er necks" got into action the atmos-
phere already was depressing and
they had a hard JOB counteracting it.
SOUND ATTACHMENTS
Democratic Chairman James A.

Greet remarks about typical prairie

kept it up very creditably.
Outside the convention hall also the
Democratic committees headquarters
have been plenty jazzy.
Not so the Republican committees

tiers were mighty effervescent. but the

Nevertheless, the Republican con-
vention ended up on a note of con-

gan with, whereas the Democratic
convention opened to the tune of a
few doubts that the party's leaders
didn't admit, but certainly entertain
ed trifle more than they had ex-
pected to.

Some also regard this move as a tacit
admission that no new votes can be
made or shifted in the eastern sec
ton of the State between now and
next Saturday.
The actual speaking program and
itinerary of Mr.. Hoey for the final
week could not be learned at his head
quarters here today, other than that
he would make a speech in Wades-
boro, Arson county, Monday night
and that he would make at least two
Statewide radio speeches during the
week. But neither the dates nor the
places from which the radio speeches
would be made had been decided up
on as yet. The speech in Wadesboro
is regarded as definite effort to WOO
the votes which were cast in Arson
county for John A. McRae, a native
of Arson. This was the only county
McRae carried.
It is evident that the managers in
Mr.. Hoey's headquarters here regard
the far western counties as already
being safe and sure to give Hoey a
big vote, as in the first primary, al
though it was indicated that every
thing possible is going to be done to
get out a big vote in the western
counties. 1t is also evident that the
Hoey strategists have decided few
new votes have been captured by Mr..
Hoey's recent speaking trips into the
eastern counties where most ObSer
vers agree that the voters have al
ready definitely made up their minds
to vote for either Hoey or Mcdonald.
But in the big and populous Pied
mont counties there are still many
voters who have not yet decided just
how they are going to vote, it is be-
lieved, with the result that Mr.. HOeys
only chance for getting any new votes
is in these counties especially since
indications are that Mcdonald is go
ing to continue to concentrate his
campaign in the east.

A million persons in the Mexico
City area spent the night without
electricity and ate scraped-togeth-

there being no gas.
The reason was a strike of cleo

all electric power a day and night.
There were no theaters, no NOV
