No compromise appeared posi-

ity in telling the House of Com.
mons his cabinet was not disposed
to make King Edwards marriage
easier by passing a special law
validating a morganatic union.
To the premier's unflinching at,
titude, King Edward was reported
to have taken the stand:
"Let the nation decide"
While circles close to the King
continued to insist he would fight
for his right to marry Mrs. Simp-
son, there were none who would
comment on the possibility he
might abdicate.
1t was strongly intimated in in
formed quarters that the Mon
arch's plan" to give up his throne
might be announced on Monday
a step which would bring about an
indirect appeal to the country
without danger Of a general elec-
ton, inaSmuch as parliament
must approve abdication.
Talks By Telephone
Abdication calls for assent not
only by both houses of Parlia,
ment but by all the Parliaments
OF the dominionS. King Edwards s
supporters are confident that in
such an eventuality, all the do.
minionS would not side against
him.
Surrounded only by q small
group Of advisers, King Edward
was heartened in his lone fight
by occasional telephone conversa-
tionS with Mrs. Simpson, who is
understood en- route to the Rivera,
The King, in effect, told Mrs.
Simpson to move out Of the front
line trenches into a "rest area"
while the bombardment is on.
It is now, he believes, q mans
fight.
AbdicatiOn Opposed
The sudden and hurried depar.
ture Of Mrs. Simpson was inter
preted in some quarters as a
shrewd piece Of kingly strategy.

thus was able to remove in ad.

receive Mrs. Simpson today.
Whisking southwark after a
wild ride from England, Mrs.
| Simpson was robbed of the haven
she sought here almost at the out
set, when 30 carloads Of reporters
and cameramen picked up her
trail at BloiS, where she stopped
for a few hours SleepleSS rest.
She lodged the pursuit for q
time when a sudden squirt from
the Hotel De France at Bolis at
$3.50 a. m. threw them off the
scent, but in a few hours her pro-
greS down the Rhone reSembled q
fast-moving parade.
Her big American-made limouS-
inc, bearing the royal license
numbers droned through Roane

m, without stopping, and rolled
southwark, close behind Surete
Generate escort, toward Valence
and Avignon. At some point be-
fore MarSeilles she will turn west

Police in every town and ham,
let along the line were ordered to
prepare easy passage for Mrs.
Simpson and to try to break up
the pursuit.
In her own car, besides the
chauffeur, were two Scotland
Yard detectives, giving her the
protection of the two most famous
police organizations in Europe.
A Scotland Yard detective also
accompanied her baggage, a dozen
suitcaSeS and hat boxes and two
trunks, which came to Cannes by
train and was taken to the villa
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Living
ston Rogers, who were guests with
Mrs. Simpson aboard the Kings
chartered yacht, the NahIin, on a
Mediterranean cruise last summer.
Surrounded by expansive gar,
dens and patrolled by special
guards, the villa will no doubt
finally afford her the seclusion
she seeks until the storm over
King Edwards intentions to marry

BOSTON, October ,24.-Words at
tributed to Alfred e. Smith in 1883
were quoted by Joseph P. KENNEDY
tonight in answer to the former New
York Governors more recent crlti-
cisms of President Roosevelt.
Defending the President from
charges of communism" and "dicta-
torship," Kennedy-first chairman OF
the Securities Exchange Commission
said in q campaign speech prepared
for delivery at a dinner Of the Demo-
cratic Business Mems League OF
Massachusetts,:
IF President Roosevelt had the
slightest desire to become q die
tator, to change our form of govern
ment and to alter our existing system
of private property and individual
initiative, why did he not seize the
opportunity which was offered to him
In the Spring of 1888? He rejected
that opportunity even though many
men of wealth were arguing that
we declare a moratorium on constitu-
tional government.
FOrmer IOV. Al oHiltu Ill rcuIuaiy,
1888, thought that the crisis was more
serious than the World War and could
be fought by democracy arrogating to
itself the powers of a tyrant, despot,
or a monarch
"As for the Constitution, his view in
1888 was somewhat different from now
when he said:
"'Let us look back few years to
1917 and 1918. What did We do then?
Why we took the Constitution, wrap
ped it up and put it on shelf and
forgot it until it was over"
At this same time, Kennedy as
serted, Gov. Landon out in Kansas
was talking about the need for dc
tator In the oil industry
The whole issue Of communism In
the presidential campaign was de-
scribed by Kennedy, himself banker.
as a ''cowardly trick by discredited
Republican politicians in q des-
perate attempt to evade the real

Says.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October IA
swelling flood of political oratory drew
from Prof. Peter Odegard Of Ohio
State University today the assertion
that Its all very interesting but 1t
has little effect on the result OF an
election"
Most political campaigns are old
fashioned revival meetings" said Ode
gard, professor Of political science and
nationally known as a lecturer and
writer on political subjects. They
merely give voters chance to reaffrm
their political faith publicly"
Odegard said elections usually are
decided by q relatively small shifting
vote, rather than the ballots Of those
who are targets for most Of the propa-
sanda shot out by candidates and their
publicity Staf1s.
Radio campaigning, the political
science expert asserted, is like .
house toulouse campaign by q mys-
terious stranger"
A good symbol maker"-like the
one who introduced President Roose-
velts forgotten man" idea-enhances
the value of q political candidates
propaganda, he asserted.
AS to the value Of propaganda In
winning elections, Odegard believes
"an ounce Of organization Is worth
many pounds of propaganda"

CABIN CRUISER RAMMED

The cabin cruiser Vega" owned
by John Schaffer, of Chesapeake
City was rammed by the freighter
F. & A. Jeffries, of Baltimore, off
Turkey Point, late Thursday night of
last week and a seven-foot hole torn
in her side. The compact was SO
great the two boats apparently chung
together. There were twelve aboard
the Vega" and they were all assist
ed aboard the freighter and taken to
Town Point. The cabin cruiser was
also towed to the same place, not
withstanding she began to leak badly.
She later sunk.
Mr. Smith, who was assisting in
operating the cruiser, sustained a
badly lacerated scalp. 1t required
five stitches to close the wound. The
other occupants were all badly
shaken up, but not seriously injured.
The freighter was enroute to Bal
timore, loaded with tomatoes, and
the pleasure craft had been on a
cruise down the bay.

DIG up CIVIL WAR RELIC

The work of digging trenches for
the Rising Sun sewer system is near
completion, with probably about 400
yards more of trench to dig on East
Main street. More than dozen
properties in the western section of
town have been connected up.
While digging in the trench on
East Main street, last week, what is
probably a Civil War relic was I'M
earthed. 1t is a shell, about ten
inches long and three inches in
diameter. The shell is apparently
still charged and in good condition.
Pieces of other shells have been dug
up in the same section of trench on
East Main street, and it is thought
there might have been an ammuni-
ton dump in that locality during
Civil War days.
Some years ago a bayonet was
brought to light while the garden Of
H. M. Duyckinck, in that section OF
town, was being plowed. Mr.. Duy-
ckiDck has the old bayonet at his
garage In this town.

Legal Action In Local
Election Law

To test the validity of the local
amendment to the election law re-
garding the employment of an extra
set of judges to count the vote after
the polls have been closed, and to
have the law interpreted If same is
valid, test case was heard befol e
Police Justice Walter c. Miller in
Elkton. The suit was brought by c..
Warren Kennard, one of the daytime
election Judges, for pay for one hour
overtime which the County Commits
sioners had refused to pay.
The new provision of the law re-
quires that new judges shall replace
the day officials after the polls have
been closed to check and count the
vote.
Henry A. Warburton, counsel to
the Board of Election Supervisors,
contended that the provisions was
unconstitutional in that the State
law required the day officials to re-
main until the vote shall have been
counted. Mr.. Warburton appeared
for Mr.. Kennard and William j.
Bratton for the County Commits
sioners.
After holding the case under con-
sideration, Judge Miller decided in
favor of the plaintiff and awarded
Mr.. Kennard the sum of fifty cents.
Mr.. Bratton has appealed the case to
the Circuit Court.
