News Behind the News
A First Rate FizzIe The Union
Party Union :. SeUerai StatureS
Suffer ShrinkGge

WAsHINGTON-Whe you consider all the
reanS of publicity devoted to it and the fact
that it commanded the support OF some 0.
Americas most accomplished "rabble-rouserS.
you have to admit that the Union Party under
Congressman Bill Lemke, wound up as first
rate fizzle
The immediate effect will be further to
whttle Father Coughlin Doctor Townsend, and
the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith down to statures
more or less corresponding TO the size OF the
vote their combined efforts managed to pile up
for the Hon. Mr.. Lemke.
The long run effect probably will be insur-
ance that none of these gentlemen will assume
any particular Importance in the political strug-
giles of the future.
Gradual decline of Lemke strength was i'll
accordance with predictions which most OF the
cagier veteran politicians made when the con-
greSsman's candidacy was announced
They were positive in the conviction that a
third party couldn't get anywhere unless 1t had
some central driving tneme-that either Father
Coughlin hammering away for government own
ership of banks Doctor Townsend vehementy
preaching his old age pension plan probably
could get more presidential votes than canol-
date not so we'll known who sought to take in
their followers and those OF the late Huey Long
under one tent.
Lemke himself failed TO rouse 'em"-to Use
the terminology of the Reverand Gerald 1t may
be said IN case II hasn't been reVeaIed pc
fore, that Lemke's candidacy was part of
"grudge fight ,...
For years Lemke had faith in Franklin D.
Roosevelt-faith that Roosevelt would not stand
in the way of his pet FraZier-Lemke bill, a
highly infatonary measure under which the
federal government would have assumed farm
mortgages.
After two years of patient effort, he forced
his bill TO a vote in the House and the admins
trations steam-roler tactics in defeating it
enraged him to the point that he thought any
effort was worth ii if he could beat Roosevelt
for reelection.
The only appeal the Union Party conceivably
could have had to the discontented, under
privileged" elements Roosevelt made his ap-
peal 10 such groups and it was too bad Tor
Lemke.
Although it seemed definitely established
that Lemke was drawing more heavily from
those who had previously supported Roosevelt
than from those who in 1882 voted for Hoover,
there was much queStion-certainly in many
areas-whether much OF the vote he seemed
destined to get at the water mark of his
campaign wouldn't nave gone to Landon any
way, in case Lsmke hadn't been running.
The slogan "A vote for Lemke is vote for
Landon' had some effect So dill Don't waste
your vote!"
Other potential Lemke voters drifted away
as it became evident that Landon could use
any ant-Roosevelt votes anyone could give him;
Polls indicate that Landon was in most areas
the one to profit from Lemke defections.

THEY'RE VERY GOOD
AT DENYING CHARGES

The Spanish non-intervention commit
tee, in London, has acquitted Soviet Rus
sia of German charges that Russia sup
piled materials to LoyaliSts in the Span
ish revolution. The verdict was to be
expected.
In American courts, exact proof Of
crime is required before conviction. In
international circles, where nations deal
with nations, proof must be so over
whelming that there is not even the pos
sibility of doubt Russia would not
allow herself to deal SO openly. Whe-
ther or not Russia supplied foods and
munitions to the Spanish Reds however,
is a matter of so much quibbling. 1t is
beside the point.
The point is = and only. the most
brazen of Russian diplomats can deny
it-that Soviet teachings are behind the
civil strife in Spain The pen may be
mightier than the sword, but unbridled
class hatred is mightier than either.
Since MARKHAM teachings flowered to
full bloom in Russia. the Soviet has done
little except promote such class hatred.
Russia not SO long ago denied offl-
cially any connection with the activi-
ties Of Communists in the United States.
Yet there is plenty of proof that instruc-
tions come to Reds in this country from
Moscow. Not from Soviet government
sources, perhaps = but most certainly
from sources having government conf
dence. Just so is Russia denying any
connection with Spanish affairs today.
Where trouble is brewing, the official
word of the Russian government is not
worth the ink it is written in.

Some of us who haven't lived here all our

WHAT THE STOCK MARKET
THINKS OF THE ELECTION

Since election day, value of listed
stocks on the New York exchange has
been increased by almost billion and
quarter dollars. Utility stocks have
been the only ones to suffer. Turnover
of shares has been the largest in many
months.
The reelection of Franklin D. RoOse-
welt, it would seem, has not exactly
frightened business, Republican pre-
election campaigners to the contrary.
The stock market has a habit of going
up after receipt of favorable news. By
the same token, it is depressed by un-
favorable events There is only one con-
clusion:
The election of Roosevelt was favor
able news to business.

Horoscope 'The stars incline
 but do not compel'
SATURDAY. MAY 2. 1886

SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1886 According to astrology this is an uncertain day in which the best energies should be devoted to be- ginning constructive work. It is favorable to the arrangement of household or office furnishings.
 The sway stimulates building and construction of every sort. There is profit indicated for engineers, architects and contractors. The United States is to become a coun- try world famous for its bridges, tunnels and public edifices. Under this sway gossip will be prevalent. The worst instead of the best in character will be en- phasized. It is ominous for politi- cal candidates.
 Merchants and manufacturers are to profit greatly through the summer, but Instructions may be erected by government policies which were intended to protect the na- ton.
 Motion pictures now are to gain new field of interest due to their medium as purveyorS of political ideas and partisan principles. The radio also is to become more of campaign aid than ever before.
 Libel suits are forecast, for the stars presage many evil communi- cations and bitter accusations in newspapers and on lecture plat forms.
 Good aspects of the Moon to Uranus and Mars to Jupiter in- cline to great activity in business and industry. Labor troubles will be widespread despite improved em- ployment conditions. Women today should avoid pub lie work and devote attention to social or domestic matters. The weekend is fortunate for modest Inequalities.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of increased income, but there may be changes among those who depend upon salaries.
 Children born on this day should be practical and energetic, Those subjects of Taurus, the Sustainer usually are self-reliant and suc- cessful.
 Catherine the Great, Empress Of Russia, was born on this day 1729 Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Jerome K. Jer- ome, writer, 1859 William Camdon, English antiquarian, 1851.

A Poor Investment
(NeW York TimeSl

(New York Times).
 The grass roots convention" which was held at Macon Ga several months ago professed to represent Southern Democrats in seventeen States and endorsed candidate for the Presidency In doing it entered the field of national politics. and the Senate Lobby Committee is accordingly within it's rights in inqur ing into the sponsorship of the movement and the fi- nancia contributions made to it. It finds that an organization with headquarters in Texas, known as the Southern Committee to Uphold the Constitution was behind the Macon convention. One of the exc cutves of this organization testified that it was he who caused be printed circulars containing picture of Mrs Roosevelt going Negro meeting With Negro escort on either side of her. This picture was sold for distribution in the South by the Texas Elec- ton Managers Association which has offices in the same building as the Committee to Uphold the Con- stuton and in close proximity to it. The same picture was reproduced in a publication distributed to every delegate at the Macon convention.
 The Senate committee also ascertained that among the contributors whose gifts helped to finance either number of prominent members of the Republican party in the North and a number of prominent members of the Liberty League. No doubt these gentlemen acted good faith not suspecting either that the gathering at Macon would be revealed the synthetic affair which proved to be- that it would be used incl dentally as vehicle for appeal to race prejudice in the South But looking back the results achieved they must now find very little satisfaction in what they got for their money.

 It is something to think about start clean States where they have zoned cities with their re- strcted residential areas building requirements and other regulations which make toward modern cities They have been crusadng for the city beautiful in the States for years and have made great strides in that direction. How is Juneau going to compare in the of those travellers with their home towns for cleanliness and general attraction?
 Right now with cleanup week upon good time to start cleaning the buildings of their winters dirt and putting on some paint dressing up al- the city; painting homes cleaning yards and all the rest of the work which makes town look at tractive rather than gloomy.
