Bullets or Ballots" Opens FOur.Day Engagement
 Saturday Afternoon

Edward 0. Roblnson's greatest screen success since Little Caesar" heads Q twin feature entertainment et Warner Brothers State theater Starting tomorrow.
 The picture is Bullets or Ballots" and Robinson has been surrounded by Q stellar cast including Joan Dlondell, Barton MacLane, Humph- xey Bogart, Frank McI1ugh, George v. Stone, Henry O'Neill and numer- ous others.
 m this picture Robnison has . role as strong as that of Little Caesar" although he Is neither crook nor glnman, but one of the coldest and most hard boiled detec- 1ives of the New York police force.
 While dealing with gangsters and their political and financial famiflcations, the picture is really Q story of facketeering run on Q scale never dreamed of before, the higher-ups in the game, who never come out from cover, being Q banker, . big politician and a WN&AsAAy SOSAGty AlhAhs 4klCy IIhVG the power to crush any opposition to their rackets. by which they mulct millions from other business men, until Robinson, as "Detec- tive Johnny Blake" becomes one of them and exposes the whole scheme.
 The story was written by a man who knows all about racketeering, Martin Mooney, the New York police reporter, who exposed 1t for his paper and took Q 30 day jail sentence for contempt of court rather than reveal his co1hdential sources of information.
 The companion feature will be ~Nobody's Fool" smart, swiftly paced farce comedy starring Ed- ward Everett Horton. He is always q delight and his present role gives splendid scope for his unusual comedy methods which show his versatility.
 { The wisecracking Glenda Far Tell, an excellent foil for the amusing Horton, portrays the char acter with 6 pert sense of humor. Cesar Romero is entertaining as a modern highbinder who thinks he Knows all the answers. Warren Hy- lner, the fellow who plays the eter- nal clown, is q valuable addition to tho cast.

ABOARD LANDON TRAIN, EN-
ROUTE INDIANAPOLIS. Oct pa.
OUPl.-GovcrnOr Aft NJ. LandOn
pressed his campaign through
Oklahoma and Missouri last night
with a bid for the votes OF ''rca"
Democrats and an indignant
charge of "ScmrilOuS misrcpresen-
tation" of Kansas school condi-
tionS by member of the prcSi-
dents family.
Swinging toward a major speech,
probably on foreign affairs, at In
diarapoliS tonight, the Kansas
governor followed up an Okla
hcma City appeal for Democrats
to battle Shouldcr-to-shoulder with
Republicans against the New Deal
by 4 speech at Tulsa replying for
the first time to person attacks
upon me.
when utterly untrue charges
are openly made by a member OF
my opponents immediate family,
my indignation knows no bounds,
the governor said. The reference
was said to he to statements made
by James Roosevelt, eldest son OF
the president, in a recent address
The malicious" charge, the Re
publican nominee said, had been
made that I5S schools have been
closed in Kansas and S.557 chill
drcn deprived of common school
education; and that the Kansas
budget had been balanced at the
expense of the teachers.
IL state deliberately that any
one who makes that charge is gull
~ of pcddling a lic," Governor
Landon declared. "Not single
boy or girl in Kansas has been oe-
privcd of the educational advan-
tages that are rightfully his.
The Republican nominee Vigor..
ously asserted that the closing OF
schools in Kansas had been by the
people of rural districts where 1t
was considered sensible to con-
solidate small schools so that the
children could be provided with
better educational facilities. -,
I'm regard to school teachers
salaries. he said there naturally
were reductions in all types OF
salaries and wages during the de-
nrcssion but that in the last two
wears Kansas teachers pay hau
bccn slightly increased. The mat
ter of teachers salaries; nc en-
phasizcd. is entirely in the hands
of local school boards.

"Kansas ranks fifth in hteracy'
