ly practical point of view, they
think they have gotten more out

likely, to get from Landon.
There is plenty of comfort for
Republicans, however. 1t has yet
to be demonstrated that either a
political or other movement of or
ganized labor is likely to attract
general support outside labor
ranks.
The popularity of Calvin Cool

breaking the Boston police strike

WJASHINGTON.-F W politi-
w clans have any more doubt as
to where the bulk of the labor
vote is going.
The question most at issue is
whether, when organized labor
alignS itself rather solidly behind
one presidential candidate, there
won't be sufficient adverse reac-
ton from farmers and other mid
dle-claSs voters to offset the effect.
A secret poll of the II members
of the American Federation of La
boris executive council recently
showed that all but two favored
endorsement of Roosevelt by the
council.
This was especially significant,
as the council includes but one
member of the Committee for in
duStrial Organization, whose lead
ers have been foremost in the pro-
Roosevelt activities of Labor'S
Non Partisan League.

cally certain to refrain: from such

THE TOURIST BUSINESS
"COMES. BACK" .

II has been a highly satisfactory oulil-
mer season in Hendersonviile and through
out the surrounding country. No doubt the
statement applies with equal truth to all
the resort sections in the mountains, out
The Times-News only speaks with assur-
ancelof its own area of business. 1
The crowds in Hendersonville have been
the Ihrgest since the real estate boom days
ten years ago. Motor car traffic is, OF
course. much larger than at any time dur
ing the boom, due to the vast increase IN
the General use of automobiles. This TACT
may tend to make the crowds appear larg-
er than at any time in the past, but estl-
mates of conservative residents confirm the
opinion that there have been past seasons
in which the, Summer population was as
large as at present. The increase in motor
car Traffic has added to the congestion on
streets and highways and frequently the
traffic has been so heavy as to slow down
the movement of motor vehicles on the
mostlused roads and streets.
The statement that it is a satisfactory
season may be repeated and the applica-
ton made to residents and visitors. The
season is satisfactory to those engaged in
the business of entertaining visitors. Pa
tronage has been so heavy that the hotels,
boarding houses and homes opened for the
seasoh have not been able to accommodate
the peSple. Hundreds, perhaps thousands,
have been turned away from the leading
places-of entertainment in the town and
county; and the patronage has been suf-
ficient to afford share for every class Of
entertainment offered visitors.
Certainly, it is a satisfactory Summer
season for all who are directly concerned
in the entertainment of visitors and should
be for all lines of business, as all are profit
ing from the increased volume of business
and the circulation of cash due to the
spending of the tourists and Summer resi-
dents. ...'
1t is also, we think, satisfactory season
for the visitors. On the whole the weather
has been favorable; there is ample evil
denee of community and countrywide in
terest in taking care of the needs of visitors
and providing varied entertainment for
them. There is certainly no reasonable
grounds for complaint on the part of any
of our visitors as to the reception given
them and the sincere efforts made by our
people to maintain the reputation of Hen
Jacksonville and this section as a tourist
center ..... ,'...- ....
Just now the peak of the season appears
to have been reached in the number of peo-
pie here, with the prospect that this condi-
ton will continue beyond the end of the
month, extending beyond Labor Day. At
ter that will come the usual Autumn tour
list traffic, thousands of people in other sec
tons of the country having learned that
this season offers strong competition to the
Summer in its attraction of visitors. e.,
