BIG DOINGS
AT 9Th REG.
A R M O RY
NOTED SPEAKER WILL
ADDRESS MEETING

All roads lead to the Eighth Reg
iment Armory next Sunday, Octo-
ber 25th, 1886, at P. M, when the
South Side Democracy stages the
greatest demonstration in the his
tory of Chicago politics.
Prominent party leaders led by
United Senator James Hamilton
Lewis, Congressman Arthur w.
Mitchell, Mayor Edward J. Kelly,
State Auditor Edward Barrett, and
a host of other Democratic candi-
dates will address an estimated
$4,000 enthusiastic Democrats.
AS an added feature attraction,
Congressman Mitchell has secured
the Honorable Emory e. Smith, an
outstanding Colored attorney,
graduate Of Yale University and
golden-voiced speaker, who will
blast the opposition with compell-
ing argument.
Joseph F. Tittinger, ward COM
mitteeman of the second ward and
his Second Ward Regular Demo
cratic Organization are sponsoring
this mammoth mass meeting. There
will be ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS
in CASH PRIZES offered.
This meeting is expected to break
all precedents for attendance. All
of the United States is watching
the second ward in an endeavor
to guage the attitude of the COM
mon man. The forgotten man.
whom the Republicans forgot. but
whom President Roosevelt remem-
bered.
Starving and, destitute humanity
care nothing about balancing the
budget. Hungry and homeless peo
pie want food and shelter. And that
is what President Roosevelt is
giving them.
That is why the second ward to-
gether with other communities is
determined to make an aggressive
fight to re-elect the GREATEST
HUMANITARIAN this nation has
ever known.
Critics of the New Deal have
nothing constructive to offer the
American people. They rave about
balancing the books. Will they bal
ance the books at the cost of hui
man lives? They rant about the
huge debt being piled upon the
shoulders of future generations. If
they are allowed to starve the pres
ent generation to death, there will
be no future generations.
Amedricans of all degrees and
stations are thankful for man
like Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
and intend to stand shoulder to
shoulder on November 3rd to in
sure his reelection to the presi-
dency of the United States.
FORWARD WITH FRANKLIN

A certain noted temperance worker
was strolling through one of Washing
toms parks, and noted a man stretched
out on the grass, his hair tousled and
face flushed. Concluding that the man
was under the Influence of alcohol, he
paused to chide him gently:
"My friend, did you ever stop to think
that if the price of drink of liquor
had been put out at compound interest
at the time of the Queen of Sheba's
visit to Solomon, it would now amount
to 1921, 1871

Politicians Wondering #
 Corporation Tax Increase
 WiU Be Harmful for FOR
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Experienced politicians are having special difficulty determining wheth- CT MT. Roosevelt will gain or lose politically by his proposal to increase the tax on corporation incomes.
 To his benefit most of them count the fact that he has made a sweep ing gesture toward budget-balanc- ing; the fact that he has put for ward an issue involving only mini mum of risks on constitutional grounds; and the fact that his ef- fort can be explained by Democratic campaign orators as blow at "the corporations"
 That, however, is only one side of the argument His opponents are seeing to it that the other side also is presented to the public.
 They raise the question whether the corporations" will not prompt ly pass the tax along to the rank and file of individual income tax payers, who also are voters. They point out that most of the corpora tions" are comparatively small con- cerns, some of them merely incor- porated local firms back in the home town. They attack the plan as a blow at thrift, and damper on in- dustrial expansion just when things are picking up.
 There is, consequently, no gen. eral agreement among the politici- ans as to the net result, nationally, in terms of votes.
 New Kind of Issue
 In one political sense, MT. Roose- welt has struck out in new direc- tion
 For three years he has been fos- tering a succession of what are con- monly called social" readjustments. Nearly all of these projects have en- countered constitutional challenges, and talk of removing the barriers by constit u t O nal amendment ap- pears to be approaching a dead end.

 Thoroughly Aired

 Robert A Kannviden, who was on the committee, was on the witness stand and had been questioned by both defense and government attor- neys when Trial Examiner Charles w. Hope endeavored to determine from Kannviden just what author ity the committee had.
 3 Factions at Meeting
 The witness explained the meeting in Moose Hall was made up of Union men, non-union men and members of the Juneau Mine Workers As- sociation. The committee was named from the floor and instructed to call on l.. H. Metzgar, General Superin- tendent of the mine, and find out if he would not delay opening of the mine a few days to give more time in which to epdeavor to reach settle ment It was also to confer with the Trustees of the Union and determ- inc if it were possible to reach an agreement.
 Kannviden said MT. Metzgar re- ceived the committee and said that was the kind of committee he had been wanting to meet. He told them, the witness said, that had they come week earlier he might have been able to delay but that it was too late at that time as he had all ready planned to reopen and that there were men ready to go to work Kann- widen said the Superintendent ex- plained he had postponed opening two or three times at the request of various groups and that he could not delay further.
 Called on Trustees

At this point the Trial Examiner asked Kannviden if the committee felt it had the right to bargain collectively with MT. Metz gar, and the witness replied that it rep scented all the employees
