The most potent Of these early
minor parties was the Populist or
Peoples Party which appeared on
the national political stage In 1892
The platform OF this party bitterly
attacked corporations and trusts and
demanded that the government be

The Citizen regrets to have to
state that it will not be possible
to give out the returns of the
fight between Jack Dempsey and
Gene Tunney tonight. This is
because we could not secure the
wire service which is disabled by
the hurricane. All efforts were
made to secure a wire from the
Western Union and the American
Telephone company. They state
that only two or three wires are
available and they must be used
for emergency relief work. The
Athletic Club has secured the best
available radio set in the city and
will endeavor to give returns in
that manner. The Country Club
will also receive returns by radio.

West Fire Department, conducted
temporary test of the new
deluge set recently purchased by
the city council for the fire de-

three pumping engines this deluge
set will be made to deliver 1000
gallons of water per minute. The

the part of the speech that clicks The most blatant

There is no doubt at all that the consistent
actions of some big shots in business have given
color to every passionate word in this deliberate ap-
peal to passion. Those actions salt on the lips
of old wounds out here. The proposed "gangng up
was itself challenge to class passion. A great
leader has elected to accept that challenge to the
joy of every advocate of class hatred here and in
Russia.

leader of our whole people and makes him chief Of

for reading the historic AAA de-
cision, Roberts did not once refer
to the text.
This amazing memory has won
Roberts many a case. He tells one
story brought against the Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit Co. by
German baker who claimed to
have been injured by a street car,
but refused to show his leg. De-
spite the bakers refusal, the jury
sustained the claim, and Roberts
lost the case.
Many years later, Roberts had
a similar case for Philadelphia
Rapid Transit in which a woman
claimed damages to a leg when a
street car started suddenly, but
would not show her leg.
Roberts had before him a strike
list of jurors who had been in &C
cident cases, and among them he
recognized the German baker,
who, years before, had refused to
show his leg. Acting on the the
DRY that jurors will never let
others get away with what they
have done themselves, Roberts let
the old German remain on the
jury.
He won his case.

Wallace Forecast

WHEN news OF the Supreme
VVCourt's AAA decision reached
Secretary Wallace, he continued
talking unconcernedly to a caller.
But 10 months ago he wrote in
his book the following statement,
which sounds as if it had been
written this week:
81 would not mind seeing the
processing tax and acreage control
abolished in 1886, if we have
something better to take its
place.
But unless we have built up
greatly increased purchasing pow
er by reducing tariffs, or unless we
start loaning money outside the
United States to enable foreign
nations to buy our surplus, I am
afraid that dropping the process
ing tax and acreage control in
1886 would result, with the aver
age run of weather, in a repe-
tition within a few years of the
1882 situation"

Future Rosy Indeed

QUOTING from the company reports of Mr..
Y Benets firm for 1882, this book says that thanks
to the superiority of Hotchkss guns two factories
were working at full capacity and order books were
sufficiently filled to promise continuance of this
satisfactory situation for considerable time, more
over, new outlets foreseen.
Mrs. Benet is interested in the Colonial Union for
Wounded Men and holds medal of reconnaissance
of the Duchess of Vendome
The machine gun firm was founded in France in
1867 by Benjamin Beakley Hotchkiss, native Of
Sharon, Conn.,, who found himself without a market
when our own Civil War closed
The war of 1870 gave Mr. Hotchkiss his real start
in France with factory devoted to the production
OF cartridges He died in 1885, the year that young
Mr.. Benet arrived to start his long and valuable
career in the service of his fellow men, The climax
occurred his f1ftieth anniversary, when the en-
ployes of the machine gun factory presented him
with hfe-sized portrait of himself.

1t is curious that politicians, whose typical cam

OF miracles should attempt to make against
Roosevelt on broken promises. Others might feel
justified in complaining but surely not politician.
Didn't Hoover promise grass in the city streets
If Roosevelt was elected?
Political campaigns always are notorious for their
loose talk. In 1923 we heard that if Al Smith was
elected the Pope would move to Washington and live
in the cathedral that being built for him under
the gpise of Episcopal edifice.

proceeds to undertake some high-powered defarling
of them by talking about the "dirtiest political
largest slush fund record" neither pub
lie conscience nor private scruple" hitting be-
low the belt"
1t looks as if political reporters had better look
up the libel laws before they go to work in this
campaign.
