the Kansas meeting.
Il am more convinced than ever
that President Roosevelt will be re-
elected after talking with these labor
officials from 81 other states" Com
missioner Fletcher said although
quite a number of these labor com
missioners were Republicans and
from normally Republican states,
most of them frankly said they be-
lieved most of the labor vote in their
states would go to President Roose-
welt and that he would without doubt
be reelected. Commissioner of Labor
Durkin of Illinois told me that in his
opinion there was no doubt about IL
linois going for Roosevelt.
Il stopped in Missouri for a day
or two to visit my brother there, and
he told me that without doubt Mis-
souri, would give Roosevelt a major
ity of at least 100000, despite the fact
that most of the newspapers in the
State were supporting Landon. In
fact most of the people out there in
the middle west are expecting almost
all of the states there except Kansas
to go for Roosevelt including Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Da-
kotas. While big business and the big
corporations are fighting him, the
rank and file of the farmers and of
the people who work for their living
are backing Roosevelt one hundred
per cent.
"The fact is, Governor Landon is
going to nave a hard fight right at
home in Kansas, since a lot of peo-
pie there are for Roosevelt In a
newspaper poll being conducted by
one paper in Topeka while I was
there, Landon had 1887 votes and
Roosevelt 963-only 224 votes apart. I
thought that was pretty close for
Landon's home town, in his home
State.

PROCTOR ADDRESSES
THE ROTARY CLUB
Tells of Rotary's Ethics in

Rev. Z. K. Proctor, head of the Ok

evening before the Rotary Club at it's

His talk was most enjoyable, relat-

Two new members were taken into

I angora suit. she nung ner Hight
blue crepe evening frock on
padded, perfumed hanger beside
her beige silk sports dress, shook
the folds from her tailored negli-
1gee, slipped trees into her slippers.
Then she washed her face, combed
her hair and sat down on SATIN
covered slipper chair to do little
thinking.
Who was Garcia Cushing?
Obviously she was John Sayre's
hostess. She was thoroughly ia
nliliar with his house. So familiar
with his house-and with him
that she had arrived the night be-
fore, changed his arrangements,
ordered lunch. Well, wasn't that
a hostess privilege?
It was her complete air of pro-
prietorship that brought a frown
to Alix's brow and cast long
shadows over her expectations.
"Well," Alix got up and shrugged
her S h oul ders philosophically,
That's that. And good thing it
is! There's nothing like nipping a
foolish idea in the bud"
1t was an Indian summer after
noon, an Indian summer night.
The harvest moon was luminous
painted disk, red, warm and huge
rising slowly against a painted
drop Of sky. The tall trees
silhouetted blackly against that
circle diminished in size as the
glowing ball rose higher and big
ger as though drawn up by a celes-
tial stage-hand.
It created magic. A special
kind Of magic that brought the
dancers from the floor, from their
tables to drink in it's beauty, to
forget that they were at country
club dinner-dance. To gaze with
that never ending wonder at that
age-old October splendor.
Circling the floor in John Sayre's
arms, Alix wished such a night,
such a moment might never end.
This was a moment snatched from
time. A borrowed moment.
The man at the piano ran up
the scale and the clarinet player
answered the note. The dance was
over.
They threaded their way through
the crowded tables to the one
where their house guests sat.
Alix would have avoided it if it
had been possible. It wasn't, be-
cause she and John arrived at the
table together and Carola's voice
carried beyond them. She was
saying:
o.. he didn't even tell me about
her but Clarkson (Clarkson was
Sayre's butler) says she works at
the agency. Some sort of
stenographer or something. Heaven
only knows why she's here"
Alix felt hot, furious blood rise
from her heart to her throat and
flood her cheeks. Then it was
gone and her eyes darkened in her
white face.
From the depths Of her humilia-
ton, voice cried out in Alix "You
little fool! You brought it on
yourself! Run away"
She was calm enough when she
picked up her purse and murmured
excuse me-, as she walked away
from the table,
She heard footsteps at her heels
and hurried. She could hear moth
ing else for the angry pounding in
her ears.

The better class Negroes here, how
ever, are Democrats and vote the

eral elections, and these are expected
to vote for both Hoey and Roosevelt

which maintains contact with the AS
ISOLATION for Advancement of Colored
People, in New York, which refuses
to go along with the older Negro lead
ers here and who switch about from

which they think will do the most for
them, informed political leaders here

College students and alumni here that
Clark is the man and the only man
that gives any orders to Anderson and
that so long as Hunk keeps on the
good side of Dave his job is safe. Sew
eral are remarking that if Anderson
would spend more time coaching his
players and cultivating their con-
fidence and regard instead of Gull
tivating Clark, that State would have
a much better football team.
1t has been more or less conceded
for years that Clark has been the
virtual football dictator at State and
has selected it's coaches almost single
handed. But according to reports now
going the rounds Clark also scouts"
for many of the players and helps
them go to State by making it pos
sible for them to get loans from the
college loan fund, or finds jobs for
them that will pay their way through
school, 1t is maintained that this loan
fund is administered almost solely
by Clark and that it is hence neces-
sary for the coach to stand in" with
Clark in order to get the players he
wants. It is this alleged strangle-hold
control of the loan fund which gives
Clark an almost absolute dictatorship
in State College football, many OF
the students and alumni maintain.
But Dave Clark has his friends and
defenders here as well as those who
dislike and oppose him. His support
ers maintain that he has rendered an
invaluable service to State College
4oo Il hot sxxrif
the interest he has taken in it and the
money he has spent in scouting for
good players and getting them to
come to State, it would not have made
as good a showing as it has in the
past ten or fifteen years. These also
maintain that Clark is not trying to
exercise any remote control over
the State football squad and Coach
Anderson and point out that while
other alumni are already yelping for
Hunks scalp and berating the team
for not beating Davidson and Wake
Forest, that Clark has taken these
two recent defeats in a fine spirit
without "cussing out" either the team
or Anderson.
With regard to the criticism that
Anderson has brought in too many
"outsidertf' from Other states, and
that he favors these players over the
native born North Carolina players on
the squad, friends of Clark here point
to the interview given by Dave to
Jake Wade in The Charlotte Obser-
yer yesterday in which Clark pointed
out that State has not more import
ed players from other states than
either Carolina or Duke and that
many of the outstanding players on
the State squad are from North or
South Carolina.

Her first glimpse of Sayre's
house was through the autumn
trees, white house with a tall

low, orange and red lace of foliage.

fringe of the gathering to where
the other girl was standing.

the merest glance. She got little
more from Alix.

John. I hope you don't mind"

her hand. Colonel, will. you and
Kelley take the west wing? Mike
and Macy, you get the bridal suite.
I'm in my usual room and, Miss
Carey, you're in the blue room at
the end of the corridor"
They went indoors. Following
Garcia Cushing who offered to
show her her room, Alix had a
jumbled impression Of the great
airy rooms filled with flowers, the
broad staircase, the halls as wide
as her own living room.
"Here we are" Garcia said,
opening the white door that led to
a high-ceilinged room that was to
be Alix's. "Your bath is on the
left. Here's the bell if you want
anything. BY the way, leave a
note on the telephone table before
we go out to tell the maid what
you want for breakfast. We have
trays on Sunday morning. One of
the maids will be along to unpack
your things in a few minutes.

which surprised Alix. She didn't
know that Garcia was always
casual.

CHAPTER IL

GARCIA CUSHING had been
in John Sayre's life nearly as long
as Kim had been in Kathleen's.
Johns father had been her guar
dian and, when he died, John had
accepted the responsibility. It was
John who had to take her to task
for spending more than her allow
ance, who once had to go to Italy
to prevent her from marrying a
bogus nobleman. 1t was John to
whom she turned when her various
indiscretions, innocent enough in
their way, became problems for a
man to solve.
Garcia had become an accepted
fact in his life and the two of them
were drifting toward the future
with Garcia at the helm. He was
fond of her but he was not blind to
her feminine faults.
He rather wished that Garcia
and Alix were not going to be I'M
der his roof at the same time be-
cause he had no intention of ex-
planning Alix to the other girl.
Garcia was as surprising in her
way as Alix was in hers. She
might take the younger girl under
her wing and everything would be
all right. John sighed and hoped
it would be.
AS for AliX, turning the pages
Of magazine and seeing nothing
on anyone Of them as her train
bore her through Long Island, she
was so completely anticipatory
that nothing could have spoiled
the weekend in view for her.
She looked about her on the
train, wondering which of her fell
low passengers were members of
the Sayre party. There were a
number of them who got off at her
station.
She stood uncertainty on the
train platform with her one bag at
her feet. Then she saw him.
He was in the center of a group
of six or eight, peering anxiously
over their heads. When she saw
that he saw her, she waved her
hand gaily.
There you are" he said giving
her big smile, and picking up her
bag. he piloted her to the group.

big coat to one of them.

and AliX found herself talking

addition to the members who represent
the farmers, and are especially watchful
for the protection Of the farmers relief
demands, great many members from
the cities feel under special obligation to
those who endorsed their declarations for
more generous relief policies. The mayors
who under Mr.. La 0uardia were mar
shaled in Q recent protest against relief
cuts were probably correct in feeling
that their petition would be received sym
pathetically by Congress. In this period
Of rapidly returning prosperity. the votes
OF the relief interests carry far more
weight than academic argument over the
need for budget balancing.
Final decision on the amount to be
appropriated for relief in the next session
Of Congress rests, Of course, with Con-
gress. But the responsibility will be
pinned, in reality. on the President. Any
failure on his part to demand . retrench-
mont policy in relief will doubtless find
Congress taking the sky as the limit for
relief appropriations. The only hope for
retrenchment lies in . vigorous recon-
mendation for such . policy by the
President.
