DWELLING DESTROYED BY FIRE

Rising Sun firemen were called to
Lombard about four o'clock Saturday
afternoon, where the dwelling occu-
pied by Roscoe Kennedy was on fire.
The family were moving at the time,
and had taken a load of furniture to
their new dwelling place. On their
return the house was discovered to be
on fire, the flames already having
made great Roadway, and the struc-
ture was doomed before the arrival
of the firemen, who devoted their eff
forts toward protecting nearby build
ings. The dwelling was totally de-
stroyed, together with what furniture
remained in it at the time. The ORR
gin of the fire Is not known

for his electors to 81, 499, 267 for
all Democratic candidates for Con-

President Roosevelt led by $685.
$50 votes.

In the same States Republican
candidates for the House, he said,
polled 1891, 900 votes to $780,.
1877 for Governor Landon.
Including North Carolina and
Virginia, Harding omitted other
solid South" States because the
full vote in those States rarely Is
cast in an election.
In New York, Harding said,
President Roosevelt received 1,112,-
900 more votes than Landon but
the Democratic congressional can
didates outran their Republican
opponents by only 788,425.
A striking example Of the Presi-
dents strength, he said, is found
in Massachusetts,. President Roose-
welt outran Landon by 174,103
votes, but Democratic congress

their Republican opponents by
only 1O0,154 votes.

of party cooperation" following
visits with their constituents dur
ing the short congressional recess

Although Minton and Logan

This group includes Senators

DRAYTONF LAYS
new DEALERS

Charles D. Drayton, prominent
Washington attorney, member OF
the Board Of Education and presi-
dent of Children's Hospital,
launched an attack on the policies
of President Roosevelt in a talk
before the Cosmopolitan Club last
night.
He termed the present wave of
prosperity a synthetic" one and
declaring that Fascism is already
a part of the national govern
mental program.
Drayton called upon Congress
to screw up its courage enough
to forget the billions which they
have heedleSsly, Shamelessly and
unconstitutionally placed at the
Presidents disposal and which he
ruthlessly uses, in large part, at
least, for political purposes. The
speaker concluded his speech with
the following declaration:
Gentlemen, it is time for q
new Declaration Of Tndepend-
ence, for a tyrant is a tyrant
whether called President or
King!"

A detailed study of the official
results of the last election, Hard
ing says, shows clearly that the
present Congress came into office
on Mr.. Roosevelt's coat tails.
The President, he said, outran
Democratic congressional candi'
dates in the last election by over
100000 votes in 80 States.
PRESIDENT LED
Republican congressional candi'
dates, on the other hand, he
found ran 100000 votes ahead
of the party's standard bearer,
Governor Alfred M. Landon OF
Kansas.
THE record shows that the
present Congress is a 'coat-tail
Congress" said Harding There
is nothing else you can make
out of it. And the President
would defeat Congress in con-
test.
The opinion, Of course, Is
based upon the idea that the
President has not slipped and
Congress has not gained since
the last election"
Harding said that figures for 80
States, including only two South
ern States, show that President

Logan, however, forecast passage
Of both measures after a lengthy
fight. and joined other Senate
leaders in declaring that reborn
party harmony insures enactment
of the bulk of President Roose-
velt's legislative program.
SOUTH VS.. NORTH
Logan, recalling previous fights
over anti.lynching and wage and
hours, said he expected to find
the South opposing the North
when the two measures are again
debated in the Senate.
Pointing out that the South has
lured industries from the North
by offering cheap labor, and that
anti-lynching has always drawn
the wrath of the Southern block,
Logan said:
There is bound to be some
pretty spirited debate over these
two measures and in all pro
liability they will divide one sec
ton of the country against the
other, but I believe they will
both be passed"
