driven to Twelfth and F SITS. N. E.
AS they arrived there Edwards
said Thompson struck him over the
head several times and then shot
him. He grappled for the gun
and as they struggled and twisted
around Thompson was shot in the

were the Italian Ambassador and
Nine. Suvich, the Polish Ambas-

the Canadian Minister and Lady

this demand to the Supreme Court
to do, "its part to make democracy
succeed" startled his immediate
and radio audience.
Mr.. Roosevelt anticipated this
effect. He thought since he was
going to make such a challenge it
would be wise to keep his voice
cool and i1npersonal.
Some Of the Presidents friends
who knew of his plan to deliver
bombshellS gently were surprised
that IN certain passages his voice
was even slightly raised. They
think that unconsciously he put
more of his intense feelings into
the delivery of his speech than he
had planned to.

Just how quickly this mania for

Today there are even more base ball
