MYRTLE BEACH
 BANS GAMES
No Gambling Edict Issued After Conference of
 Officials
Special to The Democrat)

Milford, Aug. 25.-All games of chance at Myrtle Beach were order ed closed last night for the remain der of the summer season, following confab with Town Prosecutor Omar w. Platt and Superintendent of Police Mortimer B. Fowler. Only last Monday night New Haven police issued a similar order to con- cessionaires at Savin Rock.
 While it was stated at police headquarters that all games of chance were included in the official order, actually only the nine conces- sionaires operating wheels at the beach were told to stop soliciting by detail of local officers headed by
 Sergeant Stanley OHara.
 The antics of "Suzy," the trained monkey who draws money winners names from hat at the beach, were not curtailed by police.
 Wheel games have been operated here for years. About four years ago as the result of state police de- mands, the upright wheel with pointer was abandoned in favor of one tilted at slight angle on which a rolling ball stopped at the win ming number. These had been n- censed by local authorities and termed games of skill" Now, how ever, all will be closed down.
 Some of the concessionaires an- nounced they would open basket games" tomorrow night as game of skill" substitute for the wheels at the beach, but 1t is believed here that these also will be short lived as similar games were ruled illegal in a test case in West Haven re- gently and have been banned at Savin Rock on the order of States Attorney Samuel E. Hoyt.

By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE,


EMPORIA, Kans., Sept. 16-The
nine Democratic Senators who defied
President Roosevelt on his court-pack-
ing plan have won over his bitter op-
position in Democratic primaries. It
is obvious that the President cannot
punish his enemies.
The survival of Senators Lonergan,
Van Nuys, Gillette, Adams, McCarran,
Clark. Tydings, Smith and George
gives any Democratic Senator license
to defy the President. Moreover, the
President cannot reward his friends.
Only three Senators this year owe
their primary nominations to his in
fluence-Pepper Of Florida, Barkley Of
Kentucky and Thomas Of Oklahoma.
In Tennessee Senator Berry, who
was appointed Senator in haste at Mr..
Roosevelt's suggestion to support the
court bill, went to defeat. So did SEN
ator Pope Of Idaho. The other Demo-
cratic Seniors who have been renom-
mated did not have his formal blessing.
Excepting the three. Senators Pep
per. Barkley and Thomas, the Presi-
dents blessing has been curse. More
over, his progressive friends in the
House of Representatives from Texas
and Virginia have been defeated. But
his personal popularity Is not impaired.
Only his political power either to help
his friends or to punish his enemies
in the Democratic party is gone-defi-
nitely gone.
Third Term or Third Party,
BY this purge and its failure, he has
advertised the fact that he cannot
control the Democratic convention of
1910 for any Roosevelt Democrat. On
the other hand, his personal popularity,
unless it is broken by a fight with his
Democratic enemies in Congress next
year. may give him the Democratic
nomination for third term, even II
he cannot, by laying on of hands, pass
the apostolic succession in the Demo-
cratic party to any friend.
1t may be said safely today that the
President has lost his political power
and prestige this summer and that
he is faced today with either a third
term or third party. He can control
