COLUMBUS, Sept. 26 Charging
that his Democratic opponent made
his first payment to CIO leaders
Tor their support by ignoring in the
Democratic platform the sit-down
strike and other issues, John w.
Brieker, Republican candidate for
governor, in radio speech over an
Ohio network, Monday night, called
for public rejection of the Demo
cratic platform and ticket.
Mr.. Bricker declared that the "con-
structive parts OF the Democratic
platform were copied from the Re-
publican platform" and added that
by contrast, the Democratic plat
form is significantly silent on the
question Of sit-down strikes"
Some of the CI0 leaders who
boast that they nominated Mr.. Saw
yer were present at the Democratic
convention Mr. Bricker continued
'"They did not want the Democratic
platform to condemn Shutdown
strikes The more conservative dele
gates present argued that the plat
form should condemn such un-
American tactics. Their arguments
were brushed aside and Mr.. Sawyer,
speaking through the Democratic
platform, made his first payment to
the CI0 leaders for their support
Mr.. Bricker named a group Of men
who, he charged, have long been
bosses in the Democratic party and
who, he said, had previously been
repudiated by Charles Sawyer, the
Democratic candidate for governor.
These very bosses stood in the
Democratic convention hall when Mr..
Sawyer Historically attempted to
convince the. people of Ohio that he
is not boss controlled" Mr.. Bricker
said. Today, in exchange for their
support, he is apparently ready to
permit those bosses who became
mysteriously rich to become myster-
iously richer
Declaring that he was nominated
by united party, Mr.. Bricker said |

age problem: What to do when the
little woman runs for office
With women seeking jor National

States, the problem has come to the
fore during this falls primaries. Many
Of the candidates are widows or
bachelor girls, but several wives and
mothers have joined the lists.
The husbands, lacking guide posts to
point their course, have met the situa-

Their roles range from co-cam-

When Inventor Thomas A. Edison's
daughter decided to seek Republican

Mr.. Honeyman expressed pride in

Il think she's done a good job But
he never speaks for her in campaigns
or takes any direct part in her po-
litical life. Mrs. Honeyman now is
seeking reelection.
She's the politician" declares the

The Columbus Symposium cleared

this type Of experiment, which the
scientists prefer to call extra sensory

The symposium found that seeing
reflections of cards on polished table
tops, recognizing them by touching
the deck, seeing the imprints of face
figures on the backs Of the cards and
hearing Unconscious whispering" all
have been made impossible by methods
OF card calling which still score un-
believably high averages.
T. N. Greville, invited mathema-
tician from the University of Michi-

wrong with the mathematics used
to show that these high averages are
millions and billions of times more
than could be expected from chance.

MARYLAND GUILTY
Of N0D|VERS|0N
All Of 81 Highway Receipts
Used for Roads-Virginia
Diverted But $4,000.
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the ASSoClated PreSS.
Maryland was one of the few States
In the Nation which used all of its
1887 highway receipts for road pur-
poses while Virginia spent only $35, 900
of its road-tax funds for non-high-
way purposes. the United States Bu-
reau of Public Roads said yesterday
Maryland highway funds distributed
last year totaled $l4,441 900 of which
$8,564 900 went for State highway
purposes, $5,265,o00 for local roads
and streets and S612,000 for collec-
ton and administration, the Bureau
announced.
Virginia's total receipts were $22,-
$4,000. The $35,00O taken for non
highway use compares favorably with
other States which used an average
Of 1872 cents of each highway dol
lar on non-highway purposes. The
1887 non-highway figure also repre-
sents a decrease of 2l2 cents per
dollar for non-highway expenditures
over the previous year for Virginia.
Virginia's net total receipts amount
ed to $22, ,475,000, while the amount
distributed was $4,000 larger be-
cause of undistributed funds and lag
between accounts of collecting and
expending agencies
The cost of collection and admin
istration in Virginia was set at $685.
900 and costs of construction, mainte-
nance and administration at $2O,-
$4,000, including s7,000,000 for county
roads under State control.
The department classified Virginia's
expenditures as follows: State high
way police, $205 900; service of high
way obligations. 1903 900, making a
total expended for State highway pur-
poses of s21, 1,537 900 In addition, ex-
penditures for work on county and
local roads out Of State imposts to-
tailed s2e70
OF the s35,ooO applied for non-
highway purposes in Virginia, $1,000
went to aviation and $4,000 to the
general fund in the treasury.
In connection with Maryland's un-
usual record the bureau said: High
way user taxes have been justified
on the grounds that they are needed
' for improvement of roads over which
vehicles must travel" 1t added there
was no prospect that sufficient funds
to correct all dangerous highway con-
ditions could be provided in the i'm
mediate future.
