"Them proSpectorS with their

lose it for good if they reached
there. Why the hell did you have
to shoot up the place? Them SOL

Suddenly POGO understood. Two
Way and Cardowan had stolen the
dust from their own men, run for
the fort, and then threw the blame
on POGO so that the troopers
would drive the two gangs back
into the hills. He had his mouth
open to explain, but he saw it was
unnecessary. Instead he said,
Where are they now, these
prospectors?"
Joe shook his head. Il oughtn't
to tell you. You never used to do
things like that, POGO. Leave 'em
be-"
You will tell me, though" POGO
said quietly.
Joe nodded in resigned agree

Joe shrugged. 1.-THE captain

"A guard?" POGO repeated
slowly. If it had been anyone else
but Two-Way who had done this
POGO would not have believed it
but this had the unmiStakable
mark of TWo-Way'S brainWork-

touched the cluster of buildings in
back of the Hannigan'S frame
saloon. Dropping back over the
ridge, POGO rode the crescent to
its end. When finally it flattened
out his horse was in a clump of
screening cottonwoods. He dis
mounted and walked through the
back lot.
Joe Hannigan had two rooms
built on the rear and one side of
his saloon, and it was for there
POGO headed. The door was un-
locked. Stepping inside, he al.
most bumped into a Mexican
woman, who was cleaning up the
bedroom.
She looked at him suspiciously,
Get joe" he said.
The woman was used to this
kind of visit, and she went out
through the door that led to the
small kitchen and through an
other that let on the rear of the
saloon.
In a moment a man stepped
through the door to the bedroom.
He was in ShirtSleeveS, fat, bald
headed, with wary small eyes. He
was wiping his hands on a soiled
apron. but when he looked around
the room and his glance fell on
POGO the movement of his hands
died. POGO observed his slack
jaw, which stayed that way only
a second. Then Joe turned around
and locked the door.
POGO said div. ITS no stickup.

What's after? Did they

Joe.
POGO Scowled. Il don't get it."
You don't know a bunch of

"Still?" POGO said. They've got
a long memory"
You expect to bring bunch Of

fort in the middle Of the night
and have them forget it by
morning?"
POGO said, "Slow down and say
that again."
Joe repeated himself, adding,

Taft and Bricker
Victory RebukeS
NeU Deal

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 9 (I.N
S0.-The greatest Republican
landslide in Ohio in more than a
decade left both the victors and
their vanquished Democratic foes
stunned today by it's immense
proportions.
In electing Robert A. Taft (R.)
Senator over Senator Robert j.
Burkley CD and in choosing
John w. Bricker (R.) over Demo
cratic National Committeeman
Charles Sawyer to succeed Martin
L. Davey CD as governor, the
pivotal Buckeye State turned its
back not only upon the New Deal
but upon John L. Lewis CIO as
well.
Then to make their decision
crystal clear Ohio voters elected
the entire Republican State ticket
with the exception of one Supreme
Court candidate, gave the COP a
majority of the "a congressman
and apparently gave Governor
elect Bricker Republican Iegisla,
ture.
With only 80 of the $3.50 pre-
cincts unreported, Taft'S plurality
stood at 163,039 and Bricker's at
1890 votes. The vote:
For Senator (RD, 1918,
1856; Bulkley CD, 1,050,297. For
governor-Bricker (RO, 1928, ,082;
Sawyer CD, 1,107,092.
Both the New Deal and CIO
issues were clear cut. Bulkley
asked to be returned to the Senate
because he had voted for ma
jority of New Deal measures.
Sawyer, too. was in accord with
the Roosevelt Administration and
was supported both in the primary
and general election by the CIO.

Nebraska

LINCOLN. Neb. Nov. 9 U.N.S0
Sure of gaining at least one seat
and possibly two IN Congress,
Nebraska Republicans today
viewed with satisfaction the close
race being given Gov. R. L. Coch'
ran (D.) for reelection.
It appeared the governor, who
trailed until Omaha came to his
rescue with a smashing majority
would win a third term, but in
close voting. After Omaha was
added. he had a lead of $4,000
over Republican Charles j. War
ner, who had counted 120,717
votes to the incumbent's 138,416
Trailing third was Charles w
Bryan, Independent, former gov
ernor and brother of William Jen
nings Bryan, with 1895.
The form-reversing Republican
congressional slate was riding the
wave, with George Heinke, mill
tant AAA foe, forging ahead OF
Henry Luckey, incumbent Demo
crat, in the first district by 1000
votes and another incumbent, C
C. Binderup, trailing Republican
Carl F. Curtis by 1000 votes in
the fourth district.

C. A. Bottolfsen, small-town news

standard-bearer, is Idaho's new
governor-elect. He defeated for.

Ross resigned as governor two
years ago to run unSuccessfully
for the Senate seat of William E.
Borah. He was the target of a
grand-jury investigation indicting
many of his State appointees on
charges of graft and fraud.
D. Worth Clark, young Demo

Committee we're reelected.
Both ranking members Of the

the Democratic primary.
Thomas D'AleSandro, the young
Democrat who beat Palmisano,

Committee.
The committee loss was William

at large from Delaware, serving
his first term in Congress, who
lost to Republican George S. Will

only member of the House.
OTHERS IN DOUBT
Still in doubt were the commit
tees two Indiana memberS-Vir-

active in local affairs.
Four other Democratic men,
bers were still in doubt-Laurence

Bigelow, Ohio; Leon Sacks, Penn

Jersey.
Merlin Hull (PD, of Wisconsin,
also was doubtful, as was Paul

New Jersey provided a political
paradox today as the Republican
voters down a New Deal endorsee
for the United States Senate de-
spite a record vote-getting per
formance of the Hague machine.
BARBOUR VICTOR
Mayor Frank Hague's lieu
tenants in populous Hudson county
rolled up a greater vote for William
H. j. Ely, 100 per cent New Dealer,
than it did in the 1886 guberna-
torial race for A. Harry Moore,
whom it gave a 10000 majority.
Nevertheless, Ely was badly
whipped for the United States
Senate by former Senator w. War
rem Barbour, Republican. With
only 216 precincts missing, the
vote was:
Barbour, 740,851.
Ely, 658,775.
MARY NORTON WINS
In addition, the Republican
sweep encompassed the greater
portion of its national ticket.
Eleven congressional seats were
won by the Republicans, including
four berths previously filled by
Democrats.
The latter, however, retained
Mary T. Norton, chairman of the
House of Labor Committee; Ed
ward j. Hart, and William H. Sut-
phin as members of the New
Jersey congressional delegation.

NECK-AND-NECK

The race between Senator Gill
lette and former Senator Lester
j. Dickinson, Republican keynoter
at Hoover's denomination, was so
close no positive conclusion could
be drawn, but Dickinson appeared
to have an even chance to win.
One thousand, four hundred and
ten of the 2,447 precincts, includ-
ing only those completed and re
checked, gave:
Dickinson, 234,595.
Gillette, 231,118.
Even should large najorities in
the unreported part of Gillette'S
home section put him over, as
seemed somewhat likely, the
Democratic defeat in Iowa was
enough to wipe out almost every
thing they gained in six years of
success.

Alvin L. Aubinoe. manager Of the

enter the building business for himself,
it was learned today.
Mr. Aubinoe was associated with the

For the past seven years he had man.

BUILDING LOANS

Associations Lend That Sum
in First Six Months of
Current Year.

June loans brought the total credit
disbursed by savings, building and
loan associations for the. first half
year. up to 100000, the United
States Building and Loan League esti-
mated today While the first six
months lacked sl37 900 900 of coming
up to the record for the same period
of 1887, there we're factors In the
lending of the last few months which
tend to Offset the lower volume.
Most important. according to Nor
ton Bodfish. Chicago. executive vice
president of the league. is the fact
that June saw the savings, building
and loan associa tions pouring more
funds directly into the pockets of the
building trades than they have in any
month since last September. New
construction loans totaling $50, 0,l58, 800
and repair and modernization ad-
vances of S6.5l6,400 did the trick.
Not only was the actual amount loaned
for these purposes larger but also a
higher percentage of savings and loan
total credit went into these channels
than has been the case in any month
since before the great depression.
Steadily creeping up since February,
the proportion of total savings. build
ing and loan financing going into new
construction in June was 3l.4 per
cent. This compares with 29.9 per
cent June a year ago.
Home Ownership Progress.
Loans to help people buy homes
have also staged another increase in
their relation to the total lending
done by the institutions. Mr.. Bodfish
said. The league estimates $30.158,8 800
went into purchase loans in June.
amounting to 3l.5 per cent of all the
money lent. The month, he points
out, saw considerable progress in home
ownership, some 5000 families bor-
rowing to build new homes and 1850
to buy those already existing.
For all purposes the thrift and home
financing institutions loaned an esti-
mated $95, ,726,600 in June, a gain of
39 per cent over May. a slightly larger
percentage of increase than was regis
tered from May to June, 1887. Volume
was still, however. considerably less

More than 10000 dwelling units
were provided in buildings for which
permits were issued in the urban areas
of the United States during the first
half of 1885, according to estimates
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
made public today by Secretary
Frances Perkins.
Two of the nine geographic divisions
of the country provided more dwell
ing units during the first half of the
current year than during the corre-
spending period of 1887. Miss Perkins
said. Gains we're shown in II of the
48 States, despite the economic recess
sion.
The report says:
IN the urban area as whole,
approximately l per cent more dwell
ing units were provided during the
first half of the current year than
during the corresponding period of
1887. The most pronounced gains
were shown in New York City, where

Two of the city-size groups, the

SEEKS BETTER DESIGN

The Federal Housing Administration
has a major concern in improving the
design of small homes which as rule
have been built heretofore without the
services of competent architects.
One means Of accomplishing this
objective has been through series
of meetings involving the F. H. AS
architectural experts and groups
chiefly interested in small home build
ing-contractors, builders. bankers and
