President To Go on
Radio November q

HYDE PAR K, N. Y, Oct. II
G.N.SO-Three weeks in advance
of the off-year elections, President
Roosevelt was back at his Hudson
River family home today mapping
out final plans for an aggressive
participation in the New York
State campaign.
Vocally and pictorially, the Pres
ident intended to exercise his pre-
rogative as q voting resident of
New York to push the Democratic
ticket headed by Governor Her.
bert H. Lehman; Senator Robert
Wagner and Representative James
Mead.
LEHMAN TO CALL
Tomorrow, Lehman, who con-
sented to run for fourth term as
governor only at the earnest be
hest of the Democratic organiza-
ton, was due at Hyde Park for a
conference on general strategy. It
was anticipated the newsreels and
still photographers would be called
in to record this meeting as visual
proof that Mr.. Roosevelt indorses
the governors candidacy, despite
the latter's near break with the
White House over the Supreme
Court reorganization issue.
The President intends to go
much further on the night of No
vember 4, when he will go on
the air from his mothers estate,
to give New York voters his rea-
sons why Lehman should be re
elected and Wagner and Mead
sent to the Senate.
HOPKINS GUEST
This radio talk will be directed
at New Yorkers, but the Executive
plans to make his remarks of
such general interest" as to ap-
peal to all voters marching to the
polls on November 8.
WPA Administrator Harry Hop
kins sojourned with the President
today. The President and Hop
kins discussed encouraging indica-
tions in the Federal relief situa-
ton.
House guests also were two old
friends of the family, just arrived
from Scotland-Col. Arthur Muir
ray and his wife.

heavy artillery of the Free States s
political armies today as Governor
Nice and his associates prepared
to close their campaign at Fred
erick tonight, and Attorney Gen
eral O'Conor and the Democratic
campaigners opened up in Garrett
county for a three-day program
which will take them over the
same ground as their opponents.
Governor Nice, who rested at
Hagerstown over the weekend
while being treated for throat
ailment, declared as he left for a
tour of the county:
I'm going through with TINS
campaign if they have to carry
me around on a stretcher."
HE RESTED SUNDAY
He had remained in secluSlon

From there the COP campaign

TYDINGS IN WEST
Mr. O'Conor, Senator Tydings
and their associates planned TO
snend the entire week in western
Maryland except for a single ap-
pearance in Annapolis THURSDAY
night.
with hundreds of Democratic
voters on the suspect list" IN Anne
Arundel county, the result OF Re
publican efforts to purge the regis
tratior records OF "Vacatlon
voters" and others who, according
to Governor Nice. have been IL
legally registered, the quarrel BE-
tween the riva, political organiza-
toins was expected to reach It's
climax tomorrow-revision day Ii
all of the counties.
Under Maryland law, all SuS-
poets must be notified by election
officers that their eligibility to
vote has been questioned. Unless
they present themselves on revi-
sion day to offer proof OF their
right to vote their names are
stricken from the voting lists auto
matically.
CHARGES FLY THICK
Frank S. Revell, collector OF
customs for Maryland and Demo
cratic boss of the county, charged
today that Governor Nice and
other Republican leaders are at
tempting to capture the county
by the device of striking enough
Democrats from the voting lists
to give the COP a majority.
The Republicans answer is that
most of the voters challenged
have been registered Illegally,
and in hundreds of cases are not
even residents of Maryland. In
a denunciation of vacation vot-
ers" last week, the governor
charged that Democratic politi-
clans in Annapolis had registered
large numbers of summer resi-
dents who maintain year-round
residence in Washington and use
District of Columbia tags on their
cars.
5000 CHALLENGED
approximately 1000 voters, most
of them Democrats, have been
challenged, and before they will
be allowed to vote must offer ac-
ceptable evidence of their right
to do so.

Are You a 'Canny' canner2
nv yOSEPHINE C. BOND.

Do you get 100 per cent returns
from your canning efforts? 1t isn't
always enough to do ''lots of cam
ming" You may have 500 full jars
in your cellar at the end of the sea-
son, but if 100 of these leak be-
cause Of cheap or old rubber rings,
you are only getting an 80 per cent
return on your labor.
One of the greatest mistakes
the housewife Gamer can make, I
have found, Is to yield to the mis-
taken clerk who substitutes "un-
known brands" for advertised
brands produced by reputable
manufacturers. Substitution may
be- all right at times, when an
item can be used up in a short
time. But when it comes to jar
rings-play safe-buy recognized
brand. ~
z There is a lot of difference in
jar rings. The rubber used in
them is compounded, or mixed,
in much the same way that the
batter for a cake is mixed, and,
like cake batter, unless the recipe
is tested and the ingredients Of
the best, the results will be dis
appointing. Inferior jar rings will
"check" or crack and allow air
to seep into the jars.
