McNutt Comes to WASHINGTON
A WordPcture of the Man Once Called Hoosier Hitler
By WoUe


Back home in Indiana, the staunch
supporters of Paul Worries McNutt be-
lieve his appointment as Federal security
administrator will be big boost in his
ambition to become the Democratic
presidential nominee.
They see in the job an opportunity for
the handsome, silver-haired former Gov
ernor to demonstrate further what he
can accomplish as an administrator and
to be constantly in the limelight between
now and the convention.
Paul can't be stopped now." said one
of the McNutt-for-Pres strategists.
But to his enemies-and he made
plenty OF them while he was Governor
Mr. McNutt is still the Fascist man on
horseback" because of the dictatorial
powers he won and used as Indiana's
chief executive.
Norman Thomas once called him the
"Hoosier Hitler" That was when Gov.
McNutt sent troops to Terre Haute dur
ing general strike.
Mr.. McNutt said that under his oath
OF office it was necessary for him to
send troops to keep order.
The American Federation of Labor, in
its national convention, October IA, 1885.
adopted a resolution by the Terre Haute
delegation censuring Mr.. McNutt
for "un- American and unconstitutional
usurpation of power in declaring martial
law. which, in effect, has put the Ma
tional Guard in a position of strike
breaking agencies"
The troops remained at Terre Haute,
paralyzed by the strike, for several days
until the trouble was settled. There was
no serious violence.
The White House Next?
Law school dean national COM
mander Of the American Legion Gov
ernor OF Indiana .. high commissioner
to the Philippines :. and now about to
become key figure in the New Deal
these are high spots in the career of this
native Hoosier, who will be 4S years old
next Wednesday.
Now the question-one that has been
asked often about him in the past-is,
Where next?"
The White House" comes the answer
in the booming voice of big Frank M Nc
Hale, one-time Michigan football player,
now 1ndiana's Democratic national COM
mitteeman and manager of the currently
active campaign to make Mr.. McNutt
the partys 1910 presidential choice. Mr..
McHale has ordered full speed ahead in
the drive to line up McNutt strength at
next years national convention.
Some politicians suggest that maybe
Mr.. McNutt's selection for the security
post was "sidetracking' device
He wasn't sidetracked when he was
sent to the Philippines" the McNutt
friends retort
What manner of man is this McNutt?
Charming, capable, a humanitarian
and born statesman, say his friends
A political opportunist, supreme ego
ist and ruthless, say his enemies, while
conceding that he possesses rare per-

next turn In the Lone Little Path
around which Peter could not see
from where he sat. Just as Slow
Poke reached this turn some one
came trotting swiftly down the Lone
Little Path past the bramble tangle.
A sharp face peeped in and grinned
at Peter. 1t was Reddy Fox. Peter
was very thankful that he had crept
into the bramble tangle instead of
going on down the Lone Little Path.
For the time being Peter forgot
all about Slow Poke the Turtle.
Reddy pretended that he was going
to try to creep into that bramble
tangle after Peter. Peter made a
face at Reddy. He knew that Reddy
wouldn't run the risk of tearing that
red coat OF his. Reddy didn't. He
told Peter what hs would do to hira

If ever he caught him and then
trotted on down the Lone Little
Path. He was half way to the next
turn when Peter remembered Slow
Poke. Peter gave a great start.
"Reddy Fox will see him and
catch him." exclaimed Peter. THAT
fellow can't run If he tries! It's too
late for him to hide now and I am
afraid, dreadfully afraid, that some
thing is going to happen to him."
Watching from the bramble tan
gle Peter saw Reddy Fox quicken
his steps. Then he saw him crouch
and spring forward on Slow Poke the
Turtle. Just what happened then
Peter couldn't see, but he noticed
that Reddy made no attempt to bite
Slow Poke. Instead he slipped .

and simply looked at Slow Poke for
the longest time. When he grew
tired of doing that he amused him.
self by knocking Slow Poke about
as Black Pussy the Cat used to play
with ball. At last he grew tired of
doing that and disappeared around
a curve in the Lone Little Path.
Peter could just see Slow Poke
lying on his back at the turn in
the Lone Little Path. He didn't
move. Peter watched for a long
time and still he didn't move. At
last Peters curiosity could stand
it no longer. He was sure that by
this time Reddy Fox was far away.
Creeping out Of the bramble tangle
he hurried down the Lone Little
Path where Slow Poke lay. BY this

Slow Poke the Turtle continued
on his way down the Lone Little
Path through the Green Forest and
Peter watched him. Peter would
have liked to walk along with him,
but to have saved his life he couldn't
have moved along as slowly as Slow
Poke did. Peter nearly choked with
laughter every time he thought of
how Slow Poke had said that he
was in hurry and actually
seemed to mean 1t.
Peter went over to q little bramble

safety and look for some distance

Cars Standardized

Under new regulations issued in
Berlin the 81 types Of passenger au-
tomobiles formerly manufactured in
Germany have been reduced to 30
and the 113 types Of trucks to 10.
Types of motorcycles have also been
ordered curtailed. Germany has
developed extensively automatic ma
chimes that can be handled by semi
skilled labor as in the mass pro-
duction factories Of the United
States. Large-scale output methods
are used by only the three COM
panies which make 80 per cent of all
cars manufactured in Germany
Lower manufacturing costs are ex-

time Peter was anxious. He was
sure that Slow Poke hadn't moved
and he greatly feared that it was
because Slow Poke had been hurt.
When he reached Slow Poke he
stared as If his eyes would pop out
of his head. Slow Poke was on his
back, but there was absolutely MOTH
ing to be seen of him except his
shell. That shell was different from
the shell of Spotty the Turtle, with
whom Peter was so well acquainted.

understood now why Slow Poke was

Short Circuit Caused by
Static in Body of Woman

FAIRFIELD, CONN.-For a mo-

thought she had been struck by
lightning as she operated her
switchboard at the local telephone
exchange.
But a repairman explained it this
way: Mrs. Rasmussen had been
working at typewriter during an
electrical display preceding a thun-

static in her body that when she
returned to the switchboard she
caused short circuit. She felt 80
volts course up her arm and nearly
toppled from her chair.

Lambs Break And

Lambs at New Seasons
Low; Cattle are Mostly
Steady; Top Hogs 1920.

South ST. Paul, Mimi, August %,
1899. Spring lambs suffered a Csc
to soc break this week, according to
the Federal-State Market News Serv-
ice, and slaughter ewes and feeding
lambs ruled weak to Csc lower.
Washington spring lambs were plenti-
full and on Tuesday several cars of
strictly good and choice kinds made
$7.85, while natives bulked at $3.50,
and culls sold down to $500. Com
mon to choice ewes turned at $1.5O
to $275, most native feeding lambs
at $3.50 to $500. Several cars of good
and choice Sc to rs pound Washing
ton feeding lambs cashed at SITS to
$8.10 this week.
Supplies of slaughter cattle for two
days this week were sufficiently small
to hold prices about steady. Weigh
tier steers were slow sellers. Thin
cows showed touch of strength.
Stockers and feeders were in largest
supply of the season but held steady
due to broad demand. Most fed steers
and yearlings cashed at $500 to $500,
with yearlings and lightweights up
to 1925 frequently Common and
medium grasserS got $3.50 to $3.50.
Medium and good fed heifers made
$3.50 to S875, choice heifers up to
1925, common kinds $500 to $500.
Beef cows bulked at $500 to $500,
good cows ranging up to $3.50 mainly.
Gamers and cutter cows sold at $3.50
to S4.75. Good sausage bulls earned
S6.25 to $3.50, common and medium
bulls S525 to $500. The bulk of
common to medium stocker and feed
er steers sold at $500 to $3.50. Good
to choice western type steers earned
$7.75 to S8.75, good steer calves up
to $500. Dairy COW trade held steady.
Medium and good springer cows
cashed at $500 to $500. Strictly
good strongweight cows suitable for
shippers were quoted above $4,000.
Hog values followed an erratic
course but some downturns were reg
istered despite the curtailed receipts,
as shipping support continued rather
light. Compared with Friday last
week, butchers scaling 270 pounds
and down figured 10c to Csc lower
while heavierweights showed little
change Packing sows changed very
little although spots were 10c off.
Tuesdays sparingly paid top of $500
was given for choice around 21O
pound weights on shipper account
while the practical high was $6.15
on 200 to $50 pound averages. Light
sows 800 pounds down brought S5.25.
