Politicians And The Third Term

On the face of it, the rush of local political bosses
to demand third term for President Roosevelt is
something of minor miracle. Politicians like Mayor
Frank Hague of Jersey City and Mayor Kelly of Chicago
have little liking for the New Deal They care moth
ing for its ideals theories of government. Many of
the very bosses clamoring for Mr. Roosevelt to
run have been investigated likely to be inves-
hgated by Mr.. Roosevelts Department of Justice on
charges of income tax evasion civil liberties viola
tions. It hardly makes sense.
But it makes good politics. All the bosses know
that If MIR. Roosevelt decides to seek the Democratic
nomination he will be able to win it in a walk That
would leave any of them who meanwhile had backed
Garner or another candidate out the well known
limb It's much smarter to back the President now
and await developments. Any necessary Jump can be
made after Roosevelt has made up his mind
good many of the bosses really want Mr.. Roose-
welt to again They feel that he is the most
powerful votegetter in the Democratic pary-not that
they greatly concerned for the party outside their
baiwicks They feel that with strong candidate
heading the ticket nominee for the Presidency, all
other Democratic candidates, including local men,
win more easily. In other words they want TO hitch
their local machines to the coattais of the strongest
possible candidate They like their jobs and want to
keep them.
The big questions of the minute don't bother us as
the big answers of the moment.

are planning on carrying umbrellas.

LaFollette's Resolution on
Presidential Third Terns'

Under these circumstances, young
Senator LaFollette. who did not like
Mr.. Coolidge any way, brought in a
resolution expressing the sense Of
the senate as In opposition to the
third term for any President. I be-
neve I will print that text. It ought
to be valuable reading matter. The
resolution read:
Resolved. That it is the sense Of
the Senate, that the precedent es-
tablished by Washington and other
Presidents Of the United States, in
retiring from the Presidential office
after their second term, has become
by universal concurrence a part of
the republican system of govern
ment; and that any departure from
this time honored custom would be
unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with
peril to our institutions.
The chief reason why the resolu-
ton, so bitterly debated in 1928, is
recalled is that there are about 20
senators who voted for the resolu-

time. Some Of the number, how

Checking On The Facts

We're getting little sick and tired of the ballyhoo
ground out in many out-of-State newspapers and at
least few national magazines about the socaed
ynching in Worcester county. In the first place. the
incident is than two weeks old. The people
of Maryland, who certainly should be most concerned
about the matter longer the least excited about
it. Second and important, the lurid accounts
did no credit to the reputation of the Free State.
The Objectionable stories painted interesting but
highly inaccurate picture of hotblooded Marylanders
ready to take the law into their hands any time
crime was committed Here is opportunity for
Marylands newly formed publicity office to get in
good work. If our memory be trusted, Maryland
has an excellent record, comparatively speaking in the
number of crimes of violence committed Rarely, aso
do our citizens attempt to do the laws work. and we
are absolutely unfamiliar with the quaint custom of
murder and counter-murder praciced by gangsters
in of the nations metropolitan "centers of cul-
ture."
Nor have we found it necessary to form vgilante
committees such those which operate in certain
Western states And due to unusually low crime
rate, our State police chiefly engaged in traffic
duties However they proved in the recent Worces
ter county affair, Colonel Ober's boys well pre-
pared to handle almost any situation promptly and
efficiently.
Let critics in other states be given these facts
and allowed to digest them Like all the rest Maryland
has its weak points, but awessness is not of them

CONTROL RECLAIMED
BY WANDER MEIER
Recent TWO-Hit Performance
May Send No-Hit Hero
Back To Reds Next Year

: INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 15.-R-
No-hit Johnny Wander Nicer, the
Cincinnati Reds problem child OF
1910, is pitching himself back into
the big league.
The National league baseball
champions sent the ~24-year-old left
handler down to Indianapolis of the
American association, with whom
they have a working agreement,
late in June to regain control.
He's been getting better ever
since. And the other night he
came close to achieving once
more that feat that two seasons
back won him a place in base
balls hall of fame.
Wander Nicer in 1888 pitched two
consecutive no-hit, no-run games
for the Reds-beating Boston June
II and Brooklyn June Is - to do
what no major league hurler be-
fore him ever had done.
Monday night, for the Indians,
he turned in a two-hit perform
ance against st. Paul here, strik-
ing out IL and walking only four
to win II to 2. He wen
seven and two-thirds innings with
out giving up a safe blow.
He starts against st. Paul again
here tomorrow highland the fans
are waiting to see what will hap
pen.
Gince he came. to Indianapolis,
Wander Nicer has worked in 10
games. He's won five and lost
one. His only defeat came at the
hands of Louisville, S to 2, July 81.
He has averaged a little less
than five hits and five bases on
balls and just over seven strike
outs a game. In SO 1-3 innings.
he's given up 48 safeties, struck
out "a and walked 43.
His biggest trouble has been a
blister he raised on his hand in
putting a twist on the ball. Be-
cause of it, Manager Jewel had
to pull him from a game with
Minneapolis July "a after four in
nings. The blister bothered him
again Aug. 4 against Louisville,
but in spite Of it he struck out IS
men in the six frames he worked.

CHICAGO, Aug. Is. - Up The
stumbling Cincinnati Reds fell be-
fore the puzzling slants Of Claude
Passeau today. losing a ! to 0 de-
cision to the Chicago Cubs in the
series opener before 6,944 specta-
tors.
Passeau allowed only five hits
in winning his 18th game of the
season, no two coming in the same
inning. Paul Derringer likewise did
yield only five hits, but the Cubs
paired two of them in the fourth
inning for the games only run. 1t
was Derringer's third straight loss
as he tried for his seventeenth vic
tory and it was the league leaders
ninth defeat in their last IA games.
The Cubs produced their r n
when Bill Herman opened with a
single, went to second on Gleeson's
sacrifice, to third on an infield
out and scored on Hank Leiber's
single to center. The Cubs also
threatened in the first inning when
Herman tripled with one out. But
Gleason bounced out and Nichol-

The defeat left Cincinnati still

which also lost, as did the third

BROOKLYN, Aug. 15.-RNThe

Playing raggedly, the second

LOWELL OR SHOAF
TO HURL CONTEST
Lefty Cardwell To Pitch For
Au-Stars In First Of
Two-Game Series

Playing a brand of baseball that
has produced their best win streak
this season in recent days, the
Wilmington Pirates will play the
Warsaw All-Stars at Legion field
tonight in the first of a two-game
series.
Lefty Cardwell, a Coastal Plain
league pitcher who was with Kim
ston and Snow Hill earlier in the
season., will be on the mound for
the visitors.
Bert Kite, manager of the Buc-
cancers, said last night that either
Eddie Lowell or Jack Shoaf will
start on the mound for the To-
Gals.
The Warsaw lineup will be as fol-
lows: West, third base; j. Prid.
gen, right field; West, shortstop;
Harlan, centerfield; R. Pridgen,
second base: Frederick, catcher;
Apple, first base; johnson, lett
field; Cardwell, pitcher.
Shortstop West played with
Louisburg college this past spring
and Third Baseman West and j.
Pridgen have played in the Vir-
ginia league until recently.
The Pirates lineup will probably
be: Davis, catcher; Moore, first
base; McKeithan, second base;
Smidt, shortstop; Stefano, d
base; Carter, Trogden and Hines,
outfield.
Sunday afternoon the BUGS will
play the All-Stars in Warsaw in the
second game of the series.
Next Wednesday night, the locals
will play the Leland club of the
Cape Fear association. Due to a
disagreement no Leland player
participated in the All-Star-Pirates
game Wednesday night and con-
.sequently the Brunswick nine has
challenged the BUGS for a tilt. 2
