promises to furnish his bond without any expense

WHERE EXPERIENCE COUNTS

Mayor La Guardia of New York City, Repuh-
lican says 'the success of the Democratic party
the success of the Republican party does not
concern me-" He goes on to state that the cleo
ton choice this year is strictly between the indi-
vidual qualifications of the two major candidates.
Why he supports Mr.. Roosevelt; He says, SIS be-
cause the office of President of the United States
is the most difficult in the world-Roosevelt has
had experience in government, Willkie has had
none; Roosevelt knows government, Willkie does
not" He also says: In these times we cannot af-
ford to trust man inexperienced in government
to perform the fpr-reachng duties of President of
the United States-to direct the intricate ma
chinery of domestic government and to meet the
fateful decisions of foreign affairs. You can not
learn how to run government out of a book.
You cannot learn it in the office of utility
company. Never since nation became world
power have the American people taken chance
with an untried, inexperienced candidate for the
highest office in the land"
Look over the list of presidents and see how
much experience each of them had. Mr.. Willkie S
experience is that of the average good lawyer
who specialized-not in the general practice Of
law which would bring him in touch with all
classes of people and their problems, but in one
only-the utility monopoly field.
John L. Lewis president of the CIO, has turn
ed his back President Roosevelt, because the
president refused to accede to his excessive de-
states he welcomes the support of Mr.. Lewis
which very inconsistent to say the least
since Willl<ie yelled dictator at the President
Now he takes to his bosom, Lewis, who got peev-
ed because he could not exercise his dictatorial
policy against the government. Let's not forget
that it was Governor Davey who put an end to
this same Lewis sit-down strikes in this state
Lewis says he will resign as head of the CIO if
Roosevelt is elected. We can conceive of no
stronger argument among the many arguments
for voting for Mr.. Roosevelt. Lewis defeat
would be the best thing that ever happened to or
ganized labor and for the country in general. Ac-
cording to published reports the Republican Ma
tional Committee paid $65,000 for the broadcast
ing of Lewis speech. One of Lewis big yelp was
that Roosevelt will lead us into war, but he neg
Iected to state that Wke has approved every
major point in the Roosevelt foreign policy. It
seems evident that Willkie has made promises
which Lewis could not extract from Roosevelt

From the financial page of leading city papers,
it is noted that the banks Of Ohio are pronounced
the soundest in their history, and the same cond-
tions exist in other states How were they rated
eight years ago during the Hoover administra-
ton, when more than 10000 National banks and
many state and private banks closed, with losses
running way up in the billions to the depositors?

pianist, combined forces in q recital
for the benefit Of the Finnish re-
lief at the Sulgrave Club.
" The large and distinguished au-

Mrs. Plum's fine singing of three
groups of songs, the second being
entirely devoted to works by the
great Finnish composers, Palmgren
and Sibelius. In the final group,
Mrs. Plum was assisted by Howard
Mitchell, first cellist of the National

Torrance of Liszts "Andantino
Capriccioso" as last number of q
group which included Melartin's
'Legenda No. l." Sibelius' Caprice"
and Liszt's ''Un Sospiro." The scin-

which called for an encore, Mr..

Fujiko Katsutani of Honolulu es-
tablished the national record in Ha-
waii last July. Helene Rains of New
York, the dethroned champion, won
the title last April in Patty's home
town, but failed to qualify for the
record try today.
In other events Gloria Callen of
New York took the 100-yard back
