Oath on Bayonet

When a Nigerian native enlists
in Britain's Royal West African

swear allegiance by touching his
tongue to his bayonet, the age-old
custom of such pagans who have
no holy book, like the Bible or the
Koran, on which to- take an oath.

Throughout the week bullish
forces were spurred by the good

rorts a number of large automo-
tive plants were getting ready to
reconvert for civilian manufacture.
Low-priced performers were not 90
much in evidence and numerous
rivotals took yer the advancing
stride.
The associated press 6o-stock
average was up a of a point al
56.4, a new top since Oct. Q, 1897,
and on the week showed a net
gain of g of a point. 1t was the
6est upturn since June 16.
Transfers totalled 855,36O shares,
compared with 645, $40 last Saturday
and were the largest for a short
stretch since June II.
Prominent on the push were

BLANSFIELD IN
REPLY TO Clio
Former State Senator Will
Run for Congress if
Union Insists

In answer to charges brought by
the C. I. o. union that If he be-
comes candidate they will oppose
his nomination, Atty. Michael A.
Blansfield and former state senator
today stated that my candidacy as
5th congressional nominee has al
ready been announced" by the C.
I. o. If they insist I run I will.
However, never have I directly in
dictated that had any desire to be
a candidate yet the union has made
an issue of the matter.
The c. o. leaders two weeks ago
openly challenged any proposed
candidacy Of Mr.. Blansfield al
though the latter had not made any
statement to the effect that he
would run. The union charged the
former state senator will bring a
labor batter" and opposed to their
causes while the ex-senator charg-
ed that a review of his record would
dispute such charges.
1t did not seem likely at this time
that Mr.. Blansfield would receive
the endorsement Of the local Demo-
cratic party as candidate from the
9Th congressional district. Reasons
for such lack Of endorsement were
not given as it is reported the for
mer senator would accept such a
domination If granted Mr.. Blans-
field would. If nominated Oppose

much trouble with zurita because
