Speches by Peters, Van Nuys, McNutt, Mrs. Flynn and ethers. Get your mind off petty things this week by tuning in for the world series. The fellow who can't get a kick out of that ought to see a doctor. Democratic headquarters are open and you are invited to call at any time. Help roll up a big majority. There are just six weeks left in the campaign and it ought to be lively. These are fine days to enjoy, bnt don't forget that we are getting closer and closer to that period when a few tons of coal or a few w loads of wood in the bin will come ir mighty handy. The Herald Examiners straw vote being taken in every state in the Union up to date shows eleven states for Hoover and thirty-seven for Roosevelt. The total vote is 83.666 for Hoover and 166,652 for Roosevelt. __ Maurice Early writing for the ' Star, says the prohibition question is waning in Indiana as the campaign progresses. After all its by no means the big issue. It's wheth- * .er or not you want a new deal. That's what Mr. Roosevelt promises you ami what the country needs. The McNutt meeting will be held •in the Catholic school auditorium and those in charge of arrangements say they will be able to seat 'more than a thousand in the main room and take care of as many more in the gym where the speeches can be heard over the amplifiers. It's the shopping season of the year and the folks are buying what they need. The merchant who wants his share of bushiness should ask tor it and the very best way to do that is through this paper. Advertising rates are reasonable—about the cheapest thing you can buy—and bring quick and satisfactory results. Mr. McNutt says he will reorganize the public service commission. the state highway board and the conservation department and

with a view of better service and a saving of expenditures. That sounds good and those are certain- ! ly the Important branches on which to work.

Committees for the McNutt meetr(' ing will meet tonight at headquarters to complete plans for the big event It's going to be a great op- — I 01 ening If hopes of those in charge '.'■sre fulfilled. Mr. McNutt is one of 01 the great orators In Indiana and” "Ithe Democratic candidate for gov0| o,ernor. His message will be one of interest to every voter. R. A. Stucky, chairman of the reception committee has named ai bslf dozen vice-chairmen to assist | him and these have selected a hun-1 dred or more men from all over the county to serve. In addition a i number of women will be made l members of this committee to see that everv one receives the proper i welcome. ' i The administration leaders who I thought they could mix it up with I Floyd Gibbons are taking a lot of seeks on the chin just now as that I old fighter gets warmed up. He I says he never voted the Democratic I I ticket in his life and like Mr. Hoo- ■ ler hasn't voted much as he has! been away most of the time, but [ i he adds he is going to vote this I i year and yon can guess how by , I reading what he thinks of the "ins." i The local chapter of the Red i I Cross has issued an appeal for I clothing for men. women and chil- . Iren, to he used during the winter. : [ They are preparing in every way thev can to take care of the needy j . 1 (and with co-operation, will be able ■ I to do so in such manner that none i i need suffer.

Political writers who have foli lowed Governor Roosevelt on his trip through the west declare that ], 'he has more than made good and ! will receive the electoral votes!

P. leaders have quit , expecting him to make a break on I which they could build their cam-; ! paign. take the attention away from ■ the past three years and put the i I Democrats on the defense. He has! , hand’ed several big questions and . done it so well that matters are' worse for the Hooverites. He will swing back to New York this week, attend the state convention there' ■ and then come hack to the middle j west for a few days, then close his 1 i campaign in the east. Jim Farley, still refuses to concede a single I state to the Republicans which is a new attitude for Democrats in a 1 national campaign. o « —♦ Household Scrapbook —By—i ROBERTA LEE Oilcloth Window Shades J Some p rsons prefer oilcloth I window shades to cretonne, as itj I keeps out the sun better.

GANDHI FAST IS ABANDONED CONTINUED EROM PAGE ONE fasting that his life was in danger. Ganuhi began his hunger strike ! protesting against tire British set- , tlement of the communal question. He claimed that it would tend to widen the gulf between castes. The government agreed to abide by an agreement which the Hindus might reach among themselves. "As the depressed classes and other Hindus believe their scheme j is adequate, the government will recommend to parliament in due j course the adoption of the clauses of the agreement dealing with 'representation in the provincial legislature in place of paragraph . nine of the corfimunal award." an India office communique said. The communique noted that the | Hindu agreement dealt with certain subjects outside the commonlai award hut considered that the high caste Hindus definitely had pledged their intention toward the (depressed classes. The questions | of franchise and election of untouchables to the central legislature. both outside the scope of the communal award, are being considiered by the government, "but no I -pfece-jneal conclusion can be reach- 1 K-d." I "This does not imply that the government is against what is pro-( posed in the agreement," the communique said. j The statement caused no surprise here, and was regarded by some I politicians as a "yes and no" ans-; wer to the Mahatma. o DEFENSE ASKS ACQUITTAL IN LOTTERY CASE CONTINUED EROM PAGE? ONE , incriminating evidence against i Davis was the tracing of a check I fro $15,300. alleged to be part of I the charity ball proceeds, to Davis ; ' Thia the defense promised to com- ! bat by attempting to show that the I check was in payment for a perI sonal loan made by Daris to Theo-1 dore G. Miller, secretary-treasurer of the Moose propagation depart-1 tn ent. Several witnesses testified this, morning. The witnesses included A. E. Steelier, shipping clerk for the' . Eureka Specialty Printing Co., of; i Scranton. Pa.. who explained (technicalities attending shipment of alleged lottery tickets to Ber-| ’ nard C. McGuire, who. the gov-1 j ernment contended, acted as pro-1 I motor of the charity ball enter-i prises; and Jacob Heffler. depart-j ment of justice investigator. The third witness was Morris j Kaplan, a Western Union company! employe, who identified a letterj he delivered to McGuire. The letter confirmed an agreement to; deliver 50.00® small packages for •McGuire from the Western Union( offices to Moose lodges throughout the country. Charles If. Tuttle, of defense! counsel, asked for time to determine whether he would move for; i dismissal. 9 Davis appeared to be surprised l by the government's action. He 1 1 smiled broadly. After a brief conference, the defense decided to move for a directed verdict of acquittal on the ground the government failed to 'present a case against Davis. I Joseph E. Davies. Washington at- : torney. of the defense staff, was • chosen tn present the motion. Judge Coleman decided the motion would be argued during the luncheon recess. ' The defense, however, immed-' lately began presentation of its 1 case, calling Fred W. Jones, the financial agent of Senator Davis, as its first witness.

DON'T QUOTE ME * ♦ (U.R) -♦ Washington, Sept. 26 — (UP) »— This campaign his devel ped secretary of Treasury Ogd -n L. Mills of New York as a potential figure in I future Republican party affairs. He is the man on whom President Hoover is leaning. He is important not I only in the show window but in the back room where the heavy , brain is done H« opposed th.se, who w anted to send President Hoo-1 ver on a trir.s-continental stumping I ' tour, and won. Secretary Mills is stepping into' . the shoes left by the lat Dwight W. Morrow as the next hope f the i party in the belief of some here. | M mow was d -stirred to have been ja leading prospect for the Rcpubli-i ‘can Presidential nomination four, I years hence. Politic! ns d - not like to be talked of as Presidential timber too! far in advance of the cuttirtg season. The late President Roosevelt ; ! with his perfect political instinct, , sensed the dangers of jt early in his i public career. London Steffens tells , h w he and Jacob Ritis were rebuked by young Roosevelt when , the suggested that having been app inted police commissioner ■ f New York City had a chance to j work toward the Presidency. Steffens, in his autobiography. : describes how Roosevelt leaped out ' f bis chair, ran around the desk and with his teeth bared and fists ! (1 ached seemed about to strike his i y tin-- worshippers. "Don't you put such ideals into my head" he shouted, “never, never.' ; you must never either of you ever ! remind a man at work on a political Job that he may he president. It altn st kills him politically. He loses : his nerve; he can't d> his work; he , gfv s up the very traits that are making him a possibility. I. for in-; I stance, 1 am g ing to do great | things here, hard things that re-' 1 quire all the courage, ability, work'that I am capable of. and I cm do t »em if I think of them alone. But jif I get to thinking of what it | might l°ad to —” Then he add’d slowly: “I must be wanted to be presi- ■ dent. Every y-nng man does. But I w n't let myself think of it; 1 must | tint, because if I do I will begin to I w rk for it. "I'll be careful, calcu-; lating. cautious in word and aet.j and so—l'll b-it myself. Go on 1 away, now, and don't you ever mention that to me again.” Word came im > the United Press bur-au that Walter H Newton, White H u.|-> political secretary, i i had posted a “for sale" sign in front i f his house. "No. That's the man next door,” 1 He said w' en asked if the report was true. The only house 1 own is in Minneapolis. I rent half of a duplex and it's the other half that has the (fir sale stzn up."

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE Without preliminary, she opened up as soon as the woman came in. “Myra, I was thinking about you this morning,” she said. “And I think I know something you could do. One of the big dress houses that I know through Aunt Pam employs smart looking, cultured women to advertise them in a rather novel way, and I think I could get the place for you.” “What would I have to do?” asked Mrs. Brownley, faintly. “Just live at one of the fashionable hotels, wear their models, and make a point of meeting wealthy American women, and telling them where you got your clothes. You would appear merely a gu"st of the hotel, idle and lonely. Nobody’d ever dream of your being a business woman. Your clothes would be designed to attract attention. Clothes are the first topic in Paris. You could tell them how much better you'd found this house. If they seemed interested you would say you knew the manager well, and would take them around and introduce them if they cared to go and that, even if they didn’t care to buy, it would be fascinating to look. Os course the exclusive houses were rather wary of Tookers', but you being a customer . . . and so on. . , . “Y ou wouldn’t have to urge. Or even go with them. Merely suggest, then change the subject. Before parting, offer your visiting card. That would bring out theirs. Then phone the house, giving the name of your customers. And whether they go with you or alone, you get ten per cent on everything they buy. One woman may buy thousands of dollars’ worth.” “Oh,” gasped Myra, “do you think I could?” “Why not? There’s nothing to do but live elaborately, make yourself sociable and friendly to your countrywomen. You could do that, couldn't you?” “Yes, but ” “What?” “Oh, I couldn't. I just know I couldn’t. I never have done anything like that. I’d feel like a sales person.” ‘‘l thought yon said you wanted to do something to make some money.” “I do. But that’s so degrading.” “Well, I wouldn’t think it so. The offer was made to me, and if I weren’t studying I’d grab it. And I've never worked for money either, and I don’t think I’m a particularly coarse grained person. My family is rather well considered " “Oh, I didn’t mean that But I just couldn't. It just isn’t in me." I Patricia's temper was rising. "Just what is in you, Myra? Y’ou w-ant money. You don’t want to marry for it unless it’s the right man, you don’t want to work for it ” “Oh, but I do want to work if I could do something — artistic,” “Y ou mean you’d like to pose as an artist and let a distant husband send you money, or a friend give it to you, or get it for you somehow.” Mrs. Brownley burst into tears. “I’m sorry, Myra,” said Patricia in swift contrition. “I've a beastly temper sometimes—and I’ve been worrying over you.” She rose. “I’ll run out and get some tea. Don’t go. Wait till I come back. Forgive me?” “Os course you didn’t mean to he unkind. I know that.” Myra wiped her eyes and smiled. “Want me to go for you?” “No, I’ll ga» Patricia ran all the way to the grocery store. Terrible thoughts clamoring inside her head. ... All in a minute somebody she'd been worrying over, feeling sorry for, had collapsed. . . . But maybe . . . people have different viewpoints ... seems so unreasonable. ...But what if Jimmie had been imposed on by that woman! She thought of

stories she had heard of clever gold diggers. . . . They must have a good story of some kind. . . . Surely men 1 wouldn't just throw thousands at them unless . . . they must feel , obligated in some wa y. Terribly • obligated. Or afraid. Jimmie isn’t afraid; but he must feel horribly obligated to a woman who would submit to the humiliation of being divorced by a rotter of a husband, and destitute herself into the bar- , gain, because she “was afraid No- [ lan would rake up something about ! Jimmie and me, and make trouble for Jimmie” . . . and there’s that . stock market business. . . . Clever, [ that. . . , I won't believe it! How can I , have such thoughts about Myra? , Poor thing, I have no patience with these helpless women, but Mounting the steps to her studio, Patricia saw that her door was a little* ajar , . . Thought I closed , . . .Then she heard sobbing . . . Myra, talking and sobbing bitterly. .. . , Patricia pushed the door open. Jack stood near the desert scene. [ His back was to the door. Myra [ Brownley was sobbing on his breast. Mr. Braithwait inserted his key in the door. “Um sorry, dear, I'm 1 so late for dinner. I'm afraid you »re ” He “Why, child, what’s the matter?” Patricia was standing in the center of the big room which was in a state of unwonted dishevelment. Her hair was tousled. Her blue eyes glittered. He started toward her in mild alarm. She backed away. "Don't come near me! Don't touch me. You think I’m your daughter. I’m not. I’m a terrible person. I’ve just done a terrible thing!” He stood looking at her a moment, and his soft hazel eyes began twinkling. He was reminded of her as a child accusing herself of horrible sins. “What terrible thing have you been doing?” he axked. “I’ve pounded a woman.” “Y’ou pounded a woman.” “I did it. In this very room. I pounded that terrible Mrs. Brownley who has got Jimmie all snarled up in her clutches, trying to make jhim marry her. I found her out. And I pounded her.”
