M. E. MINISTER ASSERTS SOUTH WILLJFIGHT AL Predicts Break in Solid Vote to Cast Out Tammany. u 7 United Press LAKE JUNALASKA, N. C., Aug. 24.—A break in the Solid South to ‘ cast out Tammany” was predicted for the November presidential election in an addres by the Rev. Eugene L. Crawford before the laymen’s conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, here today. Crawford is a member of the church’s board of social service and temperance. “There is no power that can bludgeon the people of the South into blindly supporting by their votes on election day any candidate whose whole career has been devoted to maintaining the exact reverse of those high principles and lofty traditions which have always characterized the South,” he said. “Even with the solid South, Governor Smith and his Tammany associates would probably be beaten but the South will never be solid for A1 Smith, although it will continue to be solid for genuine democracy. “Those of us who are Democrats because we have ideals that are higher than a beer stein or the bunghole of a whisky barrel do not feel honored when men like Raskob and Du Pont leave the Republican party because of that party’s high moral stand on the prohibition question and become temporary converts to the Democratic party in the apparent belief that the leadership

BUILD NEW LAUNDRY Work Begin on Fame Laundry Structure. Work on the new home of the Fame Laundry Company at Illinois and Fourteenth Sts. has been started. The building probably will be completed by January. The new building will be of reinforced concrete, two stories high in front and four at the rear, fronting 100 feet on Illinois St. and 200 feet on Fourteenth St. Although excavation has been started, contract for the building has not been awarded. The laundry has occupied the four-story building at 27 N. Capitol Ave. for fifteen years. of Governor A1 Smith has turned the party of Jefferson into the party of the bartender. “So long as moral ideals are paramount in the thinking and the living of the people of the South, we will not permit political hucksters to cast our votes en bloc. “The carpet baggres from the Fulton fish market or the sidewalks of New York can disfranchise the Jeffersonian Democrats of the South or cast their ballots for them in this or any other year. “When men like Senator Owen, Vance McCormick, Senator Simmons, outstanding bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, besides the hundreds of thousands of God-fearing men and women in the country, villages, towns and cities express themselves so clearly and forcibly against this unholy alliance with rum, then those who know the temper of the men and women of the South will never be able to believe that the New York candidate can by any hocus pocus become our candidate.” Want to buy a Florence Automatic Oil Range or Jewett Victrola?

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

were asked this question today as result of the freeing in Great Britain of Oscar Slater, convicted of murder and after eighteen years in prison found to be innocent. Slater was paid $30,000. “Just Too Bad” After digging into their law books and looking up precedents, Department of Justice officials concluded that if any American was wrongfully sent to prison it would be just too bad. In regaining his freedom he would get that and nothing more, because there is no law to repay him anything for his false imprisonment. So far as the courts are concerned the Federal Government can do no wrong, ofncials assert. If it makes a mistake and sends an innocent man to jail that is his hard luck. The only redress is for the abused individual to appeal to Congress.

Congress has the power to give money to anyone making any kind of claim against the Government. Even then getting the money is doubtful, for Congress usually refers such cases to the Court of Claims for legal opinion. The legal opinion is that the United States doesn’t have to pay any damages because an innocent citizen happens to have his freedom cut off for a few years. No record of any case of a Federal prisoner wrongfully serving sentence and getting redress can be found either in Congress, Court of Claims, or in Department of Justice records. Clerks recall complaints being made of innocent men being sent to prison, but nothing ever came of them. Instance of an individual complaining to Congress of false arrest is recalled at the Senate claims
