DEMOCRATS IN GRIP OF GLOOMi NO LIGHTAHEAD Rebuilding Task Is Faced With Disaster; Sadly Need a Moses. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Democratic leaders frankly admitted today that they approach the task of party rehabilitation with misgivings. Its disastrous defeat, the breakup of the solid south, the failure to draw many agrarians or progressives into camp, and Governor Smith’s position on such questions as prohibition and the tariff are the obstacles to work of reorganization, in the opinion of the representative spokesmen from all sections. Nor do the Democrats find much cheer in the large popular vote given Governor Smith. They realize he got votes from such diverse groups as farmers, wets, former progressives and liberal Republicans, and they have small hope of holding these elements permanently. None knows where to turn for a leader or where the broken organization is to form alliances that will strengthen it for 1932. From several sources there have been definite proposals for the future, but none seem to have taken hold. One by John J. Raskob, national chairman, contemplates a serious effort for the next four years to win converts to the party's ideals and program. Other suggestions have come from anti-Smith leaders, including M. D. Lightfoot of Missouri and Senator Simmons of North Carolina. But those who remained loyal to the party are in no mood to welcome proposals from the men who set out to defeat Smith. Some leaders, including Senators Wagner of New York and Harrison of Mississippi, seem to favor letting the soreness and bitter memories soften before undertaking any definite movement of reorganization. Such a period might extend for six months or a year, at the end of which it is suggested a party council be held to take stock of the future. That was the plan followed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York Governor-elect, following the 1924 election.

HEADACHES CAME ON EVERY FEW WEEKS Kentucky Man’s Suffering Caused Him To Lose Time at Work Until He Found That Black-Draught Relieved Him. Mr. Robert J. Graybeal, of 149 Maple Avenue, Danville, Ky., gives the following interesting account of his use of Black-Draught: “It must have been about ten years ago that I was having bad headaches and would get very dizzy. These headaches were coming on every few weeks, and caused me to lose time at my work. “I was looking over the paper and saw a Black-Draught advertisement. I thought that Black-Draught might do me gooff. “I took a few doses of it and found that it helped me. My head quit aching, and I did not feel dizzy any more. “Right then I decided that BlackDraught was ‘my medicine,’ and for the past ten years, when I would feel dizzy or when my head would begin to ache, I went back to BlackDraught, and it surely has proved most satisfactory. “I do not have to take it all the time, only at intervals when overworked or when I get bilious.” Only the purest, selected medicinal herbs and roots are used in the manufacture of Black-Draught. It is finely powdered, which enables the juices of the stomach to extract its medicinal properties in an easy, natural way.

DIGEST PATS SELF FOR GUESSING VOTE Magazine Says It Was 96 Per Cent Right in Election Poll. By United Press NEW YORK. Nov. 13.—The Literary Digest issued a statement today claiming that magazine to have been 96 per cent correct in its presidential election poll completed two weeks in advance of election day. Latest figures, the Digest said, showed that Hoover received 58.8 of the popular vote, whereas the Digest had forecast 62 3 per cent. In its electoral tabulation the Digest made a similar 4 per cent error by giving Massachusetts and Rhode Island to Hoover, whereas they went to Smith. The magazine explained this upset by saying a “last-hour shift of sentiment took place in these two states after Governor Smith's visit to Boston at the end of the campaign.” “Now.” the Digest statement said. “We hope to be able in the not distant future to conduct' a nation-wide referendum on some issue of national interest upon which there has been no direct opportunity to vote.”

PHILLY TO PUSH CRIMECLEANUP Long List of Witnesses to Questioned. By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13. Backed with the assurance of Judge Edwin O. Lewis, who ordered the August grand jury to investigate Philadelphia’s underworld with its bootlegging and gambling, the investigators renewed their sessions today, calling a long list of witnesses. Judge Lewis issued a formal statement yesterday in which he said in part; “I can conceive of no legal objections to a grand jury continuing to completion a matter properly brought before it during a term of court. To hold otherwise would hamper and sometimes render completely ineffective the functions of a grand jury.” The judge, who last August instructed the grand jury to find out why gangsters could kill two men within ten days and the police do little to solve the killings, said the grand jurors were completing "unfinished business.” . An attack on the legality of the grand jury was made Saturday by an attorney for former Police Captain Frank Kennedy, whom the grand jury listed as “unfit” to hold office because he had, they said, accepted bribes. Judge Lewis’ statement was in reply to that attack. The Sioux and Blackfeet Indians will dig their spears in the earth as a sign of confidence, while Fiji Islanders cross two red feathers.
