PARTIES MAKE LAST MINUTE BALLOT PLEAS Democrats’ Closing Volley in Campaign Charges Job Aid Failure! DRYS ISSUE WARNINGS 3. 0. P, Appeal Based on President’s Need for Congress Support. BY PALL R. MALLON United Presi Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—The last partisan cheers are dying away and the final word is being mimeographed or spoken at headquarters of candidates in preparation for the election Tuesday of a congress of the United States. Upward of 20,000,000 prospective voters have only a few hours remaining to make up their minds whether the Republican administration or the Democrats should control law making of the country for the next two years. By sundown Tuesday their collective voice will be heard through the balolt box in forty-seven states where 431 members of the house and thirty-four senators as well as thirty-one states’ Governors are being elected. The Democrats closed the campaign as they opened it—with high hopes and a hammering at the conduct of the administration during the business crisis. Through their efficient publicity bureau here, a i statement was issued by Senator Walter F. George (Dem., Ga.) charging the house Republican leadership with thwarting the only real effort to solve unemployment. Charges Bills Killed George contended these administration leaders killed the Wagner unemployment bills sponsored by the Democrats at the last session of congress. The same trend will be followed tonight in a national radio broadcast by Jouett Shouse, chairman of , the executive committee. On the Republican side, a member of the Hoover cabinet came to the support of the Republican senatorial candidate in Illinois, Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick. In a statement issued through the Republican senatorial committee, Secretary of Commerce Lamont urged the voters to elect men and w'omen who will support the Hoover policies, and then he added: “I think it particularly desirable that we of the great state of Illinois reaffirm the confidence expressed in Herbert Hoover two years ago by electing Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick to the senate and returning to the house a strong Republican delegation. T>rys Issue Warning Between these last-minute missiles of the two parties came a mimeographed warning from the dry organization here, headed by the Anti-Saloon League. Their statements urged the voters to “support in the elections those candidates who stand for maintenance and eflective administration of the prqhibition law and who will respect de- * cisions effected by constitutional means at ihe ballot box.” Their warning was directed against proposals to existing constitutional bans on what they called “habit-forming poison.” “Any modification by writing into law a legal fictibn giving a special privilege to the manufacturers of beer and wine to monopolize a trade m intoxicants would impugn this sincerity of the Constitution and strike at the integrity of govern- , ment,” the drys concluded. Refer to Beer Rumor Their remarks obviously were referring to rumors which have swept over the stock market tickers during the last two years suggesting the Wickersham commission shortly would report in favor of 4.4 per cent beer. These rumors were recurrent Sunday night, but met the same wall of official silence at the White _ House and the headquarters of the ~ Wickersham commission. It is pointed out the commission will meet here Wednesday the day after election, to formulate its report on prohibition. * The unusual nature of the three statements from the Democrats, Republicans and drys lent further credence to the posibility that upsets may be recorded to the voting Tuesday. The economic situation, business retrenchment, unemployment and prohibition are reported by many ' observers to have disturbed the electorate accustomed for eighteen years to re-elect Republican congresses. Prohibition is regarded as a major issue in eleven states, including Massachusetts, Illinois. Rhode Island. Wisconsin. New Jersey, New York, Delaware. Pennsylvania. Ohio. Montana and Washington. Referenda are scheduled in Massachusetts, Illinois and Rhode Island. Four Prospects Affected l Involved in the election arc * Franklin D. Roosevelt,* candidate for Governor of New York; Gifford Pinrhot, gubernatorial candidate of the Republican party in Pennsylvania; Dwight Morrow, Republican senatorial candidate in New Jersey, and Albert Ritchie, Democratic candidate for re-election as Governor of Maryland. All these four have been mentioned as possible presidential landidates in 1932. The Democrats believe they have an excellent chance to win. Shouse publicity predicts a gain of seventytwo house seats, a landslide which would give th# Democrats a majority of twenty. He also claims a gain of ten senate seats, enough to overthrow control rs the upper house. Idle to Be Aided Bv Untied Press KOKOMO. Ind., Nov. 3.—The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, its Kokomo plant closed more than a month, announces it will care for the families of its three hundred 1. Igiployes and subscribe to the unity chest an amount equal ■bat given last year.

G. 0. P. ROUT IS [FORECAST BY DEMOCRATS i ‘ Heavy Gains in Legislature and National Congress • Arts Predicted. PETERS IS OPTIMISTIC Republican Chiefs Scoff at Rivals’ Claims, See 50,000 Triumph. The curtain will fall tonight on what probably has been the hardest fought off-year state campaign since the beginning of the century —and it will find the Democrats crowing optimistically of a statewide victory, while the Republicans are frankly worried about the outcome of Tuesday’s election. R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman, today declared his party will show great gains in the number of representatives in congress; that the state ticket will be elected overwhelmingly, and control of the state house of representatives will pass into the hands of the Democrats. Republican state headquarters confidently announced that the state ticket will win by a majority of at least 50,000; they will return their representative and the complexion of the state house of representatives will not change. Unemployment and economic depression have been the principal issues in the state campaign. Democratic orators have presented to the voters charges of G. O. P. state extravagances, corruption and mismanagement, which /they expect to aid in unseating the party in power. Republicans answer with the “hard times” cry and with the statement that depression is worldwide and cannot be blamed upon any political party. Their speakers have not discussed state issues. Praises Organization Peters has said “The Democratic party is a unit in this campaign, and local organizations are more alert and enthusiastic than in any other campaign.” Election of Democratic representatives in the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh and Thirteenth districts claimed by the Democratic state committee, while the Republicans refuse to concede the loss of any seat and are claiming that Archibald M. Hall will defeat the incumbent, Louis Ludlow, in the Seventh district. If the tokens mean anything, the Democrats have excellent chances to elect seven representatives, an increase of four, and the Republicans will have but six, a loss of four. A Democratic lower house In the state legislature presages much trouble for Governor Harry G. Leslie. He is, it is declared, greatly worried regarding such a possibility and during the last week he swallowed his distaste and hate of George V. Coffin, Marion county Republican boss, and openly indorsed the county ticket. Local issues will be deciding factors in many counties. The fight on “Coffinism” in Marion county is just such a one; while from every side come Democratic cries: “Turn the rascals out.” By all the rules of precedent and politics, Democrats should take all the state offices and elect two members of the supreme court, say the party’s leaders. Court Race in Doubt The fate of the four candidates for the appellate bench hangs in the balance. Many believe that sufficient voters will “scratch” to insure their election. Leading orators of both parties will close their campaign in their home towns. Senators James E. Watson, following the practice of years, will appear at Newcastle this afternoon and at his home at Rushville tonight. Paul V. McNutt, Democratic keynoter, will close the campaign with i an address in Bloomington tonight, i The campaign has been marked j by one outstanding feature—while Republicans have brought into the state all their important party figures except the President; Democrats have relied solely on home talent headed by McNutt.

GIVE JOBS TO AID CHILDREN, IS 0. S. PLEA Keep Tots Out of Bread Line, Appeal Made by Grace Abbott. RELIEF PLAN IS RUSHED Employment Director for Southwest District Is Named by Woods. Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-An appeal for speeding up of unemployment relief activities, so “children can be kept out of the breadline,” was made today by Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the children's bureau of the labor department, as the President’s emergency comnjittee on employment moved to complete its organization personnel. “No child must suffer from hunger in the United States,” Miss Abbott said, in warning the country that relief work must be expedited. She pointed out that, in the last period of depression, the "children suffered most, due to inadequate milk supply, dangerous saving of fuel, and economy in clothing and household supplies.” Miss Abbott, noted welfare worker, made her appeal in a message to Dr. Lillian Gilbreth, head of the woman’s section of the emergency committee directed by Colonel Arthur Woods. At the same time, Woods announced appointment of the second of the committee’s regional commissioners, Frank Bane of Virginia being selected to direct activities in the southeastern states. At least three other regional commissioners are to be named, it was indicated today. One will be for the Pacific coast states, another for the southwest and a third for New England. Fred C. Croxton of Columbus, Q., was chosen last week as regional commissioner for the midwest. Woods also announced today a drop of 9 to 20 per cent in cost of various types of public works construction, one of the chief aids in meeting the unemployment problem. He cited figures from government departments, indicating the timeliness and economy of construction enterprises. Bv Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—ls industry will employ for the month of December as many workers as it employed last December, and will pay them the wages paid then, at the same time requiring each worker to buy at least $5 worth of his firm’s product, a long step will have been taken upward out of depression, the Mengel Lumber Company of Louisviilp believes. Within the last few days the Mengel company has proposed adoption of this plan to the principal woodworking and furniture trade in the United States, to wholesale and retail furniture associations, to nationally known manufacturers, to boards of trade in all large cities, the United States Chamber of Commerce, and to the President. It asks those who have received its communication to send the suggestion on to several hundred others.

2-TON CONE PLUGS WILD OIL GUSHER

Runaway Flow Is ‘Pinched In’ at Oklahoma City; Fire Still Is Menace. Bv United Press OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 3.—The wild Morgan—Stout oil gusher—which for three days threatened Oklahoma City business and residential districts with destruction, was capped today and officials deliberated means of preventing recurrence of similar hazards. The gusher, which sprayed 60,000 barrels of highly inflammable crude oil and 65,000,000 cubic feet of gas over a four-mile area daily, was '“pinched in” late Sunday when field workers succeeded in dropping a two-ton cone over its mouth. After the gusher ran wild last Thursday night, more than 250 oil men, national guardsmen and firemen labored for hours without rest, attempting to conquer the well and beat out fires which threatened to destroy the city. Possibility that oil wells within or near the city limits may be condemned as fire hazards was admitted by C. R. O’Neal, state fire marshal. O’Neal said he was awaiting an opinion on legality of the procedure from J. Berry King, attorney general. O’Neal exonerated Fred Morgan and C. E. Stout, owners and operators of the well, of blame. They took every possible precaution to prevent the gusher flowing wild when it came in, O’Neal said. Although the Morgan-Stout producer was shut in, firemen today patrolled the entire area against possible fire. The ground still was saturated with crude petroleum. More tEan 500 persons who were forced to leave their homes when the well ran wild, returned today, but were warned against lighting fires or even smoking within the danger zone lest anew conflagration sweep over the section.

CROWN RULER OF ABYSSINIA ‘ELECT OF GOD’ i Descendant of Solomon Take! ne Amid Barb- jl Splendor. NAMED OF KINGS Guns Boom and Trumpets Blare in Honor of New African Emperor. BY BRAINARD C. SALMON United Press Staff Correspondent ADDIS ABABA. Abyssinia, Nov. 3. —The east and the west, the ancient and the modem, mingled in a partly Europeanized African capital today for the festivities attendant upon the coronation of Ras Tafari, crowned Emperior Haile Selassie, king of kings, Lion of Juda, and the Elect of God, in a spectacular ceremony Sunday. The coronation was a mixture of modern and barbaric splendor. Soon after a crown of Abyssinian gold studded with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires had been placed upon the emperor’s head and he had driven with the empress to open the doors of Ghobi palace, soldiers rushed into the palace courtyard ' and slaughtered a herd of oxen with swords and daggers, drinking the blood and consuming the raw flesh of the beasts. Descendant of King Solomon Foreign representatives, in mod- ■ ern court dress and brilliant uniforms, witnessed the coronation in St. George cathedral. Outside, guns boomed, thousands of dusky natives beat tomtoms and sang weird native songs, and primitive trumpets blared in honor of the descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba who had ascended to the lion throne of Abyssinia. S The coronation ceremony lasted from 9:30 a. m. until noon. The duke of Gloucester, representing King George of England, and Marshal d’Esperey of France, were seated beside the empress, and the prince of Udine, Italy’s official representative, sat beside the emperor’s throne. The emperor was carried inside the cathedral in a regal chair on the shoulders of twelve stalwart Abysinian warriors. The Abuna, lit ad of the Ethiopian church, raised the magnificent crown, valued at $500,000, and placed it upon the head of the short, olive-skinned ruler of the last African empire. Traders and Hawkers Gather Strictest secrecy surrounded the night of prayer which the emperor and the empress spent in the cathedral before the coronation. The emperor and his wife were hidden by a screen while 230 priests prayed incessantly for their future. Beneath the electric lights which Ras Tafari had ordered strung across the main streets wiry Armenians bearing carpets from Persia bargained with chiefs from the heart of the dark continent. Swarthy Hindus silently proffered perfumes and incense. Traders and hawkers, a conglomeration from all parts of the world, displayed bales of American cotton goods to ebony-hued natives of Harrar. Tourists After Souvenirs American, British and Italian tourists threaded their way through the crush, seeking souvenirs and trinkets. Hermits from Waideba in ochreyellow and priests from Mount Tabor in skins dyed dull red stared in amazement. Mounted troops wearing lion skin robes and crowns made from the manes of, lions kept the crowd out of the path cleared for the royal procession A fanfare of trumpets announced the approach of the royal party. It was led by a picked body of troops and a band. Then came the king of kings, resplenndent ki gold embroidered robes and riding in the state carriage once owned by the German Emperor William I. Picked cavalty and the representatives of thirteen nations followed. H. Murray Jacoby of New York headed the delegation representing President Hoover of the United States. Seven-Day Fete Begins After the coronation, the royal procession passed through the streets again to the palace built by Menelik II after hi? victory over the Italian army at Adowa in 1896. Seven days of festivities began when tlie emperor opened the national games on a broad plain outside the city. A vast assembly of men on horses, camels, and mules attended him, and the entire population of the capital formed a circle about the natural theater. The emperor's guests will participate in big game hunting and other sports diming the week of celebration. Abyssinia, a member of the League of Nations, is a fuedal state. Five million native blacks keep almost 2,000,000 black salves, captured in the African jungle and brought in slave markets along the Red sea.
