POINT YOUNG I G. 0. P. LEADERS . FOR CAMPAIGN 300 at ‘Pep’ Session Cheer Fess Prediction Hoover Will Be Re-Elected. By Bcripps-lloicarA Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June 12.—Under the direction of Executive Director Robert H. Lucas, the Republican national committee today is cantinuing a “pep meeting’’ in anticipation of next year’s presidential campaign, Lucas has assembled 300 handpicked young Republican men and women at the conference of young Republicans for the purpose, as he told them, of conducting a “practical discussion of the ways of building up a Republican army.” Another purpose is to arouse Republican enthusiasm and to counteract the aggressive efforts now being made by Democrats throughout the Country. Most of the delegates are women —enthusiastic, good-looking and well-dressed. At the end of their conference late today they will go to the White House to be received by the President and Mrs. Hoover, and tonight there will be a banquet to be followed by a dance—a new wrinkle* in political entertaining. In addition, Lucas provided sight-seeing opportunities for the visitors. The keynote of the conference was sounded by Senator Sftneon D. Fess of Ohio, who aroused greater enthusiasm than he did as keynoter at the Republican convention in Kansas City three years ago. Fess brought the delegates to their feet with a declaration that “when the American people realize the obligation they owe to President Hoover he not only will be unanimously renominated, but he will be overwhelmingly elected.” Fess asserted that “the time will come when the President’s service in this hour of world-wide distress will be fully appreciated.” He discarded a prepared manuscript discussing the tariff and launched himself into a practical discussion of Republican politics, as he views It. Pastor to Address Class “Life’s Supreme Adventure” will be the subject of the Rev. W. W. Wiant, pastor of the North M. E. " church tonight at the commencement of the Y. M. C. A. night high school. The service will follow a fellowship supper. E. J. Black, principal, will deliver the diplomas.

200 APPEAR TO CHARGE DITCH PROJECTFRAUD Taxpayers Oppose Drain at Court Hearing; Assert Names Misused. High assessments for a drainage ditch from Lyndhurst drive to Eagle creek brought 200 taxpayers into circuit court today *to oppose its construction. The courtroom was crowded by property holders at a hearing on a suit to enjoin the construction company from continuing its work and to prevent the county treasurer from collecting assessments. J. H. Wheeler and other property owners filed the suit against the Columbia Construction Company and other defendants, including county commissioners, the county auditor and county treasurer. Taxpayers complain they signed a petition to have the ditch cleaned, and that their signatures were used fraudulently on a petition requesting anew ditch. They also charge proposed ditch is not the kind that will serve their purpose and that “it is far too expensive.” The protest was the outgrowth oi a meeting held at Fleming school No. 14 Wednesday night, where opposition to the ditch was organized.

No Fooling By United Press WASHINGTON. June 12 The skeptics society was given some new statistics to ponder today. The United States weather bureau cast up its accounts for last year and pointed with pride to a record of 89.6 per cent accuracy for its entire forecasting service. The figure was arrived at after a detailed comparison of all the year's forecasts with the actual conditions. In August the weather bureau will put into use anew code for exchange of data between forecasting points. This is expected to make possible even more accurate predictions, especially for aviators.

ILLINOIS VOTERS BILLTOSENATE House G, 0. P. Aids Passage of Reapportionment. By United Press SPRINGFIELD, m., June 12.—A bill to remap Illinois congressional districts to make the vote of a Chicagoan equal to that of a downstate citizen was sent today to the senate after Republicans united to pass it through the house. Administration followers who drew up the plan predicted the bill would pass in the senate more easily than it did in the house, where arguments were marked by fist fights on the floor, hissing, booing, hurling of books and a Democratic filibuster which threatened to tie up proceedings indefinitely. The bill provides for the first remapping of congressional districts in more than twenty years. It will give the Chicago metropolitan area with 57 per cent of the state’s population fourteen congressional seats. Down-state voters w r ho represent 43 per cent of the total population, will elect thirteen congressmen.
