RITCHIE SLAPS AT ROOSEVELT'S lITILITYSTAND Speech Seen As Attempt to Head Off Race for Presidency. By Scripps-H award newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Governor Albert C. Ritchie's Atlantic City address assailing government ownership of public utilities was regarded by politicians here today as the start of a definite movement by certain Democrats to head off Governor Franklin D. Rosevelt of New York, in the latter’s flying race for the presidential nomination. Ritchie’s thinly veiled criticism of his rival’s power views and Roosevelt’s desire to subordinate prohibition to economic issues commanded great interest because he (Ritchie) Is reported as the second choice of the conservative wing of the party. After Owen D. Young, and possibly A1 Smith, the Maryland Governor is believed to be most satisfactory * to the group headed by John J. Raskob, national chairman, a fellow-Marylander. Speech Is Challenged To the politicians Ritchie’s speech stands as a frank and direct challenge of Roosevelt’s views, which appeal to progressives in both parties. Meanwhile, Democrats are looking forward to the address Newton D. .baker of Ohio is scheduled to make before the American Legion convention at Detroit next week, and wondering whether he will raise a lightning rod, and how. He is generally regarded as second to Roosevelt in the Democratic race, with Ritchie in the role of a possible compromise candidate. Although Ritchie did not mention Roosevelt by name, he came near it. He denounced the New York Governor’s public utility theories as well as Roosevelt’s known desire to subordinate prohibition to economic questions. Aims at Backers Ritchie turned his direct fire on the men who either indorse or sympathize with Roosevelt’s attitude, Senator George W. Norris, Nebraska progressive, and Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania. Norris has indicated he might support Roosevelt, if nominated, in preference to Hoover, and Pinchot joined with the New York Governor in denouncing public utilities’ practices at the recent French Lick conference of state executives. Political tongues were also set to wagging by Ritchie’s praise of Young’s ideas of managing a private corporation. Politicians recalled that this makes the second time Rithcie has made a flattering reference to Young. In his inaugural address last winted Ritchie indorsed the General Electric Company’s system of an unemployment reserve, and referred with seeming sarcasm to prominent Democrats who have

become belated converts to prohibition. Ritchie Followers Concerned Friends of free lance and favorite son candidates have recently begun to express uneasiness over Roosevelt’s apparent lead in the race, and the publicity his candidacy is receiving. It is their fear that the New York Governor will get so far out in front there will be no stopping him. Ritchie’s admirers have been especially concerned, for they feel it is now or never for their handsome idol. Except for Baker, who fought for public ownership and operation as an official in Cleveland, the leading candidates for the Democratic nomination have now made clear their views on power. Young and Ritchie are for private operation, Smith for construction of generating plants by the state and sale of electricity to private companies under contract. Rosevelt’s program is similar to Smith’s, with the additional proposal that, if “satisfactory” contracts can not be negotiated, the state should deliver power to cities and counties.

DANDRUFF

When loose dandruff gets the upper hand, hair begins to fall out. Baldness often follows. A quick, pleasant treatment for a dandruff condition is full strength Listerine, used systematically several days. You simply douse it on the scalp full strength and massage vigorously, using a little castor or olive oil when scalp or hair is excessively dry. Keep this treatment up for several days. You will be amazed at the quick improvement. If infection is present on the surface of the skin, Listerine attacks it. A powerful germicide, it kills bacteria in 15

seconds, the fastest killing time accurately recorded by science. Listerine helps to dissolve oily crusts and quickly removes them, as well as horny scales. And Listerine quickly relieves that burning, itching sensation. It soothes inflamed or irritated areas of the scalp. If scalp is excessively dry, a little olive oil may be used in connection with the Listerine shampoo, or independent of it. The oil aids in dissolving crusts and scales and keeps hair from drying out. Lambert Pharmacal Company, St. Louis, Missouri, U. S. A.
