DEMOCRATS IN NATION-WIDE GALLTO ARMS ‘Big Four’ of Party Sound Plea for Unity in Campaign. Bt United Pres. The Democratic paty ha,s marshaled its forces for the 1932 presidential campaign in nation-wide victory dinners; its leaders have added new attacks on “Republican incapacity for leadership," bub not one self-announced candidate for the presidential nomination was added to the list. developments during the last few days had led some politicians to believe that the candidacy either of Alfred E. Smith, 1928 standard bearer, or Franklin D. Roosevelt, who nominated Smith as "the happy warrior,” would be announced. In New York, Governor Roosevelt sounded the “call to arms” Thursday night with a plea for the return of state’s rights, asking for a campaign free from prejudice and deploring the present tendency “to blame all our present troubles on the President.” Adds Deeper Thrust Roosevelt said the President "perhaps is the victim of a theory which holds that control of the Republican party reins entitles the holders to use that historic party for the purposes of personal gain.” Then he added a deeper thrust, saying: “He and his associates perhaps have shown incapacity to contribute leadership in the solving of a national crisis. John W. Davis, standard bearer in 1924, told of the efforts made to pledge *1,500,000 needed for the campaign. In Boston, Alfred E. Smith gave ho hint as to w'hether he would seek the nomination again. His address largely was a reiteration and elaboration of points stressed in his Jackson day speech in Washington, with a vigorous plea for a clean-cut party platform. He urged an “honest, open declaration” as to what the Democratic party was going to do regarding "this prohibition law,” and praised the Raskob plan for submitting to the people an amendment whereby dissatisfied states could handle their own liquor problems.

Why not turn over the debt to the automobile salesmen for collection. They’ll get the money if any one can and sell them used cars besides, thereby eliminating another American problem. a m st JUST a reminder that Miller Standard First Line tires are now so sensationally low that it doesn’t pay to drive on smooth, dangerous tires.

NO. B—St. Elmo’s Fire One of World’s Strangest Phenomena—Few Have Seen Its Crackling Light.

ST. ELMO’S FlßE—Which also is called corposants, and by several r' "er names-is one of the mysterious phenomena of the atmosphere. Ample and accurate information is to be found in comparatively few scientific books, and the majority of these are in foreign languages. The

®sr

phenomenon lias been known to mankind from remote antiquity and is far from rare, yet it is likely that not one person in 10,000 ever has witnessed it. St. Elmo’s fire is a first cousin of lightning. It occurs chiefly in thundery weather and is a brush discharge of electricity, in the shape of small jets and flames, chiefly from pointed objects, including lightning rods, the masts and spars of vessels, the angles of roofs, etc. The discharge is accompanied by a hissing or crackling sound, which sometimes is beard in the daytime, when the “fire” itself is invisible on account of its comparatively feeble luminosity. The discharge also occurs in snow storms and dust storms. Since mast of the well-known descriptions of St. Elmo’s fire relate

mittee, warned against overconfidence. "The victory is ours,” he said, ’if we hold together and do not let our enthusiasm wane.” In Atlanta the dinner was a “love feast.” Roosevelt was referred to once as “Georgia’s adopted favorite son” by Judge A. B. Lovett of Savannah. In Columbus, three men prominently mentioned as presidential possibilities spoke. They were Senator Robert S. Bulkley of Ohio, Governor George White and Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. Bulkley declared against a general sales tax, but said such a tax might be necessary on luxuries. He said all business will collapse, if the federal reserve banks are “polluted” with frozen securities, and advocate a higher income tax in the upper brackets. CITY WITHOUT STAMPS Philadelphia Can Not Mail Water Bills; Budget Still Unbalanced. By United Press PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15. The city of Philadelphia had 100,000 water bills, amounting to nearly $1,000,000, addressed and ready to mail today—but there were no stamps, and no money to buy them. Arthur D. Brenner, receiver of taxes, is unable to obtain the money allowed him for postage until Controller Will Hadley opens the city’s books for 1932. Hadley has advised city council he can not do this until the 1932 city-county budget of $§8,655,827 is balanced.

to its appearance at sea, the impression prevails, outside of scientific circles, that it is exclusively or chiefly a marine phenomenon. Asa matter of fact, however, It is much more common and also more striking In its manifestations on mountains than anywhere else. In this country it is well known on the higher slopes of the Rockies and the Sierras. It occurs, however, on lowlands as well as in mountains regions, and in all latitudes. The Egyptian pyramids occasionally are adorned with it, and some brilliant displays have been seen during blizziards in the Antarctic. At sea the discharges sometimes take the form of one or two starlike objects at the trucks of the masts or the tips of the yard-arms, but occasionally the spars, rigging and other parts of the ship are

lighted up with a great number of stationary or moving flames, producing a weird spectacle. Many superstitions concerning these lights have prevailed among sailors. Next: The, records of the climates.

reled, was denied vehemently by the mayor. According to the reports, Hinkle and Manion came to the parting of the ways because the mayor wished to appoint William Trost a member of the board of safety to succeed Albert M. Long, new assistant street commissioner. Manion favored Frank E. Coughlin, former St. Joseph county prosecutor, for the place. The mayor is a democrat. Both Trost and Coughlin arc Republicans and Manion is said to be the leader of anew Demorcatic faction. Both had been recommended to him for the place, Hinkle admitted, adding

that Trost was the choice of Republican councilmen. A Republican minority of the council, George Hull, Glenn Oakley, Irvin Crips and Earl Gustin, hurried to Hinkle’s defense recently, when he narrowly escaped facing impeachment proceedings following ouster of Rudolph Ackerman, Democrat, as city controller.
