DEATH TAKES CHIEF COUNSEL OF REPUBLICANS James Frances Burke, One of Keenest Strategists of Party, Stricken. By United Prr WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—James Francis Burke, one of the keenest strategists of the Republican party was dead today at the outset of a campaign that promises to be unusually hard fought. General counsel of the Republican national committee, the 65-year-old Pittsburgh lawyer, was stricken while visiting at the

White House Monday night, and died shortly thereafter. Always dapper and lively, Burke had been one of President Hoover's closest political advisors. He had been in the thick of Republican campaign battles for forty years. Only a few hours before his death, Burke had conferred twice with Mr. Hoover regarding

Burke

the notification ceremonies Thursday evening, and the President’s acceptance address. He told newspaper men at the White House that the address would be the best Mr. Hoover ever delivered, and that Thursday would be "the great day of the campaign.” Intended to Sail Tonight "I am sorry I shall not be here,” Burke added. He explained he intended to sail from New York tonight for a brief holiday in Europe. But President Hoover, in conference, had noted that Burke was not feeling well. He prevailed on him to be examined by Dr. Joel T. Boone, White House physician. Dr. Boone ordered him to Garfield hospital and accompanied him there. Burke died a short time later, with Dr. Boone at his side. A White House announcement said coronoary thrombosis—a blood clot in the heart—caused death. Son of a Pennsylvania oil producer, Burke was born in Petroleum Center, Pa., in 1867. Central Campaign Figure In 1895, the year of his graduation from the University of Michigan, he organized Republican clubs in colleges throughout the country. Asa reward for this work he was made secretary of the Republican national committee at the age of 25. From that time on he had a central part in Republican campaigns and became the adviser of Presidents. For ten years, beginning in 1904, he represented the Thirty-first Pennsylvania district in congress. He was counsel for former Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon in hearing before a senate committee on oil cases involving Mellon. Burke is survived by his widow; a son, Francis Burke, and a daughter, Mrs. Rogers, all of Pittsburgh. CRACKS BACK AT MATE Frightened by Toy Explosive, Wife Calls Cops; Find Bottle of Whisky. "Fourth of July” antics in August gave a wife the last laugh Monday night. Police were called to 919 North Pennsylvania street, apartment 4, home of Earl Deal, and his wife, Johynda. He was absent when they arrived. Mrs. Deal told the officers Earl had set off a fire cracker to frighten her during an argument. Invited into the kitchen, the officers said they found a gallon bottle partly filled with corn whisky. Deal returned while the officers were in the apartment. He was arrested on a blind tiger charge.

MILLIONS FAVOR THOMAS

Socialist Candidate to Poll Big 'Vote

''' —~ , H Jk JrfML 5H ■ f✓' ||§g§ 'Wt majreq

Here are Norman Thomas, leader of the Socialists, and his running mate, James H. Maurer, vice-presidential candidate.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—There is no possibility that Norman Thomas, the respected ex-preach-er, ex-social worker and exPrincetonian, will be elected president on the Socialist ticket, but it is evident that most of the voters dissatisfied with the old parties will vote for him, rather than for the Communists. This is because Thomas and his party are fighting for an orderly revolution to a definite, clean-cut program, whereas the Communists, extreme left wing radicals, insist that violence is necessary. And the average American, accustomed to nonviolence in the country since the Civil war, fears the consequences of a bloody revolt. Thus Thomas, denounced by capitalists whom he wishes to overthrown and bitterly opposed by Communists, will fight for election between two fires. But this position will bring votes. How many? Estimates have been as high at 5,000,000. Even if the figure is much less, it will be a significant protest vote and will lay a foundation for building a stronger Socialist party in 1936. Norman Thomas does not believe that a revolution is imminent, although “the-man-on-the-street,” intellectuals, and even capitalists constantly talk about it. This writer asked Thomas if he thought the bonus army riots were forerunners of an actual revolt this winter. nun “T DO not think there will be a A revolution this winter,” was his reply. “But I hate to think of what will happen. I predict that there will be a combination of actual starvation with riots, and that unemployed armies will be routed by troops with sadistic fervor.” “The tempo of modern life is so fast that our crises are crowded into a short time. We, as Socialists, will stake our efforts oil an orderly revolution, because modern engines of war are so destructive and horrible. We want to avoid catastrophe, if we can.” Thomas, as leader of the Social-

ists, endorsed by the League for Independent Political Action of which Dr. John Dewey, distinguished educator, is the head, is no novice in politics. He was candidate for Governor of New York state in 1924, a presidential nominee in 1928, and in 1925 and 1929, making remarkable runs for mayor of New York, he polled hundreds of thousands of votes. He knows his politics. Let’s get back to the dictionary definition of Socialism and see how American Socialists have fitted it to modem conditions. Says the dictionary: “Socialism is a state of society based on public or collective ownership of the main instruments of wealth production (land, means of transportation and communication, mines, mills, factories, and modern machinery) and on democratic management of the industries of the communities for the benefits of its members.” u n n HERE’S what American Socialists want: A unified banking system to prevent bank failures, electrification of world industries, creation of a federal marketing agency to allow agriculturists to get a fair share of sales price for products, genuine disarmament, recognition of Russia so America can get a share of its enormous trade, cancellation of war debts, and entry into the League of Nations. Thomas advocates further. $lO,000,000,000 for self-supporting public works, such as reforestation; attack on slums by publiclyowned buildings certain to return 85 per cent of original investment; development of electrical supply for rural areas, building of necessary bridges and tunnels to be paid for by tolls, etc. All this is to relieve unemployment. He denounces President Hoover for his action in the bonus army riots: “It was one of the most outrageous things in American history. If the government had given proper unemployment relief we

should not have had such a situation. “I should have advocated payment of the bonus to unemployed veterans, on the assumption that it has to be paid eventually anyway.” Thomas believes: nun “/'\UR great fight is for SocialV-# ism. Our enemy is neither the Republican nor the Democratic party. It is Fascism, last stand of capitalism, which sweeps on with the aid of the old parties, or despite them. “Its march is aided by the profound distruct of millions-of our fellow citizens that anything vital can be done by politics. “Is that not, in large part, the explanation of the strange absorption of both conventions in liquor, while men starve for bread? Prohibition, men cynically believe, the politicians can handle, but not poverty.”

PUSH DRIVE TO GET HOME LOAH DANK FOR CITY Senator Watson Will Make Direct Appeal to New Hoover Council. Request that one of the federal home loan banks be located in Indianapolis was to be made by Senator James E. Watson at first meeting of the newly-appointed bank board today. Indianapolis Realtors have been advised by Watson’s secretary. A telegram from the senator’s secretary, John F. Hayes, to Dan W. LeGore, realty board president, said Watson personally presented a similar request to President Hoover. Support of Indianapolis realtors, builders and bankers’ plea for location of one of the eight to twelve banks here also is being given by Representative Louis Ludlow, who

Travel to Planets Seen as Depression Solution

Prophet Says Service to Other Worlds Likely in Fifty Years. By United Prttf LONDON, Aug. 9.—Hugo Gemsback. American scientific prophet, predicted today that inter-plane-tary travel would dispose of the problem of economic depressions in the future.

BARKLEY AGAIN NOMINATED FOR POST IN SENATE Incumbent Put Far Out irt Front by Votes of Kentucky Democrats. By United Peru* LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Aug. 9.—Albert W. Barkley has been renominated by Kentucky Democrats for United States senator by a majority that may reach 50,000 votes. Barkley was far out in front of George B.
