‘ANTI-HOOVER' TO BE THEME OF ROOSEVELT President to Be Attacked Rather Than G. 0. P. as Political Group. BV RAY TUCKER Hmn Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—1n an effort, to win the votes of dissatisfied and independent Republicans, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt will center his attack on President Hoover and the administration, rather than on the Republican party as a political organization. The Democrats’ presidential nominee already has announced that he will join issue only with Hoover, and not with the ‘‘little fry” of the G. O. P. But his advisers have urged him to carry this policy much further. According to them, Roosevelt should try to divorce Hoover from the Republican party, and paint the President as a “political interloper.” Roosevelt is believed to be in a particularly fortunate position for making such an attack, because of his close association with Hoover when both served as members of the Wilson administration. Confidant of Wilson Roosevelt is said to have been a confidant of the President during the period when both major parties were talking of Hoover as a possible presidential nominee in 1920. In fact, Roosevelt has been quoted as saying that, at one time, Hoover planned to seek the Democratic nomination in that year. The anecdote has it that Roosevelt, and the late Franklin D. Lane, then secretary of the interior, persuaded Hoover to become a Democratic candidate. There was little hope he could win the nomination in 1920, but it was thought he could build up enough political prestige to obtain it in 1924. Want G. O. T. to Bolt According to the story, this plan was spiked by the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who convinced Hoover his hope of political advancement rested with the Republican party. When Roosevelt was asked about this story, which was told in a political book published anonymously last year, he declined to affirm or deny it. The idea behind the anti-Hoo-ver attack is that many traditional Republicans will be more willing to bolt their ticket if the President is made out to be a Republican only by chance. Since the country normally is Republican by about 7,000,000, the Democrats realize they must obtain the margin of victory from among their opponents. Sees Dissatisfied Party Another reason for this sort of flanking movement is the reported dissatisfaction among Old Guard and organization Republicans. The Democrats feel they never have shown any real, affection or loyalty for the President. In this strategy Roosevelt harks back to the kind of campaign conducted by his old chief, Woodrow Wilson. The latter made his appeal to independents, and declared that the Taft brand of Republicanism did not appeal to new elements among the voters, or to the spirit of the “new freedom Roosevelt’s fifth cousin, the elder “Teddy,” assailed Taft with the same argument.

No More Hemorrhoids All Pile Agony Ended Without Cutting or Salves. If you think a surgical operation is the only way to get rid of riles, it' because you haven't heard of the harmless internal ntedieine discovered by a prominent western physician. After years of study. l>r. .1. S. Leonhardt fouud the cause of Piles to be internal—congestion of blood In the lower bowel—the hemorrhoidal veins flabby; the bowel walls weak; the parts almost dead. Right away the doctor set to work to find a real internal remedy. He succeeded, and after prescribing it for 1.000 patients, with success in over 900 cases, he named his prescription HEM-ROID. Thu doctor wants every Pile sufferer to benefit by his discovery, and so there will bo no doubting or delay Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores and druggists every where are authorised to sell HEM ROID with guarantee of money-back If It does not end Piles in any form. So why waste time on external treatments or think of an operation when HEM-ROID tablets are guaranteed.—Advertisement.

Evelyn Dean sits alongside to provide inspiration as Lew Pollock racks his brain for another “Charmaine.” This Is the sixth and concluding article of a series on Tin Pan Alley, mythical street of melody. BY JACK FOSTER Times Staff Writer Convrleht. 1932. bv the New York WorldTelegram Corporation) the other day Billy Jerome died, and I guess this lidn’t mean much to the smart young fellows stabbing herrings in Lindy's restaurant. And I don't suppose they’d hush their hectic lying to each other if you told them that Maude Nugent still lives quietly in the Bronx. For on Hot-Cha Alley, where only palaver is permanent, the people and songs of the funny old da-ys seldom ever are called to mind. These young-men-about-their-herrings, you see, have no time to plug anything except the sensational and colossal present. Breathlessly they tear through their breakfast at noon and then hurry out in front of the restaurant to spend two hours picking their teeth. But, if they weren’t so busy, they’d remember that Billy Jerome wrote “Bedelia,” “Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat,” “Chinatown, My Chinatown” and “Where Did You Get That Hat?” His wife, Maude Nugent, a variety actress, wrote “Sweet Rosie O'Grady” while, incidentally, he was at a ball game. And each of these was "the hum of the hour, as great relatively, I suspect, as Ramona with her mission bells was a few years ago. I refer to Mr. Jerome’s passing, particularly, because he is a good starting point from which to follow sketchily the changing themes and tempos of the Alley, as a background to the sad days that have come to song. tt tt tt JUST before the turn of the century, when the original Tin Pan Alley came into being, sentimental ballads prevailed, lyrics so sad that they are funny, and by these I mean “The Picture Turned to the Wall” and "Molly and I and the Baby.” Well, after somewhat over ten years of musical sorrow, when the most necessary equipment of a prima donna was a handkerchief, Irving Berlin chucked his waiter’s tray and came up from the Bowery with “Alexander's Rag Time Band” and "When I Lost You.” This was better stuff than his predecessors had polished off, and it became a sort of guide-post to new tempos and rhythms. Some critics are sure that “Alexander’s Rag Time Band” was the first faint note of jazz. Anyhow, jazz certainly came to town when, twelve years ago, the Dixieland band—five sizzling Negro lads —forsook Chicago for Broadway. At first it was by no means sure that what was Chicago's loss was anything but New York’s gain. Nobody gave much of a thought

Gene Buck, president of the American. Society of. Authors,. Composers and Publishers. in the post-war era about anything except to be individually reckless. But with the soothing of palpitating emotions and the refining of dance orchestras, such as Paul Whiteman’s, popular music became smarter and exceedingly finer.' st THERE was, of course, a sort of general flurry on the Alley four years ago when the pictures were taught how to speak even when not spoken to. There nothing to it, but Hollywood must have songs.—hundreds, thousands of songs—and so the bright boys left Manhattan like pilgrims bound for Mecca to establish another Alley of Crazy Rhythms in the Golden West. Those w'ere silly days. Film companies bought in on publishing firms, and only recently .have most of them disposed of these holdings at great loss. Writers wandered about the lots like Chinese correspondents, not sure exactly w r hat they w'ere supposed to do. “We need a rhapsody for this picture,” the director announce. “Just give me a pencil—that’s all—just give me a pencil,” the writer would reply. Lew r Pollock w r as the first composer to click in the films with his “Diane” and “Charmaine.” He was signed under a five-year contract at SSOO a w r eek. But he failed to produce another hit, and it was only a few months ago that his contract was bought off. In the last few years, too,
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Torn between the stage and Tin Pan Alley, Harold Arlen might be described as being “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.” there has been a great increase in the number of foreign songs that have found favor here. Outstanding among these are “Goodnight, Sweeheart,” from England; “Two Hearts and ThreeQuarters Time,” from Germany, and “Just a Gigolo,” from France, where, it seems, a gigolo has quite as distinguished a standing as a game warden does here. Over the whole world, however, American popular music prevails. Jack Hylton, the eminent British dance band conductor, recently conducted a jazz concert in Berlin. Ninety-five per cent of the music was created by the geniuses on Tin Pan Alley. tt tt tt TT’S a tough Alley for a young- -*• ster to crack. Hoeing corn in Kansas is a pleasure in comparison with it. Only a few songs can be exploited at once, and the handwork of the veteran craftsman is what they want. Possibly it is true, as Lew Brown insists, that no scrivener of a substantial series of successes has struck the Alley in the last twenty years. Nevertheless, there is promise of a grand brand of material from such striplings as Dana Suesse, whose ‘Jazz Nocturne” already has been noted; Johnny Greene, who with his lyricist, Eddie Heyman, wrote “Body and Soul” and “Out of Nowhere”; Lou Alter, author of a “Manhattan” suite “Serenade,” “Moonlight” and “Masquerade”; and particularly Harold Arlen, whose skill shines through "Between the “Devil and the Deep Blue Sea,” “Minnie and the Moocher’s Wedding Day” and “Music, Music Everywhere.” But a cloud hangs over Tin Pan Alley. Dispositions are sour, even herring eating has ceased to be an adventure, and the official dress is sackcloth and ashes. For business has been offered to the devil, and even he won’t let it in. Sales of sheet music in the last six years have sunk well over 50 per cent. While in 1927 “Romona” sold three mil-
lion copies, only 900,000 wanted Rudy Vallee's "Maine Stein Song,” greatest hit of immediate days. And they’ve cominced themselves there is no possibility of ever again reaching the nearly four million sales of the Frank Davis-Max Prival “Lullaby Land.” The End
