6.0. P. FIGHTS BACK TO WALL IN CONNECTICUT “Al Smith Only Needed to v Cinch Electoral Votes for Roosevelt. BY LEO B. SACK Tim' 1 * Stzff Writer NEW HAVEN, Sept. 17.-A1 Smith is needed to cinch Connecticut's eight electoral votes for Franklin D. Roosevelt, but since Maine went Democratic in such a big way the help of the “unhappy warrior" is not considered quite as necessary as it was last week. If Smith comes out with a forthright, even though belated, indorsement of Roosevelt—as many politicians believe he will—Connecticut

will be counted as safely Democratic. Until Maine went Democratic, politicians agreed that A1 Smith's help was all that was necessary to capitalize the discontent. As in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Jersey, Smith's Connecticut friends stood by

him to the bitter end at the Chicago convention. Since thpn the '‘whispering” campaign to the effect that he was “cheated out of the nomination” has been worked overtime in an effort to arouse Roman Catholics against Roosevelt. But even before the Maine election, this campaign was losing its effectiveness, while the Democratic organization was strengthening its resources. , Economic Conditions Bad Economic conditions are even worse here than in Maine because of the wider diversification of industries, larger population, and the fact that so many residents earn their livelihood in New York, and so many Connecticut industries are dependent upon New York industrial -conditions. No upturn in business has been reflected in Connecticut. here is (hat Representative John Q. Tilson, former Republican leader of the house, and now chief of the speakers’ bureau at Republican national committee eastern headquarters in New York, voluntarily retired from congress after twenty-twb years because of the belief that he could not be elected this year. Bingham Fights Vigorously Despite this, the state G. O. P. under the direction of National Committeeman J. Henry Roraback is preparing to fight vigorously. The Republican organization, since the Maine warning, realizes that, it must fight harder. Senator Hiram Bingham, renominated for a second term, is capitalizing his senate efforts in behalf of prohibition repeal, with the backing of the Republican state convention which adopted a straightout repeal platform in contrast with the Republican “straddle” plank ! adopted at Chicago. Bingham, also, is charging senate Democrats with hypocrisy because they did not vote for immediate modification of the Volstead law, when he sponsored such a measure ! just before congress adjourned. Representative Augustine Lonergan of Hartford, Democratic senate nominee in 1020 and in 1928. friend of A1 Smith and one of the strongest Democrats in the state, is Bingham's opponent. G. O. P. Faces Big Task Complicating the senatorial contest is the prospective independent candidacy of Professor Albert Levitt of Redding, dry and vigorous critic of Roraback’s public utility affiliations. Levitt may take away enough votes from Bingham to cinch Lonergan's election. Governor Wilbur Cross, Democrat, is expected to win over former Governor John H. Trumbull, whose daughter married Calvin Coolidge's son. Democratic control of the municipal machinery in New Haven. Hartford, Waterbury, Bridgeport, Meriden. Bristol and Stamford, combined with the Governor's patronage, constitutes a state-wide Democratic machine, which, when added to the widespread criticism of President Hoover, makes the Republican task extremely difficult. WOMAN EVANGELIST IS TAKEN BY DEATH Mrs. Blanche Cardiss. 53, Is Victim of Heart Disease. Mrs. Blanche Cardiss. 53, who, with her 'husband, the Rev. J. C.

‘GAG’ CURTIS ON LIQUOR ISSUE Pennsylvania Speech Today to Avoid Dry Fight. WASHINGTON. July 17.—VicePresident Charles Curtis will avoid all dirpet reference to prohibition when he opens the Pennsylvania campaign at a Republican rally in Fogelsville today. Instead, he will*talk about farm relief. Curtis’ Pennsylvania remarks will be closely heeded in Washington, because it will be his first speech since his acceptance spepch. and probably his only speech along the Atlantic seaboard unless Republican plans are changed. It, incidentally, will be the first speech in the east by any major Republican campaigner since Maine went Democratic. The Vice-President's decision to dodge the controversial prohibition issue results from the numerous protests made by Pennsylvania Republican leaders against any speech by him at all because of his sharp difference of opinion from President Herbert Hoover on what the Republican platform promises by way of prohibition reform. Pennsylvania Republican leaders now are trvjng hard to sell Keystone voters that Hoover is just ns wet as Roosevelt.

Minnesota Leans Toward Cause of Gov. Roosevelt

Democrats Joining Forces With Farmer-Labor Leaders. By Scrippx-Howard Newspaper Atiinnce MINNEAPOLIS. Sept. 17.—Only the shadow of Alfred E. Smith lies across the path to Democratic victory in the presidential election in Minnesota. Barring seridus inroads into Governor Roosevelt's strength by the Smith faction, which threatens to file a national ticket headed by Smith for President and Governor Joseph Ely of Massachusetts, the Democratic presidential nominee should carry this Farmer-Labor state. Straw votes at county fairs show him enjoying a two-to-one lead over President Hoover now. Though there are many special reasons for this situation. Roosevelt's best chance lies in the virtually open alliance his friends have formed with Governor Floyd Olson,

who shares the leadership of the Farmer-Labor- party with Senator Frank Henrik Shipstead. Olson can be re-elected only with Democratic votes, and Roosevelt can carry the state only with Farmi er-Labor support. Olson openly has praised Roosevelt. William Mahoney, Farmer-Labor mayor of St. Paul, recently introduced Mayor J. J. Curley of Boston at a Roosevelt rally and advised all "Propressives” to support the Democratic nominee. Despite some grumbling among both Farmer-Labor and Democratic rank and file, the entente is assuming definite shape. The Smith threat is different from that in other states. The faction favoring the Smith-Ely ticket is using their names largely to cement control of the Democratic organization. It does not consist, as in other states of men resentful at the re--1 buff suffered by the 1928 nominee at Chicago. It is simply a struggle for local control waged between the Regan-O'Neil group and the WolfBremer forces.

The patients were to have undergone operations for removal of their tonsils.

With all the seriousness of his eleven years, William explained that the firm has no salesmen because he feels he is better able to represent their products than any employe could do. Their business, located in the basement of their Allentown home, started through the curiosity of the youngsters. Follow Steps of Dad Their father. Dr. O. Snelling, formerly was in charge of explosive experiments for the United States government, Frequently the boys watched him at work. They asked if they couldn’t experiment, so he allowed them to use harmless chemicals. It was while they were “experimenting" that they discovered a beautiful blue color. It proved to be the basis for their ink business. “School." said William, “is simply wonderful. For if I hadn't gone to School I would never have learned percentages. And without percentages I could never have figured costs and discounts." Outlines Sales Talk The head of the firm explained that Robert, who has not as yet studied percentages in school, made a sale one day for 25 cents under the correct price. “That incident alone proves the value of an education,” he concluded triumphantly. William outlined his “sales talk.” “When I get in a hotel in New York,” he said, “I ask for the purchasing agent. I give him my legular line, then tell him he has a nice hotel. “Asjong as the hotel is so nice, and our ink is so nice, the two would go together.”

50-YEAR SPAN IN AGES FAILS TO HOLD LOVE Man, 85. Sues to Annul Marriage After Escape From Sanitarium. Blood that a year ago coursed as hotly as that of any youth in the veinsjof Frank Heilman, 85. of 41 North Temple avenue, and led him into a midnight flight to Anderson to marry a woman approximately fifty years his junior, has grown somewhat colder today. Wednesday night, Heilman, whose six feet and 200 pounds belie his advanced age. made another midnight flight. This time he took french leave from the Irvington sanitarium for mental cases, Forty-second street and the Millersville road, where he claims he has been detained wrongfully fqr nine months. .Results of Heilman's second flight unravelied themselves in rapid-fire order. He fled to the home of his former guardian, Charles M. Deem, 218 North, Temple avenue, while police and sanitarium authorities searched Irvington. Today there is a suit on file in superior court two in which Hellman, a former railroader, charged his savings of $35,000 were dissipated by his marriage, and in which he asks annulment of the tie. Heilman, according to his petition, was placed under the joint guardianship of Deem and Claude M. Smith two years ago when Marion probate court adjudged him incompetent, because of age, to handle his property. With consummation of his marriage after the elopement to Anderson, the guardianship was and Heilman charges his wife obtained control of -his estate consisting of the home at the Temple avenue address, and preferred real estate stock and bonds. The couple lived together'a few months, Helman's suit charges, and then his wife had him confined in the Irvington sanitarium. Mrs. Heilman's side of the story differs considerably, and labels her towering husband as too dangerous because of mental derangement to be allowed at, large. The mother of two children, Mrs. Heilman said she first came in contact with Heilman as his housekeeper, and that he offered her a home and $5,000 bonus to take care of him the remainder of his life. This offer, she said, occurred several months before their marriage. Her husband, Mrs; Heilman charges, developed the disconcerting habit of walking through a window when he wanted to go, outside the house, if the Window happened to be nearer than the door. Another practice, she asserts, was that of hiding on neighbors’ porches and generally alarming the neighborhood. A hatchet was found under his pillow, she charges, and Heilman spent $4 to have a cistern cleaned to regain a gun she had thrown in it. Heilman’s estate now amounts to approximately $24,000, with dissolution of the guardianship involving a shrinkage of SII,OOO. \

Mountain Climb Inventory Is Started in Colorado

‘Books’ Are Called In From All of State’s 46 Major Peaks. By United Pres* DENVER, Sept. 17.—The annual inventory of the Colorado Mounj tain Climbers’ Club is under way. It is one of the strangest inven- | tories in the country, and it sends j little bands of mountaineers high iup above the clouds, far above timber-line, into the thin, bitin)? atmosphere ' nearly three, miles ; above sea level. The club has called in its record books from mountain peaks of more than 14.000 feet elevation. Buried Beneath Rocks Each year, as soon as climbing |is practical, the club members 1 carry little record books to the top of the great peaks that form the backbone of the Continental Divide. There are forty-six peaks in Colorado, which tower more than 14,000 feet above sea level. Members of the Mountain Climbers’ Club have conquered most of them. The little books are wrapped in oil cloth, and buried beneath rock ! cairns to protect them from the violent storms that play around I the ancient peaks. Then all who climb the peak during the season inscribe their names j in the books. In the early fall, long before it’s fall in the lowlands, the club orders in the books. 25 Higher Than Pike’s Peak Hardy club members have band- | ed together in small groups to make | the perilous ascents to secure the ! books so that the club can make ! its tally of the number of persons { who have reached the greatest j heights the Rockies afford during the 1932 season. Os the 46 peaks that exceed 14,000 feet, 25 of them are higher than Pike’s Peak. There are more than 1.000 peaks in Colorado which are j 10.000 feet or more above sea level.

REED FOSTERS NEW DYNASTY IN MISSOURI Bennett Champ Clark Rising to Brightest Spotlight in State Politics. (Continued From Page One) plishtrents. Clark just has had published a life of “John Quincy Adams'* that is acclaimed by the critics. It may be significant that Adams exhibited the saihe bluntness and boldness to be found in Reed and Clark. Opposed to Reed's prospective successor is Henry w. Kiel, former mayor of St. Louis. He is a goodnatured German, whom everybody loves and calls Henry.’ On quitting a political meeting, he hurries to his hotel to plav pinochle with his friends. As an indication of how the Hoover prohibition plank is hurting. Kiel’s experience is illuminating. Beer is a more important issue here than repeal itself. Everybody says the return of prosperity depends on it alone. Beer makers, coopers, bottle and cork manufacturers, truckers—all await 2.75 per cent beer. So it was up to Henry to convince the voters that beer would flow sooner under Hoover than the Democratic modification pledge. But his beer-loving, pinochle-play-ing comrades were shocked. Looking at each other in amazement, they said: Vy. Henry is turning dry!'* Since then. Kiel contends himself with proclaiming that he is a dripping wet.
