FACE TAMMANY REVOLT AGAINST JIMMY WALKER Priest’s Eulogy at Funeral of Honored Political Chieftain Is Theme. BY LOWELL L. LEAKE United Pre Staff Correaitnndrnt NEW YORK. Oct. 6.—James J. Walker, If he fails of renomination for mayor tonight as result of a revolt with Tammany Hall, may blame that revolt in part on Catholic sentiment voiced in a funeral sermon—a priest's eulogy over the body of an honored Tammany chieftain. And if Walker is renominated, resentment may lead to a fusion of independent Democrats and Republicans behind a candidate such as Joseph V. (Holy Joe* McKee, supported by Alfred E. Smith, Franklin Roosevelt and Herbert H. Lehman, state Democratic leaders. Such a candidacy, plus revolt within Tammany against Walker, might cause the overthrow of the boss of Tammany Hall, John F. Curry, and the loss to Tammany Hall of city patronage, 120,000 political jobs, that are the life blood of the organization.

Voice Revolt at Funeral A revolt is under way. It flared at Albany when district leaders deserted the bosses to support Lehman, candidate of Smith and Roosevelt for the gubernatorial nomination. It has been smoldering for months; it was voiced openly, and in public at the funeral of Martin G. McCue, just two weeks ago today. McCue, a former prize fighter, rose in Tammany ranks, went to the state senate, fought the battles of the poor, and became an idol of the east side hero worshipers. Ten thousand admirers heard the eulogy of him. These devout churchmen and women read into that praise for McCue a subtle criticism of other public officials. Justly or wrongly, they read the words of Msgr. John P. Chidwick, chaplain on the battleship Maine when it was sunk, and thought of the Hofstadter committee revelations concerning the alleged activities of their resigned playboy Broadway mayor. News of what was said spread by word of mouth. Political jobs were threatened. District leaders have been given courage to change bosses, and for the huge convention tonight by the words of Msgr. Chidwick, aimost unnoticed by the general public the day they were uttered; Standard Set for Conduct "Would to God every man in public life would understand that he (McCue) is an example, a model and a guide to young people who are apt to be drawn to him. "Not only in official life, but in private life, every man in public life should be clean and pure—an inspiration to the young people who are growing up to look to him as an example. "He never," Msgr. Chidwick said of McCue; “permitted temptation to steal into his heart when success came, or to make his life an object of scorn. He never branded the souls of his children by forgetting his home ... he was a bigger man than any position he ever held. “He never sought to enrich himself by pilfering the public treasury. * “He died almost as poor as the day he took office. No one can accuse him of asking any gratuity for a favor." The priest’s words that day became an unofficial standard of conduct for public officials, especially those of the Catholic faith. BATTLE FOR 3 LIVES Children Victims of Deadly Poison; No Known Antidote. Bii I nitrd Press TULANE, Cal., Oct. 6.—Three small children battled for life in a hospital here today against the deadly poison thallium, for which medical science has no positive antidote. The youngsters were Virginia Wilson, 2; her brother, David, 4, and Estelle Baker, 3.

COHAN TO MAKE HIS MOVIE DEBUT HERE ‘The Phantom President,’ a Political Comedy Which Was Successful Novel, Opens Friday at Circle. ONE of America's best-known stage personalities makes his talkingpicture debut in "The Phantom President." political comedy, which comes to the Circle theater Friday. He is George M. Cohan, known to both Broadway and the "road" as one of the stage's most prolific actors, playwrights, producers, and songwriters. Claudette Colbert and Jimmy “Schnozzle" Durante are also featured in the cast. Though it is his first talking picture, and his first venture into Hollywood, "The Phantom President" is not Cohan's first movie. Back

in 1915, when films were still a more or less crude proposition, he made several in a New York studio. During a career extending back more than three decades, * Cohan has personally written and produced forty plays, and collaborated in writing and acting ten others. His musical efforts have kept pace. “Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "Give My Regards to Broadway," written by him for a show of his own back in 1904. were his first hits; "Over There.” to which American troops marched off to France in 1917 and 1918 was perhaps his greatest. Making his talkie debut in "The Phantom President,” Cohan plays two roles. His first is as a banker who is qualified for the presidency in every respect but one—he hasn’t the personality to get votes. His second is as the banker’s "double,” a medicine show barker fairly oozing personality, who is fitted to impersonate the banker to get him votes. A dramatic climax ultimately reveals the situation to the public. Miss Colbert is cast as the daughter of an ex President, object of adoration of both Cohans. Durante, with his “'schnozzle,” is the medicine show barker's pal. The supplementary program during this week includes Donald Novis, popular radio star, in a comedy presentation, a Screen Souvenir and Paramount News. tt tt u SYMPHONY SOCIETY CONTINUES ITS DRIVE Mrs. Herbert Woollen today was of the opinion that the twenty-five teams working to put over the $lO,000 membership for the Indiana State Symphony society which supports the.

Whether you believe it or not, the fact remains that bankers are no better nor are they worse, no wiser nor less intelligent than any other men or any other classes of men. Bankers were not to be blamed for the depression nor will they deserve the credit for the inevitable recovery

They ask for no consideration other than that granted to their fellow-men, but in all seriousness of purpose and desire to serve, they are offering the best they have to the American people, in the earnest hope that they may count on their understanding and co-operation.
