KENTUCKY IS HEADING BACK TO DEMOCRATS Poetic Efforts of G. 0. P. Senatorial Candidate Enliven Campaign. BY RAY TUCKER, Timrt Staff Writer LOUISVILLE. Oct. 10.—Although Kentucky has a prospective poet who might write the “great poem ’ which President Herbert Hoover says the country needs, it will not send that poet to the senate or provide the President with a pleasing political poem. Nov. fi The Blue Grass state, according to all indications, is heading back lor Democratic pasture after having voted for President Harding. Coolidge and Hoover. It also is expected to re-elect Senator Alben W. Barkley over his Republican opponent, Representative Maurice Thatcher, whose poetic efforts have furnished some humor to an otherwise cut-and-dried campaign. Polls in the large cities show Governor Roosevelt running away from Hoover by four and three to one. Even in Louisville, the home of Robert E. Lucas, executive director of the national committee, the Democratic nominee may fare better than the President. In the normally Republican cities of the northern /section, it virtually is all Democratic now. Hard Times Make Issue Hard times and dissatisfaction over the climax of the three administrations they helped to elect have transformed Kentuckians into wildeyed Democrats. If the cities go Democratic, there can he little doubt over the outcome. The rural sections are largely Democratic, reversing the alignment in many other states. In country districts, the voters are more akin to those of the solid south. Moreover, tobacco, blue grass and livestock are bringing exceptionally low prices, and these are the state's staple crops. Another issue hurting Hoover is prohibition, for this domain of bcauful women, beautiful bourbon and beautiful horses is recovering from its reform headache. Political forces a,re working against the administration. The Democrats are in high spirits as a result of state and local victories in the last two years. The Republicans are divided, and without funds. Lucas admitted as much on a recent visit home. Some Favor Thomas In the normally Republican mountain districts, and in the mining sections, there is much sentiment for Norman Thomas. Whereas Hoover carried Kentucky by 178.000 when the Klan and drys were in control, and the religious issue cut into the Democratc vote, John H. Richmond, Democratic state chairman, now predicts Roosevelt will win by 100,000. A Democratic sweep in the atlarge election of nine representatives also is forecast. Richmond and Barkley do not mince words in attacking Hoover, and the people seem to like a strong distillation of political speech down this way. Barkley refers to the Hoover regime as a time of "exploitation of our people," and lambastes “Republican debauchery too vivid in our memory to require repetition." Richmond calls Hoover a "brokendown horse they ask us to keep,” and continually refers to the President's cabinet association with Albert B. Fall and Harry M. Daugherty. Embarrassed by Toetry While Barkley, former Anti-Sa-loon League orator, is running on the party’s repeal plank, Thatcher rides up and down the state proclaiming his dryness. The congressman, a tall, solemn individual, has been embarrassed by the recent disclosure that, while civil administrator of the Panama canal some years ago, he tried his hand at poetry. Here is a sample: “Drift, clouds, drift, far o’er the western sea: Rift, Clouds, rift, in loneliness to me. Blow , winds, hlon L Flow, tides, flow ! Gild all with ittorv, sun, we ask of thee." Now the Democrats are reciting the following parody written by a political columnist on a Covington newspaper: “Tramp, boys, tramp, two cark hut people walk! Stew, chicken, stew, none in any pot! Talk, Herb, talk! Balk, mule, balk! The times are bad Herb, but we blame thee not.” COMMITTEES NAMED FOR BENEFIT PARTIES Women of Moose Will Entertain at Two Affairs Thursday. Committees have been named and plans completed for benefit card parties to be given by the Indianapolis chapter, Women of the Moose, at 2:30 p. m. and 8:30 p. m.

BY WALTER HUSTON PEOPLE who live in glass houses shouldn t try to build their own homes. I know the bitter truth of that, because I’ve tried. Having been an actor most of mV life, 1 decided for once to escape the glass house state of existence. So I bought a lot above Lake Arrowhead, several miles away and above the lake, which is in the Sierras about 100 miles from Los Angeles and a mile above sea level. The site is known as the “Rim o’ the World.” The only two houses anywhere near belong to Reginald Denny and George Hill, the director. Here I planned a hideaway, a “love nest” for my wife and myself. I drew my own plans—a small mountain cabin, just big enough for two, quiet and lonely. * REG DENNY and George Hill came over the day I started. When they looked at my plans they laughed. It was entirely too small —only big enough for two. I laughed right back at them. “You fellows can have your palaces,” I told them. “I want to rough it.” "You'll have your mind changed.” they chorused. I didn’t get the significance of that until I had the outer framework up and brought my wife to see it. “But where’s the guest room?” she demanded. "What guest room?” But I knew then and there we would have a guest room. "And how about the tennis court?” "We're going to chop down trees for exercise,” I informed her. But the foundation for a tennis court was soon laid. Not only that, but a gymnasium, too. nun THEN I showed her the dining room. “Do you expect our guests to eat in relays?” was her icy comment. The upshot, of that was that the dining room was doubled in size.

In fact, the whole house doubled in size. And originally I had planned to build my house out of rough-hewn logs. Anybody now can have those logs who’ll take the trouble to haul them away. lam building my house out of smooth-finished wood. And yesterday we decided to put : in a swimming pool, too! Now, when Denny and Hill pass by and see me working they laugh. But I'm still laughing back at them I because I'm going to love it. I And anyway, it isn’t my house—--1 it’s my wife's. Next—Marie Dressier gives some sage advice. $8,500 IS FIRE LOSS Flames Take Toll in City Over Week-End. Fire losses over the week-end in ! Indianapolis are estimated at $8,500.

BYRD SINCERITY CHALLENGED DY LEGION LEADER Harbord, Sims, Al Smith Also Questioned by State Commander. “We can not help doubting the I sincerity of many of the men who are backing the National Economy League,’’ declared William O. Neli son, of Anderson. Indiana department commander of the American I Legion,, Saturday on his first visit j to the state legion offices since he i took office Oct. 1. j “They oppose payment of thebonus because they say it would ruin j the government financially. But ; Admiral Richard E. Byrd receives ! $6,000 yearly from the government jin retirement pay and disability : allowance. That, in effect, is a | bonus. General James G. Harbord and; j Admiral William S. Sims receive $6,000 eacjj year in retirement pay. “Alfred E. Smith gets $6,103 a ! year from New York state for beI ing former Governor. . Defends Congress’ Act *‘lf these men argue that their ; pensions, which are nothing more : than adjusted compensation, are right, how can they oppose the pay- ; ment of similar compensation to j others who have performed service for the government?” Nelson defended the congressional act giving hospitalization to veterans for injuries not received in service/ "The legion did not encourage passage of this law.” he said, “but : medical authorities now say that 75 ! to 80 per cent of the cases getting I help under this act actually have ailments traceable to the war.” Supports League Logic Most of these cases, Nelson said, ■ j could not get government treatment I before because of technicalities. | The Indiana commander stated j that only in the stand for elimina- | tion of new government hospitals ; is the economy league's argument backed by logic. “If private hospitals can lake care of the ex-service men. I see no reaI son for building government units,” he said. The economy league proposes the elimination ot hospitals as a measure to save the government almost $13,000,000. The whole program of the league seeks to save more than $452,000,003.
