, rd GREAT FIGURES OF | Killer Because ‘Mother Cried’ PAST TAKENO PART IN CURRENT DRIVE Price Says Many Out of Sym- pathy With Stands Taken by Party Leaders By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, the Associated Press, Washington) The poet who pondered so yearn- ingly the whereabouts of the snows of yesteryear would find in this cam- paign strong inspiration for his plain- tive muse. Where are the political giants of other times? What of those names known to fame which s0 lately adorned the headlines daily and nightly rode the ether waves? Where are they hidden away? Some few of the great figures of the campaign might be recognizable, it is true, to the returning native, after a short visit to Mars. The voice of President Roosevelt would ring familiarly. Memory would stir to the exhortations of Al Smith and Frank Lowden. But through long weeks of cam- paigning the returned traveller would have looked in vain for many others who have played the role of stars but recently. His impression, far be- yond that of ordinary campaign years, would be that the numerous company of his old favorites had passed over almost en bloc to the port of missing men. Among Those Missing Those who have been conspicuously absent from the hustings through the heat and burden of the day include outstanding figures of both parties, ahd represent almost every known shade of political thought. Consider some of the most. promin- ent. The vice president of the United States, John N. Garner. The only living ex-president, Her- bert Hoover. ~ The only living ex-vice president, Charles G. Dawes. A former presidential nominee, John W. Davis. The dean of the senate, William E. Borah. A former vice presidential nominee with Theodore Roosevelt, Hiram Johnson, - A revered senate veteran, Carter Glass. The recognized chief of the. brain trust, Dr. Rexford G, Tugwell. Tt would be a mistake to draw any hasty conclusion, applicable to the whole list of the missing. Senator Glass, for instance, is un- der physician's orders. Some others are plainly out of sympathy with their present party leadership, and it is the common understanding among politicians that still others have been asked to remain as silent as possible. The sum total, however, is impres- sive. The campaign of 1936 is almost as notable for the silence it has pro- voked in some quarters as for the noise it has stirred up in others. Voters in the Late October has brought one or two of the absent back to the foot- lights to take fleeting bows. These appearances have not, however, changed the general picture. The voter is told by both that the decision of Nov. 3 will be vital to the future of the country. He is urged to study the issues, to inform me, ; ‘THe BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1936 Because he “couldn't stand his mother’s tears,” Grady Bowden, 15, is in Memphis, Tenn., jail, charged with the murder of his stepfather, Ruben Barker, 27. Shown here in his schoolboy skull cap as he talked to police, the lad admitted that he shoved his rifle through a window screen and shot Bares wy pa as he out of his auto, eeanne: Ne chuiged! Barker had mistreated Grady’s mother. himself, to consider carefully for whom his ballot shall be cast, Yet through most of the campaign he is deprived of the advice of public fig- ures whose opinions he has valued highly in the past. The explanations in individual cases are, as noted, many and vari- ous. The public is left to draw its own conclusions as to how far diplo- macy has entered into these state- ments of the cause. The effect re- fnains the same. In an epochal year, the seeker after light encounters Great areas of darkness. It hardly seems to make sense. But perhaps it is one of the inevitable Tesults of party politics. Corrects Details of Sheep Stealing Case Correction of some details of an item which appeared recently in The Tribune was contained in a letter re- ceived ‘Thursday from Mrs. Iva Dun- can of Arena. ‘The story told of the arrset of Ja- cob and Fred Meier for stealing sheep belinging to. H. 8. Duncan, Arena farmer. The fact, according to the letter from Mrs. Iva Duncan was that the sheep were the property of Miss Iva Duncan, their daughter. The Tribune story said the check given to the Meiers by a Fargo firm which bought the,sheep was “turned over to Duncan... This was technic- ally incorrect. The check is being held by the sheriff's office until the case is disposed of. After that the Meters will be asked to sign it and it will be turned over to Miss Duncan..

It’s never cheapened or changed. And no housewife can afford to experiment with cheap flours of un- even and uncertain quality. Dakota Maid is milled from 100% premium North Dakota hard spring wheat, and each ship- ment has to pass our own kitchen baking labora- tory tests. That is why you can use Dakota Maid for every baking purpose and be sure of the best results, every time. When you buy flour, insist on Dakota Maid—a quality North Dakota product.

NON-POLITICAL WOMAN BROADCASTS TO WOMEN Anita McCormick Blaine comes out for Roosevelt LISTEN IN ON KFYR OR ANY STATION LISTED BELOW, TOMORROW MORNING AT 9:30 A. M. MRS. BLAINE SAYS: lt 6s the spirit of the founders of our country that should be preserved for the people—the spirit of independence from tradition—the following ef principle wherever it leads—the willingness to endure hardship for the sake of principle. This spirit, rather than crystallized forms, commands the allegiance of out people. * President Roosevelt has aot at any time signified a purpose not to com- ply with Supreme Court decisions. CONSTITUTION To charge that a proposal to amend the constitution is disregard of the Constitution, isto condemn the present Republican candidate and all the framers of, and all the voters for, all of the 21 amendments to the con- stitution. PARTY LINES Issues between the two main parties have been dimmed. The country would be benefitted by a new aligoment of parties which would present vividly the living issues of today and tomor- fow—not issues and phrases which were realities when they were adopted, but which ace historic reminiscences today. The founders of our country “s did not rest on historic reminiscences. They acted on what was before them. _ WORLD TRADE My greatest concern is that the present administration be continued at the _ * helm with its vital, harmonigus trade agreements between nations; with its attitude of open minded friendliness and fairness; with its experience and understanding of world issues. The opposition patty would lock thé gate between us and the rest of the world. We can not countenance such an in- fluence. RS. EMMONS BLAINE, daughter of Cyrus Hall McCormick, who invented the reaper, daughter- in-law of James G. Blaine, great Republican states- man, has always taken wealth and social position as responsibilities. Mrs. Blaine served as a hard-working, influential member of the Chicago Board of Education and was a founder of the School of Education of the University of Chicago. She has been a strong influence in many progressive movements, but has not entered into poli- tics. She is making this broadcast as the representative of no political party but on her own initiative and at her own expense. Every intelligent, conscientious voter will want to hear why Mrs. Blaine has declared for the re-election of Franklin D. Roosévelt. Rising above class and partisan- ship, she makes her points with simplicity and sincerity. Tune in one of these stations at 10:30 Eastern Standard Time; or 9:30 Central Standard Time. 10:30 A. M.

BLAINE SAYS: What is the responsibility of a candidate to the platform of bis party? Our President must be President of all the poople—not merely of a majority. He must lead minority as well as majority under all circumstances — unforeseen as well as foreseen—and the reliance on bis breadth of view, bis co-relation of all factions, must be counted on as more fundamental than bis responsibilities to bis party. * SOCIAL SECURITY The social security law is viciously misrepresented with last minute charges of double taxation and the implication that workmen bear its whole expense. These are not the facts. It is a glorious reality that at last our national government has recognized an obligation to the whole people for theie security—to provide at least a°minimum insurance against unemployment and poverty in old age. These pensions are as secure as the United States is secure. EXPENDITURES Statements of the opposition to sup- port the charge of excessive expendi- ture are in total figures which do not give the voter any basis for judgment. The mere blanket charge of excess expenditure does not enlighten the voter—especially when the figures are in billions. Expenditures must be thought of ia connection with the financial state of the nations-and the needs of the nation. ; RELIEF If we can not avoid the loss of lives we might as well be bankrupt and begin over again from the ground up. ‘This earth is for living people—for all liviag people, and we are just be- ginning to find out how to serve and conserve and develop them.
