The New York World says experts predict that Mr. Walker will be re-elected Mayor of New York by an overwhelming majority — probably only a| little less than his 402,000 margin of four years; ago. The betting, it say is ten to one that he will win and there is v little LaGuardia money | at those odds. Mr. Walker, the World says, believes | his majority will exceed the 385,000 the experts have figured out for him. These figures give him every one of the five New York boroughs by majori- ties of from 15000 Richmond to 125,000 in Brooklyn. We shall not be in suspense long if we are in- terested in the The World's predictions because the election will occur tomorrow.

Bronx gained 80,000, Manhattan 13,000, and Richmond 11,000.

A PREMIER § DIES. Senator Theodore E.' Burton of Ohio, Who diefl this week at Washington, was one of America’s premier statesmen. He earned his position among public men near the top by his thoroughness and his unswerving integrity. He was a conservative of conservatives and at one time was a target for the Rooseveltans on that account, but he &l- ways retained the confidence of everybody, includ- ing his political enemies. Senator Burton was among the most finished | scholars in public life. He had a fine education| with a foundation based on a passion for the truth both in the abstract and as to facts. He was a prodigious reader and pursued the classics and best writers of history and economics throughout a long lifetime. Slow in arriving at conclusions he fought for his convictions with a courage that had no regard for his own political preferment. Senator Burton, as a Representative and Senator in Congress, rendered his country very valuable services. Gov. Myers Y. Cooper will find it dif- ficult to replace him in the Senate with one who will be as effective as a law-maker and as an ad- viser of the Administration. 5, FREEMAN OF SUDBURY, SUFFOLK. GEN. DAWES, No matter what betides Ambassador Dawes will be a voter some place. If he should decide to re- main in England he could go down to the little town of Sudbury in Suffolk and cast his vote in town matters, because he has been officially made a freeman of the p 3 This honor to a blunt speaking, forthright Yankee was, of course, a tribute to a distinguished American and former Vice-President who has won the hearts | and admiration of Britons during his short term there | as Ambassador. However, technically, it is due to the circumstance that Sudbury in Suffolk was the home of the last English Dawes ancestor. It was from Sudbury that a stonemason named William Dawes departed for New England in 1635 on the | ship Planter. He founded an American family in| Massachusetts, off-shoots of which moved westward. One of those off-shoots produced Gen. Charles G. Dawes, who is big enough and fine enough to bring fame to any set of any ancestral location. Sudbury has made itself known and done ftself honor by making the American General a freeman among its citizens. ancestors and IF BUELOW HAD BEEN CHANCELLOR! Someday someone may write a book that willf be entied “Ifs in History.” There is ample material for a book and one that would test the insight and reasoning capacities—if not imagination—of the writer. 5 If such a book was written, a chapter would have to be devoted to what might have been “If” Prince von Buelow had not been succeeded by Dr. von Bethmann-Holweg.

Another expedition into the unmapped regions around the sources of the Orinoco is planned for next Spring by Herbert S. Dickey under the aus- pices of the Museum of the American Indian. It ship and no less than the fifth dedicated to the hope of finding an ancient civilization. For many years the Dark Continent has been not Africa but South America. Though occupied within a very few years after its discovery, it still contains Rivers of Doubt for twentieth-century ex- plorers to discover, and modern peoples and ancient civilization to run down and identify. The hard- ships of 1929 cannot but re-emphasize the courage and endurance and lusts of the conquistadores of four hundred years ago. Within forty years after Columbus, Spanish and German adventurers were beating the forests, llanos and swamps of the Orinoco-Amazon country in quest of the golden city of Manoa.

However, we'll do our best tonight.” More and more goblins kept join- bonfire. “Let's have broomstick races first There | of all,” the leading witch suggested. John and Peggy and all the oth- ers put on tall, black hats. Then they each picked out a broomstick rom a great pile nearby, and up in the air they flew. “T'll be the judge,” said the Little Black Clock. 1t seemed strange that it wasn't difficult to stay up in the air, and when the Little Black Clock said, “One, two, three, Go,” they all started off. Straight across the field they raced, and the most wonderful thing of all was that John, who had never ridden on a broomstick be- fore, won! He was very proud, but he was afraid the witches might feel bad that one of their number had not been victorious. “Perhaps,” he said after they were back-on the ground again, “you're all a bit out of practice.” Of course he had never had any practice, but he didn’t want to say, that. “You're just a natural-born broom stick racer,” the witches and gob- lins told him. “We'll have to give our special Hallowe'en parade your honor.” LETTERHEADS as we print them evidence your business progress VICTOR RADIO 10 Tubes Complete $178.00 A Late Assortment of VICTOR RECORDS Now Being Demonstrated JUNEAU MELODY I HOUSE Temporary location over Dr. Pigg's Office We will have the newest and most up to date Perma- nent Waving equip- graphical Review the results of three years' inten- sive exploration south of Bogota in the region be- tween the Eastern Cordillera and the headwaters of the Meta, a confluent of the Orinoco.

The Canadian wheat situation today is a most interesting one. Prince Rupert, being one of the outlets for the flow of grain, is particularly inter- ested in what is going on. It seems as if it is a case of Canada against us in the matter of wheat prices. They want to get »1hcir supply as cheaply as possible and it seems as if they were using Argentine and other sup- plies to try to beat down the Canadian rate. As a result, largely of the Pool operations, Canada is able to hold out. If she wins, the Pool will have scored a notable victory; but if she loses and has to sell at low rates, the Pool will be given a terrific jolt. Naturally, Canadians want to see the Canadian farmers get the highest possible prices. If they are prosperous the whole country prospers. *If they are finding life a struggle, the same condition is com- municated to others. We notice where a local store (there are prob- ably others) is advertising cabbages from Hope and turnips from Moose Pass for sale.
