CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER HAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ALASKA T DIMOND AS SURE AS ROOSEVELT. Senator Dimond will open his First Division | campaign at Haines and Skagway this week. He will speak at Juneau and Douglas next week. Dur- ing the three weeks between now and election day he proposes to make as nearly complete a canyass of Southeast Alaska as possible. He will speak in all the important towns, and will be accompanied by other candidates on the Territorial and Divisional Democratic tickets. This First Division campaign is another instance of the “first shall be last.” Mr. Dimond already has made a thorough campaign in the Third and Fourth Divisions. He was prevented from going to Nome by an airplane accident that laid him up for a time. However, his 5,000-mile journey through the Territory with its contacts with the .people has been enough to assure him victory. He has made friends wherever he has been and these friends| are now carrying on his campaign while he covers | the First Division. From information received by The Empire and through letters and word of mouth from people of all sections of Alaska to Juncau people it appears that Mr. Dimond’s election as Delegate to Congress is just as certain as is Gov. Roosevelt’s election to the Presidency. Mr. Dimond is not only personally popular but he has impressed the people with his sincerity and ability. People believe what he tells them and know that he will perform according to his promises, and they have confidence in his ability. They believe that he can come nearer getting what he asks for than any man who has been Delegate to Congress for many years. emy's country.” He has fought for the votes of the East, South, Middle West, Mountains and the Pacific Coast. He has not been provincial or sec- tiontional. He has talked a language that all the people from the industrial, transportation and financial giants to the humblest citizen can under- stand. He does not know class distinction. He is hailed by those in disiress as a deliverer and has not scared those more fortunate in material things | There is no wonder that the certainty of his victory has become more certain as the date of the election draws nearer. The gradual increase of the odds offered on his election by bettors who seek to win their wagers is a natural thing. He has won the election and is holding his lead by the vigor, ability and sincerity of his campaign. Postoffice authorities say the new postage rates have caused a decrease in letter mail. The shrink- age, however, has not been caused by those who have {bills to send out. With tariff wars the order of the times and |contests for trade and more trade the mainsprings jof government some Europeans, even Englishmen, do not seem to understand how it is the United States does not annex Canada. Well, they do not know America. Many Horses. | (Seattle Times) On the paved thoroughfares of the cities a horse is so seldom seen that city dwellers may be inclined to think the species virtually extinct. Attendants upon such fine shows as the Puyallup Fair learn better, of course; and in some cities where “beer parades” lately have been held the splendid progeny of some of the old brewery wagon breed have been brought to public view. But as a rule the cities do not see enough of horses to believe that they are o much use or that there are many of them in these lavishly mot- orized days. And so it will be something of a surprise to find out that the number of horses, as well as the number of mules, is steadily increasing throughout the country. According to the figures assembled by the Horse Association of America there are now more than 15,000,000 horses in use on American farms and about 1,200,000 in other than farm employment. Census of American racetracks accounts for 40,000 running horses and 25,000 trotters and pacers. Mean- while, particularly in the South, the demand for mules is increasing. Breeders and traders in all parts of the country have little complaint to make of “depression” in their lines. To some extent all this is ascribed to the less- ened income of farmers and the cost of farm ma- chine operation and upkeep. But perhaps to some degree the movement is due to rediscovery of the fact that there are some services which horses and mules can give to better advantage than even the best of machines. Canadian Annexation. (Seattle Times.) From a British economist comes the somewhat startling prediction that “economic attraction” ulti- mately may lead to the absorption of Canada by the United States. This will be real news north of the international line; that it will be welcome information or will be generally indorsed is decidedly Mr. Dimond will, here as in the other Divisions, be campaigning among his friends. He always has been strong in Juneau, and now people at Ket- chikan are offering to wager money that he will receive a larger majority in that town than here. The Empire believes that Dimond is as sure of victory as Roosevelt. PLAYING THE GAME. In the arrangement of a non-partisan Judiciary ticket in New York Tammany assented to the nom- ination of State Senator Henry F. Hofstadter, Chair~ man of the Committee for which Judge Samuel Seabury was attorney, that investigated affairs of the New York City Government and made so much trouble for Mayor James J. Walker that he resigned, for Supreme Court Justice. The World-Telegram says a part of the bargain was that the Republicans would nominate a weak Mayoralty candidate in case Mr. Walker were the Democratic nominee. When politics is played as a game it is difficult to know what is coming next. If the World-Tele- gram is right it would seem that Senator Hofstadter plays politics that way and is not adverse to play-’ ing against or with Tammany as it might serve his own game. And Tammany will give an able enemy a fat job in order to win his co-operation. However, fortunately for New York former Gov. Alfred E. Smith and Gov. Roosevelt are working together in the interest of honest politics and the public welfare, and the Mayoralty part of the deal went boom. THEATRE PEOPLE AND ROOSEVELT. A deal has been said about the entertain- ment of Gov. Roosevelt at Hollywood by a consid- erable number of the leading motion picture actors and actresses, and about the activity of the differ- ent members of the profession. The New York Times account of it follows: In the evening Governor Roosevelt at- tended the “motion picture electrical parade and sport pageant” at the Olympic Stadium, put on for him by the motion-picture people. Will Rogers was spokesman and Conrad Nagel master of ceremonies. The pageant was for charity, the proceeds going to the Marion Davies Foundation for Crippled Children. Noted film actors and actresses partici- pated in the demonstration. Among those scheduled to be present were Joe E. Brown, grand marshal; Warner Baxter, Lew Ayres, Constance Bennett, Joan Bennett, Wallace Beery, Nancy Carroll, Jackie Cooper, Claud- ette Colbert, Gary Cooper, Leo Carillo, Bebe Daniels, James Dunn, Charles Farrell, Janet _ Gaynor, Sally Eilers, Ann Harding, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Ben Lyon, William Powell, Boris Karloff, Charles Rogers, War- ren William and Loretta Young. A GREAT CAMPAIGN. Gov. Roosevelt has conducted the most vigorous Presidential campaign since the Bryan days, and ‘more sanely progressive and American than the Bryan contests. He has not mage as many speeches . as Bryan made, but radio and newspapers have w him to reach more people than the great . Commoner reached in his three speaking campaigns. Unlike Bryan, however, he has retognized no ‘“en- open to question. The Dominion has made a dis- tinet success going it alone thus far and there is no reason to believe it will wish to make any important change in a situation that is eminently satisfactory to its people. The strange thing is that all this comment on the possibility of Canada being “absorbed” by the United States comes from Europeans, who are only sketchily acquainted with political and other conditions on this continent. Americans, as well as Canadians, are very happy in the present arrange- ment; each finds in the other good neighbors and good customers. Circumstances some day might in- cline both nations to desire closer political affilia- tions, but those circumstances necessarily would be such as would force them together for the protection of mutual and common interests. Roosevelt as a Campaigner. (New York Tiines.) When Governor Roosevelt set out on his Western journey the Republicans piously hoped that some- where he would stub his toe. There has been no toe-stubbing. On the contrary, the Democratic nom- inee has borne himself well. He has not promised too much, declaring plainly that recovery must be slow, but that he is determined to see, if given power, that improvement be spread over all the country. He has disappointed all who tried to pic- ture him as a “radical” and a man who would give pledges he knew he could not keep. In his contacts with Democratic leaders and other citizens, and his amiable exchanges with people in the crowds which have greeted him, the Governor has been singularly happy. . He has been asking questions, and undoubtedly he has been finding out a good deal about the thought and feeling of people west of the Hudson River. Governor Roosevelt's Western trip was taken against the advice of some of his counsellors. But he has a keen instinct in these matters and was certain that his travels would prove a political success. So far they appear to have been. After Many Years. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, OCT. 18, 1932. b SYNOPSIS: Ferdinand Fran- cis draws a net of circumstan- tial evidence about Ropert Leonard, connecting him with the mysterious series of “goi. dents” which have threatened Jervis Weare’s life, Jervis stubbornly refuses to doubt Lecnard, and demands that Ferdinand prove a motive. Fer- dinand dramatically asserts that Leonard schemes to sepure the Weare estate, through Rosa- mund Carew, 'Jervis' treacher- ous former fiance.

Perhaps he really thinks you loosened the wheel so we'd all die together. Or if—do you think I had a wrench in my pocketbook this afternoon, Jervis. “Scmebody’'s trying to kill you. If it's not Lecnard then it must be Ferdinand or I. . Don't you know .there’s something between Leonard and Rosamund? I don'’t know what it is, but T've known it was something ce the other night in the hotel. “Why didn‘t Rosamund marry you? She wouldn't tell, would she? You should have asked Rob- ert Leonard.” She stopped speaking, bending over the table with her flashing eyes on Jervis. Suddenly he flung out of his chair, strode to 'the floor and opened it. Then he stood back, holding it conventionally. Nan went out with her, head up, and a burning rose on each of her cheeks. Jervis came back to the table. “We'd better shift out of here, or Monk will be coming in. Come into the study.” He did not speak until they were shut in together. Then he walked to the window, which was open ftowards the sunset, frowned &t the blue and golden sky with- out seeing if, turned round, and said. “What's behind all this?” Ferdinand sat on the arm of a shabby, leather chair. ! “Robert,” he replied succinctly. “Damn Robent.” “Well, that's not my business.” “Look here, F. F—" He broke off. “There are things I can't say, even to you.” He walked to the end of the room and back again. “That business ten years ago—you say Leopard was seen coming from thé place where I'd fallen?” “Well, I didn't say fallen. my belief he laid you out.” “And left me to drown?” ! “You've said it.” “What grounds have you.” “I'm going to tell you, because think it's time you should know.” ow long have you known?" “For about a week.” % “Well, what is it?” “It's a very curious thing.
