M’COOEY CLAIMS 800,000 MAJORITY. Basing his estimates on polls taken by his own organization in Brooklyn and by Edward J. Flynn's crganization in Bronx, John H. McCooey, Brooklyn Democatic boss and New York Democratic National Committeeman, predicts that Gov. Roosevelt for| President and Lieut.-Gov. Lehman for Governor will carry New York City by more than 800,000 mnjomy,; He declares that Lieut.Gov. Lehman is running slightly stronger than Gov. Roosevelt, but both will easily pass the 800,000 mark. Seemingly justifying Mr. McCooey's prediction | is the circumstance that the increase in registration | has been enormous in the Democratic districts while | they have not been large in Republican districts. The vote of the City will be much larger than formerly, and in many Democratic sections it will| be doubled. BETTORS FAVOR ROOSEVELT AND OTHER DEMOCRATS. A special news bureau telegram from New York dated October 15 appearing in the Cincinnati Enquirer and other newspapers throughout the country said there is plenty of money with Wall Street betting commissioners available to be wager on the Democratic candidates on the National and State tickets, and that they are overwhelming favorites. Yet, it said that Republican money showed up in a few instances on October 14, which was quickly taken. The betting commissioners quoted Gov. Roosevelt'as a two to' one favorite ‘to win the Presidential election. Lieut.-Gov. Herbert H. Lehman was the favorite for the New York Gov- enorship at odds of six to five to defeat Col. William J. Donovan, Republican nominee for that office. The dispatch, as it appeared in the Enquirer, continued: Despite the fact that Governor Roosevelt and the entire Democratic ticket remain overwhelming favorites in the betting fra- ternity, two bets were placed today at even money that United States Attorney George Z. Medalie, Republican nominee for the Senate, would defeat the Democratic Senator, Robert F. Wagner. One bet was for $3,000, placed by a prominent Republican; another for $4,000 by an up-State politician. A bet of $5,000, even money, was placed that Mr. Hoover would carry New Jersey. HAWAII WANTS THE TRUTH KNOWN. Acting Gov. Raymond C. Brown of Hawaii has issued a booklet which has been termed a “mani- festo on the A-B-C's of Hawaiian geography,, politics, customs, volcanology, climate, etc.” The manifesto makes some things clear, The Hawaiian Islands are not located in the Philippines or the Caribbean, or any place other than the middle of the Pacific Ocean—2000 miles from San Francisco and 3500 miles from Japan. Honolulu is not the name of an island, but the eapital city of the Hawaiian Islands. The island is Oahu. The three other principal islands are Hawaii, Maui and Kauai. Hawaii has no more need for an American Con- sul than New York or Florida. Far from being a “foreign country” to residents of mainland America, the Territory of Hawali has been a self-governing integral part of the United States ever since the Islands, at their own request, were annexed by the U. S. in 1898, A wag has described Hawaii as “a series of volcanos completely surrounded by water.” “This” he commented, “makes swimming not only a pleasure but a necessity.” The Governor points out, though, that if there is any swimming done in connection with volcanic activity in Hawaii it is swimming to the voleano and not away from it, because activity In the firepit of Kilauea crater on the island of Hawall is a signal for rejoicing rather than an element of danger. Gf:vernor Brown declared that in certain outlying districts in the islands there are natives who live 60 degrees, giving Honolulu the smallest and most favorable temperature range of any U. S. city. “This, in a general way, covers the field of current misinformation about our Territory,” con- cluded the Acting Governor, “of course, everybody knows that pineapples do not grow on trees.” Dr. Flexner continues to denounce college foot- ball as a money-making proposition. One would think anyone would hail with joy the fact that there is a money-making propostiion in these days of piping adversity. Hoover supporters apparently like to talk about the “trend back” toward the G. O. P. However, there has been no lessening of the betting odds on Gov. Roosevelt. | Human Factors in Politics. (New York World-Telegram.) One of Alfred E. Smith's greatest gifts as a Governor was his ability to deal with his personal enemies. He could fight and still make them like him. Because of that gift it was possible for him to |bring about his many accomplishments in the face of politically hostile Legislatures. Had that certain |human quality of his been lacking he would have been in constant deadlock with the law-making | branch of the State. And only through law making| can a Governor's—or a President’s—policies be put| finally into effect. The term “executive,” as a matter of fact, in the common acceptance of the word, is a misnomer when applied to a high political office such as a Governorship or the Presidency. “Executive” con- notes the idea of one who directs by giving orders to subordinates. But you can't give orders to equals. And the law-making branch in our political system is on equal rating with the executive. One of Herbert Hoover's outstanding weaknesses has been a deficlency in that quality which Mr. Smith possesses in such rare degree. Accustomed throughout his life, up until he became President, to executive work in the order-giving sense, he was {unable to adjust himself to the rough-and-tumble |necessities of getting results from hostile politicians in Congress. Generally speaking, he was peevish. His man- ner of approach antagonized. The frequent stale- |métes in his relationship with the Senate and the House were the outcome. Important in this connection as relating to the present campaign is the performance of Franklin D. Roosevelt in dealing with his enemies last week in Albany. He showed a most unusual capacity for coupling fight with tact. His victory over the Tammany crowd that sought to sidetrack Mr. Roosevelt's {candidate for the Governorship came with a mini- mum of bitterness. If he could handle his political enemies in Con- gress in the same way he handled the :Curry- Lehman situation he would bring to bear, in event of his election, an essential quality which many political executives, including Mr. Hoover, lack, and which Alfred E. Smith more than any other political {executive of our time possesses—an ability to deal with human beings and the human factors that after all finally determine great public decisions. A Fine Record. (Anchorage Times.) With the retirement of Judge Thomas C. Price as United States Commissioner, the Anchorage pre- cinct is losing a public officer who not only has served the Department of Justice ably but who also has made his office meet the exacting require- ments of the community in a manner highly pleas- ing to the public. He has been unswervingly just in his decision, exacting in the performance of his official duties, yet never failing to safeguard the rights of those coming into his court; he has given the public courteous, efficient service, his office always having been open to those in quest of in- formation, advice or assistance as well as to those having official business to transact. And he has found time, besides, to give generously of his serv- ices to general affairs of the community. In short, his record as a public officer is one of which he and the entire precinct may well be proud, and he is taking with him into the private practice of his profession the good will and well wishes of every- one in the community. A Zoo for Ketchikan. (Ketchikan Chronicle.) The suggestion of M. L. Stepp that a zoo be started in Ketchikan is commendable. Unfor- tunately, Ketchikan ftoo often takes itself so seriously that it hesitates to show anything but an intensely practical side, like a growing boy who doesn't want the fellows to see him kiss his mother. That's one reason why Ketchikan, in the midst of a natural park land, has hardly a park worthy of the name. But a zoo has even more practical aspects than a park, and for that reason we have hopes that it might enlist more support than another plan. A zoo, for instance, would be a great drawing card for the tourists who wouldn't care much about seeing a park devoted wholly to playground and picnic purposes. Here at little or no cost we could obtain speci- mens of the brown and black bear, of mountain sheep and goat, of thoose and caribou, or deer, of wolves, of the eagle, the beaver, the mink, the fox— the chain is Neemingly endless. With hardly any effort, this community could have a zoo that would be the envy of a town ten times its size. Why not? A Michigan resident announces he may not vote in November. On account of casting ballots in so many straw polls he begins to feel overtrained.— (Des Moines Register.)

Intuition tells her he is in grave danger; the fact that clothing and toi. let articles are gone may indi. cate that he has left on a hurried trip. Nan can only wait—in agony. CHAPTER 317, F. F. TRIES TO HELP There 'was no letter from Jer- vis next day. Nan did not know that she was counting on one un- til the mail had come and ‘brought nothing. She looked at Ferdinand and Ferdinand exercised some in- genuity. “Buck up, Nan, here's a thing he might have déhe—a thing I've done myself when I've had my mind- all taken up with something. leave here, and have gone away with it in his pocket. If he finds it hell send a wire—but he might not find it til he gets back home. It's a thing might happen to any- one. “Why, in my own town there was the case of Reggie Lawson. . Poor just a shadow—Cornelia Van Bleu's shadow. And then all of & sudden he disappeared and everyone was sure Cornelia had given him the mitten. “By and bye Cornelia began to look shadowy, too. She'd never been robust, but she got so poet- ic-looking that she nearly wasn’t there at all. And then one day she got a cable from Cape Town, South Africa. It said: “‘Letter postponing | marriage Uy 5> ,44 Nan and Ferdinand Jjust found pocket winter suit can you forgive love you to distraction cable reply or shall Reg.’ " Nan had been looking down at her plate. She had made a very little breakfast. She heard Ferdi- nand’s voice, but she did not real- ly hear what he was saying, be- cause her own thoughts were speaking so loudly all the time. She felt suddenly as if she could not sit there and listen to them any longer. Her face changed, ‘her mouth quivered. She pushed back her chair and got up. “I must go and see Mrs. Mel- lish,” she said. She proceeded to the housekeep- er's room and was received with go crazy spect —a respect not in the least personal, but indicative of the fact that Mrs. Mellish knew her man- ners. Today Nan approved the menu without so much as reading it. She said, “Yes, that will do very well.” and continued to stand looking past Mrs. Mellish din a manner which was secretlly resented. “Was there anything further ma’am?” she said in such & polite ly controlled voice that anyone less absorbed than Nan could scarcely have- missed the offense behind it. Nan did not start, but she came out of her abstraction and turned her eyes upon Mrs. Mellish’s face. “Yes,” she said. “I wanted to ask you whether you or the maids 600D Financial success chance or accident people. ly wealthy.

Why do peoplé shut i doors? Either because they are angry, or else because they have something to hide. There wasn't any reason why Mrs. Mellish should be angry with her. Had Mrs, Mellish by any chance got some- ‘zhing to hide? Mrs. Mellish came back in the {real Internal Pile remedy. Nan nodded. They had a silent drive.

Where Nan should find sympathy tomorrow, finds only bitter scorn. Piles Go Quick Itching, bleeding or protruding piles go quickly and don’t come back, if you raelly remove the cause. Bad blood circulation in the lower bowel and hemorrhoidal veins causes piles by making the affected. parts weak, flabby, almost dead. Salves and suppositories fail because only an internal medicine that stimulates the circulation and drives out the impure blood can actually correct the cause of piles. Dr. J. 8.
