Hundreds of thousands of Republicans will vote for Gov. Roosevelt for President without changing party affiliations. country, for the good of their own party as well as for those of other political organizations. They believe that the Hoover Administration ought to be retired. They believe that it has outlived its use- fulness, and that it ought to get out and give the Republicans an opportunity to reform their lines and organization. In short they believe that the time is at hand for a new deal. There is every reason why there should be a new deal in Alaska as well as the Nation. There is every reason why the people of this Territory should make it plain to the country at large that they are strictly behind the demand for a change. Within the last year the Administration has sac- rificed the old reliable Alaska Road Commission which has served so faithfully and efficiently for o quarter of a' century in developing the Territory. it has abolished the Alaska Rivers and Harbors District. It has vastly curtailed the activities of the Geological Survey. It has decided that the Richardson Highway must not be permitted to com- pete with the Alaska Railroad. friendly to this Territory. HOLZWORTH IN HOT WATER. New York correspondence mn Pacific Coast news- papers indicate that John M., Holzworth stirred up a hornet’s nest at the annual meeting of the Na- tional Audubon Society and almost got himself thrown out. One of the press associations reported the affair in a San Francisco paper as follows: NEW YORK, Oct. 26.—Charges that Al- aska’s grizzly baers have been sacrificed to the interests of “a wood pulp concession” given a San Franciscan, brought ejection threats and angry shouting during the clos- ing session of the annual National Audubon Society meeting here. John M. Holzworth, Chairman of the Alaskan Bear Committee of the New York Zoological Society, had demanded the asso- ciation ratify the directors’ approval of Admiralty and Chichagof Islands as a wild life preserve for the browns and grizzlies. Holzworth pointed at Dr. Theodore 8. Palmer, Chief Biologist of the United States Biological Society: “You are working hand in hand with the wood pulp interests,” he shouted. They will do it for the good of the| It has not been | | ‘Audubon Society- members, in an encounter | with a bear. \ | Holzworth persisted. He charged one of | the wood pulp concessions was given to a Republican campaign contributor. He cited 1 the 30c to 50c per 1000-foot rate as com- pared with the British Columbia rate of about $5 a thousand. “How long is this man going to be al- lowed to blackguard us?” one member objected from the floor. A resolution urging the whole matter be investigated by the Board of Directors was adopted. The New York courts nave rejected the protest that Surrogate John F. O'Brien, Democrat, and Lewis Pounds, Republican, were not lawfully nom- inated, so Judge O'Brien will probably be Mayor ! January 1, 1933. The New York Herald Tribune thinks the cir- |cumstance that the Literary Digest Presidential poll puts New Jersey in the Hoover column is a very sure indication that that State will go Republican. So! Then what about the Literary Digest Presi- dential poll in those forty-one States it puts in the Roosevelt column? I Roosevelt’s Fiscal Policy. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) | Governor Roosevelt gave evidence that he is ap- proaching political problems realistically when at Pittsburgh he said economy is one of the most important issues of the campaign. By devoting one of his major speeches wholly to fiscal matters he made plain that he has given thought to the cost :of government, The Democratic nominee has two principal aims in fiscal affairs. One is to balance the budget in a 'final sense of the term. The other is to accomplish this balancing through economies, rather than higher taxes. He makes one exception to this rule by the assertion that if the resources of the Federal Gov- lernment are needed to prevent starvation anywhere {in the country he would be willing to levy new taxes for that purpose. | Surveying fiscal questions of the last three years the New York Governor caught Mr. Hoover at his weakest point when he pointed out the President (failed in Tate 1930 and again in 1931 fo warn the Congress of the impending fiscal crisis of the Gov- .ernment. Coupled with the steady increase of gov- He at least became very unpopular.lernmanial costs through this period, this makes a .strong indictment of the fiscal policy of the Ad- | mininstration. ’ The most spectacular and perhaps the most im- |portant part of the Pittsburgh address was Roose- |velt's blunt pronouncement that he opposes any ;cash payment of the veterans’ bonus while the ;budget shows a deficit. This apparently may be ita.ken as meaning that he does not anticipate ap- \proving a bonus measure for several years at least, jfor the prospect of a sizeable surplus in the Treas- ‘ury is a long way off. | This clear statement on the bonus issue will janswer the doubts of many persons who have pre- ferred Roosevelt but were not willing to countenance janother bonus grab. More important still, it takes 'the bonus out of the campaign and assures the ‘country that the danger of a Treasury raid is thwarted entirely, whatever the outcome of the ,election.

A flash of light ap- pears. Robert Leonard, his cap- tor, comes to taunt him. Only a chort distance away, Jervis' distracted wife Nan, searches frantically for him, CHAPTER 45. “I PREFER YOU DEAD” Rising above Jervis was a sheer and unclimable rock. The light came up to the ledge where Leon- ard stood. Tt was'a mere sill like a wide door-step, with the mouth of the passage rising in an irregu- lar archway above it. Leonard swung the light round past his own shoulder and let the beam play on e half open iron gate, heavy, rusty and strong. Closed, it would fill the arch. A new chain and padlock dangled at its edge; the light picked out the bright steel links. Then his torch was set down again. “Get that?” said Leonard. “No getting up without a ladder. The ladder’s up here, and itTl stay here until we come to terms. Now —what about business?” “What do you want?” said Jer- vis. “Now you're talking. It's mnot so much a question of what I want —because I've already told you that you'd suit me best dead—it's a case of what sort of compromise I'm willing to make. You ought to be glad I'm willing to com- promise at all.” Jervis kept his mouth shut. If he could have laid his hand on a loose plece of rock he would have chanced it and had a shot at the pale blur that was Leonard’s face. But there weren't any loose bits of rofX, the drag of the tide saw to that. Leonard went on speaking. “I prefer you dead—but you can buy yourself off, if you like” “Look here, Leonard—" “I don’t want you to,” said Rob- ert Leonard. “I keep telling you s0. I want you dead. You'd be a lot safer dead. You'd be a lot safer, and I'd be & lot richer. Tt's money in my pocket if you like to be a fool and drown.” There was a nara, bitter silence. Jervis held his tongue and like David, it was pain and grief to him. “Well, if you are not going to ask me why it would be money in my pocket if you insist on drown- ing, Tl tell you all the same, be- cause I'd sooner have all the cards on the table. Mine are all aces, so I don't mind showing them. If you're dead Rosamund gets Weare and the cash—and what Rosamund gets I get. You see, she couldn't marry you the other day, because she was married already. We've been married 11 years.” “Is that true?” said Jervis sharp- ly. “You've got a nasty unbelibving nature as well as the devil of a temper. I don' think you'll be missed if the tide gets you. True? of course it's true! I married Rosamund the day she was 21. “So you see, you've kept us out | o Weare a good long time. You, know, I shouldn't have been brok-! en-hearted if you'd been drowned when you came %o grief on the rocks of Croyston 10 years ago.” “We'd been marmried a year. It it you'd been drowned. I merely | mention this to show you that I've waited quite long enough, and I'm getting a bit impatient.” “What do you want?” said Jer- vis. “A hundred fifty thousand dol- lars,” said Leonard. “Talk sense!” said Jervis con- temptously. The sum staggered him, i “Sense,” said Leonard. I'm giving you your life. If T lock that gate behind me and leave you here, I get Weare and & million, don't I?
