Many of the letters which we have received ask for a longer broadeasting period, which we will inaugurate Monday night.” _The amateur television sets now be- ing built are attached to an ordinary radio. ~The only parts necessary are a small motor. a neon tube and a “scan- ning” disk, the total cost of which is | under $50.

Smith is fostered by power in- “the people of North Carolina are going to realize that a large part of the oppo- sition to Smith is not because he is wet, not because he is a Catholic, not because of Tammany, but because of his opposition to the power trust of this country.” The speaker said that the Anti- Saloon League is dominated by the Re- publican party. “The National Anti- Saloon League at least is an adjunct of the Republican party,” he declared. “There is only one man on the national board of directors who ever claimed to FARMER-LABOR PARTY ' PLATFORM REPORTED and for Submitting Dry Issue to Voters. | TR | B7 the Associated Press. | Col.
