Norris, pride of the Progres- sives, is given the edge in the coming senatorial election in this State by practically all the politicians and ob- servers here. Despite the obvious disaffection of many Republicans who insist that Nor- ris is not a Republican, and therefore is not entitled to Republican support, the politicians do not “see how he is to be defeated and former Senator Gil- bert M. Hitchedck can win.” Supporters of Senator Norris, among them some of the shrewdest politicians in the State, say he will win a 100,000 lead over his Demoratic opponent. Mare conservative- estimators place his probable lead at from 5,000 to 70,000 votes. ‘The Hitchcock people are making no prediction that Mr. Hijchcock will win by this or that figure. They have had their hopes raised, however, far higher than they thought possible a couple of months ago. ‘They insist that ti former Senator has a fighting chance, where earlier in the glme they would have said he had no at all. Norris Strong in Rural Areas. Senator Norris has the tation of the dominant f figure in the State today. He is strong, particu- larly in the rural districts—and most of Nebraska is rural.

Senator Hitchcock is a resi- dent of Omaha, and has many friends there, but notwithstanding the fact that Omaha Republicans have "been considered in large measure hostile to Norris, Norris carried the county in the primary, though by only a couple of thousand votes.

But no one can say right off the bat just what proportion of this anti- Norris vote will be cast in November for Hitchcock against Norris. A rumor has developed here to the effect that the regular Republicans are about to launch an anti-Norris organization; that the opposition to Norris has de- cided to stand up on its hind legs and fight it out in the open. How far such an organization would get remains to be seen. It might develop real propor- tions and become a real menace t0 Norris. Undoubtedly it would rouse the Nor- ris le to further activity.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Hoover returned to the White House early this morning from Kings Mountain, 8. C., where, yester- day afternoon, at the 150th anniversary celebration of the Revolutionary War battle at that place he made a stir- ring address in which he extolled the spirit of the little band of heroes who brought victory and hope to the revolt- ing colonies and in which he expound- ed the principles of American ideasand ideals. After a 14-hour run the President’s special arrived at Union Station this mhrning at 7 o'clock. Barely more than an hour afterward Mr. Hoover was at his desk in the executive office. Quite naturally, he ignored the pile of business papers on his desk to pore over the newspaper accounts of his Kings Mountain speech and the edi- torial comment. Also, he had the pleas- ure of reading many telegrams of con- gratulation from all parts of the coun- try, not only for the sentiments he ex- pressed yesterday, but for his two speeches in Boston Monday before the American Legion and the American Federation of Labor. Probably Most Eloquent. Prom the comments he has received thus far President Hoover has every reason to feel that his address to the of persons assembled on the slopes of Kings Mountain was the most eloquent he has delivered since becom- ing President. It is doubtful if he ever before so well succeeded in translating into words his conception of American ideals, his devotion to American prin- ciples of government and his unbound- faith in the future of this Republic. He selected wed ground for the great message, which was delivered to the largest crowd that has faced him (Continued on Page 5, Column 3.)

Louis Bush, 60-year-old bank direc- tor and philanthropist, who was way- laid and shot in a struggle Monday night by a robber as he stepped from his automobile in a garage behind his home, 3534 Fulton street, died at Emergency Hospital this morning. Hit in the abdomen and left arm, Bush sank rapidly and early last night relapsed into a coma following a sec- ond blood transfusion, remaining un- conscious until his death shortly be- fore 7 o'clock. His only son, Willlam L. Bush, was hastily summoned to his bedside, but arrived shortly after Bush expired. ‘The body was removed to the funeral parlor of Prank Geler Sons Co., at 1113 Seventh street, where an autopsy will be performed later today and a coroner’s jury sworn in for an inquest to be called when authorities have something tangibleto present. Meager Evidence Found. Members of the homicide squad and identification experts sought some clue to the slayer's identity from a general description suppiied by Bush him: and from meager bits of evidence—a stray bullet pried from a wall nearby, four exploded shells from a .32 auto- matic, & button off a man’s coat, finger- prints and an unidentified key ring.

Around a table stacked high with new reports of investigators, the Hoo- ver lLaw. rcement Commission re- assembled “Tor conferences which may possibly resiilt in an expression on prohibition. ‘The reports dealt with prohibition at length, and after, reading them, onme member of the commission, Kenneth Mackintosh of Washington, gave notice he wanted this issue thoroughly thrash- ed out. Carefully going over the results of the Summer’s investigations, Chairman George W. Wickersham held to his practice of secret commission sessions and to his policy of silence on matters of discussion until the commission has Political Influence Draws Ire. But one of the reports before Mr. Wickersham has drawn his ire. This is the report on “Lawless Acts of Gov- ernment Officials,” and after reading it, the commission chairman asserted: basic difficulty with much of the ad- ministration of justice lies in the use of political influence, not only in the selection of prosecutors, court o™~lals and judges, but in the perform~ . of their duties.” That was just one of several - lems Mr. Wickersham took up with the commission &s it sought to map a pro- gram for completing its task, begun more than a year ago. There were evidences that as a re- sult of demands made in Congress last session that the col n confine its work to a study of prohibition, this issue was going to be a topic of major importance wit the commission. Would State Position Directly. It is the view of Mr. Mackintosh, who has been classified in his State as a dry, that the commission should state ‘its position directly on the pro- hibition controversy which is bobbing up so persistently in the political cam- paigns this year. Mr. Wickersham's latest expression along that line was that a balanced in- quiry into law enforcement “would con- sider rmhlbmon as one only of & num- ber of elements to be studied.” Some of the subjects touched upon in the other reports before the com- mission today are: Juvenile delinquency, operation of Federal courts, causes an treatment of crime, lawless acts of Gov- self | ernment, officials, cost of crime, crim- inal justice and the foreign-born and police. PUBLIC KEEN FOR REPORT. Time and Nature of Enforcement Com- mission Findings Interest. BY MARK SULLIVAN. Members of the Commission on Law Enforcement, meeting in Washington today, realize that cumulative develop- ments in prohibition as a political issue give rise to more intense interest by the public in their work. ‘The many problems they face may be grouped as two. One is of time. ‘They must make a report to Congress. One possible date can be disposed of instantly. It is incongeivable the com- mission should make a report before the election, November 4. That is incon- ceivable because the commission could not possibly arrive at a report so early. It is further inconceivable because hardly any one on either side of the prohibition controversy would care to see a report on that question thrown into the turmotl of the closing days of & campaign, Passing over that date, the next im- portant “one is December, when Con- gress meets again. If the commission should make a chn by December 1 concelvably it could acted upon by that session of Congress. From some points of view that would be ideal. The session of S8 0] December could act most wisely and with least on a report on prohibition. However, the idea of getting a um in time for the coming session of - gress may as well be dismissed.
