Personality of Montanan Is Big Factor in Consideration "...of .Any Voter. . BY, WILLIAM HARD, Now }s the time to write about “Tom” ‘Walsh,_of Montana, before he. gets turned. into & “lame, duck” by his Re- publican senatorial adversary in Mon- tana, Nidge Albert J. Galen, as the Re- publicaus say He will B and”as the Demactats and . the mass of political prognosticators. gay emphatically he will not be, The prognosticators, sgme of them,_fhink that “Tom,” though dry, has saved himself rroxg being sent up Salt Creek 3s a !‘Jame duck” by becom- ing suficiently web-footed in the waters of fate politics to swim toward a beuer.A{x.t.he propriety. of referendums on wel waves. Others, subtler an deeper, hold that it is unreasonable to think that a voter could look at “Tom” and send him and re-re-send him 1o the Senate—or to some station still loftier, 'if imaginable. Absurd to Call Him “Tom.” 1t is :absurd that he should be. called “Tom.” One might as well have called Willlam Ewart Gladstone “Bill" saving the irreverence — St. Peter “Pete.” Mr. Walsh, indeed, in any properly cast and thoroughly reverent miracle play would make an admirable St. Peter. He would hold the keys of Heaven with an air which would need no artificial effort to indicate to all be- holders’ that exact justice was going to done with a precision laborious, con- siderate, sensitive and implacable. Short of the post at the Pearly Gates, ‘there fs nothing really entirely befitting Mr. Walsh except a seat in the Supreme Court. W] ver levity may now ap- ar sOng .venerable practitioners mfol" lh‘;e vel":!hm:\ly u‘}?‘mh“d wnl\;)g ereupon be thorougl ushe fellow-fustices might have perception enough to call him “Thomas.” There was no perception, just the ‘same, in whoever it was that christened him mfter the doubting apostle, Has Both Fight and Faith. ‘Thomas J. Waish-does not doubt. He does not_deubt rreligion. He does not doubt righteousness. He does not doubt the validity.ef good. .He dees not doubt the possibility .of the arrival.at good. He is among the very few men. in public 1life who seem never to be penetrated by even § sliver of cynicism. Scrious though- he is, he accordingly seems never genuinely depressed or disheart- ened. In the midst of his seriousness, which s Rlflf' portentous, he seems also continuously actually cheerful. Be- ljevi }n God and His world, he is op- by ‘duty but-at the same time sustainéd by-serenity. He has fight, but he also has faith. iy He thus acquires in Washington a sort of ,.awe at his dignity but also a sort of tenderness toward the spirit- uality that is in him. Severe as he ‘has n toward national culprits in the iblican party, he has many Re- pul friends and is much invited % Republican houses. He very fre- quently accepts the invitations. Is Austere Though Sociable. A throughout the whole day. inclue the evening, he is neverthe less, in: the evening, and in his way, sociable. That is, he"likes to be in the same room with other people and seems indeed.usuajly. to like the peoifle themselves. He will not.drink with them. He will' not ‘snioke with them. ‘He will not even cosume tea or coffee with ‘them. He is in such matters te assetio.-- He-never sermon« . _He simply quietly it.

He thus has & good time, and so does everybody else, except the unfortunate person who made a remark about the grass without re- flecting upon the jurassic and triassic eras underneath. > Spirit Transcends Creed. He could be an extremely forbidding character if he were in temperament materialistic. He has a.mind like a leumatic drill and a steam dredge. e is rescued from being a mere mon- strous mauling mechanism by having also a true life of the spirit. It ob- viously transcends creed.. His Cathol- icism has not impeded nuterous meet- ings of Protestant clergymen in this campaign in Montana from giving him their open indorsement. He is in truth, it might adventurously be said, a per- son of Catholic religion but of Protes- tant reformistic views. He favors pro- hibition. He favors the World Court and the League of Nations. The general support for those projects in this coun- try is dominantly protestant, and dom- inantly ecclesiastically protestant. Mr. ‘Walsh 1s in his personal habits a sort of Catholic Puritan and in his public policies a sort of Catholic Methodist or Baptist. Such considerations, however, remain secondary in his political prospects. ‘The primary influence on his behalf next Tuesday at the polls in Montana will be the striking resemblance which 80 many of his fellow citizens think they see between him and the proper qualifications for any high office, ir- respective of religion, irrespective of party, irrespective of platform, irres- ective of anything except what is il- justrated by the feeling that brash and uppish Senators who call him “Tom" ought to call him “Thomas” and “sir.” -thereupon descend 11, and presently be 5 Rooms and Bath $63—875 SAVOY 2804 14th Street Interest on Savings Semi-Annually Compounded | U.

Va, in which the fireman and engineer were Republicans Say Foes Have Stood on Tariff Repeal Alone. (Continued From First Page.) Issues of the Campaign Democrats to Rest Their Case on Success or Failure of Hoover. regarded the tariff with genuine satis- faction. They cried with assumed hor- ror that it would cost the country.a billion dollars a year, yet they have never singled out a single rate that they could show or even claimed was to high. When that fake was exploded they took another tact, declaring with die solemnity that foreign nations wouldpunish us for daring to preserve the American market for the American farmer and American workman. When that ingenuous myth failed to panic the country, the tariff as an after din- ner subject lost its appeal. Renewed Their Attack. The Democrats then renewed their attack upon the President and the ad- ministration, seeking in the absence of that the President was responsible for the business depression, the stock mar- ket crash, the drought and the South American revolutions. Undoubtedly the Democrats regard blessing to which their party has fallen heir in many a long.year. It is not, however, an issue between the two parties in this election. Both parties are agreed that everything possible should be done t6 banish it and restore [prosperity. The only difference being that whereas the Republican party is doing everything pos€ible fo counteract the effects of world-wide economic dis- tress, the Democratic party has not made a single effort to ameliorate con- ditions. » “smear” Hoover also has become an is- sue in this campaign. The libelous and dispicable attacks upon the Presi- dent, which emanated from this bureau, ‘have been checked because of the wide- spread public indjgnation over the country when the facts became known. One Clear-Cut Issue, Lacking any constructive program with which to appeal to the voters, the Democrats have thus been compelled throughout the campaign to rely on smoke screens, myths and libels. De- rived of these artifices one by one, ey come to election day with but one clear-cut issue—the tariff. They stand ready to repeal the tariff, to subject the country to another long period of uncertainty and business dis- tress until the day when their “protec- tion for revenue only” open the American market to the world and forces the American farmer and farmers and laborers of foreign coun- tries.

If the country re- turned a Republican administration the |sun would continue to shine on our | business and the farm'industry would | participate in the warmth. If the Democrats won there would be an in- terruption to the era of success. On | the extent of which the campaign com- mitments were realized the administra- | tion is to be judged. : Therefore the Hoover administration is the real, all-including issue of the campaign. Subsidiary to that is the ‘value or detriment of the so-called | Grundy tariff. and the farm relief pro- | gram. If the first conduces to the restoration of the prosperity that has | falled us the Republicans must gain; if, on the contrary, it has resulted in retaliatory tariffs that have caused the destruction of our import business, the Republican party must answer for the disaster.

Democrat Denies Implication That He Sold Short With Market Depression. | _John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, issued | & vigorous ‘denunciation yesterday of the advertising poster which has been circulated by the Republican Naticral Committee, quoting from an interview he gave the Ladies’ Home Journal, in | August, 1929, suggesting investments in common stocks as a road to wealth. The poster carried at its top a streamer, printed in type an inch high, asking: “Who Caused the Stock | Market Crash>” Beside the interview | with Mr. Raskob was reproduced a newspaper article, published in March, | 1929, in which Andrew W. Mellon, Sec- retary of the Treasury, urged the public to invest in conservative bonds, which might prove less profitable im- mediately, but were safer. “My attention has been called to a poster or advertisement issued by the Republican National Committee con- veying the inference that I have by | short selling in the market deliberately influenced the depression of the mar- | ket.” Mr. Raskob said in a statement issued through the Democratic Na- tional Committee, “I wish to notify the newspapers of the United States that I | regard this as a libelous utterance and | must hold any agency that publishes it responsible. The inference is carried in large type, in which the question is put. ‘Did Raskob Sell Short?’ The Juxtaposition of headlines conveys an query. “As a matter of fact, not only did T not sell short in the market that suf- fered a collapse after. almost every op- | timibtic prophecy by President Hoover |and his executive departments. but never at any time since the advent of the present administration, which, of course, embraces the whole of the | Hoover panic from the crash of a year | ago to this hour, did T either personally or through agents, either directly ot in- directly, sell short even a single share of stock or any commodity. “I am moved to issue this warning because the charge transcends the limi- tations of politics and is a direct as- sault of my business integrity and intelligence.” HOLD HALLOWEEN PARTY Three Prizes Awarded at Noel House Friday Night.

Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, and his brother, R. B. Mellon, of Pitts- | burgh, topped the final pre-election list of Republican campaign contributors filed yesterday with the clerk of the House of Representatives by the Repub- lican National Committee. The report, signed by Joseph R. Nutt, | treasurer of the committee, covered the | brief period from October 21 to October | 30. It listed contributions received dur- | ing that period totaling $103,575, with & grand total since January 1 of $548,- 616. To this was added a surplus of $136,363.38 left over from 1929. Disbursements since January 1 aggre- gated $678,056.11, leaving & balance of $6,923.27 on hand on the eve of one of the hardest-contested off-year congres- sional campalgns in the history of American politics. During the period from October 21 to October 30 the committee pald out $104,695, most of which was sent to a few States where the election battle is hottess. $10,085 Gifts Reported. ‘The Democratic National Committee reported campaign contributions aggre- gating $10,085 for the period from Oc- tober 23 to October 29. Robert E. Greenwood of Fitchburg, Mass, con- | tributed the $10,000. The remaining $85 came from unnamed miscellaneous sources. Together with a balance of $13,673.85 on hand, the Democratic campaign chest at the time the report was flled represented $23758.85. Out of this disbursements totaling $11,154.53 were reported, leaving a balance of | $12,604.32 on hand. James W. Gerard, the Democratic national treasurer, listed several in- teresting “liabilities,” however. One was a debt of $375,000 with interest due the Bankers' Trust Co. of New York. The other was the $220,000 ad- | vanced by John J. Raskob, Democratic national chairman. It was listed as “borrowed fram Mr. Raskob.” An un- pald balance of $9,217.05 due Frank Kilerman & Co., New York advertising firm, also was listed. The “Prohibition National Commit- tee” (loyal section) also reported. By way of explaining the words “loyal section,” in parenthesis, Will D, Martin of New Jersey, treasurer, inted out that officials of the original cormmittee had bolted and supported tbe Repub- ‘licnn candidates.

The report offered no explanation, of course. Com- mittee officials explained outside, how- ever, that these donations were sent to the North Carolina districts to help Republican candidates who are waging vigorous campaigns despite biased elec- tion laws. The Democratic Committee listed a single donation to a State campaign. It consisted of $10,000, the exact amount contributed by Mr. f Massachusetts, which was sent to gflp the campaign in the old Bay te.

Opposed appeals to the Nation's elec- torate for a Democratic and Republican | Congress were predicated last night by ivergent party spokesmen upon the same subject—economic conditions. Secretary Hyde, asking the re-election f Republican majorities in the House and Senate, emphasized the value of & loyal crew to aid President Hoover in bringing the ship of stite through s storm of world-wide depression. Senator Swanson, Democrat, Virginia, blamed the administration for a farm relief measure which he said depreciated the price of farm products, and for the enactment of “onerous tariff rates” and attendant “disastrous results. The cabinet member recalled that “in the dark hours of the Civil War Abra- ham Lincoln stood for re-election upon the slogan, ‘Don’t swap horses in the middle of the stream. “Today I present the situation to my fellow citizens with the suggestion, | ‘Don’t swap crews in the middle of the storm,’” he continued: Asserting that the main dependence of the Nation still was placed in Presi- dent Hoover, he asked if any good could {come ‘from the election of those who would be hostile by tradition and party affiliation.
