THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, DEMOCRATS OPEN Jobs Are Going Begging DRIVE TO WIN OHID Davey Is Expected to Seek Re-election on Record of Achievement. 8y the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 31.—A Democratic campaign to win Ohio for President Roosevelt and Gov. Martin L. Davey next year took form today. National Chairman James A. Farley announced the national issue, and the Governor virtually tossed his hat into the ring for re-election. Announcement in Letter. Farley's announcement of the na- tional issue was made in a letter to States Chairman Prancis W. Poulson, dated July 16, reproduced in the first issue of the Ohioan, official publica- tion of the Democratic State Commit- tee. It said: “We will soon enter an historic eampaign, in which the issue will be simply whether this Government shall | continue to be conducted in the in- terests of the whole people or for the benefit of a certain privileged class which is now engaged in an effort to convince the American people that the Roosevelt administration has aban- doned the principles of democrary and that therefore the Government should be returned to the very forces whose greed and excesses led us into the de- pression from which, under the Presi- dent’s leadership, we are now emerg-| Solid Delegation Pledged.

Concerning the probability of hh! seeking re-election himself, the Gov- | ernor said today: “I should say I am subject to gross suspicions.” The leading article in the new Demo- | cratic paper indicated the Governor ‘will seek re-election on his record of achievements. | - ARTIST’S MODEL SHOT LOS ANGELES, July 31 ().—Ag- | peace-time strength up to 165,000 | three hours, actually talking to only | nes Joan Parker, an sartist's model, was wounded in the neck and a man police identified as Harry Misrech, radio salesman, was shol to death in & fashionable apartmeni house late | jce with the right to adorn his nar-| for the local service. yesterday.

Murphy, a veteran of 25 years’ serv- ! row chest with service badges from | Hawaii, the Philippines, Mexico, | China, France and other campaigns and expeditions, disdains the use of the beautifully striped little ribbon- pins. He even refuses to display the “hashmarks” on his sleeve indicative of the years he has toiled as a profes- sional fighting man.

The | old Army ain't what she used to be when all a feller had to do was be able to sign his name on the dotted line and show that he didn't have ‘We're out to get the best and nothing less will do.” Lands Only Two Prospects. The sun-tanned, weather-beaten old | | sergeant trailed the streets for nearly u\o prospects, and both men accepted | | the application blanks offered and promised to report to Serz:. E.

The biggest problem with which re- cruiting officers have to cope, how- FaoTER'S SPECIALS Finest Dry Cleaning Obtainable Anywhere, At Any Price July 22nd to Aug. 3rd, Inc. ever, is the World War veterans. These men don’t seem to take very kindly to the idea of taking up arms, even in peace time, “When you talk to them, they just tell you: ‘I don’t want to hear any- thing more about it; I've had plenty, thank you!' and that ends the con- versation,” says the sergeant. Another major factor which must be overcome by the recruiters is the Civilian Conservation Corps. It seems that youngsters who have reached the rifle-carrying age would rather go into a C. C. C. camp at $30 a month, with all expenses paid, than to enlist in the Army at $21 a month, with food, clothing and lodging. Faced with the problem of “selling” without a sales talk, various corps areas are using their own means to attract enlistments. Show Is Staged. Baltimore last week was the scene of a military show, the like of which has not been seen since Uncle Sam sent his millions streaming overseas, singing “Over There.” Bands played, flags waved and crack drill teams from Fort Meade, Fort Washington and other Army posts did trick drills to prove the Army is a grand place. As an added attraction, the re- cruiting service put a sound truck, loaded with all the seductive propa- ganda at the command of publicity experts of the Army, out through Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District. There was nothing war- like about this show. It merely was an appeal to youth to better itself by Joining the Army. : * x SOL The and PAJAMAS and PAJAMAS and PAJAMAS and PAJAMAS and PAJAMAS Charge HERZOG Regular $2.50 SHIRTS Regular $3.00 SHIRTS Regular $3.50 SHIRTS Regular $5.00 SHIRTS ACCOUNT MIDLAND BOAT LIQUOR LICENSE IS SUSPENDED Board Takes Action After Hear- ing Hard Liquor Was Con- sumed on Vessel. day suspended for 30 days the liquor license of the boat Midiand, at the Seventh street wharf, issued to Mary ©O.
