ST WOMAN'S PLATFORM Holyoke Seeking Magoralty Holyoke, Mass, July 13 Warning the ruling political “gang” of the fate that befell the 10,000 Philistines who were caught napping and smitten by the 300 righteou: Gideons, Mre.

Well, they may be right. But I remember a Bible stqry about Gideon and his little band of 3300 who were right, and who with 300 pitchere and 300 candles, put 10,000 old war horses to rout. They found the 10,000 Philis- tines napping, went softly among them, and, at Gideon's signal, they crashell their 300 pitchers and let their lights shine and the 10,000 fled in the dark. “A Gideon ought to be able to find in Holyoke 300 men and women with pitchers and candles to go forth in a new kind of campaign for a new kind of political regime.” Mrs. Towne, while militant when the occasion demands, has won a large following by her retiring nature and her willingness to be of service to all. She important part in the civic better- ment of the city during her more than 25 years residence here, and has risen to a position of influence in social and civic affairs. She is an active leader in the new thought movement, being publisher of the Nautilus, the organization’s organ. Born in Portland, Oregon, May 11, 1565, the daughter of John Hal- sey Jonce, she was educated on the coust where she began publication of the Nautilus in 1595, In 1880 she magried J. Holt Struble, whom she divorced in 1900, Soon afterward she married Willlam E. Towne and came to Holyoke to live. Mr. Towne i joint editor of the Nautilus. Mrs, Towne is the author of a large number of books dealing with philosophy and its branches, FATHER OF FOUR DROWNED Essex, Mass, July 13 (UP) — Vincent Ostalkiewicz, 36, of Salem, father of four children, was drown ed n Chebacco lake last nigh when the boat from which he was fishing overturned.

Since he took | charge of the department, he said, 162 per cent of the appointments in Georgia have been made after con- sultations with the senators representatives from that state, He told the senators he had no | doubt that some Georgia postmasters | had been forced to make contribu- tions to the republican party, but ex- ! pressed at the same time the belief ‘!hm, the democrats exacted similar payments when they were in power. In support of this assertion, Mr. ‘NP\\' submitted a letter from W. D. ‘Jamlson. formerly connected with the Georgia Democratic State organization, Willlam F. asking contribute $75 to the party as quick- {1y as possible.

Smith, today | were barred from primary baliots in |three counties pending the outcome lot a test case | The third reversal for democratic | party bolters came yesterday when | | the Galveston county executive com- mitter refused to place the name of | Thomas B. Love and other anti- Smith democrats on the ballots for | the primary July 25. Love, former | democratic pational committeeman |and a leader of the ultra dry fac- tion of the party in Texas, is a can- gidate for lieutenant governor, Prior 1o the action of the Galves- ton county committee, Love's name was barred from ballots in Cameron county when a district court judge denied an application for a writ of mandamus to compel the committes |to recognize his candidacy. His ap- peal from this decision is pending before the civil court of appeals at San Antonio. The Galveston committee said it refused to recognize the bolters “be- cause they are openly and nofori- | ously violating their party tions and pledge, and, the inte |of the party demands that their names not be printed on the ballot.” A state supreme court decree up- helding the Galveston county com- mitteo in a similar case in 1921, was | cited by the committee. Meanwhile plans for an alliance of democrats opposed to Governor | Smith with the state republican or- ganization, were advanced at San { Antonio. At a meeting of the re- publican state executive committee there, a steering committee was ap- poMted to confer with anti-Smith democrats. R. B. Creager, national committeeman said the steering committee would confer with demo- | erats opposed to the New York gov- lernor on a proposal to substitute a | ticket of anti-Smith electors for the | vepublican electors already selected CHIDES PESSIMISTS Dr. Petty, Ch:muqu.
