CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES ALL POINT TO ONE OF HISTORY-MAKING TYPE Fiery Democratic Out- bursts During Week, Contrasted With Studied Quiet of Republicans Lends Promise of Future Fireworks. Washington, Aug. 11 (P—That| often-repeated prophesy of a specta-| cular, history-making, political campaign in 1928 now scems to be speeding toward complete fulfill- went., A week of flery democratic activ- and studied republican quict ! preceded the Hoover notificat ceremonies at which the republican campaign is to be formally put atoot late today. During that week all of the highly explosive controvursies that surround this unusual battle tor a presidency have Dbeen brought to the point of open discussion in hish democratic places. The democratic leaders now speak directly of “hig otry” and of a “whispering religious campaign" against their nomince. Gov. Smith, himself, has challenged a Baptist clergyman, Dr John Roach Straton of New York, bate from the pulpit his long ord in public oftice and his right to moral leadership. Meantime, as they ¢ the silent precincts of versity for today's motification cure- monies the republican leaders, like | their candidate, have been saying nothing on these subjects, and al-| most nothing on any other. It has been given out that the ceremont: themselves will be of the most quict and dignified characte!

Such a turn of events would cntitle him to a place beside the late Ed Delehanty, the on- Iy man who ever led both of the present major leagues in batting. In addition to pressing Hornsby for the batting lead, Paul Waner cdged in among the leaders in'total hits and doubles when Taylor Dout- hit and Jim Bottemley slumped, Paul ousted Douthit from the top in total hits with 152, and entered a tie with Bottomley in doubles at 35. ‘The §t.

And the chief of such admoni. tions for fledgling lawyers petition- ing to practice before that august tribunal would be—wear a vest and keep your coat buttoned. An expanse of shirt front showing between the lapels of an unbut- toned coat has caused the court, on known occasions, to tell the candi- date he is improperly dressed and to stand aside. While the court has become lax in a measure in enforcing some of its unwritten rules, respect for its own dignity at times results in un. pleasant scenes. The fact that lawyers practicing before it fre- quently fail to observe the written instructions in the preparation and presentation of their cases does not, in the opinion of the court, cx- cuse others in flaunting the etiquet which has prevailed since the tri- bunal was created in the conatitu- tion, candidates should present them. selves in dark clothes, wearing vests with their coats buttoned, Embarrassing incidents result when Corporsd 1s the 200-year-old Colonial homesteed the | near Stamford, Conn., where Gene Tanney aud his bride will live, Gene Czechoslovakian army, won the twe- | bought it two ycars ago.
