[==] NEW BRITAIN HERALD [-:-] NEW BRITAIN CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1928 WALCOTT APPEALS 70 WOMEN VOTERS Candidate for Semator Urges Election of Hoover Approximately 300 women and a few men crowded the first and sec- ond floor of the old Cooley residence on West Main street to the doors, and another hundred stood or sat outside last evening, while the guest of honor stood perspiring patiently in a crowded hallway, when the Women's Republican club opened its first session in the local political fight in the 1928 jvesidential cam- paign. State Senator Frederic C. Walcott, republican nominee for the United Btates senate, in whose honor the meeting was called, stood in -the hallway, unable either to get in or out, while he heard Mrs. Buel B. Bassette, president, make the pre- liminary announcements, heard Mrs Howard Parsons, secretary read the minutes of the last mecting, and William H. Judd, republican town F. C. WALCOTT committee chairman encourage those who alreadv were enthusiastic re- publicans and predict an overwhelm- ing victory for Herbert Hoover in his candidacy for the presidency of the United States. Mr. Hoover, was referred to as a superman by Senator Walcott, when the latter finally managed to get through the crowds and was intro- duced to the audience. He took as his subject “The Real Hoover.” The address was a semi-biographi- cal word picture of the republican candidate. The senator used few campaign arguments except to inti- mate, rather than openly charge, that Mr. Hoover's opponent, whose name he did not mention was con- necte¢ with a corrupt organization, although he carefully pointed out that he was making no such allega- tions against the democratic candi- date as an individual. Rise From Obscurity He painted a graphic word picture ot Hoover's acceptan.e speech at Palo Alto, California, and compared the scene in the stadium before 75,- 000 people, and a radio audience of 70 million, to the day when 36 years ago, Herbert Hoover, then an orphaned boy, eight years old, land- «d in Palo Alto and started the studies which were to make him a noted engineer, and eventually, the speaker said, the president of the United States. At the notification ceremony Wal- cott said, Mr. Hoover reccived with- in two or three hours cablegrams of congratulations upon his speech from all parts of the world, includ- ing South Africa, New Zealand, Rus- sia, Poland, France, Germany, Italy, England, Egypt and India. From Russia, he said, Hoover was hailed as “Our Saviour” while Poland claimed him as the man who saved the country’s children from starva- tion. He cited one telegram which caus- ed much amusement in the Hoover camp and which came from a man in Pennsylvania. This message said, “We are much relieved; your tpeech has assured the election of Al Smith."” “Mr. Hoover's best work has been done unobtrusively and quietly, ve- vond the pale of human knowledge,” ‘Walcott continued. The speak-r traced the career of Hoover as a mining engineer in Aus- tralia, in China, in Russia and in In- dia near the ruby mines of Manda- lay; where he reorganized the larg- est mines in the world. In all cases he reorganized, according to the speaker, the mines which were los- ing ventures, placed them in charge cof American managers and equip- ped them with American tools and machinery, leaving them profit- making and successful enterprises. “He introduced American pro- ducts all over the world, and the raines of the world are calling for American machinery,” he declared. Work During War He points out Hoover's work look- ing after the interests of stranded Americans in London when the World War broke out and of his work in obtaining and supplying food to the Belgians, starting with nearly a half million dollars of private tunds. In 1917 when President Wilson is- sued the draft proclamation, Mr. Hoover was called to Washington, where he was joined by Senator Walcott, who gave up his private business at that time. The food ad- ministration was opened with Mr. Hoover in charge, aided by Senator Walcott. In a few weeks after con- gress passed the appropriation for this work, Mr. Hoover had assisting him a volunteer army of 18,000 men and women, mostly dollar a year workers, and was buying all the food for the United States army and most of it for England, France, Italy and 8witzerland. Mr. Hoover, he said, was the one man who kept up the spirit of the organization. He described Hoover's visit to France in 1915. when he also was | for accompanied by the speaker. He told of Hoover's inspiration to save the endangered wheat crop of Bel- glum by putting 320,000 German prisoners to work harvesting it, and thereby earning the gratitude of the of military prisons and giving them work outdoors. He said -Hoover saved 35 to 36 million people from starving in Rus- sia. He deacribed Hoover's plan of feeding the hungry German children after the war. He told how he saved the muskrat industry in Lousianna, saving 23 million muskrats and how he saved thousands of deer during the Mississippi floods by telling the people of the'flooded section how to handle them. Compares Candidates You've got to make up your minds by Nov. 6 whether you want to vote for a man who knows little outside of the big city and who, 1 belleve, has been part of the most corrupt organization in the civilized world, ever since he first started selling newspapers, an organization which lives on a system of abate- ment ot taxes which runs into the millions of dollars, or the greatest engineering man the world has ever known. Understand I don't say the candidate (Hoover's opponent) has ever taken a postage stamp that didn’t belong to him, but you must chose between him and a God-fear- ing man who can do no wrong. It solution so simple it is almost d. ‘Herbert Hoover, our next presi- dent, is a super-man. He stands for a protective policy for the working people.” Music was furnished by a sextette of young women, headed by Mrs. William Fay. Others in the sextette included Miss Dorothy Latham, Miss Anna May Havlick, Miss Au- gusta Btipek, Miss Olive Sloan and Miss Lilllan Bertinf. After the meeting, Senator Wal- cott, accompanied by his host and h 88, Former Representative and Mrs. Fred O. Rackliffe pald a visit to the Herald office where they in- spected the plant. S8enator Walcott expressed himself as greatly inter- ested in modern mechanical marvels in newspaper plants. He was given {an opaortunity of getting into con- | tact with -the Connecticut office of the Associated Press at New Haven and hearing the first returns pre- dicting a republican victory in Maine, where former Governor Bax- ter is a close friend. PILOT BOAT GOES Braves Gale fo Carry Doctor to Sick Sailors Mayport, Fla. Sept. 11 (P—A pilot boat braved high seas off the coast near here last night to take a phy- sician to the U. 8. Shipping Board steamer Lake Inglenook, aboard which five men were suffering from injuries during a gale. Dr. Robert Wynn, Jacksonville marine physician, who was asked to meet the vessel at a buoy off May- port because seas were running too heavy for a landing, returned here last night. He said all of the injur- ed were suffering from major frac- tures, two of them apparently hav- ing broken backs. Risk the Journey Although scas were too high to bring the men ashore, the physician and Captain Richard Peck of May- port, a pilot, risked the journey and | the doctor gave first aid. The men were to be brought ashore at day- light if weather conditions permit. The Lake Inglenook is a freighter of 1,800 tons, and plies regularly Ddetween Gulf ports and Boston. She had been battling foul weather for | several days. No other shipping has been re- ported in distress in the northeast- | er, which started blowing off the east coast Saturday and which has been raging for several days in the lower guif. according to information here.

Smith, democratic presidential nominee, will use on the preceding night. Mr. Straton, who is pastor of Calvary Baptist church, New York. declared his intention to challenge the democratic nominee to “face to face debate out there in the west | were things are lively, splitting time | with me either on his or my night at the hall. I'll hear 8mith talk on the night of the 20th and T hope that he will hear me on the night of the 21st. T shall have plenty to say.” There is an full revolt” going on in the south, he added, in speak- ing of his tour of several southern states under the sponsorship of the | anti-saloon league.

Carnes of Atlanta, Ga., missing treasurer of the Southern Baptist Home mission board whose accounts are said to be short §1,- 000,000. The police watch was set, after the officers had questioned Mrs. Louise Pope, and her “ward,” Miss Sonia Nordlie, whose attempt to en- ter ‘the films under the name of Sonia Nordia admittedly was financed by the mission church man. Highly Nervous Highly nervous and apparently on the verge of hysteria, the two for- mer Atlanta women told of the con- tract whereby Carnes had agreed to finance the Hollywood venture. Mrs. Pope denied knowing anything about a similar financial arrangement in the case of a Lois Griffin to whom Carnes’ account showed he had sent money. Wrong Track “You're on the wrong track, any- how,"” said Mrs. Pope to newspaper- men who interviewed her regarding | her acquaintance with Carnes. “The surface hasn't been scratched in this mess. Don’t waste your time with Sonia and me. the money. Look somewhere else and don't be surprised at what you | find.” Miss Nordlie wept as she said she | believed Carnes “one of the finest men .I ever met." “I met him through Mrs. Pope,” she said. "I was eager to try to get into the movies and he agreed | to finance me on a strictly business basis. So we made the contract and I came to Hollywood. “Whenever 1 needed money, 1 let him know and he always sent it. I don’t know what I'll do now." i 21 Years Old The women refused to say how much money Carnes had sent them. | Confronted by figures which the THE FRESH BAKED 2 DOZ. 25¢ MoH We never got any of | MARKET 301 - ll'll MAIN ST. missing treasurer's accounts showed he had sent them, Mrs. Pope said: “He sent her precious little money.

Griffin. The message was contained in a lengthy letter to ev- ery pastor in the diocese. reads, “and should circumstances warrant, we command all priests of our diocese to leave to those outside the Catholic church the unholy, un- | just, unwise and un-American talk of dragging religion into politics. “We issue this order, not because any of our priests has been guilty, but merely as a protection to one and all during a campaign where bitterness is being fostered by the forces of bigotry.” {Chinese Laundryman Weds Woman From Pana Lew Wong, native of China, and Myrtella Ortez, a native of Panama, were married yesterday at the office of David L.
