"Why don't you let well-enough alone?" But "well-enough" is not enough for Lucky Strikel The subject of Inhaling is vitally important. ..for every smoker inhales knowingly or unknowingly. Every smoker breathes in some part of the smoke he or she draws out of a cigarette! Do you inhale? Lucky Strike dares to raise this vital question . . . because Luckics' famous purifying process removes certain Ir Protection it rr''Tfi''nt Hi5 server offloe and Informed a reporter who had interviewed him for last Friday's paper that he was taking out a marriage license that afternoon nid would wed Mrs. Jory Tuesday (today) at 8 o'clock.

However, sev eral people, both In La Orande and union, who had known mm previous ly testified this morning they had known him at Jackson Hole, wyom Ing and could establish proof that he had worked In that region as a gume, In his Interview with the Observor he described his part in Wyoming rodoca and told of receiving his oarly rodeo training from John and Fred Spain, of Union.

GARNER WILL SEEK REPEAL OF DRY LAW (Continued from Pago One) "I have maintained the position I assumed whon I was elected speak er of the house of representatives, that I would not Indulge In the dis cussion of controversial Issues not Immediately under, consideration by the house. Views on Records "Moreover, during the 30 years I have been a member of congress, practically every prlnciplo Involved In the problems of the nation today havo been before the house and my views thereon are a matter of rec ord. ,"Thls country has erected tariff barriers that aro practically exclud ing tho products of foreign notions. : )7: u u u u u vii u v& o The tobacco This makes it economically Impos sible for these nations to buy from us the product of our farms and our factories, thereby aggravating our Industrial depression. Can't Permit Hturvallon "All relief measures so far havo been purely temporary and do not go to the root of the trouble. No sound thinking cltlEon can favor tho dole; neither can the government sit idly by and see Its people starvo when they are wiling to work. Enough work must be provided to keep the people from starving and we shall bo fortunate Indeed If this irreducible cost minimum docs not greatly exceed the amount provided in tho roliof measures wnicn 1 spon sored. Saner Hauls Needed "Before gonuli and permanent relief can be accomplished, tho fin ances of the basic industries of this nation must bo placed on a saner basis thereby removing tho spectre of receiverships and foreclosures and restoring their buying power and abil ity to employ labor." "International trado must bo re established by the restoration of In ternational confidence and credits. Honesty among nations Is as essential a virtue as honesty among Individ uals. "An individual who borrows and makes no honest effort to pay Is dis honest: the samo applies to a nation "If foreign debts should bo can celled the credit of tho nations In volved would be destroyed and they cannot borrow again. "The government of the United States owes It to its cltlwms to col lect from tho debtor nations to tho extent of their ability to pay una there should bo no flim-flam accepted as to that ability to pay. Always Against ury Law "Whon tho prohibition amend ment was proposed I, as n inombor of congress, voted agonat It. I havo never believed It sound or woi'Kauio and It should bo ropoalcd. "Tho cost of government city, county, state ond national can and should bo reduced not less than ono thlrd. "Tho principal obligation of a gov ernment, established in accordance with, tho American principles and traditions, Is to protect all of its peoplo In tho free enjoyment of tho fruits of their labor ond tho pursuit of happiness. "Tho constantly Increasing tend ency toward socialism and commun ism Is tho gravest possible menace. The government should uso every moans within Its power to pvevont their further spread and they should rccelvo no encouragement from any American citizen, high or low." "Tho Democrats of Calfornln and of my native state. TexaB, aro send ing delegations to tho national con vention In Chicago instructed to vote for my nomination for tho presidency.

Luckics created that process. Only Luckics have it! Do you inhale? Remember more than 20,000 physicians, after Luckics had been furnished them for tests, busing ihcir opin ions on their smoking experience, stated that Luckics arc less irritating to the throat than other cigarettes! "It's toasted" the limit of my capacity." Oarncr's statement was regarded by his friends as In the nature of a "keynote" address. Lator. Representative McDuffle, of Alabama, the Democratic whip and staunch supporter of 8pcaker Oar- ncr told newspaper men prohibition should be submitted to tho people on the straight question of repeal. "I believe there Is sentiment enough in this country to justify submission of tho straight quoatlon of repeal," said McDuffle, long count ed among Southern dry forces. I think the spoukor's statement is honest, straight-forward, manly ond courogcous. In these days and times tho American pooplo are not Interested In pussyfoot on any question. No ono has ever loarnort insoiar as I have ascertained how President1 Hoover stands on prohibition." Walter Nowton, ono of the presi dent's secretaries was shown a copy of tho Garner stutement while stand ing In the spoakor's lobby. He had no comment. Oomer's declaration for repeal brought widespread comment from other Democratic leodors. Senator Shcppord (D.. Texas) said that though ho disagreed with Dar ner on prohibition, he would con tinue to support him for tho presi dency. Tho co-author of tho 18th amendment said: "I do not agree with Speaker Oar- ner on repeal, but this docs not affect my support of him for the presidency. I regard him as sound on all other vital questions, other comments follow: Sonator Wagner (D N. Y.): "That shows tho drift. I hopo the con vention will recommend repeal. A declaration that a repeal amendment should 'bo submitted would, how ever, bo froo from ambiguities and could bo understood by tho people.' Sonator Plttman (D Nov.): "I think ho's mado a vory dear expres sion of his views, past ond future. It is evident that It will have a popular majority at the convention." Sonator Copeland (D N. Y.) : "That's good." I'm glad to hear It. It is vory significant that a man who has occupied tho position he has should express himself as he has. There will be n bitter contest over the plank and Gamer's declaration plus tho liberal stand of McAdoo res: P1MSE Sec Wednesday's Paper For Further Details , illl Cotir, 1031. Thf Amertrtn Tobirtu Co. makes It probable that the Oanwr delegates will vote for liberal plank." Senator Fess (R-. Ohio): "I have no douot the convention will com out for repeal." Senator Blaine (R., Wis.): "They turn wet very quickly, don't theyr' . Representative Howard' (D., Neb.)' one-time secretary to William Jen nings Bryan: "The speaker's state ment will make a repeal plank la the platform." 1 Representative Cullen. leader of the Tammany delegation: "That la great . language. There Is no evasion there, It Is the kind of a statement the people expect and demand from every man In public life." Representative Bankhead (D., Ala.) another house leader, said: "It Is a good statement. AU of It Is In accord with good, sound . Democratic doctrine. Any Democrat can support It." ' ' $ Representative Ralney, the Demo- f emtio leader: "I voted In the house to resubmit the 18th amendment and I think the time has come t 1 resubmit It to the people unquall. r ficdly." . WASHINGTON, June 21 OP) Speak er John N. Gamer, In a statement today, said the 18th amendment "should be repealed." Returning to the capital after sev eral days Illness, the speaker handed newspapermen a statement saying: i "When the prohibition amendment was proposed, L bs a member of con green, voted against It. I have never believed It should be workable, and It should be repealed." . Gamer added that although he had not solicited support for the Demo cratic presidential nomination he la "willing to serve my country ana my party to the limit of my capacity." . This later statement was interpret ed by Garner's friends as a guarded announcement ox his availability for the Democratic nomination, he said: "The Democrats of California and of my native state, Texas, are send ing delegations to the national con vention In Chicago lnstruoted to vote for my nomination for the presi dency. ... , "This has been done without my solicitation.
