STILL IN THE MOOD
Whatever else the' voters nuiy have' on their minds, they
at least sent a roll of thunder crackling along the horizon
in the recent municipal elections, and no weather prophet
worth liis salt can fail to read a warning in it. No one party
and no one issue triumphed. Instead, it seems that the elec
' torate arose once more with blood in its eye and swung a
heavy club.
New York gave Tammany Hall a terrific defeat. Pitts
burgh elected a Democratic mayor and Cleveland elected a
Itepubliciin.'' A Socialist sailed into office in Bridgeport,'
Conn., he Vare machine took a licking in Philadelphia,' and
Detroit elected the' son of Senator Couzens. In addition, the
J8th amendment got its final J blow and within a month it
will have ceased to be law.
" What does it all mean ? Chiefly, it means that the voters
still are on the warpath. They still are in the mood that
possessed them a year ago wliich is to say that they are
anxious to vote "atrainst." that they are exceedingly critir-nl
of 'the "ins." everywhere. If would be impossible to make a RonTwim "Fiattertr

The profound dissatisfaction which blew the lid off a year.
ago lias not died down People are tired of empty promises
and mediocre performances. .They are serving notice 'anew
that no officeholder who fails to take the demand for a' new
day into account can hope to survive. ' .'
That all this puts the national administration to a severe
test goes without saying. It has promised much and it has
started much. These promises and these actions must inn
the gauntlet of a nation that is tired of fooling. They have
got, in plain English, to bo good. The promises must be
sincere and the actions must be effective. For the municipal
elections simply reaffirm- a temper that was made evident
a year ago. There is a grim earnestness to this temper 'that
no one can fail to notice.

romantio comedy that found a prin

love. It turned out that the spy
wasn't so reprehensible after all, since
he purposely failed in his work, and
before the finale, he learned he was a
king because of his father's death In
the borderland country. And prob
ably they lived happily ever after,

the royal relationship.

to clarify the Issue."

. HOUSTON. Tex. VPi Blg-tlme horse
racing, denied the people of Texas
for 6 years because of a law pro
hibiting race track betting, Is coming
back to this state In large quantities.
The second big racing meet since
the statute permitting the parl-mu-tuel
system of wagering became ef
fective Sept. 1, gets undor way
Thanksgiving day at a spacious new
plant a few miles from Houston ana
will last 30 days. The track has been
christened "Epsom Downs."
First Meet Dig Success
The state's first large meet was
held In October and early November
by W. T. Waggoner at his Arlington
Downs plant midway between Dallas
and Fort Worth. The attendance
was so pleasing to officials that they
announced plans for holding another
scries of races next spring.
Backers of Epsom Downs likewise
Intend to sponsor a second meet In
the spring. - If these plans material
ize, Texas will have been treated to
nearly four -months of good racing
within less than a year after legali
zation of ityagerlng.
Those familiar with racing say the
location of Texas makes It easy to
obtain many of the nation's leading
thoroughbreds for fall and spring
meets. They explain that owners like
to ship their horses south In the
(all when the weather becomes cold
and are glad of a chance to enter
their ponies In Texas meets before
sending them to Miami, Fla... tor the ,
mld-wlnUr races there. .The horses
can bo raced In Toxas In the sprlnir ,'
before they are returned to the north '
and east. '
Thero Is talk of building large race
plants at other Texas points, partic
ularly In or near San Antonio. Rac
ing as such was never outlawed front
Texas but wagering was Illegal and
promoters found they could not make
expenses unless spectators were per
mitted to bet a few Hollars pa their
favorites. ' '
Some of the leading race horse
breeders In Kentucky, Maryland and
other states have registered entries
for the Epsom Downs meet. Officials
of tbe ovent state they have had
more than twice as many applications
for quarters for horses as thoy have
stalls.
Jacklo Wostropo, who already has
ridden more horses to victory , this
year than any modem Jockey mxs In
a 12-month period, will be here.
Westropo hopes to ride 300. winners
