TITE SUXDH-Y OKEGXySTAK, TOTCTEANT, OCTOBER 15. 1923 GUMP STOCK SOARS TO LOFTY HEIGHTS ANDREW (ANDY) GUMP, HE WEARS NO MAN'S COLLAR AND STANDS 100 PER CENT FOR THE PEOPLE. Freshness and power regained by thonsancfe They found a simple way to help Nature No-Man's Collar Candidate Staggeringly Popular. NO, ANDY ISN'T BROKE Kind Friends Willing to Stay With People's Man Until His Last Dollar Is Spent. '"Strenuous' fails to do justice to the campaign which is being made by Andrew Gump, candidate for con gress. Each day the postman comes to- the Gump-f or-Congress club stag gering under the weight of mall from the people. At this rate Andy Gump will be elected unanimously, despite the attacks made on him by certain newspapers, according to Colonel Bush, prominent citizen and taxpayer of Bull Run, who is man aging the campaign. An unconfirmed, report was given wide circulation yesterday to the effect that Mr. Gump's bankroll is dwindling and cannot much longer stand the strain of the demands on dt So much credence was given to this rumor that the crowd of peo ple who have been seeking' Mr. Gump to sell him tickets on auto mobile raffles, eofa cushions, adver tising in lodge publications and sim ilar separating propositions, dwin dled and moved over to the head quarters' of the financial angel of another candidate. f Andy Isnt "Broke." "There's not a scintilla of founda tion for the baseless charge that Andy Gump Is going broke." Colonel Bush announced when interviewed last night. "Good old Andy has spent freely, but he la not finan cially embarrassed. We realize that as long as Mr. Gump has a dollar left he will put it into the cam paign, and it Is our firm determina tion to remain with him to nis last dollar. Could loyalty go further? "Nor is there reason for the un kind statements published that the publicity department has douDie crossed Andy. In answer to this we point with pride to the fact that Andy Gump, candidate for congress, is the most-talked-of nominee be fore the people today. Everyone who has eyes to see has read that Andy Gump is 100 per cent for the people and that he wears no man's collar. He is popular with the voters and with the present mem bers of congress. Representative Albert Johnson of the third Wash lnmon district, for instance, called on me and said Andy is running strong. Mr. Johnson said that what congress needs is more Gumps and that Andy will feel at home when he gets there. And that Is a sample of how sentiment is running. Parade ls for Gump. "Ton notice, I hope, the parading bands this afternoon, and "Andy Gump seated 'in his automobile, bowing to the throngs, while his campaign sign was on the side of the car? . Well, eome or the orowo Imagined that it was a fire-preven tion parade, but that was only Andy's clever camouflage. See," said the colonel, lifting a picture from his desk, "here" is a photo graph of Gump as he appeared. Maybe your newspaper will find apace to publish it." Owing to the mass of letters being received by dolonel Bush and his stenographer being out shopping for a long skirt dress, he has de cided to publish them as follows: Colonel Bush: Is Andy Gump for r against the national bonus? M. J. Ernest, 372 East Clay street, city. (Mr. Gump says that the ex-serv-ce men are entitled to considera tion. Col. B.) Condon, Or., Colonel Bush: Will you enlighten us for which con gressional district Hon. Andrew Gump is running as a candidate, wnether it is the first or third. As he could not possibly beat Hon.

Dear Sin In looking back over my collection of campaign literature I find that on Eeptember 23 your candidate for congress, Andrew Gump, appeared tn publio without coat or vest, and Without Buspenders. You are no doubt aware that the fruspender policy of the several can didates la the paramount issue of the campaign. I realize that the incident of Sep tember 23 may have been an inad vertence, but as a possible constitu ent of Mr. Gump and as spokesman --rlor a large number of exactly 100 per cent, more or less, Americans, I demand to know whether Mr. Gump does or does not wear suspenders as a, settled policy. Let us have a frank statement from Mr. Gump on the great suspender issue. Major Thicket. (Mr. Gump supports himself, therefore needs-- no euspenders. Cot Bush). Jefferson, Or.

SUBURBAN TRAFFIC MANAGER SOLVES LONDON PROBLEMS Brigadier-General Thornton, Imported From America and Knighted, ' - Going to Canada Following Record in English Metropolis. LONDON, Oct. .14. (By the Asso ciated press.)-The English lish newspapers are saying: that Brigradier-'General Sir iHenry W.n Thornton, who Is leaving" the Great Eastern railway to . take charge of the Canadian system, registered one great achievement in England in that he organized the most efficient system for handling an enormous' suburban passenger traffic under steam that passes in and out of any. station in the world. It - was planned when General Thornton came to London in 1914, from the United States, where he was general manager of the Long Island railroad, New York, that the Great Eastern suburban traffic would be electrified but the war and its consequent financial strain upon the railroads rendered that impossible. The papers are also recalling the frank admissions by the directors of the Great Eastern, when General Thornton was' imported in the face of much opposition, that the Eng lish railways were lacking in men capable of dealing with great prob- ems. The explanation is given here that England is such a small coun try that her railway men can gain no experience in handling great sys tems such as a big continent affords. The new scheme of organizing the English roads into four groups is about to be started and with its be ginning goes the foremost figure in the railway world when Lord Claud Hamilton, passes into retirement He is 80 years of age. j - . Great Britain's agricultural Indus- i try Is said to be in a critical state, i and a combined effort on the part of the farmers to reduce the laborers' i wages has created such an uproar that delegations of the farmers and farm workers will visit Lloyd George and lay their cases before him.

An attempt to encourage the manufacture and use of motorless airplanes In England, as well as to beat the record now held by a Ger man, is being made by a London newspaper, which has instituted a glider competition for a prize of f 1000. The competition will be held on Itford hill, beginning Monday and lasting for a week. The prize will go to the aviator who can remain longest in the air, but he must re main aloft at least half an hour and land within 800 yards of the start ing point. Some 30 competitors, including Anthony Pokker, the Dutch avi ator, and several Frenchmen, are entered. . Graft among British municipal employes is rare, but the custom of tipping has been so long observed that some classes of government workers, notably the postmen, de mand tips. - Eight rubbish collectors in a fash ionable Westminster section of Lon don have been suspended for a week for thus- holding up householders. They demanded a shilling a week for each hqjise. Now the council, has received a pe tition from the rubbish collectors protesting against the punishment of the eight and declaring that all garbage collectors receive regular tips.

Ordinance Prepared on Umatilla Avenue and Lents Project. City Commissioner Barbur has prepared an ordinance providing for the connection of the present Uma-tilla-a venue sewer with the Lents trunk sewer under construction. This connection has been requested by the board of directors of the Portland Rowing club in order that .there will be but one sewer outfall in the Willamette river where these sewei-s terminate. - City Health Officer Parrish has also recommended the plan on the grounds of health protection. The connection would cost about $500. Commissioner Barbur has recom mended that one-half of this cost be paid by the club and that the other half come from the general fund of the city. Arrangements have been made with Charles A. Shea, manager of the J. F. Shea company, contractors for the Lents trunk sewer, to lower the sewer at the point of discharge to overcome objections made by Dr. Parrish. Sheridan Boys Win Prize. SHERIDAN, Or, Oct. 14.

Vigorous, compelling health is natural, not exceptional. Loss of it is always due to some violation of Nature's law. The vital needs that so many people neglect Health and life itself depend on two vital functions: ' First the living cells that form our bodies must be repaired and nourished from day to day. Second, the poisonous waste that gathers in the intestines must be regularly removed. Check either, of these two processes, even temporarily, and the body is weakened. Natural buoyant health begins to fade. Pre mature age, loss pf vigor and vitality, constipation, and skin dis turbances are the result. Today we know that the fresh, living cells of Fleischmann's Yeast contain a natural food with the very elements which help the body absorb its proper nourishment, and keep tho system clean. Like any other plant or vegetable, yeast produces the best results when fresh and "green" not dried or "killed." Fleisch mann'3 Yeast is the highest grade living yeast always fresh. It is not a medicine, it is a natural food. Results cannot be ex pected unless it is eaten regularly.

Street City , Sttr CURZON CARRIES MELON; PARISIANS ARE SHOCKED British Foreign Minister Delivers Serious Blow to Old French Prejudice Against Carrying Packages. PARIS. Oct. 14. (By tne Asso ciated Press.) A gentlemao does not carry packages inPari3, but Lord Curzon, the British foreign minister, during his flying visit last week, delivered a severe blow to that old Parisian prejudice. He found time between conferences with Premier Poincare to do a little shop ping, and being alone and In a hurry he carried his purchases in a small package, much to the surprise of the few Parisians who recognized him. . A melon, however, may be carried and it Is sole exception to the bur dens that a gentleman may bear. The carrying of a parcel has a humble station in life. Carriers are always invited by the janitors to take the service stairway and to stay clear of the main staircase. The exception of the melon was established by the late King Edward VII of England when he was prince of Wales. Tempted by a luscious melon, his highness bought it and carried U to his apartment. The porter was so shocked at seeing the prince with the melon that he called all the servants within hail ing distance to view a gentleman performing a cook's work. "Why, that's the prince of Wales," said one. Well," remarked the porter, "if that's the prince of Wales, he knows what is proper, all right." Since that day it has" been good form for a gentleman to carry a melon on the streets of Paris. With the popularity which Lord Curzon acquired in the past few weeks hero he could doubtless establish a sec ond exception by making It known what his package contained. - Napoleon RomanettI, who in re cent days has enjoyed great voguo In the Corsican woods, has protested Indignantly against misrepresenta tions by a group of tourists. Ke turnlrnr to Farla from a tour of the islands, a party of French and Amer icans pictured him as a bandit of the old Corsican type and described how he "shot up" the town of VIz zanova. The tourists said that ha demanded a heavy ransom from all of the guests of the leading hotels. Komanetti admits certain differ ences between himself and the gen darmes. These differences, he said, make the air of Brussels more salu brious than the air of the town, but it is a matter between himself and the gendarmes. As for shoot ing up the hotel and ransoming the guests here is his version of the affair: "A party of tourists, climbing the mountain on muleback, stumbled upon his retreat. He greeted them politely and entertained them so cor dialy that the tourists invited him to return their, call at their hotel. RomanettI the folowing evening, like a true modern, self-respecting bandit, drove his high-powered car to the town and placed sentinels ATTENTION H.TnpIing Company, Inc.

This action spread consterna tion throughout. It was not until RomanettI assured the guests that there was no danger that they were quieted. He then proceeded to in spire the hotel keeper with the proper Idea of Corsican hospitality. "A bottle of champagne for every guest," he shouted, giving his order. Every guest was obliged to drink his or her bottle. A second bottle for each one followed with the same Injunction. It was 2:30 in the morn ing when RomanettI sought the mountains again, leaving the guests, according to his own story. In such a state that they did not give clear evidence of what had occurred.
