(AP) The plea "let us Tote as oar con vionrei dictate" was made last Bight ty Ellery Sedgwick, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, in a radio talk. " The democratic national com mittee, in making public the text, said Mr. Sedgwick wished to em phasize that "studies in tempera ment. " the title of his paper, ex pressed his personal views and not the position of the publication. "Let us vote for Hoover or for Smith as men." the editor urged affr contrasting the personalities of the major parties' presidential candidates. "Let us honestly pre fer the republican promise ot good bitness' or the democratic plea for fair dealing. Let us not try to fool our own souls by voting before the world for; a secret rea son which the more decent of us dare scarcely even murmur to our selves." "A strange campaign It is." said Mr. Sedgwick. "On the sur face are issues casual almost, and not exciting, but below the Issues re two contrasting personalities, each strong enough to said the ship on bold new courses. "And beneath the champions themselves, far below their poli tical convictions, plumbing depths which no American election has ever stirred, there is joined one issue at the very core of the re public and of society itself.

(AP) Fifteen per cent of the native population in some parts of the -MacKenzie rtver re gion has been wiped out by In fluenza. Captain Vladimir per- uiier. nead of a Philadelphia academy of science expedition, de clared here today after a summer in the arctic. The death among the natives run into the hundreds, Perfilief said. Members of the expedition gave relief to the natives and showed, them how to care for their sick. Thp expedition, which Is com posed of college students, started down the MacKenzie river last June. Near Herschell island they bought an eskimo schooner and cruised along the Arctic coast, ob taining much valuable scientific data. ' Crossing the Rat river portage after coming inland again on the MacKenzie, the party lost one of its canoes containing salt, flour and sugar, and hoped to obtain some of the missing necessities from the Indians. When the na tives learned they came from the MacKenzie country. however, they shunned the party as if they were plague stricken. For weeks the expedition sub sisted largely on rice dncks and other game. The lack of salt be came almost unbearable before the party reached Fort Yukon, their first outpost of civilization CITIZENS RELATE L 111 PUB E PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25. f API. Nfrlv a dozen nrominent Philadelphians testified before a jury in United States district court here that they had purchased li quor from Joe D. Kerper, alleged society bootlegger, who is on trial charged with violating tne proni bitlon law and with conspiracy. When dry agents raided Ker per'a place several weeks ago they found liquor and a so-called "cus tomers' list." which included the names of persons socially promi nent. Kerper was indicted by a federal crand iury on 37 counts and Alfred E. Norris. New York broker, John Brill and Tony de Mavo. were also indicted. Brill una Ho Mavo were emnloves of Kerper. A shipment of alleged liquor to Norris is said to have furnished a clue that ultimately resulted in Keroer's arrest. Norria will be tried later. Rita and Dunn, king and queen of the high wire, furnished thrills xplenty. The Flying Beckmans, stars of the air, are thrillers and were pro nounced by last night's crowd on the 90 foot swaying pole, held the crowd spellbound. 4Tt f 3 t Prune Harvest N earing Finish DALLAS, Ore., Sept. 25.
