That does not attract, as it
would have done, when New
York's garment workers were
almost starving in sweat shops,
when street car drivers made
$42 a month, when bread
lines were long at 2 o'clock
every morning, waiting hours
in bitter cold for a piece o
jlry bread and a cup of cof
fee. Times have changed. The
struggle today is not. of. work
ers against bosses, but a strag
gle of the worker to become a
boss.
As for the word "commun
ist," ask the gentleman that
owns one to give you a half
interest in his automobile, in
his house and lot, his savings
bank account.
Those arc things that mil
lions of workers' own today,
and few or none owned forty
years ago.
To make your appeal suc
ceed, make it sound reason
able. That . applies even to
communists, usually sincere.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. UP)
Herbert Hoover took time out to
day from his campaign work to
see himself in the act of deliver
ing a political speech and to hear
his own voice, as recorded In tnc
talking movies.
Leaving his headquarters early
in the day with his son, Allan.
and his secretary, George Akcrson,
tlio republican presidential candi
date drove to a downtown theater
for a prlvalo showing of both his
notification ceremonies at t'alo
Alto, Calif., and his appearance
before the people of his natlvo
state, under a "big top" at West
Branch, Iowa.
Returning to his headquarters
he attacked an accumulation of
business so as to clear bis desk
before thu arrival of P. 11. Prince
of Boston, a friend of the lato
George Harvey, who was the only
caller on his list for the day.
With William H. Hill, chairman
of the Hoover-Curtis campaign
committee in New York, and Jl
Kdmond .Machold, chairman of the
empire state republican commit
tee, the nominee yesterday went
dcepor into the New York situa
tion. Machold, who - recently was
selected to succeed the lato George
K. Morris, said he told Hoover
New York slate could be counted
upon to go republican despite the
claims of John J.'tlaskou, chair
man of the democratic national
committee.
Asked about tho effect of the
prohibition Issue . In Now York
stale, Machold said that unques
tionably this issue would loom
larger in New Yuik City than in
any other section of the country.
However, he expects tho up-state

"I was Invited there to eatnln
llsh a lighthouse and as occur
red In other places, I was ma tie
a gift of four lota upon which I
can build a church. I never talk
ed over tho radio about tlio salo
of those, lots or mentioned them
from my pulpit. The whole thing
Ih too absurd to dignify a state- .
ment."

viewed the suit as a publicity
stunt, on what a counter suit is
to bo l'iled.
"This sudden outcry against
Mrs. McPhorson on the evo of her
departure for Europe for an evan

least consideration.
"What controversy thosu com
plainants may Iihvo with Iho own
ora or ageiitB of this lake properly.

However, what is said in these
complaints probably will have im
portant bearing on tho action for
legal redress which will follow."
