Twenty-Seventh Year MEDFOUDi OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1932. No. 122. The Weather Forecast: Tonight and Saturday fair; no change In temperature. Temperature: Highest yesterday , 80 Lowet this morning 50 Medford IMJNE Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS H ERE la a statement mads In this writer's presence the other day by a prominent Southern Oregon Democrat: "I am still on the fence, but I shouldn't be greatly surprised If be fore the campaign Is over I find my self In the Hoover camp. "Hoover has done a great many admirable things. In my opinion, and I'm not very greatly Impressed by Roosevelt. As for Corner, he simply hasn't made any record at all, If you leave It to me. "Besides, as a Western man, I haven't much use for a Tammany candidate." U A RE you willing to he quoted to that effect?" this writer asked. "No, not yet," was the answer. "But when I get off the fence, all my friends are going to know about It. And I'm not going to be on the fence much longer." ALL this, by the way, sounds like , Hoover propaganda. Really, It ISNT. This writer, believing that In the face of difficult conditions Hoover hss made as good a record as could have been made and has displayed a great deal of courage in making that record, expects to vote for Hoover, but has no desire to Influence the votes of others. If you are wise, you won't let ANY BODY Influence- your opinions, but will vote your convictions. If you think Hoover Isn't, the best man, vote against him. IT seems odd, but it is apparently true that a great many people think tt Is TEDDY Roosevelt who has been nomlnsted by the Democrats, not knowing, or at least not remembering, that he has been deed for many years. Edwin H. Wilder, manager of the Ban franclsco office of the Califor nia Newspaper publishers' association, , is authority for this statement: ' "Since the Democratlo convention. Mrs. Theadore Roosevelt, widow of the dead president, hss received more than 60 letters addressed to him snd offering congratulations on his nomi nation." That Is hard to believe, but Mr. Wilder Is a responsible citizen, not given to making wild statements. E adds: "Many other people believe It Is Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of the great Teddy, who has been nomlna ted. Theodore, Jr. who is now gover nor-genersl of the Philippines, has received more thsn 600 letters con gratulating him on his nomination. It seems to be plain from this that Nominee Roosevelt will receive con siderable benefit from his name, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, Demo cratic nominee for President pf the TJnlted States, by the way, Is fifth cousin of the late Theodore Roossvelt. If you are good at figuring out relationships, you can work out from this how far back their com mon ancestry goes. rxtTRINO 1931, manufacture of U American automobiles produced 2.472.399 units, of which 2.038.183 were passenger cara and 434.178 were commercial cars. This is 29.8 per cent fewer esrs than were produced in 1930, and the output In 1930, in Its turn, fell 31.5 per cent under the output for the big yesr of 1929. , Depressions, you see, sffect the au tomobile market pretty shsrply. HERE Is an Interesting fact: Production of automobiles In 1931 fslled by 731.178 csrs to meet re V placement requlrementa for the year. That Is to say, the American people last year WORE OUT three-quarters of a million more care than they bought. That ought to mean good business for the automobile Industry when good times return and people begin to buy cara again.

Y. MAYOR Action On Ouster Charges Against Jimmy Walker After-Election in Novem ber Looms As Possibility EXCCfmVE CHAMBER. Albanv. N. Y.. Aug. 12. (AP) Possibility that governor Roosevelt's decision on the ouster charges against Mayor James J. Walker of New York City may be aemyea until alter next November's election developed today when Roose- vit announced he would withhold his action until after question of his re moval powers went to the courts. Shortly after the morning session of the Walker hearing, now in Its second day, the governor stated he would not pass upon the mayor's case until the supreme court had had an opportunity to determine the le gality of a writ of prohibition, de manded by George Donnelly, secre tary of the Bronx chamber of com merce. The supreme court does not meet until August 19. Donnelly, rebuffed In three courts. today obtained from Justice Harold J. Hinman of the appellate division of the supreme court, an order In structing Mr. Roosevelt to explain his Jurisdiction. The governor direct ed Attorney General John J. Bennett, Jr., to prepare argument on tho le gality of the action. Bennett, leaving Governor Roose velt's office after a five minute con ference said: "The governor sent for me Imme diately and told me to notify Justice Htnman that he would ahow no dis courtesy to the court and would with hold his decision until the courts had passed upon his authority." The supreme court Is the trial court of New York and corresponds to district courts In most states. Should either party to the litigation dispute the action of the supreme court and that likely would develop no matter what decision was given. the way would be open for appeals to the appellate division and finally the court of last resort the court of appeals. Before final word came from that court, It Is possible Roosevelt's candidacy for the presidency will have been passed upon by the peo ple." HOOVER TO GALL FOR PROSPERITY WASHINGTON.
