L awns of ennui induced by a Hire
ihing, Democratic politicians #@p
orvising the party’s econgressimal
campaign manage to discen a
ouple of little bogeys which{m-e
harely large enough to satisfythe
demand that every campaign Jjro
juce a little bogey. or two. |
Evervone is sure of ‘& f;rge
Democratic victory and tlsre’'s
some danger that party w fiers
and voters will become S 0 %’red
.« election day that they’'ll B off
playing golf. i
such lassitude, if widesread.
might mean the difference ofsev
eral seats in the house. i
The other little bogey isje‘that
the elections Wwill recruit: new
members for. the anti-NewDeal
congressional bloc, especia¥y in
e senate, Where you will hive a
gpectacle somewhat analoggg to
that in Mr. Hoover's term Wien a
ploc of Republican proghssive
cenators was making the adiinis
tration very miserable indee.
Certain Democratic canddates
for the sénate, if elected, are more
than likely to join the littlegroup
of conservative Democréis of
whom typical members are Glass
and Byrd of Virginia, Grc of
oklahoma, and Bailey of North
Carolina. ’
Former Governor Vic ]_llnahey,
who will beat Senator Bss in
Ohio, is no favorite of Q‘t New
Dealers—and vice versa. f John
M. Callahan, old anti- Hosevelt
leader in Wisconsin’s Defocracy,
chould defeat Bob LaFolljte, the
éministration would thhflit was
too bad and expect little P from
Callahan ’
After Governor A. Har¥ Moore
defea Senator Kean . New
Jersey, his support of th{admin
istration is likely to be ‘ased on
the status of relations f)etwaen
the Hague New Jersey fachine
and the Farley national 3achine.
But there are severareasons
for not getting excited ut this
Little begey. One is thatine elec
tion probably’ will bring g just as
many pro-New Deal De#Crats as
antis and that' anti-Roqflvelt Re
publicans will be knoclt off in
roportion, which meangthe sen
ate should be easer thajever for
the White House to ha&e-
Also, the insurgent Rpublicans
in the Hoover administfl!ion were
riding what turned o to be a:
turn in popular sentimng whereas
the anti-New Deal sghtors are
thus far on the uspopult side.
v P ek
When you speak ‘ofp Demo
cratic “victory,” you rmn a fail
ure of the Republicangio cash in
on a normal off-yean backswing
which would give thepia gain of
0 or more seats.
e politicians hereldmit they
can't guess the resy With any
“‘»"::“- of exactitude, ¥ the most
honest guess around Pemocratic
headquarters is that tis party will
land somewhere betwer a loss of
<0 seats and a gain 0%0.
Republicans, even fitheir most
faumy tic moments, #n't hoping
for a gain of more thi 40.

Wife Held at Louisville;

Bail of $25,000
' SPRINGFIELD, Oo.— #) —One
jump ahead of the law, the man
hunted as the kidnaper of Mrs.
Alice Speed Stoll left along his trial
today evidences of fear that his
luck can not hold ouy — that his
capture is inevitable.
Department of Justice agents,
studying tell-tale marks that Tho
mas H, Robinson, jr., tarried here
during his fox-like flight from In-j
dianapolis where the, Louisville, |
Ky., society woman was held, set
out on new excursions, occasioned
apparently by fresh clues on tho‘
line of flight. |
Various Reports |
With reports rife that the fugi
tive has been seen at Dayton, O,
and numerous other points, Melvin
Purvis, department of justice ace
and nemesis of the notorious John !
Dillinger, sped out of the city after
a hurried visit last night, but kept
his own counsel. Three other in
vestigators, collaborating with
Purvis, lefy also, ostensibly for Cin
cinnati.
Robinson left in the hands of hlsl
pursuers an automobile bearing !
license plates originally issued to
his wife, his overcoat, a suitcasel
and three federal reserve notes,|
identified by their serial numbers
as part of the $50,000 ransom money
paid by Berry V. Stoll for the re
lease of his wife. t

$25,000 bond, :
Peace officers evidently \\'ero;
satisfied that the younger Robin-’
son stopped in Springfield Tuesday |
only long enough to shave at a[
rooming house. To the proprietorl
he was agreeable, suave, unhurried |
So pleasant was he that Mrs. Edna
Dearwester gave nog a thought tc
his visit until she saw his pictures in
a newspaper. Then she was so up- |
set that authorities found diffivult,vl
in obtaning a coherent story from
her.

Mrs. Alice Stoll. Robinson is a former inmate of the Tennessee asylum

Kiwanians were advised today by
Dr. Wiliiam J. Carrington, of At

president, to make their meetings
fact finding forums as a means of
bringing - about greater efficiency
in local governments.
Speaking before the annual state
convention of Georgia Kiwanis
clubs, which opened here yester
day, Dr. <Carrington said . that
squalor, ignorance and idleness
were handicaps which caused chil- |
dren to be underprivileged, adding}
that Kiwanis proposes to strike |
at those conditions. ‘
Misspent Dollars
“If every misspent tax d()llar\
were applied to slum oloarance,{
public health, public schools, play- |
grounds and prevention, under
privilege would be stopped at the‘
source,” "he declared.
Asking the question “what can a
service club do to reduce waste and
inefficiency in loca] government,”
Dr. Carrington said some shout
“turn out the rascals.” He added
that “public officials are not res- |
cals. Bonding companies rate them
asg honest as any other group.”
““Openly .discuss daylight ac
counting methods, overlapping gov
ernments and training of publie
officials,” he told the delegates.
“These are not political questions
in any partisan sense. With that
sort of program, the problem of |
