' STOOGE GAMBLE’S
Mayor Tom Gamble’s refusal to comment upon the editorial
endorsement of the Republican candidacy of Gov. Alt Landon
by the chief supporter of the Gamble regime (the Savannah
Morning News) has not only created grave doubt of the Mayor’s
loyalty to the Democratic party, but has actually convinced
thousands of Savannah Democrate that Mr. Gamble a. sympa
thies are with the Republican, rather than the Democratic cause.
True, Mr. Gamble, as usual, sought to throw up a smoke
screen behind which to conceal the real reason for his refusal to
come to the defense of the party which has honored him; but
nobody will be deceived by the flimsy excuse rendered by His
Honor to the effect that, if he cared to comment at all, he would
not do so to a publication edited by one who formerly sought
office at the hands of the Republican party.
Mr. Gamble, astute politician that he is, reinforced as he
is by a band of astute professional politicians to dictate his
policies and public utterances, should have been able to hatch
out a more plausible excuse than that given a Savannah Daily
Times reporter for his refusal to reprove the Savannah Morning
News for its inspired attack upon President Roosevelt and his
policies. a ,
We have known oi no instance in the past wherein the
Mayor desired to create upon the Savannah public a favorable
impression on behalf of himself or his administration, that he
did not issue one of his famous and lengthy Gamble statements
through the columns of the Savannah Morning News; and even
though we readily concede that His Honor harbors a deep per
sonal prejudice against the Savannah Daily Times, and probably
for that reason would not care to be quoted through its columns,
we still believe the great majority of loyal Savannah Democrats,
who elected him to office as a Democrat, upon a Democratic tick
et, and through the use of the machinery of the Democratic
party, are justified in their indignant attitude toward him un
less and until he shall repudiate and condemn the chief pro
ponent of his administration for its constant abuse of the leader
of his party.
It is generally known that the Mayor has from time to time
contributed many political articles for publication in the Savan- j
nah Morning News. It is also known that such articles were not j
out of harmony with the general policy of that paper in its a
espousal of the cause of the vested interests and moneyed classes
of this city, the state and the nation. It is likewise well known
that the Mayor has been a tool not only of the politicians of Sa- <
vannah during his tenure as Mayor, but of the interests which
have burdened the masses of our people with oppressive laws
and excessive laws and special privileges for the “Big Classes.” (
The Savannah Morning News knows that the Republican <
party is and has ever been, the champion of the protected classes
in whose interest the Savannah Morning News is and always has (
been published. It just as well knows that President Roosevelt ;
is the greatest foe dishonest capitalism has ever encountered in l
a Chief Executive of this nation. Hence its support of Landon '
and the Republican party and its unjust and foul attacks upon ,
Mr. Roosevelt and the Democratic party.
And the Mayor, being a servant of the Savannah Morning
News and a tool of the interests it represents, dares not com
ment unfavorably to the political position of the Savannah Morn
ing News or to the interests represented by it, for which he is
the pliant stooge.
The Savannah Daily Times challenges and defies him to
take issue with his masters by causing to be published, not in
the Savannah Daily Times, but in the Savannah Morning News,
a statement denouncing that “Landon For President” editorial
appearing in the Savannah Morning News on June 12th, thereby
leaving unquestioned in the minds of Savannah Democrats who
elected him, any pefradventure of doubt as to his own loyalty t»
the Democratic party.
In view of the Mayor’s undeniable connection with and ap
proval of the general editorial policies of the Savannah Morning
News, and in view of the fact that, for reasons best known to
himself and as yet unexplained by him, he has seen fit to pass
unchallenged the “Savannah Morning News” constant assaults
upon the President and the Democratic party, may we, in con
clusion, leave with our readers these queries:
Was His Honor the Mayor consulted in advance of the pub
lication of the Savannah Morning News editorial under discus
sion?
Did His Honor the Mayor advise, collaborate and consort
with the person on the pay roll of the Savannah Morning News
who wrote that editorial denunciation of the President and the
Democratic party ?
Or, did His Honor the Mayor, himself, frame that editorial
as a paid writer for the Savannah Morning News?
Speak up now, Mr. Mayor, or forever hold thy peace I

—WORLD AT A GLANCE-
SOME G. O. P. GIBES
Contained In Republican Platform
ANGER THE DEMOCRATS
By LESLIE EICHeL
(Central Press Staff Writer)
OF ALL the charges made against
the New Deal in the Republican plat
form, this one is likely to catch the
most voters:
“It has been guilty of frightful
waste and extravagance, using funds
for public partisan purposes.”
The Democrats, of course, will deny
that. In their most innermost cir
cles they believe that the doling out
of relief funds is a handicap rather
than an aid. They wish they were rid
of it. There is no denial that there
has been waste and extravagance—
but what machinery could be set up
quickly enough to cover such a vast
area of misery that would be perfect?
That is the response.
The necessity, when the Roosevelt
administration came into office, was
to conquer the misery, to alleviate
suffering—immediately. And—ask the
New Dealers—when did the extrava
gance creep in? Why, when every
congressman, Democrat and Repub
lican alike, began clamoring for his
share. That clamor continues.
Suppose—ask the New Defers—
when did the extravagance creep in?
Whj\ when every congressman, Dem
ocrat and Republican alike, began

clamoring for his share. That clamor
continues.
Suppose—ask the New Dealers—
that the expenditures which now are
termed “wasteful” and “extravagant”
should be discontinued? How long
before there would be a revolution?
What would occur to business then?
That is—and will be—the answer of
the Democrats.
• • •
“Fear?”
The New Deal “has bred fear and
hesitation In commerce and industry,
thus discouraging new enterprises,
preventing employment and prolong
ing the depression,” says the Repub
lican platform.
The Democrats in answer, will say,
“Please look at the financial state
ments in the Wall Street Journal.”
The G. O. P. platform continues, in
its indictment of the New Deal: “It
secretly has made tariff agreements
with our foreign competitors, flood
ing our markets with foreign com
modities.”
Consult your friends, Big Business,
on that, say the Democrats. Ask
them how much business has in
creased with the resumption of
friendly trade relations, wherever we
are fortunate enough to get them. If
a nation does not buy from another
nation, it cannot sell; and if there
is no interchange of trade, there are
no jobs for workers, nomarkets for
crops.
Where?
The G. O. P. platform adds, of the
New Deal:
“It has coerced and intimidated
voters by withholding relief to those
opposing its tyrannical policies.”
Where? Name an instance. That
will be the answer of the Democrats.
“It has destroyed the morale of
many of our people and made them
dependent on the government.”
By preventing them from starving?
That have replaced reason and tol
erance.”
This angers the Democrats more
than any other statement. They will
assert that no more vicious attempts
to raise prejudice and hatred than
the “calumnies” of the Republicans
. ever have been recorded in the na
tion’s history.
Is it wrong—ask the Democrats—
to seek protection for the weak? Or
shall concentrated wealth be the only
judge. of what the underdog may
seek?
But to get back to the basic charge
—"class prejudice”—what can the
Republican “distortion of truth,
• shouted in high emotionalism” lead
i to except some sort of fascism with
complete destruction of the rights of
all classes except the one which then
finally usurps the power? That is
the Democratic answer, endeavoring
to tie up the Republicans, not with
liberty, but with fascism.
The Democrats believe that the Re
i publicans are getting into a difficult
position on this, and hope in the end
■ to denote them as the “anti-liberty”
i party.
-WASHINGTON AT A GLANCE-
BOTH MAJOR PARTIES
With Liberal Forces Riding to Power
PUZZLED ABOUT SELVES
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON. June 16—With, the
nomination of Gov. Alfred M. Landon
of Kansas as the Republican presi
dential nominee an accompished fact,-
voters find the two major political
parties in a contradictory state.
Complications began with the de
cision of large eastern financial and .
industrial Interests that Gov. Alt M.
Landon of Kansas would make a good
Republican candidate for president.
They reckoned that he would have
a strong appeal to the west. Their
intention was to enable him to carry
the east, too, if they could, but they
did not wish him to appear too pop
ular in their own section of the coun
try, because it seemed to them that
an eastern boom for him would hurt
him with prairie state voters.
They were for him because their '
judgment was that he would be man
ageable, much as the McKinley ad
ministration was amenable to Mark
Hanna s control.

To their embarassment he did prove
MyNew York
By
James Aswell
NEW YORK, Jcne 10—The two
nice old ladies had read an ad extoll
ling the hotel in a magazine long be
fore they left their pleasant South
ern town for the Big Week. They
were sisters and they had planned
a vacation in New York for a half
dozen years.
The hotel was in the Broadway
sector. They liked that. It made it
convenient to shop, to go to movies
and theaters, to feel In the midst of
things. The afternoon they arrived
they were atwitter with excitement.
The big lobby seemed to them
very grand and ornate as they bus
tled to the desk to register. Neither
of them noticed the strawberry blonde
who was being propelled to the street
between two waiters from the cock
tail lounge on the right. Neither of
them was aware that, twenty feet
from the counter as they inscribed
their trembling squiggles on the reg
istry card, a man with a hawk’s face
and deep-set, pale eyes, was selling
an eighth of an ounce of heroin to tfhe
tall man in spats with the falsetto
laugh.
In their room, which overlooked a
side street, they remarked together
how different New York was from
what they had expected. So much
more courtesy. So much more hos
pitality, Even the belLhop had been
so kind and genial. (They couldn’t
know, of course, that the party in
908 had handed him four fingers of
scotch not half an hour ago.)
Presently there was a crash and
a .scream in what seemed to be the
adjoining room. The nice old ladies
gasped and phoned the manager. The
manager came, after a few more
crashes and another muffled scream
and, following a brief investigation,
reported to the nice old ladies that
the suite down the hall was being
redecorated and what they had heard
was the noise the carpenters and
paper-hangers made. He would move
the nice old ladies to another, quiet
er room. He didn’t explain the
screams, and they overlooked the
omission.
That evening they went to Carne
gie Hall and heard a deliriously mov
ing concert. They met some friends,
too —a lady who had lived in their
town many years ago and was now
a prominent social service worker.
When the nice old ladies told her
the name of their hotel she frowned
a little and stared at them sharply.
She smiled faintly.
“We like it so much, so quiet and
homey,” the nice old ladies said.
“Oh, I guess it’s changed then,”
said the old acquaintance. “I didn't
know it had that reputation.’
Back at the hotel a funny thing
happened. One of the nice old Wies
was sure she lost her pocketbook
coming up in the elevator, which had
been crowded. Certainly she had it
when she got out of the taxi. But
maybe not ... It was careless of her
and distressed her, but there wasn’t
much money in the bag; about SB.
She cashed traveler’s checks when
she needed them, as did her compan
ion.
It was a little difficult getting to
sleep because of the singing in the
room above, but the manager, again
consulted, said that this was unavoid
able —the room was a rehearsal hall
for the next edition of a big musical.
“The Follies,” unless he was mis
taken. The nice old ladies were thrill
ed by this. Imagine listening to a
York! Os course the sound of splin
tering glass a litle later, as though
someone had thrown a tumbler
against the wall, was puzzling, but
of course rehearsals were mysterious
affairs anyway.
Then they heard the shot. They
were just dozing off when they heard
the shot. Both of them sprang up in
bed, asking each other if their ears
could have deceived them. Then
voices and running feet in the hall
outside. One of the nice old ladies
cautiously opened the door an inch
and peered outside. Two policemen
had passed on their way to the ele
vator with a struggling form between
them.
Their friend the manager followed
at a little distance. The nice old lady
demanded of him what the trouble
was. He stammered, looked annoyed
and then told her frankly that one
of the big movie companies was tak
ing a scene here in the hotel. He was
scrry the play-acting had annoyed
any guest.
The old lady sighed happily and
went back to bed. This was a fine,
refined hotel —so interesting too! A
place to recommend.
to be overly popular in the east. At
least his popularity with the rank
and file of eastern Republicans was
so obvious as to produce just the ef
feot that the conservative big inter
ests had foreseen—it began to damage
him in the west.
To counteract this tendency his
western managers resorted to the ex
.pedient of advertising him as increas
ingly radical.
His eastern supporters, in short
had built him up in the west, on the
supposition that they would bilk the
farmers by inducing them to submit
them to shout for a candidate who
was not as liberal as they supposed
him to be. In turn his western man
agers undertook to bilk the eastern in
terests by taking advantage of the
lattens’ missionary work to put the
governor into office as a radical when
' the easterners thought they were
getting a conservative.
♦ ♦ *
Then Court Decision
At this jucture the federal supreme
court rendered its highly unpopular
decision nullifying New York’s min
imum wage law.
Thereupon Landon's western ad
visers deemed it desirable to place
him in the position of advocating a
constitutional amendment curtailing
the supreme court’s powers.
Originally the eastern conservative
Republicans had expected the Demo
crats to campaign for a supreme court
amendment, with the G. O. P. oppos
ing it. The New York wage law de
cision turned the whole situation
topsy-turvy. Landon beat President
Roosevelt to an attitude of favoring
modification of the supreme court’s
authority.
In fact, Landon became, in some
respects, more New Dealish than
President Roosevelt.
♦• • "
Their Criticism
The Landonites are critical oi
Roosevelt policies, indeed, but not on
the theory that they , are unduly ad
vanced—rather on the ground that,
while the liberality of their inten
tions is all right, they are bungling
and needlessly extravagant.
However, in the ultimate purpose
that they suggest the Landon folk’s
expressions outdo Rooseveltlanlsm.
Anyway, they appear to do so.
How much they really mean is &
question to be pondered over. •
The conservative easterners who
promote the Landon candidacy in. the .
first place!do not exactly acquiesce in
them but they, keep mum.
They are so anxious to beat Roose
velt that they arrived at the Cleve
land convention prepared to promise
anything. Parenthetically, campaign
promises are not always kept.
The easterners tried to put over
their own ideas in the platform, and
did in certain passages—merely to
have those passages repudiated by
Governor Landon the following hour.
Can It Be?
But on the face of the situation
everything is bottom side up.
The supposition wafc that the Re
publicans were to have taken the con
servative side against Democratic
radicalism.
Instead, it almost seems as if Re
publicanism is trying to surpass Dem
ocratic liberality. But that the con
servative G. O. P. element hasn’t got
its fingers crossed is a question for
anyone to guess on.
You’re Telling
Me?
WHEN A MAN calls you a snake
don’t get mad. Snake experts say only
one serpent in 10 is even mildly dan
gerous. We wonder if man .measures
up to so high a standard. /

looks forward to seeing this head
line in the Savannah Dally
Times: “Tax Collectors Go On
Strike.”

Florida fishermen report finding
skeletons eight feet tall. So far, Cali
fornia’s press agents haven't report
ed but we have no duobt that they

One Republican says he be
lieves his party made a mistake in
naming Landon presidential can
didate because it’s so hard to
find something to rhyme with
“Landon” for a campaign theme
song. Oh, yeah? What rhymes
with “Roosevelt”?

All those improvements the polit
ical speakers promise us are very fine,
indeed, but what are they going to
do about the St. Louis Browns?

Democrats might start quoting

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY BY DAY
20 Years Ago Today—The Austrian
offensive against Italy halted, and
Italy launched a counteroffensive.
The Austrian drive had been frus
trated by the pressure suddenly ex
erted by Russians in the east. That
day Russians captured Cernowitz,
capital of Bukowina. The French
chamber of deputies began the first
secret session in the history of the
Third Republic, to hear the plans of
the French general staff to win the
war before autumn.

IT’S TRUE
There are 249,850 cases of World
war profiteering in France still to be
adjuticated ,and at the present rate
it would t ake 1,000 years to hear
them. Which shows you how self
sacrificial the French people were
when their country was invaded and
all but overwhelmed.
The pivot office-chair is the inven
tion of Thomas Jefferson, who wrote
the Declaration of Independence.
Newspapers held him up to ridicule
while he was president because of it,
saying that he constructed it “so he
could look all ways at once.”
You’re wrong if you believe “jump
ing beans” are beans. They are seeds
of a plant belonging to the genus
Croton. They themselves have no
power of “jumping,” this being fur.
nished by the caterpillar of a small
moth which gets into the seeds in
larval state. The “jumping” results
from the activity of the caterpillar
within the ripened capsule.
George B. Winton of Vanderbilt
university, referring to a statement
here, tells us Alexander Vi’s papal
bull did not divide all of America be
tween Portugal and Spain: “The line
drawn by Pope Alexander did not
touch the American mainland. A
year later the two kings agreed to
move it 270 leagues further west, cor
responding then closely with the 50th
degree of longitude West. It clipped
off the eastern elbow of South Amer
ica, entering near the mouth of the
Amazon and striking the Atlantic
just about the northern border of
Uruguay. That region thus became
Portuguese. The papal bull was in
form a deed, conveying not only
lands but peoples.”
Oliver R. Smith correct* a corre
spondent who corrected “Mormon
Church” to “Church of the Latter-
Day Saints.” “May I point out,”, he
writes, “that the significant part «f
the church’s name is still omitted, it
is Church of Jesus Christ of Lattei
Day Saints. The length of the title
is doubtless responsible for the com
mon use of the name Mormon. This
is derived from the Book of Mirmon
whch adherents of 'the church con»
sider an inspired volume of scripture.
Latter-day Saints believe the Bibls
too, and since the Book of Mo'mon
is a history of early Israelitish peo
ples on the American continent, they
consider it a valuable supplement to
the Bible.”

Hints on Etiquette
When a man escorts a woman to
the theater, he should not leave her
during every intermission, although
it is quite proper for him to leave
her for a short smoke at least onoe
during the performance.
