WAITE.—Just ten weeks and one
day after the death of his wife H.
Blair Waite passed away at his farm
home in Halfmoon township. He had
not been in robust health for some
time and a little over two weeks ago
he went to the home of his son Earl,
at Centre Line, to help get in his corn
crop. He got caught in the rain,
took a chill and heavy cold which lat-
er developed into pleuro-pneumonia
and his death followed on Sunday.
He was a son of Henry and Anna
Waite and was born at Birmingham,
Blair county, on April 4th, 1860,
hence had reached the age of 68
years, 7 months and 7 days. In the
spring of 1864 his parents moved to
Halfmoon township, where he grew to
manhood and had lived ever since. In

Editor Democratic Watchman:
My Dear Mr. Meek:—In your issue
of last week I notice you stated that
vote on Amendment No. 2, on the
State College bond issue, was 25 yes
and 89) no. This is a misstatement,
as this vote was on Amendment No.
The vote on No. 2 was 154 yes
and 15 no.
In justice to those voters who
work at State College and who live
in the West Precinct of Harris Twp.
we would kindly ask you to make this
correction as it puts us all in a wrong
status with the Institution for which
we are working.
Your respectfully,

THROUGH WITH POLITICS
Graduated from his twenty-five-
year school of politics, Governor Al-
fred E. Smith has started on the
course all graduates must take—that
of looking for a job.
There was no trace of disappoint-
ment about the Governor as he start- d
ed packing Wednesday morning pre-
paratory to returning to Albany, where
for four terms he has served the vot-
ers of New York State. He seemed
as eager as almost any school boy to
find his job.
What that job will be depends on
the “Boss,” Mrs. Smith, the former
Katie Dunn, who has followed him
in all the vicissitudes and glories that
have led him from East Side New
York obscurity to becoming a candi-
date—albeit unsuccessful—for the
Nation’s highest office. And Mrs.
Smith smiled through her regrets
that he Al, the same Al who rode
miles on a bicycle to court her, had
failed to be elected President.
LAST CAMPAIGN
Depend on it, however, that Smith
is through with running for office.
Rested after his strenuous campaign
and the disappointment at hearing
Tuesday night that even his own
State had not endorsed his presiden-
tial candidacy, Smith told newspaper-
men that his name had appeared on a
New York State ballot for the last
time.
“I certainly do not expect to run
for public office again,” the governor
said. “I have had all I can stand of
it. I have given a quarter of a cen-
tury of my life to it. I will never
lose interest in public affairs, that is
a sure thing. But as far as running
for office again—that’s finished.”
NOT A WEALTHY MAN
Then it will be back to his beloved
New York City that the defeated
Democratic nominee will turn.
It will be a return to the “Side-
walks of New York.” His return
should be unheralded, at least that is
the way he desires it, for he will
go back to New York seeking a
job just as he once sought jobs down
on Oliver street, a searching that then
led him to the Fulton fish market and
thence to a trucking corporation.
The Goveinor is not a wealthy man.
His long service to the people has
precluded his amassing a fortune to
retire on. Therefore New York soon
is to see the former fish salesman,
ward assemblyman, sheriff, Governor
and presidential candidate theoretic-
ally doffing his derby hat in the out-
er office of some concern, asking that
he be employed.
PLENTY OF JOBS
Naturally, there are many places
op2n to Smith. One report said he
would become chairman of a new
$55,000,000 banking corporation of
which John J. Raskob, the Democrat-
ic National Chairman, will be inter-
ested. This was denied by some of
the backers of the new bank.
George Goetz, of Chicago, who once
hired Smith in a trucking corporation,
said:
; i Al wants a job, I'll give Al a
job.”
But the “happy warrior” continued
happy. Many of the weary creases
that had appeared in his jovial face
in the last days of the samp had
disappeared. His cigar was tilted at
a typically Smithian angle. His voice
radiated good humor.
And despite his defeat and the fact
he was passing from public office af-
ter twenty-five years, he seemed to re-
flect on the joke he thought of yes-
terday that only one man ever drew
a greater ‘popular vote for the Pres-
idency, and that was Herbert Hoover.
CONGRESS IS DRIER THAN EVER
The Congress, according to the lat-
est figures from the Congressional
districts, will be drier than at any
time since prohibition came. The
Hoover landslide carried with it the
dry candidates in most localities.
This appears to be the outcome of
the first election in which the wet
question was made a leading issue of
the campaign by a candidate of one
of the major parties.
With the election of Herbert Hoov-
er, who has committed himself to a
retention of the present system, and
the defeat of outstanding “wet lead-
ers” in both Houses of Congress, vir-
tually all hope of amending or re-
scinding either the eighteenth amend-
ment or the Volstead act appears to
have gone by the boards for at least
another four years.
With few exceptions there are no
family names in Egypt. Thousands
have exactly the same names, which
makes indentification a matter of
great difficulty for the authorities.
Charles W. Shannon, who operates
the switchboard in the telephone ex-
change in Lackawaxen, Pa., is 81
years old and totally blind.
Life is not so short but that there
is always time enough for courtesy.
—Emerson.
After all, the best thing one can do
when it is raining is to let it rain.
—Longfellow.
E——
RASKOB TO STICK
UNTIL DEBT IS PAID.
One of the pleasant aftermaths of
the campaign is the announcement.
that John J. Raskob, who managed
the Democratic national campaign, is
not going to let anyone else pay for:
his “dead horse.” He said, on Thurs-
ay:
“I do not think it would be fair to
the party for me to retire from the
chairmanship at the present june-
ture,” he said. “I was elected for
four years.”
Raskob’s business plans for the im-
mediate future remain undecided, he
said, but he will not resume his for-
mer office as finance chairman of the
General Motors Corporation.
The first task before him, Raskob-
said, will be to clear away the indebt-
ness incurred by the party during the
campaign. The national committee
has spent more than $2,000,000, he
said, in excess of receipts. The chair-
man hopes to erase this sum from the:
books in the next four years, so that.
the party may start preparations for
the 1932 campaign free from debt.
Raskob said he was at a complete
loss to account for the Republican:
landslide.
“Before I make up my mind about.
what caused it, I would like to see the
total popular vote,” he said. “When
the final figuers become available, we
will know a great deal better what
they indicate.”
