PICKARD JD =MOCRATE were jubilant over the results of elections held In various smites, seeing In them evidence that the split In the szolid South made last fall by the Republicans was not permanent ; that the people do not like the Republican tariff measure now pending; that the Democrats have a good chance to cut down the Repub- lican majority in both houses of con- gress next year and pave the way for a real fight in the next Presidential campaign; and, as Chairman Jouett Shouse of the Democratic national executive committee put it, “the coun- try, for the time being at least, is Democratic-minded.” Most interesting was the election in Virginia where the regular Demo- cratie ticket, led by Dr. John Garland Pollard for governor, was easily vic- torious over the coalition of Repub- licans and anti-Smith Democrats which was directed by Bishop Can- non, C. Bascom Slemp and Henry W. Anderson and which had William M. Brown for its gubernatorial ecandi- date. The political power of Bishop Cannon in the Old Dominion was com- pletely upset and the use of religions strife for partisan purposes was dis- credited, and observers generally ad- mitted that Virginia was restored to the list of safely Democratic states. Kentucky also gave the Democrats cause for rejoicing, for they retained a two-thirds majority of the lower house of the state assembly and a ma- jority of the senate. Last year Ken- tucky was carried by Hoover and the Republicans elected nine out of eleven congressmen, Mayor Jimmie Walker of New York city retained his office by virtue of a genuine landslide, his plurality over Fiorello H. La Guardia, Republican- Fusion candidate, being almost 500. 000. George U, Harvey, borough pres- ident of Queens, was the only Repub- lican to win in the metropolis. In a dozen other New York cities the Dem- ocrats elected mayors. Indians ‘voters apparently turned flatly against the Ku Klux klan, for throughout the state the candidates who had klan affiliations generally were defeated by Democrats, The wets also saw in the results evidence that the people were tired of the domination of the Anti-Saloon league. Reginald Sullivan, Democrat, won the Indianapolis mayoraity by a two to one vote, and in many other state cen ters, most of them former Republican strongholds, the Democrats were vie- torious. Detroit staged an exciting mayoralty contest between former Mayor John W. Smith, liberal, wet, and Catholic, and Charles Bowles, former judge and a Catholic. The klan, prohibition and religion all figured In the fight and the race was so close that the result was in doubt to the very last. Then it appeared Bowles had won by about 6.000 majority. SENATOR BINGHAM of Connecticut has received his punishment for charging that the subcommittee on lobbying was packed dgainst the ad- ministration, though ostensibly his offense was the employment of a lob byist to post him on tariff matters, by virtue of which employment sald lob. byist gained admission to executive meetings of the finance committee when it was working on the tariff bill. Bingham refused to apologize and so Senator Norris, chalrman of the judiciary committee, who had named the subcommittee on lobbying, introduced his resolution censuring Jingham for action that “is contravy to good morals and senatorial ethics and tends to bring the senate into dis- honor and disrepute.” Twenty-two Re- publicans voted against the resolution, but a like number lined up with thirty- two Democrats and the measure was adopted, 54 to 22. TET remarkably voluble Senator Brookhart of lowa, after giving fair warning, arose in the senate and told his story of the “Wall Street din- ner” given in Washington three years ago by Walter J, Fahy of New York and attended by a number of senators and financiers. It was a fairly amus- Ing old tale but far from exciting Brookhart sald that before entering the dining room each guest was of- fered a silver flask of liquor, and that he and Senators Smoot and Gooding declined. But he failed to name those senators who accepted the flasks, say- ing that the “boys” could answer for themselves. Beside Brookhart at the feast sat E. E. Loomis, a raliroad offi clal and connected with Morgan & Co., and on his other side was Otto Kahn. “During the course of the dinner, Mr. Loomis took his hip flask out of his pocket and he poured out some of that alcoholic stuff,” sald Senator Brookhart., “I have had enough experience In the chemical laboratory to know that it had a heavy content of alcohol. He poured that in the glass, and then he poured in some water—Iit was too strong to take raw—and he drank that A lot of similar operations went along down the table.” The lows senator was called before the grand jury In Washington last week and presumably told that body the same story of the Fahy dinner, though he may have given more vital details. In the course of his speech {in the senate he berated the adminis. tration for the fallure to enforce the dry law along the Canadian border and in the best clubs and hotels, He especially attacked Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and sald President Hoover should dismiss him from the cabinet, MRE than the expected success is attending the efforts of the Democratic-radical coalition in the senate In changing the tariff rate schedules. After having thelr way with a number of chemicals, the coalitionists showed their strength effectively when the first major in. dustrial schedule was reached, that fixing the duty on pig fron. By a wide majority they were successful in fixing this rate at 75 cents a ton, Just half that proposed by the admin. istration group and 87% cents less than the present duty. The vote was 48 to 30. Reed of Pennsylvania sald this vote could only serve to confirm his contention that the tariff bill was dead and that the house could never agree to the changes which the coalition was making, HIEF witness last week before the senate lobby committee was A. J. Arnold, Washington representative for the Southern Tariff association and the American Taxpayers’ league, The Inquiry revealed some of the methods employed to get tariff pro- tection for products of Southern states and to promote abolishment of the federal Inheritance tax. A long list of names of more or less prominent men and corporations from whom Arnold obtained contributions was made public, and Arnold sought to Justify his collections from them and all his other efforts. He gathered in about $225,000 in the past year but was a trifle hazy as to how this amount was expended. HARLES GATES DAWES, our am- bassador to Great Britain, on the eve of his return to his post in Lon. don spent a day or two In Washing- ton conferring with President Hoover and Secretary Stimson. He was given a detailed account of the conversa. tions between the President and Prime Minister MacDonald and discussed various phases of the naval reduction situation. Ambassadors Dawes and Guggenheim were the guests of Mr. and Mrs, Hoover at a dinner, as were the members of the senste foreign relations committee, and there was something of a sensation when It was learned that Senator Hiram Johnson of California, a member of that com mittee, was not invited. The news. papers made a lot of the Incident, but Mr. Hoover promptly wrote the sena. tor explaining that his omission from the list of guests was wholly accidental and had caused the Fresident great distress, RIME MINISTER MACDONALD reported to the house of commons on his visit to the United States and thanked the American officials and people for their cordial welcome and the honor paid him. He gave little in- in Washington but in the course of his speech admitted the matter of Great Britain's fortified bases off the American coast had been discussed, domestic affairs, especially the plans for settlement of labor troubles, course is not to be so smooth. The to India, or rather how soon should to bitter debate, of parliament was to approve the re- sumption of relations with Soviet Russia.

To override the reichstag’s veto will require 20,000,000 supporters, or half the total eligible electorgte, and so the scheme is evi dently doomed to defeat, ONFLICTING C made uncertain the situation in the civil war In China, but there evi- dentiy had been some bloody fighting between the rebel “people's” forces and the Nationalist government troops.

The motorist can take advantage of the pleasant fall weather to check over his car or have his service sta- tion do so In order that it will be In proper condition to withstand the rigors of winter driving. The following recommendations on putting the car in shape for winter are gleaned from an engineering bul. letin : Clean Chassis First. The first step In the procedure Is to clean the chassis, engine and body, as dirt can hide many defects. Tighten ull bolts and nuts. Check front wheels for proper align. ment; remove caps and re-grease; adjust wheel bearings and replace hub caps. Check steering gear for proper ad. Justment, Drain the old oll from the trans both about a quart of kerosene, Al the same time put in the radiator a few handfuls of sal soda and then drive the car two or three miles. The kerosene should then be drained from the transmission and differential and water drained from the radiator. A winter grade lubricant recommended by the car manufacturer should then be put in the transmission and dif ferential, Inspect the rubber hose connections, replacing if necessary, the radiator should be clean water: and at the first ance of cold weather an anti-freeze solution should be added Next, drain oll from the flush crankcase and put In a grade oll. If the oil filter has been In use for 10,000 miles install a new cartridge. Examine Wiring. Inspect wiring and clean contacts: oil generator and starting motor and clean the armatures and brushes: set generator charging rate ahead for winter driving; check breaker points for proper spacing: replace spark plugs if used more than 10,000 miles: if used less than this, clean them: gaps; clean battery with ammonia water solution; tighten ter minals and grease with vaseline: In. spect water level and if gravity read. ing Is low, recharge. Oil and grease all which with Appear after filled engine ; winter parts that re. Adjust brakes and reline If nec essary. The motorist should also examine the top of his car and will do much to preserve it if he will spend a few minutes In going over the top with a good grade of top dressing. Many car manufacturers are now with a summer and winter driving adjustment on the carburetors and the proper adjust. ment to the carburetor should be made ant this time. The fuel and carburetor strainers should also be taken out and cleaned. With these simple but highly essen tial adjustments, a winter of carefree driving should be enjoyed.

Newspapers of a century ago were filled with stories of traflic mishaps and careless drivers of stages. “Back in the days when great-great. grandfathers rode, the authorities took serious counsel of such things as speedsters, road hogs, Joy riders, drunken drivers—and of how ‘females’ were enticed from their homes by the lure of the stage coach, and how pedestrians on the sidewalks were too frequently injured by recklessly driv. en wheelbarrows,” declares a recent Issue of the American Motorist. Clamp Very Serviceable in Removing Car Dents An ordinary iron Clamp proves serviceable in many cases in remove ing dents from automobile fenders. To prevent damage to the finish, a wooden block of suitable size is placed under the mud guard and another on top of it at the point where the dent is located. These blocks should be of smooth, hard wood. The clamp is screwed tight as possible with the fin. gers. Then the clamp Is rocked back and forth. The pressure and the mo tion slightly flattens the dent and the screw of the clamp can again be tight. ened. The operation is repeated until the dent Is completely flattened out.
