Today Polities. Polities. Politics. The Judge's Cocktail. Skinuitfg the Monkey. Another Pool's IT arning. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Politics is troublesome, each •'leading candidate” is disturbed and threatened by other leading candidates. McAdoo has most votes. A1 Smith's friends say they have enough to prevent MeAdoo’s nomi nation and that they will do. McAdoo says that if they do, he will throw his votes to Glass, that southern dark horse. Ralston emerges from the shadow of dignity to say that ho is no enes:^; of the rich, would not oppress wealth. On the other hand, he is the loving friend of the poor man. Poverty may trust him, wealth may not fear him. What can you ask more than that? • ---- A1 Smith, Tammany Hall candi date, and at. present actual leader of Tammany Hall, is disturbed by rows and riots inside of that ancient organization. District Leader Curry, hack of A1 Smith, says nobody must be made leader of Tammany that could he eligible to the Ku Klux Klan. Another district leader says Leader Curry seeks to stir up the “religious question.” F. D. Roosevelt. A1 Smith's man ager, impolitely described by his cousin, Theodore Roosevelt, the 2d, as a “maverick" Roosevelt, lacking the family brand, brings news that the west is “rapidly returning to A1 Smith as a real leader.” That will interest many democrats in the west. Meanwhile Coolidge has his nomi nation killed, dressed and hung up in cold storage. His only trouble is the selection of a vice president. W. J. Bryan peeps from the beau tiful pines, flowers and cocoanut t l-ees in Florida to remark that “Coolidge would like to take a radi cal vice president, because that Would get him votes.” But Coolidse is mortal, and “Wall street,” according to Mr. Bryan, won’t run the risk of letting Coolidge nominate any radical vice president for fear he might become a real president. Rebecca West, an intelligent young English writer, back in Lon t don, teJis of a judge in the middle west “who danced the tango with passion rarely exhibited in public places. And afterward gave me a wonderful cocktail madp of a brand of white fire out of a silver flask the eize of the Ascot cup.” At his invitation she sat on the bench with hint next day and saw him fine a colored lady, 75 years old, $50 for carrying a pint bottle of moonshine whisky. She presents that as a sample of our “respect for law.” Jt surprises Miss West to know 1liat Chicago, “one-third the size of London, has 200 murders a year.” Everywhere in the United States thee are too many murders. Ch*-! cago is busy with the murder of i kidnaped boy. New York unravels f the mystery of a woman murdered in a Ford sedan on Staten island. Boston investigates the murder of •' Louise Gerrish, ,a 19-year-old school teacher. “I ellow Charleston,” mulafto, contributes his item by murdering 1wo negroes, one “Baron” Wilkins. He gives himself up, “fearing to be torn to pieces by negro friends of Wilkins.” Too many murders, too much bootleg whisky, too much contempt for law trouble this country. It would horrify you to relfd about a female gorilla capturing a young girl, skinning her. to use the skin as sandals. That never hap pened. But European ladies are having sandals made of the “soft and pliable skins of monkeys, guaranteed not to “squeak.” In a gorilla that would shock us. It’s all light for a lady. Another warning to fools. Samuel Brown had read about some “other cases,” but that didn’t frighten him. He is dead now with a bullet in his stomach. The police found )»ini in a hotel with a young woman who called herself “Mrs.” Brown. The real Mrs. Brown had been told her husband was awav collecting ^ bills. He was collecting trouble. The young lady accused calmly smoked her cigaret, and Niid to the police fix him up. ’ The widow says “he got what he deserved.” Jt s an old story, often repeated, and1 it wi,! not be a warning to other foools. Several women, delegates and al ternates to the democratic conven Hon. wifi he addressed as “Honor able Miss or Mrs. So and So. That’s progress. Not long ago the average man doubted whether a woman really had a soul. Whether or not Mohammed kept them out of Parn diqf. (Ccpyrtsht. 1954 1 Oshkosh to Build School. Oshkosh, Neb..
