WILLEBRANDT
SPEECH STILL
IN SPOTUGHT
Echoes Heard in All
Parts of Country;
Criticism Comes
From All Sides
SAN FRANCISCO Sept. Sept. 29.
•—(JP)—A California woman has for
the moment projected herself into
front trenches of this presidential
battle to swap shots with the enemy
l and to assume first prominence with
Herbert Hoover and Alfred E.
Smith.
She is Mrs. Mabel Walker Wille-
brsndt assistant attorney general
and vigorous advocate of Hoover
who has so boldly charged into the
ft * thick of the fighting that she stands
r ' now a target for random fire from
I both sides.
ft With Governor Smith stumping
* •' back and forth across the farmer
I midwest and Hoover going about po-
litical chores *t Washington Mrs.
Willebrandt waged a sinjje handed
campaign in Ohio and she said
* something quickly heard all over
t the country. She implored a conven-
tion of Methodist Egiscopal pastors
and laymen to combat Smith as an
enemy of prohibition and before the
i church folk adopted a resolution
condemning Smith and praising Hoo-
ver an echo arose that still is bat-
» tling against sensitive eardrums.
A lot of republicans and democrats
thought and said that it wasn't the
/ proper thing for Mrs. Willebrandt
* to do. and Governor Smith in his
Oklahoma speech assailed her for
her Ohio speech and declared that
the only inference that could be
drawn was that the administration
approved such tactics. Mr. Hoover
has made no reference to it.
Mrs. Willebrandt’s activities in
Ohio stands out in silhouette against
a background of a busy wee^ for ail
pirticir^rts a period that hscvd
much debata as to whether Hoover
or his running mate Senator Curtis
do or did drink whiskey; a contin-
) uation of the fight on Smith from
K both camps; an endorsement of the
h governor from foreign but not unex-
pected sources and a contrast of
rood and bad reports from debated
areas.
*r Mrs. Willebrandt maintained that
*° she sought the aid of the preachers
jo against Smith solely because of pro-
do hijiition and that religion had noth-
te ing to do with it.
Closing two weeks of dynamic
_ campaigning Smith now returns to
New York after a series of speeches
in which he charged the republicans
with lack of leadership as he set
jo! forth his own and his party’s pledges
ho as to farm relief water power iro-
nic migration and waterways develop-
^ V.- ment along with considerable dis-
. cussion of prohibition.
In support of his hopes. Smith has
been told by the republican Non-
* Partisan League Governor Maddock
h of North Dakota now up for re-olec-
o* tion as a democrat that 80 per cent
* of his state's farmers are for Smith.
He has learned also that another
North Dakotan Senator Frasier has
r reported to Mr. Hoover that all is
not well for the republicans in his
sta$e and that unrest ia general
» throughout the region
s The long-debating Senator Blaine
t of Wisconsin added something to
« preparations for Smith’s Milwaukee
j reception tonight by announcing
that he could not vote for Hoover
because they did not think alike.
Another republican independent
of the Northwest. Senator Norris of
Nebraska has taken a definite
stand by twice declaring that Smith’s
western speeches on farm relief
seemed to him to constitute all that
could be desired by friends of the
MeNary-Haugen plan and that his
discussion of waterpower was emi-
nently satisfactory. The Wisconsin
republican who demanded that Mrs.
Willebrandt be kept at home also
informed Chicago headquarters that
any impartial observer would now
give Wisconsin to Smith.
I Republican leaders are aware of
the disturbed condition of their
usual strongholds but they continue
to express confidence that every-
thing will be all right on election
day.
Some of Smith's questions have
been answered by associates of Mr.
Hoover but the republican candidate
himself has maintained his custo-
mary silence. Smith's latest de-
mand for a republican reply con-
cerns the Teapot Dome oil scandal
and he told bis audience at Helena
Mont. that he would not be satis-
fied with an answer from any other
than Mr. Hoover and that he be-
lieved the American public would
not.
To date Mr. Hoover has not devi-
ated from his accustomed course of
speaking only for his party and his
own candidacy. When Senator
Bruce of Maryland publicly recited
reports that Hoover is a drink’Cg
man Mr. Hoover left the matter of
a reply to a secretary who denied
that the nominee had taken a d»’nk
since he became a government of
ficer. Much the same charges were
made against Senator Curtis end
the rice presidential candidate
promptly called the whole business
a falsehood. Democratic headquar-
ters got into the Hoover-Bruce epi-
sode when Chairman Raskob of the
national committee voiced his
knowledge that Mr. Hoover does not
serve liquor in his home and added
that he admired him for it.
Since his Newark speech Hoover
has worked on the one to be de-
I livered at Elizabethton awaiting its
completion before telling a group
of first voters from Virginia at his
office that the republican party has
always been one of progress and
action. More speaking is in pros-
pect for Hoover however and it
appears that he is anxious to begir
earlier than planned on the west-
ward and final drive late in Oc-
tober.
In the meantime. Curtis carrying
the brunt of the republican cam- i
paign. has acquired a sore throat
and a substitute for future outdoor
speaking engagements. The proxy
is Representative Purnell of Iowa.
Senator Robinson democratic rice
presidential candidate now is trek-
-ng westward sharing to some ex-
tent th* itinerary of Crrtis. who fr
turn is cutting across the recent
trail of Governor Smith.
With all the change from old time
to modern campaign method! »ome
of the candidates are finding out
that the heckler counterpart of ev-
ery former political drive still is
with them although occasionally he
or she is ejected by police. Partic-
ularly hare Senators Curtis and
Robinson had to deal with objectors
ia their audiences.

OFFICER SHOT

guns rifles pistols and clubs and
the chase was started. They went
to the home of Olivo but he was
not there. A search in the neigh-
borhood revealed the man in the
house of a neighbor hiding under
the bed.
Repeated calls to come out failed
to bring ary response from the
man who clung to his position underi
the bed. The posse continued to
mill around watching all doors and
windows until D. H. Ferguson hor-
} der patrol officer and R. M. Wal-
j lis special investigator for the Mis-
souri Pacific arrived on the scene
accompanied by F. W. Anglin.
Break Into House
Ferguson and Wallis broke open
the door entered the room where
the man was and covered him com-
manding him to come out. St:ll the
man refused to budge. Then W’allis
1 took the mattress and springs off
the hed. while Ferguson held his
gun on the man and the two drag-
i yed him out and searched him.
Tfccv could not find the pistol.
Olivo was taken to the Valley
Baptist hospital where Wilhelm
; was fighting a battle for life and
! was confronted by the wounded of-
i fieer. Wilhelm identified Olivo a
I the man who shot him. and said
! “Jesus where is my gun V
Olivo then was taken to the city
jail and locked up.
A search throughout the entire
section of Harlingen where Olivo
lived was instituted later in the
day in an effort to find the pistol
with which the shooting was done
but officers had not reported find-
ing the gun late Saturday. They
did find however a liquor cache in
one house.
Crowds were milling around the
' jail at Harlingen during most of
! the morning and age in in the after-
noon. and a large crowd was around
j the jail when the prisoner was taken
out by the two Harlingen officers
to hrir.g to Brownsville.
Wilhelm is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Wilhelm who live on
a farm rear here. He has been a
deputy constable only th’-ee months.

CARNES TO GET

he can be delivered to Atlanta of-
ficers on American «oil.
It was pointed out that such is
the usual procedure in cases where
extradition is waived. Local offi-
cials however. sought to guard
against ary change of Carnes’ an-
nounced intention not to resist his
removal here by having the extradi-
tion papers in readiness.
Meanwhile Carnes is being held in
Winnipeg on two bench warrants
issued after the return of two in-
dictments against him charging em-
beszlement of a total of $150000.
Other indictments are expected
county officials said as soon as
auditors still at work on the treas-
urer’s books can present additional
evidence to the grand jury.
Carnes’ disappearance from his
home here Aug. 15 was followed by
an emergency meeting of the board
from which came the "announcement
that his alleged speculations would
amount to approximately $1000000
and that as a consequence the mis-
sion board had been left in serious
financial straits.
Old Offender
A short time before its meeting
the mission board had been inform-
ed that Carnes* had served two
prison terms for using the mails to
defaud several years before he be-
came treasurer of the board.
His flight resulted in a general
reorganization of the board and a
South-wide appeal for voluntary
contributions by church members to
make up the purported shortage.
Board officials generally express-
ed satisfaction over Carnes’ appre-
hension. a statement today by ")r. A.
J. Barton office secretary saying:
“It is a matter of great satisfac-
tion to the home mission board that
C. S. Carnes has been apprehended
and will be brought to a speedy
trial.
“The heme board Is made up of
Christian men and women who would
not be moved by a spirit of vindict-
iveness. They would take no plea-
sure in the sufferings of any indi-
vidual though he msy suffer as the
result of and as a just retribution
for. his own misdeeds.
“However. Christian men are not
possessed of a maudlin sentiment
and they believe in the enforce-
ment of the law and in the infec-
tion of proper and just penalties
upon all law breakers. It is there-
fore a matter of satisfaction to
the board as it will be to all good
citisens everywhere that this culprit
will be brought to justice.”

In Cotton Raising
11
An average of approximately ten millions of
dollars a year during the past five years has
been paid Valley Planters for Cottoij.
On the face of these figures we believe we
are safe in stating that there is “Money in
Cotton Raising.” And this year the average
will no doubt be kept up thus insuring the
cotton grower of a good financial return on
his crop.
In 1929 wTe expect to see more land in cotton
than ever before. For this reason we advise
that proper care of the land be started now
in order that full benefit may be derived
from the crops planted.
Clean off all standing cotton stalks and weeds
by either plowing under or burning. This is
the first important step toward a bumper cot-
ton crop. Insect pests which thrive on stand-
ing stalks will be eradicated and the mois-
ture used by these old last-season stalks and
weeds will be conserved to give strength to
the young plants. Don’t put off the matter
of early preparation of your ground.
