But when the lass Shut off the gas The gob said sternly balking, "Now, never mind, I’m not that kind, I’ll go back first by walking.” HOPE SPRINGS eternal in the human breast.

George Norris, Many Prominent Progressive Re publicans Bolt Voters Show Independence Of Party Loyalty Cry; Vote On Principles One of the most unusual deve lopments of the Presidential cam paign to date has been the *wing of liberal and progressive Republi cans behind the Roosevelt banner. It is doubtful if there has ever been a campaign in which such lit tle regard has been shown for party lines and such a kicking over of party traces. In 1896 a number of prominent "Gold Bug” Democrats bolted Bryan and supported Pal mer. In 1912 scores of outstand ing progressive Republicans bolted Taft and rallied behind Teddy Roosevelt. In these two campaigns there was a challenge to party regularity but it will be noted in each case it was a bolt within the party. When Alfred E. Smith was nominated in 1928, Democrats of a lifetime bolted their party’s can didate and did the unprecedented thing of voting a Republican tick et. In the 1928 campaign, how ever, the party leaders remained regular. There were only two out standing national figures who openly supported Hoover.

Non-vulncrable doubled under tricks will cost about ten per cent more and all categories of vulner able undertricks about ten per cent less. The old method of scor ing undoubled not vulnerable un dertricks is retained. Five Major Changes There are five major changes in scoring and many changes in pen alties for infringement of the rul^s under the code, promulgated by the Whist Club of New York, the Portland Club of London, and the Commission Francaise Du Bridge. Nomenclature There are changes in nomen clature. One or two examples will serve both for nomenclature and definition. Definitions 5— To Deal—To distribute the cards in rotation to the players. A deal extends from the cut to the moment when the last card has been duly placed on the table. 6— The Auction—The period during which it is open to the players to bid in rotation for the contract. 7— The Play—The period which begins when the auction closes and ends when the number of tricks won by each side has been deter mined. 9—Call—AT comprehensive term applicable to a bid, a double, a re double or a pass. ■11—Bid—A call by which a player offers to contract that his side will win at least as many odd tricks (one to seven) as his bid specifies, provided the hand is play ed in the denomination he names. 1 5—Contract—The highest bid made in the auction, whether un doubled, doubled or redoubled. 18—Trick—Four cards, one from each hand, one being led and the other three played in one round of play. scoring There are five major changes in scoring. They were all made pur suant to the advice of Harold S. Vanderbilt, who is the recognized father of contract scoring. 1— No trump values have been reduced to 30 for the first, third, fifth and seventh odd tricks and increased to 40 for the ^econd, fourth and sixth odd triCKS. 2— The premium for fulfilled doubled contracts has been omitted. 3— The premium for undoubled overtricks has been reduced to the equivalent odd trick value. 4— The doubled not vulnerable undertrick penalties have been in creased somewhat, and certain of the vulnerable penalties decreased somewhat to obtain a perfect bal ance between them and to secure a uniform increase in the penalty for each additional undertrick lost. 5— The premiums for Grand Slams have been increased to 1, 500 not vulnerable, 2,250 vulner able.

The Literary Digest and the Hearst newspapers have staged nation-wide polls, which give somewhat differ ent results. The Carolina Watchman bases its prediction on both of these polls, plus analyses of these and other polls, the observation of political writers who have visited the so-called "doubtful” states and the Associated Press and United Press reports of the general political activities of the two major parties in the several states. In the states given above in the three forecasts in which President Hoover is lead ing, we herewith state our reasons for the Watchman’s forecast, which are as follows: we disagree with the Hearst poll and favor the Literary Digest because both polls show an increase of the Roosevelt -vote. The Hearst poll has been slipping recently in Colorado in respect to the Hoover vote. In 1928, The Literary Digest under estimated Smith’s vote by 5.5 0 per cent. Although the Denver Post is for Hoover, the Digest vote in Denver stands as follows: Hoover, 4,25 8; Roosevelt, 5,471. Practical ly all Colorado towns reported by the Digest give Roosevelt majori ties.
