The Concord Daily Tribune -TRIBUNE’S BIG FEATURE STARTS SUCCESSFULLY Second Week Starts With Today’s Is sue-Many Eager to Win Cash Prizes. The intentionally misspelled word last week was “Exigancy” between the words “the” and "of' in the Siarnes-Miller-Par ker Jewelry Co., which has eight letters and when spelled correctly is "exigency.” Today we present to our readers the second installment of our Misspelled Word land Slogan Feature. To say the least. Jif is to be a great success, judging from the large number of nnswers received at this office. Answers to last week’s mis spelled words, and the suggestive s’ogans have come from many. Such a cam paign of ad. reading we have never seen, and we want to say we snrely have a great many good spellers, and some very clever slogan or motto writers. We said it would afford a lot of excellent pas time, and splendid educational amuse ment and this is true. Notwithstanding, the fact that answers cim be sent in the next day after the contest appears, yet people are taking several days in going over the ads. so as to see that no mis take is being made. We venture a little suggestion right here. Do not fill out the answer blank until every member of the family has gone over the pages for the intentionally misspelled word. You have six full days to do this; so take your time. If you happen to drop on to tile word before you have gone through each ad., whatever you do, do not stop until you have gone right through, as you are very apt to be wrong—a little more time and you will be sure. See. Don't forget there is only one inten tionally misspelled \vfrd in the ad. and they are different each week and don'f forget you must write an original five word slogan or motto for any merchant. Five words—not six or four. Five —no more and no less. If you should happen to miss several of the words do not get cold feet, but forge right ahead, as tlieri) are a number of cash rewards to be nui 1 ’? at the close. Read the rules. We ire keeping a record of ail answers, whether right or wrong! Listed among the con testants will be lawyers, bankers, teach ers, preachers, farmers, business men. clerks, jiarents, grammar and high school pupils, railroaders, millinen, and in fact, people in all walks of life. j. This week we have made the word a trifle harder, to locate and spell. But if yon are careful and read with patience, you are bound to come out on top". And. don't forget, with the new word today you have a new five-word slogan or mot to to think out. The way to get the slo gan, is first to ascertain who the mer chant is. what he sells and then proceed to write him your original slogan. Till!

PROGRESSIVE BLOC HOUSE lITS There is No Reason to Be lieve the Deadlock Will Be Broken by Bloc Members Who Are Making Fight. NO SPEAKER HAS BEEN SELECTED And None Can Be Selected While Deadlock Continues Regular Republicans Will Not Deal With “Groups.’’ (By the AMftoclitted Press.) Washington. Dec. 4.—A flight to a • finioh was threatened by a score of Re publican insurgents in the House who yesterday prevented organization of the Sixty-Eighth Congress at the opening session when the House met for the sec ond session today. Having blocked the re-election of Speaker Gillett on four ballots the progressive block after a con ference last night announced formally that it would renew its battle with con vening of the public session at noon to day and wage it indefinitely unless Re -1 publican leaders gave assurance that the House would have full opportunity to . vote on the amendment to its rules. With Representative Long worth, of Ohio, the Republican lender, showing no disposition to yield, members of the House were prepared for another day of futile ballots. Leaders of the Republi can factions and of the Democrats, who ; yesterday voted as a unit for Represen- I tative Garrett, of Tennessee, for speaker, again were marshalling their forces for the conflict. Meantime the Senate was ready to pro ceed to business, but unable to do so be cause of the deadlock in the House, which had added effect of possible indefinite postponement of delivery to Congress of President Coolidge’s first annual message. The President had planned to address Congress in person tomorrow. Representative Woodruff, of Michigan, secretary of the progressive bloc which yesterday voted for Madden, of Illinois, for speaker, on every ballot, told his col leagues at last night's conference he had made unsuccessful effort to negotiate with Mr. Longwopth. He declared that after the House had taken, four ballots he bad attempted to outline to the ma jority leader the position of the insur gents the rules question and had received no indication that Mr. Long worth was disposed to deal with the progressive bloc. Mr. Longworth stated last night that organization leaders were prepared to deal with all members of the party individually but would not conduct ne gotiations with an organized group. The insurgent bloc in the House mil itantly carried forward its campaign of opposition as the House swung into ac tion. Balloting in the speakership dead lock continued much the same as dur ing the four fruitless ballots taken yes terday. There were many rumors of a compromise, but the insurgent leaders met all injuires by a declaration thaty they were as far from surrender as ever. Coincident with resumption of ballot ing the statement was made at the White House that President Coolidge expects, on the basis of advices reaching him, that the House organization will be com pleVd during the day. » No details as to the reasons behind the President’s ex pectations were given. With no break in sight, Republican leaders decided to move for adjournment of the House after the eighth ballot if no election was made by that time, and to resume balloting tomorrow. The seventh ballot: Garret, 198; Gil lett 196 : Cooper, 17 ; Madden 5. Gar rett lacked 11 votes of a majority. , MAN WHO LArGHED AT THREAT FOUND MURDERED Dominik Maggio. His Wife and Three Children.
