While Republican cam paign managers cannot afford to ad mit publicly the lots of these States, those high up in the councils of the party have lost no time in apprizing Hoover of the real situation. Western farmers have risen in furl- revolt, against the grain gambling special privi- senator w. Nor He Governor Walter Maddoek clique head ed by H e r be r t Hoover. They re sent bitterly the fact that the Re publican nomina- tlou was given, de spite their vehe ment protests at City, to “a whose whole record stamps him a relentless enemy of Agriculture.” One of the most staggering blows to the Republican eause was the unqualified endorse- aunt of Governor Smith on farm re lief and water power by Senator Geo. iW. Norris, Republican Progressive ! leader in Nebraska, who denounced Hoover’s attitude on both Issues. Senator Norris, a staunch prohibi tionist and Methodist, has been for a quarter of a cen tury in Congress, a t fading advocate of farm relief meas ures. He not only enjoys the com plete confidence of the farming re gions, but is the foremost Republi can authority on both farm relief and water power. Ridiculing Hoov er’s farm program as “meaningless.” wad asserting that the Republican can- YdBdato’s record linked him clearly with -MM* power trust, Senator Norris pre- {Meted that Governor Smith’s stand on jtliese Issues would win him tremen- dons support in the West “Governor •fplth’s Omaha speech,” he said, “is Senator ' n T. Blaine MONEY TO LOAN 1 .onna mode same day application received. No Red Tape HARLEY * BLATT. 4*3 wholly satisfactory to anyone who be lieves in the McNary-Haugen bill.” The blow which leaves the Repub licans without hope in Wisconsin is the repudiation of Hoover by Senator John T. Blaine, former Republican Governor of that State, who succeeded to the leadership of the dominant Pro gressives upon the death of the Se nior Senator Robert LaFollette. Senator Blaine, who seteral weeks ago advised his followers to “end cor ruption by voting for Governor Smith,” has just Is sued a new state ment In which he says: “Mr. Hoover Is opposed to prsctl- cslly all of the pol icies of the great mass of Progres- s i v s Republicans and Independent forward - thinking people of America. No one’s Republic anism can be questVmed if he falls to vote for Hoover. I will not sup port him nor vote for him.” Leading the stampede to Governor Smith in North Dakota is Governor Walter Maddoek, who was elected on the Republican ticket and was the leader of the North Dakota delegation to the Republican convention at Kan sas City. Not only has he given Smith his unqualified endorsement, but he is running for re-election on the same ticket with the Governor. “The farmers are for Governor Smith,’’ Governor Maddoek explains, “and I represent the farmers." Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Mon tana, who as candidate for Vice Presi dent, led the Progressive ticket with ’ LaFollette in 1924, is also campaign- ! lag actively for Governor Smith. Sens tor K/ Whoelsr What Borah Told the Senate About Hoover Panic stricken over the Imminent loss of all the States which have had the opportunity to see and hear Gov ernor Smith, the Republican National Committee has cancelled Senator Borah's scheduled Eastern speeches so that he can devote his whole time In a desperate effort to stem the Smith tide In the West. Since the campaign speeches of this high-powered Republican spell- gTvlhg Mr Hoover as much authority as possible. But If what Senator Borah told the Senate is true, how can he ask thinking voters to place Mr. Hoo ver in a position to control, directly or indirectly, all the vast resources of the United States Government?

P. Committee Backs Mrs. Wills- brandt’s Appeals to Religious Hatred, Despite the indignant protests of numerous Republican newspapers throughout the country, the Republi can National Committee has officially sanctioned the campaign of bigotry and vinification being waged by Mrs. Mabel Walker WUlebrandt, Assistant Attorney General. Although several United States Sen ators have demanded her removal from office, and the Republican press, fearing an “American reaction” to her un-American appeal to religious in tolerance, continues to insist that the be “muixled,” Herbert Hoover indi cates by his silence that he approves the action of his campaign managers ADMIRAL COONT2, METHODIST AND MASON, TO AID SMITH HANNIBAL, Mo.—Admiral Robert ML Coontz, retired, former Commander !m Chief of the United States fleet, has returned to his home here after a summer in Europe, to work actively as a apeaker in his district in behalf of Governor Smith.

Those who hear him, however, might be inter ested in the Senator’s real estimate of Herbert Hoover, as gleaned from his own utterances in the Senate.

Washington.—The Indian popula tion of Chaco canyon, N. M., .a thou sand years or more ago, built wide “roads” extending many miles across the mesas and cut broad stone stair- | ways out of the solid rock of the can yon wall. Why? That is one of sev- ’ eral questions which prompted the National Geographic society’s expedi- • tion to ancient Pueblo Bonito, under ||the direction of Nell M. Judd, arche- j; ologist of the Smithsonian institution. Pueblo Bonito, one of the greatest i apartment-house cities of prehistoric | America, lies ruined on the floor of 'Chaco canyon, 70 miles north of Gal- ! lup, N. M. The aboriginal inhabitants wrung their livelihood from the silty isoil of the canyon bottom and could i not have farmed the wind-blown ! mesas above. Yet they hewed dozens of stairways in the terraced ledges of the sandstone cliffs which extend 1 back from the canyon rim and then t built roadways north and south across the mesa. Some of the “roads” are said by the Navajo to extend 40 miles up hill and down. And there innu merable step series were carved with stone hammers, for the Bonitians were people of the Stone age. They had no metal tools; no beasts of burden. Stairways Are Wide. The stairways are from five to ten feet wide and some of them have a 10-inch tread. The roads, if that is | what they Gpre, vary in width from fifteen to twenty feet and are usually | lined with boulders which were rolled to one side in the clearing process. | On sloping ground the lower side of the road was built up and where the mesa changes levels abruptly steps were cut in the rock. • On upper, retreating ledges, built against the foot of the red sandstone cliffs, the expedition found terraces ten to fifteen feet high, braced with massive masonry walls. One of these, varying in width from ten to thirty {feet, is traceable for more than s mile. 'With the man power available to the pueblo, the building of this single terrace must have been a her culean task. But, with a definite ob jective in view, the Bonitians seem never to have considered the human labor Involved. Why the esnyoo dwellers built these things Is not yet absolutely gear. In tracing the roads as far an Ee iTar'able, £ tost* quite - IncidentaT to the major explorations of the so ciety, Mr. Judd found that they all seemed to lead back into the rincons, where pine trees formerly grew. In building their pueblo the Bonitians used thousands of pine logs, and It may be that they constructed the roadways and the stairs as a means of ^facilitating the transportation of such logs. Of the 200 fragmentary beams excavated from Pueblo Bonito by Die National Geographic sodety*8i expedition in the last seven years, not one bears any evidence of scarring, a fact which indicates that the tim bers were carried instead of being : slid down the cltffa. Seek New Light. While this may explain the stain* 'and the “roadways,” it is not so help ful in explaining the terraces. For mer investigation throws new light on them. > In addition to the investigation of these problems, Mr. Judd unearthed further evidence that Chaco canyon was the center of a larger and more ancient prehistoric population than had been thought He discovered sev eral sites of half-sunken villages of the Post Basket Makers, peoples who came centuries before the builders at Pueblo Bonito. He expects that In vestigation of these cites wilt reveal other house groups as extensive as the nne excavated this last summer by the Smithsonian Institution and which was first discovered by the National Geographic society’s expedi tion in 1926.

CIROSS-1FILOW IRAMDIIATOIR The crossbow radiators in the cooling systems of the Pontiac Six and the Oakland All-American Six reduce to a minimum the evaporation of water and alcohoL An automatic thermostat prevents water circulation until the engine reaches correct operating temperature. As a consequence the engine warms up quickly and less chokinirlB needed, reducing dilution of crankcase oil. Be cause of the protection the cross-flow radiator pro vides against losses of water and alcohol, the Pon». tiac Six and the All-American Six require less attention in winter than other cart. Also, through their thermostatic control, they reveal far better performance than other cars in their fields when the temperature is low • •. The cross-flow radiator is available only on the Pontiac Six and the AH* American Six. Come in and see it.
