Hughes, DePere, Demo cratic candidate for congress from ihe eight district, attacked Con gressman George J. Schneider for his failure to take stand In the present campaign, before a crowd of about 100 at a rally at Eagle's hall last night Mr. Hughes said the voters of the district were entitled to know what type of leadership Mr. Schneider would recognize.

He said four years ago. when Alfred E. Smith, the wet, liberal progressive, was an opponent of Herbert Hoover, the dry, reactionary stalwart, Mr. Schneider, failed to say which man he supported. This year when Roosevelt, the wet, liberal supporter, Is opposing Mr.

Hoover, Mr. Schneider again fails to take a stand. This failure, he said, comes despite the fact that other progressives have staunchly declared for Roosevelt The speaker was introduced by Stephen D. Balliet, chairman of the county committee. All of the Democratic candidates for county offices were introduced.

These included: John Adrians, for county treasurer; Peter N. Diny, for clerk of courts; John Burke, for register of deeds; John E. O'Connor, candidate for the state senate; Robert M. Connelly, candidate for surveyor; and Harry F. McAndrews, candidate for district attorney.

Mr. McAndrews gave a short address in which he discussed his Qualifications for office. Following Mr. McAndrews address, Mr. Hughes spoke.

He discussed the qualifications of Mr. Roosevelt for office, tracing his political career and pointing to his successful administrations as governor of the largest state in the union. He declared that if ever a man was fitted for the presidency it was Mr. Roosevelt. He discussed briefly various phases of the Democratic platform, dwelling especially, on prohibition.

Charges Straddling "The Democratic party is truthful on this matter," he said. "If you are anxious for a change in present conditions, do not vote for the Republican candidate for president He is straddling that issue even as his platform attempts to sidetrack the matter, hoping to win the votes of both the wets and the drys." The fact that President Wilson vetoed the prohibition law, and called attention to the impossibility of having the government regulate the morals of the people was pointed out by Mr. Hughes. Efforts to instill fear in the hearts tof the people in an efort to turn the tide of a Democratic landslide was severely attacked by Mr. Hughes, who declared that leading economists of the country have stated that there is no possibility of conditions becoming worse if Roosevelt is elected than if Hoover is reelected.

Mr. Hughes quoted Roger W. Babson, Republican, he said, to the effect that if Roosevelt is elected good bonds would continue to go higher. "And wouldn't it be terrible if something went high these days?" he asked. The false promises of prosperity and good times held out by Mr.

Hoover and the Republican party in the campaign four years ago were recalled by Mr. Hughes. "The chicken in every pot and the car in every garage has now been changed to a breadline in every town," he said. "Hoover promised to abolish soup kitchens and relief stations. He said prosperity was here to stay.

Everyone would be prosperous. He took the credit for the prosperity and now he must answer for what has happened."

M6fi) Hei "-12g BY RODNEY DUTCHER Washington The capital city of Washington has gone through one of the most extraordinary experiences that can come to an American community, had, for nearly a whole year, an honest able, chief of police a man divorced from politics, who didn't owe his job to politics and who refused to.

bow to politicians. But that's all over now. "Happy" uiassiord has quit his lob and the Washington police department goes back into the bands of the politicians. Glassford leaves his office with en international reputation which he gained in his handling of the un precedented situation created by the bovouac ot the bonus army. Un til a higher authority drove the B.

E. F. out with fire, bayonet and tear gas, it was Brigadier-General Felham D. Glassford, superinten dent of police who maintained law and order, discipline and organization in that mass of 20,000 dissatis fied, hungry men; 4 Glassford Is Hanny" No one can imagine this lanky, grinning six loot-tnree phenome- non because he probably is the only one of his type who ever held an important public job. The best key to his personality is the fact that his friends have always called him "Happy" because he has so obvious ly found fun in throwing himself into the successful performance of everything he ever undertook.

His career has been mainly mili tary, but his sidelines in themselves have served to make Glassford an astonishing figure. He took highest honors at West Point and became the youngest American general on the line in the World War. He won medals and decorations for "invalu able service," became one of the few generals to be wounded, stayed in the Army until about a year ago, when he was chief of the General Staff's mobilization section, and then retired at the age of '47 because he was "bored by Found Self Opposed During that military career, using accumulated leaves, he became a mural and portrait painter of recognized talent a newspaperman, an electrician and barker in a traveling carnival and various other things that he fancied. He resigned as police chief because he found himself hamstrung by the politicians in and out of the police department when in the interests of efficiency he sought to demote and transfer two old-time police inspectors who were part of the old resigning, said: "I find myself in the equivocal position of so many other police chiefs in the United States, namely, holding a position of great responsibility but deprived of the essential authority to discharge it without fear and without favor." Reorganized Force Glassford had been persuaded to take over the difficult job by the promise, that he would have a free hand in selection and assignment of his principal assistants and by the assurance that he was needed to rescue the force from demoralization accompanied by poor law enforcement Almost at once came 1500 Com munist-led "Hunger Marchers" for an unprecedented demonstration, Glassford surrounded them, ushered them in, let them parade and dem onstrate and then ushered them out. He refused to let them become martyrs and averted what might have been a very bloody disturbance.

The country marveled at his success. Other "marchers" came and he handled them, too. Eviction of E. F. Last May the bonus marchers came everyone remembers about that The administration and the commissioners wanted the bonus men driven out Glassford, whd had the B.

E. F. eating out of his hand literally as well as figuratively because he was seeing to it that this might produce the most serious disturbance in the nation's history and demanded written orders. No one ever dared give the order to the. capital's small police force, but the troops finally were called out Glassford had urged the veterans to go home and felt that the movement was slowly dissolving.

When Attorney General Mitchell tried to justify the eviction by describing the B. E. as a menace composed of Reds and criminals, Glassford branded, his report false by citing police records and statis tics. Such a defiance of the admin istration by a subordinate official created a national sensation. Glassford's plans are vague.

He is being tendered many positions, but he won't take anything unless he thinks he will enjoy it. For, being a Jack-of-all-trades, he is eco nomically Independent.

A SUMMER t.e 1 0 a PORK ET'10A; SAUSAGE '4v HIBLETTES I w6 Republicans Aim Attack on Dem's Record in House Seek to Persuade Country That Roosevelt Isn't Worth Bother Washington The most nearly painless way to get an idea of what the campaign orators are talking about is to read copies of their speeches. There are addicts who insist on listening, but they belong to a restricted and somewhat eccentric group.

Your corresDondent. without ben efit of stimulant, has just waded into an even half dozen camcalcm- addresses, which establishes a rec ord lor au time insofar as con cerns sneeches made' bv others than the presidential candidates themselves. Two were written for delivery by Secretary of the Treasury Og-den Mills, one for Assistant Secretary of the Navy Eruest Lee Jahncke, two for Secretary of War Patrick Hurley and one for Sen ator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan. From these one 'learns that the Republicans, fiehtinff verr desner- ately to stem what looks increasingly like a tidal wave of anti-Hoover' sentiment, have taken in a big way to belaboring the Democrats for what Democratic Con gressmen tried to do when they had a House majority in the last cession.

The attempt is made to prove that Democratic congressmen are not only radical but also dangerously insane. Boiled down, the Renubllcan or ators in their big push seek to persuade the country: 1. That President Hoover's record is better than that of the Democratic House. 2. That Roosevelt isn't worth bothering about The fact is.

of course, that the Democratic record in the last House wasn't anything over which anyone swooned with nrida and that the Democrats have been keeping rather ouiet about it It can be extenuated here and there. One is reminded that the House gave Hoover about everything he wanted and that the Democratic margin of control was so clipht n. to make effective leadership diffi cult, bui me record was so mecU ocre that politics being what it is, Avvuuuwaiu 11UVV XCCl Hi gill I selves justified In painting it inky Mart I They may soon receive a return fire from Speaker Jack Garner, VM1 1 1 I Afcuuacveua syeecnes nave given them so little into which to sink their teeth that the House perform ance is their one best obvious tar get The Goldsboroueh bill designed to raise commodity price levels, the cash bonus bill (which had been passed by a Republican House before it was passed by a Democratic House,) the bill for a system of guaranteeing bank deposits, the Garner measure for an immense federal buildinff the proposal to advance private loans to individuals irom the Reconstruction Finance Cornoration. di rect federal unemployment relief, the Muscle Shoals government operation bill those are the chief things which came out of the last House and are now cited hv the Republican "big shots" as evidence tnat democrats are unlit to rule. 'The troeram enacted hv that House was so shameful, so reckless and so extravagant, so suicidal," savs Jahncke.

"that the Democrat ic party dared not extoll its wretch ed record wnen met in convention in Chicago in 1932." And vandenberg says: "The chief reason whv American business displayed sudden and re newed vitality this summer was the fact that the adjournment of con gress relieved the country of its fears for the first time in eight months, that some of the suicidal schemes hatched in the Democratic House of Representatives might succeed."

Hunger Parade Croup Starting To Return Home Leaders, in London Disturbances are Taken Into, Court CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 tions Just after dark.

Their thousands were augmented by thrill seeking spectators. By 8 p. jn, the huge press of spectators had overflowed into the streets and pushed the massive iron gates leading into parliament. At that point mounted police filed silently out of Scotland Yard and converged toward parliament building from three directions. There were boos and catcalls as the bobbies on foot pushed back the throngs into Whitehall toward Trafalgar square and away from the house of commons.

One charge was made at the cenotaph, Britain's most sacred monument when the crowd attempted to grab up wreaths. Severe Straggle The steady retreat continued, until the throngs were backed into Trafalgar square, tempers mounting in the process.

Isolated instances of looting occurred. The mounted police finally turn ed the tide, breaking the throng up into small groups, then dispersing each one, until, at midnight all was quiet in the heart of London.

Meanwhile Hannington remained in custody, and was Joined in jail by 60 or more of the demonstrators. The charge against him was attempting to incite to wutlny. His petition, signed, he said, by 1,000,000 persons and demanding abolition of the means test and higher appropriations for the unemployed, was not presented to par liament because he scorned tradition and declined the offer of a member to present it preferring the direct march on the house of commons.
