Even after the crowds had been dispersed each poster was guarded by two policemen lest it be torn down by followers of Gen. Juan Andreu Almazan, de feated candidate.

Saw an example this morning of how far the Middle West has progressed from the days when a stage production had to have the indorsement of a New York run before It could get a hearing. In a Loop theater where the People" is about to pen a Chicago engagement, the big lobby advertising "teasers' are announcements thatt the revue comes with the "original Hollywood cast" after a run of .39 weeks in Los An-geles.

The Chicago Tribune is the answer to a by-lincfs prayer. A "by-liner," ladies and gentlemen, is a newspaper person whose name appears at the top of his piece; In the old days a reward sometimes given by astute managing editors in lieu of a salary raise. We columnists, however, have done much, to spoil the racket-Nevertheless, the Tribune has correspondents everywhere arid uses their stories of what goes on in the world in prefer-ence-to those produced by the Ftanriard news agencies, but pinning responsibility to the writer, via the by-line. Avoids Routine Thus the publication, which admits, right out in meeting, that.it is "the world's greatest newspaper," becomes highly personalized, gets away from routine coverage and presents decidedly different angles of the news, always readable, often exciting, even if they don't always turn out to be quite The public must, like, the system for they buy more than copies of the McCor-mick baby every day. Here, folks don't say, "I see by the papers." but "did you read what Larry Rue, or "Arthur Hennlng, or Arch Ward, or Sigrid Schultz (or a score of others) said this morning?" This keeps the gentlemen of the press on their mettle for only by sustained accuracy and good writing can they survive.

They avoid, as far as possible, the tiresome "it Is alleged" and "from a reliable source it is learned," in favor of direct, authoritative statement of facts or near facts, find they had better he reasonably near or their public curls up on them. Illinois Puzzled Illinois is still wondering, as it has been for two years, if it has a Governor and, if so, who he is. This odd issue has just been raised anew by an appeal to, the courts from an extradition procedure which sets forth that the document, in question waS "issued by the Governor at Springfield on Sept. 0." Governor Horner has been Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel, who for seven vears moved! ji in exclusive gambling and, night club circles and lived in a $150,000 mansion until arrested as a gang murder suspect, definitely does not like his residence in the Coun ty Jail. Facing trial on charges of complicity in the gangland slaying of Harry (Big Greenie) Greenberg, Siegel today is due to go before Superior Judge Arthur Crum seeking his release on bail.

'IT'S A BUM BEEF Sticking to his story that "it's a bum beef," Siegel wants his release on bail pending trial on the ground the murder indictment against him and four others is based on weak evidence. Eugene D. Williams, Chief Deputy District Attorney, disclosed yesterday that the bail motion will be strongly opposed. To support the State's case, Williams pointed out that one of the grand jury witnesses was Al Tannenbaum, confessed mobster who testified that, he brought the Greenberg murder guns here from New York and turned them Over to Siegel. PliACFJ) NEAR SCKXE Tannenbaum further testified that Siegel himself drove Frank Carbo, another defendant charged with being the actual triggerman, to the vicinity of the execution at Yucca St.

and Vista del Mar Ave. in Hollywood last Nov. 23. Also under indictment in the same casp are Louis (Lepke) Ruch alter, once king of the New York underworld: Emanuel! (Mendy) Weiss, aide to Buchal-i ter, and Harry Segal. Hollywood barbershop proprietor.

Besides the Governor, sub-penas will be asked for the Lieutenant Governor, who has not tried to exercise his rights as acting Governor since he was defeated for the nomination by the Nash-Kelly machine in the spring primary; the Secretary of State, who is required to certify the signature of the Governor; the. Director of State Finance, who is said to be performing the functions of Governor; the chief executive's confidential secretary; his physician, bodyguard and butler, who will be interrogated as to his whereabouts on the date in question and his physical ability to have signed the extradition. Part of Day's Wish In anv other State this would be a fine kettle o' fish, but Illinois has become accustomed to the bizarre in politics and it's all a part of the day's wash. The political situation, nationally, does not appear to have changed materially since we last looked it over, except that there has been an undoubted increase in anti-New Deal sentiment which is expected to find reflection at the polls.

The Nash-Kelly steam roller still rules the Chicago roost, but from a throne that many think is tottering. Its chief interest In the current proceeding is in putting over its State ticket while lending noisy lip service to the New Deal administration. Downstate Hope The hope of Willkie's overcoming the comparatively slight edge the Democrats seem to have is downstate where, in the rural and farm sections, the revolt is said to be assuming imposing proportions. Here in Chicago about the best hoped for is to whittle down the machine's boasted lead. If this can be accomplished in the metropolis, plus an Increased Republican vote elsewhere throughout the State, the trick may easily be turned, especially with "de gang'', apparently willing to swap national votes where necessary to further their State candidates.

The Communist ticket has been ruled off the ballot. Leading insurance men of the State are lined up for Will-kle in order, they say, "to safeguard the existing basis of insurance investment and to curb political encroachments on the insurance business." Illinois may not be exactly "in the but she is a mighty promising prospect. jMoslems Spurn Viceroy's Offer Invitation to Send Two Representatives to Councils Rejected BOMBAY, Sept, 29. IP) The Council of All-India Moslem League unanimously adopted today a resolution declaring the league cannot accept the Viceroy's Invitation to send representatives to the expanded executive council and the proposed new war advisory The decision followed an interview which the league's president, Mahomed AH Jinnah, had last week with the Viceroy, Lord Linlithgow, who offered Jinna two Moslem league seats on the council. The league considers the number too small.

The resolution does not mean, however, that the Moslems will boycott the war or withhold individual aid since Jinnah has not revoked his permission to members of the league to do any war work they like. Metallic Hip Replaces Bone COLUMBIA- (S.C.) Sept. 29. Two surgeons removed the entire hip joint and upper part of the thigh from a 224-pound Negro here and replaced the bone with a metallic hip. It took the surgeons three hours to perform the unusual operation yesterday.

Today the patient's condition was described' as "satisfactory." The metallic hip joint was made of vltallium, an alloy of cobalt chromium and another metal. It was fashioned by hand by one of the surgeons who operated a member of the faculty at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore. ions are merely touting when they assure Mr. Roosevelt that "the labor vote will support him. I just don't believe they can Jak thpr memb many of whom, I am certain.

fiercely resent their pretensions to leadership. Little People Bled During the- last years incalculable numbers of "little people have been driven into unions against their will, harassed and persecuted and without gaining a dollar beyond the amount which was promptly snatched back by the thieves representing the unions. Nobody can teil me that people who have been the victims of this kind of doing feel loyal to the union movement or kindly toward any candidate who builds up the prestige of the boss unioneers by complimenting them in public. These little people might not have been quite so resentful if the unions had been comradely or half-decent to them. As it is.

they hate their unions and hate the business agents and local and international officials whi treat them as if they were serfs as, in fact, they are. Rascals Far From Rare If you are a worker earning so little money that the internal revenue doesn't even ask you to file an income tax return and some union then makes you pay $75, cash, to join and from S2 to $10 a month in dues and buy $2 worth of tickets every three months, you are not going to cheer for unionism. You are going to be sore and the little woman is going to figure that money in terms of milk and food and clothing which the children deserved but didn't get. I don't want to hear anything alwut the rarity of the union scoundrel. I know better.

The thief and extortioner is more common than rare, but that question aside, the damned spot that will not out is the fact that none o' the high unioneers, from Will Green on down through his executive council, have made a concerted move to kick out the crooks or relieve the oppression Of little people by the union politicians. In fact, they have a gang man in the executive council itself, the same being George Browne, and nobody in the American Federation of Labor has the character, honesty or courage to look him in the eye and tell him to get the hell out.

Penney died today. NEW YORK. Sept. 29. All told, I have received, I suppose, 1000 letters from individual little people who have been Mcke around ived pf their right to work, robbed and cheated by labor unions under the authority and protection of President Roosevelt's labor policy.

These people are unor- ganized. afraid and in many cases desperate, and it seems very unlikely that they will vote for Mr. Roosevelt in November, although as yet Mr. Willkie has offered them no reason to hope that he will give them any relief, Mr. Willkie is on a spot, because if he should blast the crooks and dictators of the union movement and promise to break their brutal power over the little people every labor faker in the country would immediately damn him as an enemy of labor with a capital L.

Willkie Their Only Hope The citizens who are individual victims of the labor skates can only hope that Mr. Willkie has some mental reservations and intends, if elected, to proceed asainst the thieves and fakers. That seems to be their only hope, because Mr. Roosevelt is playing ball with the boss unioneers. Aside from one very coy reference to the rare, occasional scoundrel in union leadership the President has never mentioned this oppression of American citizens by unofficial but harsh and arrogant dictators, many of them crooks of the meanest sort.

It may be observed that even that mild condemnation was not gratuitous. It was wrung out of him. Forced to Take Notice The disclosures which have been made in the last year with no help, incidentally, from his Muscovite Labor Relations Board finally became so scandalous and the facts were so authentic that Mr. Roosevelt had to take some notice of them. That is Mr.

Roosevelt's way. He took no action to compel State, county and municipal employees lo pay Federal income taxes until their outrageous exemption had been shown up in print for about a year and he was dead sure that the people who would personally resent, a change were vastly outnumbered by thos who would approve it.
