To ignore the above, I feel I would be very ungrateful not to run and give the people a chance to throw off the yoke of slavery caused by corrupt machine politics.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Slif- CALLS DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE MEETING Harrlsburg, Oct. 10 (UP) John R.

Collins, chairman of the ANTON Monday -Tuesday ON THE SPOT! for laughs and gasps! In the death of William Her-ron Alexander there was lost to this community a man whose integrity of character, upright life, good judgement and keen business interests was such a benefit to its social, commercial and philanthropic interests that the loss is inestimable. His nobility of character was evidenced in all his dealings and in his family and the church his place can never be filled. No portrait of Mr. Alexander would be that did not preserve a show of kindliness shining through his features, and no estimate of his pei-sonality could omit the vein of sympathy that waa structural in his character. A peculiar gentleness of manner, an interested eye, a warm hand clasp and a warmer heart behind it, gave him a ready access to the lives of others in those hours and experiences that count the most.

With the death of a man like Mr. Alexander comes a realizing sense of the fact that lives like his, so full of good works, so upright, so useful, are not often lived. 'In all the relations of life his career was well worthy of imitation. His passing creates a great wide vacancy, but, he leaves foundations on which others will long build. He left countless friends who mourn his passing' but the memory of his life and work, the never ending kindnesses, all done so unostatiou.sly, shall linger always in the lives of those whose hearts he touched and whose lives he helped.

The world will long be lonely for many because we shall see his face no more, but he, being dead will long speak. A'ote Dividend Cut jvehosha, Oct. 10 (UP) Reduction of its annual dividend from $4 to $2 was voted today by directors of the Nash Motors a quarterly dividend of 50 cents was declared against $1 previously payable Nov. 2, to stock of record Oct. 20.

Emerging from their places of concealment the officers started in pursuit. FORCED TO SHOOT Chief of Police Luksich weak, from the gas, fell but got onto his teet and continued' the ciiase with' the troopers. Sergeant Tomek shouted for the suspect to surrender or "We'll shoot" but the man only increased his speed.

He was increasing' the distance between himself and the gas weakened officers when Ker-cher fired. The shot, which struck the fleeing figure in the back, felled him and the policemen completed the capture. He was taken to the Ciiarleroi Monessen hospital where lie maintained a strict silence, refusing to comment or answer questions. A search of his home uncovered considerable -Communistic literature, and evidence that lie way Michael Kacik, a former mill worker. Letters on his person were signed C.

of which, officers believed, was an abbreviation for Communists of America. Kacik was single and lived with his 'mother. He was well known in Monessen as "Cow" and played independent football in that city several years ago. Tomek was 'able to talk only with difficulty last night because of the ill affects of the gas -but none of the officers appeared any 'he worse from their experience today. Kacik is the second alleged blackmailer slain by state troop-en? in thwarting extortion attempts at Monessen within a year, at the cost of the life one a policeman.

The Athletics may have the Cards on the run. It's all very well for "Sarge" Gabby Street to make his optimistic statements. Maybe he'll prove to be right. But unless the Cards snap out of the "do-less" spirit in which they found themselves yesterday, only a miracle can prevent the American League enrty from winning once again in the annual baseball feature. For with all due respect to the fine play of the Athletics generally and to the splendid pitching of Lefty Grove, the Cards beat themselves yesterday and did it by being over confident.

Betting odds which have been right more than wrong have made the A's favorites to win today, and hence win the series. Latest odds showed the A's quoted at 3 to 5, while the Cards were 6 to 5. That means that if you like the A's you wager five on them and win three if you're right. If you dike the Cards five will get you six if the Cards win. Today's game provided the big test for "Pepper" Martin, series After having hit safely in every game, equalling two batting records, 'and having become the national baseball hero, Martin failed utterly.

It was only natural that the Peppers should have slumped eventually. Even if he doesn't "hit his weight" today Pepper will be the most talked of baseball player for months. But if he comes through as nobly as every baseball fan in the country, except the A's par-t'sans hope he does, Martin will become a genuine sensation. St. Louis, Oct.

10 (UP) Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, will set a new record if Philadelphia wins the World series today. It would be his third consecutive championship. No manager has yet won three titles in a row. Mack has been in eight world series. They were those of 1905, 1910, 1911, 1913, 1914, 1929, 1930, 1931.

Mack has won five championships, in 1910, 1911, 1913, 1929, 1930. If the Cards win it will be I heir second championship. They were champions in 1926. They have been in four series, 1926, 192S. 1930, 1931.
