A Study in Motives
THE performance of Henry Mar
shall, Lafayette publisher, at
the Republican Editorial Associa
tion meeting Sunday afternoon is
too fascinating a political event to
permit to pass without discussion.
It takes courage of a high order
to stand before the arch-prophets of
Republicanism, and indict the party.
The layman can not understand
the temerity of an action such as
that of Marshall.
Members of the Republican Edi
torial association are, in the ma
jority, staunch supporters of the
party, wrong or right, because a
great part of their livelihood de
pends upon public advertising which
comes to them only through staunch
support of party.
To them the party always is right,
no matter what may be its sins of
omission or commission.
These G. O. P. editors feel that
although it is proper for a member
of the opposition to indict and criti
cise, it is rank heresy for one from
their own ranks to do so, even if
what is said is gospel truth.
a a tt
Marshall easily towers head and
.shoulders, both in ability and polit
ical shrewdness, over his colleagues
In the association.
His performance during the Re
publican state convention, when he
forced through the repeal plank
against bitter opposition, proved
this. His generalship at the national
convention, when he joined the
small group which defied President,
cabinet, postmasters and patronage
holders in an unsuccessful attempt
to make the prohibition plank mean
something, required courage and in
telligence of a high order.
Os course, his indictment of the
campaign management Sunday was
directed at Senator James E. Wat
son, who picked the ticket and
named the party managers.
Marshall has been one partisan
editor who always has been able
to see the senator's clay feet peep
ing from under the toga.
a tt a
Then also, there are many per
sonal reasons for his enmity toward
Sunny Jim.
Watson refused to make him na
tional committeeman in 1928. Wat
son refused to name Marshall’s close
friend, Judge Homer W. Hennager
of Lafayette to the federal bench for
northern Indiana. Watson opposed
Marshall’s selection as a member of
the national convention resolutions
-committee.
These and a host of lesser reasons
may be listed.
They also tell me that Marshall is
an opportunist. The Republican or
ganization is leaderless today. The

"Linda—could I see you alone a
moment? Sorry. Excuse me, Mr.

Lafayette publisher may be the man
of the moment.
Although personally unambitious
for political honors he perhaps
thinks that Governor Harry G.
Leslie would make a nice-looking
United States senator in 1934. •
With Marshall in charge of the
organization, it might be possible to
defeat Arthur R. Robinson for re
nomination and pick Leslie instead.
Those are the Marshall motives,
they tell me.
But whatever they may be, I still
insist it took courage to do what
Marshall did Sunday.
Contract Bridge
BY W. E. M’KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League
THE most valuable instrument of
the contract bridge bidder is
the forcing bid.
As I have explained to you in
previous articles, the one over one
bidding system has a great many
ways of applying forcing bids.
When the forcing principle first
was adopted by contract bridge play
ers, it received a great deal of abuse.
Any player who picked up a fair
hand immediately felt that he had
to force to convey his message to
partner.
The bid that received the great
est amount of abuse was, without
doubt, the original forcing tw r o bid,
or the game demand bid.
I want to state that I do not be
lieve that more than one original
forcing two bid comes up in 150
hands.
While the average of big hands
is possibly one in 100, unfortunately
some players before you sometimes
will put in a psychic, or some fool
ish bid, so that you do not always
get a chance to use the forcing two
bid.
But even though it is one of con
tract's rarest bids, it has a most
valuable place in the game.
a a a
THERE are two types of original
game demand bids in the one
over one system—the original suit
bid of two and the original suit bid
of three.
These two bids differ mainly in
this respect—an original two bid
asks partner’s assistance in selecting
the proper declaration.
It show's a hand that has a choice
of two bids, or one that could be
come the dummy if played at a no
trump contract.*.
The three bid, w'hile forcing in
every respect, the same as the two
bid, shows partner a hand in which
you wish to become the dummy—
around and the road practically de
serted at the time.
Finally someone did pass and
then it took a while to get help and
move them all. Tim says Boyle has
a fractured leg and was unconscious
for some time. I think one of the
men was hurt seriously—all pretty
badly smashed up.
They got them straightened out
as to names and so forth after
awhile and phoned Mrs. Boyle. She
relayed it to Tim and Tim called
us.”
“What does it mean, Tom?”
He looked at his watch. "Nine
o’clock—it means the rest of the eve
ning with no Boyle to butt in and
the gang here all night.”
"Just playing into our hands.”
“Yes. if we can’t find out now—”
"Do they all know?”
"Oh,, yes. Couldn’t help it if I’d
wanted to, which I didn’t especially.
I talked some time to Tim. Marvin
was dummy and he drifted out to
hear about it and the rest followed.
"Shaughnessy appeared from
somewhere—and Linda, that’s really
what I wanted to tell you.”
“Yes—what?”
"He’s watching the bridge and
may cut in, but hasn’t so far. I’ve
got to take a chance and beat it
over there. But, Binks, something
is up! As I went to the phone I
saw the service door into the hall
was open and automatically stopped
to close it.
“Just then Rosie rushed down
that little hallway and up the back
stairs, crying as though her heart
would break.”
"Good heavens! What do you
suppose ?”
“Don’t know and can’t stop to
find out. You’ve got two jobs on
your hands—to keep him from fol
lowing me and to get at Rosie and
pump her.
“Come on, inside. I’ll go right
through the house and out the other
door. I don't think he will notice
Shaughnessy, I mean—and you
can stop and make conversation
with them all.”
an tt
THEY stood a moment at the
threshold of the casement door.
The unlighted room looked dark by
contrast with the outdoors where
daylight still lingered.
“I’ll hold him until you get back
and then go upstairs. You won’t
a hand that you can not play at no
trump, and one in which you simply
wish, in case you show two suits,
to support the suit in which he has
the most strength.
An original forcing bid in the
one over one system is used to in
dicate a hand that will go game re
gardless of the fact that your part
ner’s hand may be trickless.
It is not necessary to open with a
forcing bid unless you have this
powerful hand.
tt tt tt
YOU can open with any of the
one bids, which show a very
good hand, and partner will keep
the bidding open if he has any
semblance of a trick. Use your orig
inal forcing bids to indicate to
partner an absolute game, and a
probable slam if he has anything.
An original forcing bid must not
contain more than two losing cards
if made in a minor suit, and three
losing cards when made in a major
suit. For example, if you held the
following hand:
Spades—A-K
Hearts —A-K-Q-x-x
Diamonds—lo
Clubs—K-Q-J-x-x
You can expect to lose the ace of
clubs, the ace of diamonds, and
either a heart or a club. You have
a right to expect one of those two
suits to break.
If you have a major suit in the
hand, this hand meets the require
ments of a forcing two bid.
Not only are you sure of game,
but there is a probable slam if your
partner holds either the ace of
clubs or the ace of diamonds.
Your first bid should be two
hearts. If partner* responds with
two no trump, you then would show
three clubs, and if partner’s hand
does not have normal support in
either of those suits, his trump,
showing that he has no particular
preference for either of your bids.
Your next bid. should be four
hearts to show a decided preference
for hearts, since it takes only four
tricks to go game at hearts and five
at clubs.

At what cost to herself his daughter had shot
the tiger, Captain Canby dared not think. Im
patiently he awaited the arrival of the army
doctor, bravely facing his fears for Pat who,
as yet, made no signs of life.
Linda laughed outright. "Aren't
you a little mixed in your figures of
speech?” she asked.
"Possibly,” he replied unabashed.
“Now if you were to cite me a pro
verb from the Gaelic !”
Tom had slipped quietly away,
unobserved, he hoped, in the dim
light, and Linda, facing the big cen
ter table, had thus maneuvered
Shaughnessey with his back toward
the door.
She felt, beneath this lazy tone,
the firmest determination to return
at once to his sequestered little
apartment. Better that Tom should
be thwarted altogether than be
caught red-handed!
“Tell me this. Mr. Shaughnessey,”
she spoke quickly, with an appeal
ing upward look partly due to his
stature, though also deliberately
charged with guileful adminiration.

but I simply can't plump right

wondered whether she had not al
