WORYTRAIN’
SPEEDS WITH
HOOVER
(Continued from First Page.)
Men a wreck or an accident. I am
the living evidence of the care and
responsibility of tralnmep.”
A throng estimated at 25,000
cheered Hoover as he moved from
his train to a nearby speaking plat
form at Cumberland. Surrounded
by a demonstrative audience, which
frequently halted his prosperity key
note with bursts of enthusiastic ap
plause, Hoover declared his confi
dence that "the American people
wish it continued.”
For a second time Hoover disa
vowed materialism as the true spirit
of American prosperity.
"Successful democracy rests
wholly upon the moral and spiritual
quality of its people,” he said with
driving emphasia “Material pros
perity and moral progress must
march together if we would make
the United States that Common
wealth so grandly conceived by its
founders, to match the expectations
of our people, must have constant
regard for those human values that
give dignity and nobility to life.”
Crowds Along Route
The first leg of Hoover’s trans
continental journey to the ballot
box was along the route of the
histdHc Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
which was surveyed in the early
day of American nationhood by
George Washington and later be
came the center of violent political
strife in the administration of John
Quincy Adams.
Crowds in which many traced
their ancestry to the revolutionary
period burned red flares at tiny
weather worn railroad stations as
the Hoover train sped through. At
Harpers Ferry, W. Va., symbol of
another major episode of American
history, a throng of several thou
sand cheered the candidate as he
waved a friendly greeting from the
rear platform of his car.
A similar reception greeted the
special during its brief stop at
Brunswick, Md., at Martinsburg. W.
Va., apprpximately 10,000 persons
met the train. Here, too. Hoover
greeted the assemblage with cordial
gestures from the rear platform.
Willys Gives $25,000
For Hoover Campaign
A donation of 125,000 by John N.
Willys, Toledo (Ohio) auto manufac
turer, was announced today by the
Republican National Committee.
"The great work Herbert Hoover
has already performed in developing
our export trade, and his ability to
have that policy continued in the fu
ture, is worth millions of dollars In
service value to our manufacturers,
and ths wage earners engaged in
making products to be sold in for
eign countries,” said Willys.

The old Irish gentleman with

fine boy Al was—"so good to bls

young man; how everybody liked to
see him because ”he cheered you
up”; -of his ability as a “mixer”

"The big surprise to the country,
as I see it, will be the election of
Republican Congressmen from
Southern States.,
"The election of a Republican
Congress is certain. The only ques*
tion now is how large a majority
we will get. I believe wo will have
a real working majority tn the
House, exclusive of all blocs, for
the first time since the 1920 eiec»

Democratic chieftains mocked
those claims. Representative Wil
liam A. Oldfield of Arkansas, chair
man of the Democratic campaign
committee, countered by declaring
the next House would be Demo
cratic.
"Reports we receive show we will
capture 31 seats now held by Re
publicans and there is a possibility
of an overturn of from 50 to 60.”
said Oldfield. "We will gain in
every section of the country.
"While we claim but 31 additional
seats. We need only 23 victories in
districts now held by Republicans
to give us control of the House.
"The Democrats are fighting in
this election. Even in Pennsyl
vania, where elections have gone
by default in the past, we are con
testing for seats this year. It
would not surprise me if the Dem
ocrats gained aS many as 12 seats
in that rock-ribbed Republican
State. Indeed ,our reports are
such as to indicate the results of
Tuesday’s congressional elections
will surprise not only the Republi

while her mother, Mrs. Margaret

“It’s not only that she runs

Judge Glass looked puzzled for
a moment, undetermined as to
what could bo so criminal about

until the mother explained.
"You see, your honor,” she said,
"she told the neighbors I was
dead, and that the flowers were

chiatrists are expected to conclude
their test of the sanity of George |
Harsh, self-styled “thrill” bandit
and slayer tomorrow.
Tho result of scrutiny of the I
erstwhile student’s brain, it was
indicated, will play an important j
part in the legal battle for the* i
youth’s life.
"We have not gone far enough
to hay whether or not Harsh is *
insane,” said Dr. Frank Eskirdge,
the chief defense alienist. "We* .
probably will determine that in
future tests.” ' • .
Harsh, who confessed to slaying
two Atlanta store clerks during a
brief career of banditry, and impli
cated Richard Gallogly, a fellow
student, will be examined again In
jail probably Saturday, Dr. Esk- A]
ridge said. < |
He was taken to Dr. Eskridge’s
offices .yesterday afternoon for the
first part of the test, counsel hav* lj
ing obtained a court order for his A
removal from the county jail. 4'l
He wps quizzed for four hours
regarding his life history, and va- w
rious physical and mental examine.
tlons were made.
Three X-Ray photographs were
taken of the*hey’a head. fl
No indication of the trend of M
defense that will be made by coun
«el for Gallogly has been forth
coming. Unlike Harsh, he baa #
steadfastly denied any knowledge of ?
the murders of Willard Smith and •
E. B. Meeks.
In view of this, it was believed W
his counsel will categorically deny f
the charges agafftst him. He was -
nabbed after detectives arrested
Harsh and obtained a written con
fession from him.
It was stated at the Solicitor 1
General’s office today that the trial
may not get under way as early as
November 18, the date tentatively /!
set earlier in the week.

Brooks pleaded guilty. He said I
he had started working for a new

drinks. Judge Schuldt compared
his alibi unfavorably with the “good
speech” he made on his last appear- <
ance In court, which resulted In his
