YOUNG BLOOD FOR TAMMANY
IAMES J. DOOLING, a youngster of 41 years, has been
elected leader of Tammany Hall, most famous of all
Jitical organizations. He succeeds the unfortunate John
Curry as leader, for Curry was ousted by the Hall.
Curry made the fatal error of fighting Franklin D.
,„sevelt at the Chicago convention. Then the hall refused
iv back a clean-up of New York City affairs, and through
the stubbornness of its old heads lost control of the great
city and its affairs.
Dooling is a young attorney, scholar and former foot-
ball star. What he will do with the organization remains to
be seen. He takes Tammany at ita lowest, when without
funds, its organization broken, the hall must fight back
from the bottom to again gain control of the city.
The country will watch Tammany Hall under the new
young leader in the hopes that the largest city of the coun-
try will have a Democratic organization that will end its
career of graft and political crimes and set an example of
service and good government. Mr. Dooiing could turn even
Tammany in the right direction. But will he?
JIM FERGUSON
STILL IS ABLE
TO DRAW CROWD
HOUSTON, (UUP) — Former
Governor James E. Ferguson pro-
ve 1 he still has Ills ho:: office
appeal when he spoke here last
ni^ht ahd u.^cd more than o,000
lir.tsneu? to vote for "hi* man,"
C. C. McDonald of Wichita Falls
far governor.
The attentive audience number-
ed more than the combined total
of all other candidates who have
apoken here thus far.
It was the first time in his life
that Ferguson campaigned for
someone e! e during the last 20
years of his hectic politica'
career.
Fwgutxn concentrated on
James V. Ailred and Tom Hunter,
the tv.-o men Ferguson thinks Mc-
Donald will have to beat.
"YV« will ignore four of the
seven to save time," he said, "de-
feat tv/o to save the people's
time and elect one and perform a
jreat public service."
am advocating McDonald
for tv/o reasons.
"One is personal. He has stood
by me far 20 years, fighting my
battles, standing for whst I stood
for and never asking any political
reward for himself.
"The second is that he is best
qualified to take you through the
hard times, and thsre never was
a time when you needed iv.o.-e a
Strong man at the head of the
government."
The former governor, who
spoke et le/.g:h on Fergusonism,
said McDonald !s the only candi-
date pledged to keep up the FA-
gusun plank of economy.
"Ferg usonism ain't so bad after
ail.
"When my wifs left office in
t'J27 she left $",300,000 surplus
if* the treasury. When she got
back in 1932 she found an over-
draft of $19,000,000. When she
leaves in January this figure will
be cut $15,000,000."
He attacked those who criti-
cized the administration's relief
activities.
"What the devil would we have
done if we had not voted those
Jcnds and got federal aid?" he
asked.
Mr. and Mrs. T. G, Hamilton and
ion, Dan lid, and Mrs. E. H. Hineh-
liffe and son, William Etses, left
Monday for a week'3 visit in Gal-
reston.
H. W. TOLSON, 63,
BURIED TUESDAY
NEAR OLD HOME
Hczikiah William Tolson, 68
year old farmer, school teacher
and political leader was buried
late Tuesday at Point Enterprise
where he died late Monday after-
noon after long illness of cancer.
Mr. Tolson had been expected to
die for several weeks, so severe
was his attack.
Born July 21, 1872, in Arkan-
sas, he came to Texas in 1888 set'
tl'ng at Prairie Grove, and later
moving to the Point Enterprise
community, where he had a large
(arm, and a home in a grove of
oak trees. He had taught school
and farmed and took active inter-
est in the public affairs of his
county and state, taking the
stump frequently on issues which
interested him. He was ever on
the moral side and fought hard
for governmental reforms. His
writings were always welcomed
to the Mexia Daily News and
other newspapers. Progressive,
alert and forceful his pen influ-
enced many toward the New
Dcai in politics.
Funeral services were held m
the community auditorium, with
Rev. R. L. Nash and Rev. J. C.
Newman officiating. Interment
was in the Point Enterprise ce-
metery, the John R. Corley Co.,
in charge.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs.
Ella Tolson, and two sons, Felix
Tolson of Mexia, and Lester Tol-
son of Los Angeles, three grand
children, Roger Lee, James Wil-
I 'am and Felix Byron Tolson. Two
brothers, John S. Tolson of Tor-
rence, Calif., and Jre Hammett,

hitler defends
his ruthless
extermination
BERLIN, (U.R) — Chancellor
Adolf Hitler, describing the purg-
ing of the Nazi party by execu-
tions and arrests, told the Reich-
stajc today:
"I have the order to shoot the
rebels."
BERLIN, (U.PJ—The death toll
in Germany's week-end blood
purging of the Nazi party was
placed at 77 today by Chancellor
Adolf Hitler, who also disclosed
that three of the SS or Elite
black-ahirted storm troopers had
been shot for "shameful mis-
handling of prisoners."
• BERLIN, (U.R) — Chancellor
Adolf Hitler defended before the
German people and the world to-
night his ruthless extermination
of rebellious elements in his Nazi
party.
# With the entire nation listen'
ing in to his address, broadcast
by every station in Germany, the
Chancellor told a special session
of the Reichstag in the Kroli
Opera House that recent bloody
events constituted a warning.
The Chancellor began as fol-
lows:
"When Herr Goering called
you in today it wag to give, in
this best form to the nation, an
account of events which may live
in the history of our people as a
remembrance which is just as sad
as it is a warning.
"Out of a number of material
reasons, partly due to personal
fault, human imperfection and
human defects, the young Ger-
man Reich has had to pass thru
a crisis which only too easily
could have entailed the most de-
vastating consequences of a long
period.
"It is the purpose of my speech
to explain their cause and the
manner in which they were over
come, before you and before the
German nation. The contents of
my explanations will be abso-
lutely frank.
"It was only because of ex-
isting conditions that I had to
restrict myself so as not to col-
lide with the boundaries which
are set by a feeling of humilia-
tion."
He explained what he meant by
humiliation and traced the decay
of Germany in its transition per-
iod after the war when it was
ruled by squabbling parties.
"When on January 80, Gen.
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg
ordered me to take over leader-
ship of the German government,"
Hitler continued, "the national
socialist party took ovr a state
which was in a condition of de-
cay, both politically and economi-
cally.
"All the political forces of the
former state which had been over
come in the meantime, had their
share in this decay and therefore
were contributing to it."

ADJUSTMENT OF
COTTON PROVES
TO BE EFFECTIVE
SHIRLEY TEMPLE
GOES IN STRIKE
HOLLYWOOD, (U.R)—It's $2,-
500 a week for Shirley Temple,
or nothing.
That was the declaration of G.
F. Temple, banker-father of the
child screen .star, today as he
sought a further increase in her
salary.
Shirley's original contract call-
ed for $150 a week.
This was recently ^ increased to
a reputed $1,000 a week, but just
now her business-minded father
believes she is worth a great
deal more.
And if she doesn't get it,
Shirley will go back to making
mud pies in her own back yard,
papa Temple threatened.
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. 0J.fi)—
| Three federal highways pass un-
der the shed of a filling station
here, believed to be the only one
in the nation similarly served.
Approximately 24,000,000 acres
of the 28,024,000 acres under cul-
tivation in cotton on July 1, are
on farms covered by adjustment
contracts, Cully A. Cobb, chief of
the cotton section of the agricul-
tural Adjustment administration
stated today. The estimate of 28,-
024,000 acerg in cotton as of
July 1, was made by the crop re-
porting board of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. This
means that only about 4 million
acres of cotton are being grown
on farms not covered by adjust-
ment contracts.
Contracts renting 14,500,000 ac>
res of cotton land to the Secre-
tary of Agriculture under the ad
justment program, have already
been approved. Other contracts in
scattered counties probably will
bring the total rented acreage to
15 million acres. Contracting far
mers have planted about 62 per
cent of their base acreage of near
ly 40 million acres.
Although not taken into con.
sideration in the adjustment pro-
gram, the probable abandonment
of acreage reported as being un-
der cultivation July 1, also will
be a factor in further reducing
the acreage, Mr. Cobb said. The
average abandonment for the 10
years, 1924-33 for cotton acreage
reported under cultivation as of
July 1 is 2.4 percent, which, if
followed out this year, would
further reduce the actual crop
area by approximately 500,000 ac-
res.
"I think the acreage report is
eloquent testimony to the fine
spirit of cooperation shown by
cotton farmers, and to the ef-
fectivenss of our dual control
program," Mr. Cohb said. "The
production adjustment plan of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, together with the
restrictive influence of the Bank-
head act on those planters who
di dnot sigh contracts, has brou-
ght about a reduction in acreage
in line with that long sought by
those who have the best welfare
of cotton planters at heart. Both
in point of percentage and in
point of acreage the actual reduc-
tion is by 50 per cent the great-
est in history and more than dou-
ble anything that happened under
the influence of Old Man Adver-
sity, who did all the adjusting
up to 1033 end usually in the
presence of a prostrate South."
protest, given
u. s. statement
WASHINGTON (U.R) _ Recov-
ery Administrator Hugh S. John-
son's remarks on German Nazi ex-
ecutions brought an Immediate
protest today from the German
embassy and resulted in the state
department "regretting" that
Johnson's Waterloo, la., speech had
been "misconstrued as official."
Tha incident became an interna-
tional affair today when Dr. Ru-
dolph Leltner, charged D'Affares
of the German embassy called on
Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
Leitner aPpeared somewhat agi-
tated after the conference.
The visit threw high state de-
partment officials into a huddle
from which, an hour later, came a
statement of explanation of the in-
cident.
The statement said:
"The German charge D'Affaires
called at the department of state
this morning and protested to the
secretary of state against the re-
marks reported to have been made
by General Hugh S. Johnson in a
speech on July 12, 1984 relative to
recent events in Germany.
"The secretary of state called
the attention of Dr. Leitner to
the published statement of General
Johnson which appeared in this
morning's press to the effect that
he 'was speaking as an individual
and not for the state department
or for the administration.' Mr. Hull
confirmed the accuracy of this ex-
planation and said it was to be re-
greted that the Position in the
government occupied by the speak-
er made it possible for remarks ut-
tered by him as an individual to
be misconstrued as official."
Hull refused to amplify on the
statement at his noon-day press
conference even to the extent of
saying whether or not he consider-
ed this closed the incident.

Wwiiei's can
tell yon all about Electrolux economy
THHE unprecedented demand this season for automatic refrigerators
has made lively selling campaigns. Much tslk and argument over
which it the belt refrigerator is heard almost everywhere. To you
who are thinking of buying an automatic refrigerator we offer this
suggestion: Talk with the woman who owns an Electrolux. That's
the one sure way to get the facts about the gas refrigerator. You'll
find that she enjoys the advantage of a remarkably low running cost,
the comfort of permanent silence, and the assurance that parts which
do not move cannot wear. Furthermore, she can show you how her
Electrolux actually fayt ft itself in savings!
