Knox in Los Angeles

Loudest and busiest campaigner for his Party's cause is Republican Vice Presidential Nominee William Franklin Knox. Last week, before a quiet audience in Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium, he had reached the point in his remarks in which he declared that New Dealers were no longer as interested in Karl Marx as in the Literary Digest poll. Shouted the Chicago Daily News Publisher: "The Administration . . . is no longer trying to reorganize America; it is just trying to get votes!"

"He's a dirty liar!" interrupted a shrill, hysterical voice.

Nominee Knox stopped, stared. Heads turned, feet shuffled as the owner of the voice, Mrs. Mabel West, 39-year-old Philadelphian in Los Angeles for a visit, scrambled over laps to the aisle. There she proceeded to raise a small vial of iodine to her lips, drink, fall writhing to the floor. Later at the hospital, where she was found to be only slightly damaged, iodine-stained Accuser West speculated: "Maybe I just got hysterical."

Immediately after the current Presidential campaign's liveliest rally to date, Nominee Knox headed back East in his special train, stopped frequently to address crowds large and small. When the Roald Amundsen, his private car, reached Chicago, Frank Knox's tour had ticked off 9,000 miles from Maine to California.
