VAST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "NEW DEALER” AND DEMOCRAT

Washington, To-day.

Now that people are recovering their breath after the election, those who enthusiastically voted for President Roosevelt rather than individual Democrats, are be ginning to speculate on the result of their gesture.

Some are worried over the pos aibility of further inflation and the payment of the, ex-Service- men's bonus, while others con- sider that the candidates who supported President Roosevelt during his campaign are likely to be thoroughly conservative now: that they are elected.

One expert declared that there was all the difference in: the world between the "New 'Dealer" and the Democrat. Most of those elected are just Democrats.

A cool $500,000 is what Lady Adrian Baillie (above), heiress and grand-daughter of the lote mil- Honaire, William C. Whitney, of New York City, dropped over the casino tables at Cannes, France, the BBY croupiers who call her greatest loser at the 'Riviera since the depression set in. Reports add that Lady Adrian showered 5,000 franes on a down-and-out gambler who begged a few coias.
