Leonard Due
For Hard Go
With Hammer
BY EDWARD SMITH
(Written for international News

/
Service.)
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Aug. A.
There is growing uneasiness in the
minds of thousands of friends that
Benny Leonard has made in this vi
cinity. that the champion Is in for a
desperate time of 1t Saturday after
noon when he steps put, title in hand,
against Ever Hammer of Chicago,
These friends do not think Leonard
is inferior as fighter in any way or
that he has lost ground recently, but
the fact that he has a badly cut right
eye is the cause
AS a matter Of fact, it is developing
that the whole argument of the battle
is around this injury, Most of the
fans admit that Hammer is won
derfully tough and willing lad and
that his rushing style OF milling and
his incessant hitting makes him one
of the hardest men of the day to put
under
For these reasons, Leonard must be
in the best of shape to meet him, and
while he is undoubtedly in his usual
excellent shape otherwise the injured
eve puts the champion in a handicap
ped condition that may cause him a
lot of trouble. ~
Leonard himself admits all of Ever's
toughness and general ability not only
to give but to take as well. Benny
knows that Hammer slings nasty
lefthanders and In such manner that
it is hard to gauge. OF course, that
bad lamp is to be the main target Of
Hammers left and If 1t connects and
reopens the Tender wounds, there
may be a very interesting story toI
write of the subsequent' proceedings.

500 ACRES or "ATILLA SEED
POTATOES PASSED PRELIMINARY
INSPECTION BY SPECIALISTS

Five hundred acres of Umatilli
county seed potatoes, grown on Wes
ton, Reed and Hawley, Wild Horse
Reservation, and Basket Mountains
passed the first inspection yesterday
conducted by e. r. Jacllman, farm
crops specialist from o. A. c., ano
Fred Bennion, county agent.
These potatoes if they pass the sec
ond field inspection and the final bin
inspection, will be entitled to the label
Oregon Certified Seed, Potatoes" and
as such will command high prices
among potato growers.
So enthusiastic are Umatilla county
growers regarding potato development
that they are planning to hold a po-
tato show this october at Weston. AT
this time certified potatoes will be
shown.
10 Fields Rejected
Nineteen fields, representing about
800 acres. were rejected by the inspec-
tors, who demand that in the first
inspection, the field must not show
more than five per cent of the tubers
to be suffering from one disease or
IL PNi NIht nun u
tion of diseases. Mr. Jackman de-
clared the fields to be much improv-
ed over last year and states that fields
which passed last year passed very
easily this year. He says Weston
Mountain potatoes are more disease
free than are any other potatoes in
the Northwest
Diseased Plants Removed
When a field is passed by the in
spectators, they ask that all diseased
plants be destroyed. This is done by
''rougeing.' Much interest was shown
at the inspections the owners af
fields being present at
most of the inspections. This gave
an opportunity for demonstrating the
value of the use off, corrosive sub
Innate, which checks rhysoctonia, and
the use Of land plaster, which increas-
es the yield on an average of 12 per
cent. Another demonstration showed
the use of the cut blossom ,ends,, &,

ASSERTS WAGE
REDUCTION Is
WRONG BASIS
Head of Motor Merger Says
More Production Is Needed
Rv the Associated Press)

(lSV the HSSOCldlCu ASo'/
Chicago, July 5.-Assertion that a
"wagc reduction policy is wrong IN
every way and unnecessary was
made today by Will l. Homer Day
ton. Ohio, chairman Of the board OF
the Associated Motor Industries, an
autom obile merger Of firms manutac-
tur;np seven cars and trucks, forma-
t;on of which was announced last
week.
Outlining his wage policy, Mr.
Dinner said: :.
Everybody should join now in
harmoniops work Tor production
and prosperity for all. Talk OF wage
reduction is entirely out of harm
onv, Where is prosperity if there is
wage reduction? We are building up
now and not tearing down.
1--WE believe that. wage workers
should have the opportunity to earn
more wages instead of less. Talk OF
cutting down wages of working men
and women is the most harmful talk
that could be indulged in now. 1t is
contrary to- what every constructive
agency in this country is working
for. Whoever is working for wage
reductions now is pulling against the
stream.
"What this country and the world
wants is harmony, mutual good will,
confidence and greater production.
Wage reduction can only produce
discomfort, pessimism and limited
production.
"The essential argument is that
wage production is not necessary,
but on the contrary, is the very
thing that would defeat what is ne
cessary, namely, efficient production.
The answer to the needs of the
country is not wage reduction but
more efficient methods of manufac-
turing. Put the factories on a thor
oughly efficient basis and you won't
have to cut wages. On the contrary
the workers can earn more, and more
product will result.
Production of costs should not be
brought about by reduction of wages.
What the times call for is superior
meth ods of manufacturing, not wage
cutting"

SIMON APPEARS
VICTORIOUS IN
DENIS PRIMARY
Fusion Candidate Holds Lead
of S25 Over DIR. PlatOu.
Some Counties Missing

Charles Simon Of New England
assistant attorney-general, today had
a lead of 1926 votes over DR.. L. 5.
Platou for. the Democratic nomlna-
ton for Governor, and it appeared
likely that Simon was the winner IN
the primary. Returns available gave
Simon a lead Of 1926 over Platou who
ran on a ticket with F. o. Hellstrom
H. A. Hard, s. L. Nuchq}ls and Thor
wald Mostad.
Simon had 4,234 votes and Platou
3,4O9 in returns available which did
not include Nelson, Sargent, Billings,
Burke, Divide, Mckenzie, Mclean,
Mercer, Morton, Mountrail, .Renvllle,
Sioux, Slope and Williams counties.
None of them cast big Democratic
vote. Mclean gave Platou 78 to Sim
on's 81 while Slope gave Simon 81 to
Platou's ten, giving each S8 in the
two counties,
Simon was nominated at the
jamestown convention Of Democrats
and Platou lead ticket opposed to
fusion. If Simon is nominated he will
not make a fight for the election
under the agreement at jamestown.
J. F. T. O'Connor defeated F. 0.
Hellstrom in the contest for the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator by fairly heavy
margin. Returns indicated majori-
ty for him of 4,5OO to 5000 on a
total vote in the state Of 10000 to
$4,000. With the same counties miss
ing as are represented in the guber-
material totals O'Connor had 6,751

For attorney general, D. J. O'Con-

G @. P. LEADERS
BACK FRAZIER
New York Times Correspon.
dent Says Party Chiefs to
Support All COPS

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times has this to say
about the defeat Of Senator McCum-
Der and quotes him as saying that he
will support Lynn J. Frazier for the
United States senate:
Senator Porter j. McCumber,
Chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee and co-author of the pending
tariff bill, today formally conceded
the nomination of Lynn J. Frazie,
for the seat held by him in the sem
ate for nearly a quarter of a century.
In doing so, he said that he would
loyalty support Frazier in the No
vember election, and secuted reports
that the Old Guard Republicans of
North Dakota would unite with the
Democrats in an attempt to elect j.
T. F. O'Connor, the Democratic NOM
inee.
Republican leaders will also an
nounce their intention Of supporting
Frazier, as in the cases of others who
routed conservatives in Republican
primaries and captured nominations
for the senate. The attitude of the
party chiefs is that the nominees rep
resent the views of their respective
communities, and, therefore,, that
support, financial and otherwise, wi il
be extended them by the Republican
Senatorial Campaign Committee.
"The leaders have been greatly dis
appointed over the nomination Of
Frazier, who is considered a radical
of radicals. Only eight months ago
he was displaced as governor of North
Dakota in a recall election. They
foresee a political revolution which
is going to break down the traditions
Of the senate under the operation OF
the uniform primaries, through the
election of men representing radical
and extreme progressive views. The
results in North Dakota and in pre-
vious primaries have convinced them
of the desirability of abandoning uni
form, primaries, but the uprising
against party leaders has made it un-
wise for those opposed to such pri-
maries to follow up their early in
tentions of suggesting some modifl-
cation of the system"
