mer University of Texas law pro-
fessor, as tentative candidate in
the race for United States senator on
a progressive republican ticket,
against the nominee CT the demo-
cratic party to be selected August 26,
broadened the horizon of Texas
politics.
road Commissioner Earle B. Mayfeld,
leader in the first democratic prim-
ary and run-off opponent of former
Governor James E. Ferguson. when
he organized and operated the oil
and gas conservation bureau OF the
state railroad commission, after it
was created upon recommendation of
Butte and others. Butte practiced

For Broad Issues.
"If l enter the race" said DIR. Butte

tions rather than on petty politics."

Meanwhile. Railroad Commissioner
Mayf1eld, who led Ferguson by 81 900
votes in the first democratic primary,
and former Governor Ferguson, who
led Senator c. A. Culberson by about
$4,000 votes. are pounding each on
the issues of his first campaign. May

own race for reelection to the Texas

P0|NDEXTER FINDS
APATHY PREVAILS
Campaign For and Against
Senator in Washington
Marked by ListIessness.

TACOMA, Wash, August ia
general apathy has settled down over
Washington state in so far as mat
ters political are concerned. Senator
Poindexter has made a swing through
the southwestern part of the state.
He has been given assurances OF his
nomination in this section. but no
where has there been any great
amount of enthusiasm.
The opponents CT the senator are
meeting the same kind of reception.
Efforts to enthuse the campaign are
futile. 1t Is generally conceded that
PoindeXter'S nomination is assured
unless there is a tremendous up
heaval between now and September
II. Mrs. Axtell Is making good
campaign. Both Judge Austin and
Col. George Lamping are working
hard. George Stevenson is gum
are only splitting the anti-Poindexter
strength.
One Real Congress Contest.
The only real contest in the con-
gressional districts is to be found in
the first Here John j.. Miller will
find considerable opposition. Former
Representative j. w. Bryan of Brem
erton filed during the week in opposi-
tion to Miller. Phillip Tindall of
is former progressive party leader.
Tindall is comparatively new in state
politics. He is a returned soldier and
at present a member of the Seattle
council.
Representative Albert johnson will
not even make a campaign He is
practically without opposition. Q. NJ.
Nelson has filed his declaration. but
is making no effort to seek votes.
Representatives Hadley. Webster
and Summers are all conceded renom-
ination.
Former Representative c. c. Dill
has two opponents for the democratic
nomination. but neither has started
any campaign, while Dill has the
state we'll covered with working or
ganizations. His nomination. even at
this early date. is conceded
Dill and Poindexter In "FinaI."
General feeling throughout the
state is that Dill and PoindeXter will
fight it out at the general election.
How close the fight will be depends
largely upon the percentage of the
anti-PoindeXter vote cast at the pri-
mary election which will go to Dill.
The democrat will draw a heavy
is some talk in farmer-labor ranks
that Mrs. Axtells defeat for the
G. o. P. nomination will carry her
organization into the democratic
party ranks behind Dill. There is
also a movement among the democrats
and farmer-labor people to fuse after
the primaries upon all congressional
seats. picking in each district the
strongest candidate. regardless of
party. and place him upon the demo-
cratic ticket. To reach this end
means that candidates nominated by
the primary ballots will have to
gracefully withdraw and their places
be filled by the central committees.

PUZZLE IN DELAY
BY HOOS|ER c. 0.P.
Speaking Campaign Post
poned and Issues Become
Somewhat Uncertain.
Special Dispatch to The Star,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Aug 12-All
kinds of theories are being advanced
about the decision of the republican
state organization to postpone its
speaking campaign. Announcement of
the postponement followed immedi-
ately on the return of Albert ]. Bev-
eridge. republican senatorship NOM
inee. from his vacation in Colorado.
But more surprising than the an
nouncement was h speech made in
southern Indiana this week by Mr..
Beveridge in which he hit foreign
alliances. 1t was announced by the
republican state committee that there
probably would be no political
speeches by Mr.. Beveridge until the
latter part OF September.
Republicans say that foreign al
liances' is not political subject. but
some of the democrats point out that
foreign alliances" was one of the
favorte themes of Mr.. Beverdge in
his primary election campaign. There
is good deal of curiosity as to what
subjects Mr. Eeveridge will discuss
in future ''non-p -politicai addresses.
Avoid Political Discussion.
But generally outside strictly par
tisan circles the belief appears to ex-
ist that both sides are anxious TO
keep away from actual political dis
cussion just now and to devote their
time to organization work which is
going forward at the rate of several
district meetings week for each
party. Democrats assume and say
that the republicans are a little chary
about Just what position shall be
taken on the tariff. Several large
newspapers that circulate i'll Indiana
have been bearing down hard re-
Gently on what they call the iniquity
Of the tariff action that is being
taken at Washington. Republicans
have been doing their best out in the
congressional districts to get the
voters to look with favor on the
tariff bill and have even started
motion picture film showing republic
cans of Congress at work.
1t is apparent that the Republicans
are not just sure what impression
the tariff measure is going to make
on the voters and particularly on the
farmers.
Governors Coal Program.
Another thing that is important
and is in the list of uncertainties is
Gov. McCray's program on the coal
strike. The governor has sent about
1000 state troops to Staunton. Ind.
in the coal fields and has declared
martial law there. The troops are
there to guard mines where it is ex-
pected coal will be produced for i'm
mediate state demands. Thus far
the governor has received praise for
his determined action from a number
of civic organizations mostly in In
dianapolis. But at Terre Haute in
the coal fields large protest meetings
have been held.
There is no doubt that the COVER
nor's action will bring praise from
many quarters. Another situation of
uncertainties is that relating to
taxes. 1t has become necessary for
the state board of tax commissioners
to declare horizontal increases of ap-
praisements in many counties. This
action has been taken in the last
week and many meetings are being
held and protests are coming in. The
tax commissioners assert that they
will fight to finish any adverse ac-
ton that may be taken by the
counties.

TRADE CONDITIONS CHANGE

During the preparation of the
tariff schedules changing condi-
tions were emphasized by com
PARSONS made. For instance, ex-
ports 70 the Orient were found to
be diminishing, and investigation
showed that the Orient was now
manufacturing products which it
formerly purchased. These again
were more largely supplied by
Japan whose manufacturers had
rapidly increased through the OPP
portunities created by the World
War. Loss of export trade witt
the Orient has increased compc
tition, for other markets, trade
with South American countries
for example, having greatly i'll
creased in products needed for tho
development of their own re
sources.
Such changing conditions mad
palmer the necessity of bette
trade organizations. While ex
port companies today introduce
and push the sale of American
products in foreign countries,
there must be associations con-
stantly to study conditions ii
them, SO that when they produce
themselves other products which
they do not produce and which
they may need may be offered.
Before the war. German prospec-
tors did this most successfully
and her foreign trade continually
showed net gains despite losses
here and there Germany depend
ed on her consuls, too, and per-
haps it might not be bad idea
for the United States to train such
of her government agents.
