Monday morning. early after
breakfast, a crew was mustered for
the Caesar Rodney to take large
row-boat to Randslia from Red
Point. The Scouts eagerly collected
duffel and eats for the trip. with
the engine turned and everything in
readiness, the trip was begun. After
smooth trip the boat was deliv-
cred to the Rhoads cottage, and the
Caesar Rodney ran to Chesapeake
City for gas and oil. Here the
Scouts were permitted to land, and
after about thirty minutes started
back for camp. A short stop was
made at the old camp site for water
and then off for Red Point.
A few miles below Town Point a

The old Caesar" rode the swells n

TAMPICo, Mexico.-(By Mail to
United Press) .-Americans in Tam
pico are not worried over the num-
erous reports of attacks by bandits.
While they admit the attacks in
many instances are serious, they
have become so used to the contin-
ual reports that they are not alarm
ed.
The alleged bandit raids are not
even discussed, but instead the con-
versations. when not about oil, are
about golf, baseball. dances, etc.
Most of the Americans in Tampico
live in their own homes. All of the
large companies have special homes
for their officials, which are in
groups or colonies and guarded by
the company's police. Other Amer
leans live in homes in various parts
of the city.
Oil companies have constructed
several ball parks and an "oil
league" plays a regular schedule.
The Los Mangos golf club, an
American institution, has a fine
course of nine holes and a golf
house near the city. This course
was completed May 1. 1922. Garven
Scott McCurdy an oil official and
editor of the Foreign Lee
gionaire, is the director of the club.

after he started his campaign for
the Senatorial office. Both men in

ing an emergency tariff on wool,

opposed the Khan and openly stated
he expected to receive the votes of
the Catholics and Jews. Ferguson.

has waged a picturesque campaign.
He has drawn large audiences and
with peculiarly persuasive eloquence
has invoked an enthusiastic follow
ing. Two years ago Ferguson bolted
the Democratic party and set up
what he called the American party
and was its candidate for President.
Family i'm Line
This action denied Ferguson the
right to have his name on the ball
lot this year unless placed there by
petition. The Democratic State
Executive Committee voted 10 put
his name on the ticket after he an
nounced his wife Mrs. Miriam A.
Ferguson's name for a place on the
ticket. Mrs. Ferguson's name was
later withdrawn in favor OF her
husband. Ferguson stated this action
was taken to insure the family rep
resentatioD at the polls.

DALLAS. Tex, July 22 Omitted
Press) .-Bereft OF the generation
old cause of political battle-pro-
hibition- Texas is taking its cam
paign stimulants from the Ku Klux
Khan and anti-Klan bottle with a
farm-labor coalition chaser.
The issue will be partially settled
at today's first 1922 Democratic pri-
mary. The lines have been closely
drawn on this issue in the Senatorial
campaign where six candidates are
in the field. The two candidates
receiving the highest number Of
votes will enter the run-off prim-
airy, two weeks hence, unless the
unexpected happens and one candi-
date records a majority OF votes.
AS the Senatorial race is about
evenly divided between pro-KlaD
and anti-Klan, the second primary
will doubtless find this question the
sole battle-cry.
In the Gubernatorial race. where
four names will appear on the bai-
lot the Khan does not seem to be
so important a factor. Governor
Neff is out for reelection and sell

the Governorship for a second term

Khan Main Issue
There are too many divisions in
the State il seems for the Ku Klux
Khan issue to determine entirely the
outcome OF tomorrows election, but
Texas primary law requires major
ity nomination and whatever doubt
remains as TO the Klan's strength.
