Blaine. The contest was a tangle of
La Folletteism and Volsteadism. In
the gubernatorial race 1t appeared
that the so-called Madison ring con-
trolled by La Toilette received hard
blow In the nomination of Fred r.
Zimmerman over the 'ring's" candi-

Up in New Hampshire, Senator
George II. Moses, foe Of the World
court, easily won denomination, despite
the fight put up by former Governor
Bass. His Democratic opponent will
be Robert G. Murchie Of Concord, who,
won the nomination over Albert w.
Noone of Peterboro. The Republicans
refused to shatter a forty-eight-year-
old tradition and Gov. John G. Wi
nant was defeated for denomination by
Huntley N. Spaulding Of Rochester
Not since 1873, when the two-year
gubernatorial term was adopted, has
New Hampshire sent governor back
to Office. Q@9 %
Nevada Republicans renominated
Senator Tasker L. Oddie, a World
court advocate, rejecting E. e. Rob-
erts, mayor of Reno. In the Demo-
cratic race for the senatorial nomi-
nation Raymond 7. Baker, who served
under Woodrow Wilson as director of
the minis, held lead over his three
opponents in the four-cornered race.
Senator Cameron of Arizona was
unopposed for denomination, but there
was a hot fight down there over the
governorship. G. w. P. Hunt sought
the Democratic nomination for his
sixth term and at this writing has
commanding lead over his two rivals,
e. E. Ellingwood and ]. J. Cox. The
Democrats named Congressman Carl
Hayden as their senatorial choice. Re

Dispatches from Washington say
that Senator Ashurst of Arizona, Dem
ocrat, declares that If William S. Ware
of Pennsylvania and Frank L. Smith of
Illinois are elected to the senate he
will move to unseat them when their
credentials are presented, on the
ground Of excessive expenditures in
the primaries.
"Wets' found some degree Of salts
faction in the defeat Of Representa-
tive Upshaw (Dem., Ga.) for renomi-
nation. This feeling, however, was
tempered by the fact that they failed

his successful opponent, also is CLASH

ABLEGRAMS indicating that the
~ understanding in European capt.
tails was that the Coolidge administra-
ton was planning vast development
of military aviation led the President
to redefine his position in this and
allied matters. He declared himself
opposed to any military aviation or
naval-building program that might
provoke competitive building by other
nations. So determined is the Presi-
dent to avoid giving other powers any
incentive for naval competition with
the United States that this govern
ment will not build auxiliary war
craft on the basis Of the 5-5-3 ratio
established for capital ships of Great
Britain, the United States, and Japan
by the Washington treaty limiting ma
val ornaments. Under this policy the
American navy may continue below
parity with the British and less than
two-fifths stronger than the japanese.
The President holds that American
naval craft In every class not covered
by the Washington treaty shall be
built with an eye single to the defense
needs of the United States. We are
not to build cruisers, submarines, air
craft, and other auxiliaries to give the
United States as many of these craft
as Great Britain possesses and two
fifths more than Japan either has
built or building. We are to consider,
only the number of ships we need for
defense and to build accordingly. If
that number falls below the treaty
ratio. we are not to worry.
