ROOSEVELT HINTS
POLITICAL MOVE
Ready for Fight, He Says, on
Return From Hunting Trip
tc Himalayas.

NEW YORK, March 3.-Theodore
Roosevelt, who nearly lost his life in
his successful hunt for the rare owls
poll in the Himalayas, is back in New
York eft for a fight or frolic."
He arrived last night aboard the
Berengaria with his brother Kermit
and their wives, who helped them
hunt tigers on part of the trip. The
long boards that the brothers grew as
a protection against mountain biz
yards were gone. At times the boards
froze solidly, shielding their Threats
from snow and wind.
Would Not Explain Remark.
Theodore would not elaborate on
what he meant by being ready for a
fight, but did say he would continue
to devote himself to public service. His
last political appearance was in 1924
when he was defeated for Governor OF
New York by AL Smith.
Wall Street reports a wager of
81 900 to $4,000 that Theodore will be
the next Governor of New York. The
Street also reports q bet of $4,000
to $4,000 that Gov. Smith will be re-
elected despite his announcements
that he will not run again.
Theodore nearly lost his life when
he was caught in a snow slide in
crossing the Himalayas. Steady nerves
and quick thinking enabled him to end
his swift descent down the mountain
on top of the slide instead of under it.
Fine Specimens Obtained.
Four large rams of the owls poll
mountain sheep were obtained, all
having horns measuring more than
so inches from tip to tip. In addition
the trophies include so specimens OF
larger mammals and 500 smaller
types.
Asked what owls poll tasted like.
Theodore said:
Almost anything would have tasted
good after hunting owls poll. Trying
to stalk them in their mountain re-
treats is real hard work"

BRENNAN OUT FOR SENATE.
Democratic Leader i'm Chicago De-
clares His Platform Is 'Wet."

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 3.-George f.
Brennan, one of the leaders In the
campaign to nominate Gov. Al Smith
at the last Democratic convention, has
announced his candidacy for the
United States Senate, terning it "a
direct. popular referendum in Illinois
on Volsteadism.
The heir to the political mantle Of
the late Roger Sullivan declared that
his election would assure congress
sional action upon this national evil.
When Illinois votes in favor of end
ing the disgrace of VOlsteadism the
Federal lawmakers will no longer be
afraid to vote their convictions.
LAS my friend, AL Smith, has said,
great ma iority Of the members of
the National House and Senate have
dry Threats and wet bellies.
Brennan Upsets Tradition.
Mr.. Brennan's candidacy marks the
second time in quarter of a century
that a tradition has been broken. For
long it has been the custom of the
leader Of Illinois Democracy to sit
quietly behind the scenes without run
ming for office himself. Roger Sulli-
van first shattered the tradition, in
1914, when he ran for Senator. Bren-
nan is Democratic national commit
teeman from Illinois, and has risen to
national prominence in the party. 1t
is the first time he has stood for pub
lie office since 1892, when he ran for
recorder of VIII County
The State primaries are set for
April 13. On the Republican side the
candidates are Senator William b. Nc
Kinley and Col. Frank L. Smith, with
the World Court measure, for which
Senator Mckinley voted, one of the
leading issues.
The wet and dry issue was injected
into the campaign in vigorous terms
by the Democratic candidate. whose
platform also included declara tons for
home rule for Chicago and a defense
of his participation in bipartisan
alliances.
"All human experiences prove the
futility of attempting to regulate
morals by statute he said. 'Vol-
steadism is but another example. The
results are failure and a national
scandal. The whole country rings
stroyinc respect for all law and
government. 1t is corrupting the lives
of boys and girls alike"
Mr.. Brennan was instrumental in
bringing Gov. Smith to Chicago
recently for a speech interpreted in
some quarters as the opening gun in
his candidacy for the presidential
nomination in 1928. 1t was indicated
at Democratic headquarters that Gov.
Smith and Mayor Walker of New
York would be among the out-of-
State speakers to boost the Brennan
candidacy.

Secretary Tells Farm Work
ers Cooperative Plan Is
Sound Remedy.

by tl6 ASSOCLdteu
Characterizing the cooperative
movement In the marketing Of farm
products as remedy for some Of the
farmers troubles that was "econon.
ically sound" Secretary of Agricul-
ture Jardine specifically Endorsed the
Haugen cooperative marketing bill in
an address to agricultural extension
workers today.
The Haugen bill was the only one
of the many farm relief measures
now before Congress which was re-
ferred to by the Secretary, who said
it had received and would continue to
receive his support. The bill pro-
vides for the creation of a division of
cooperative marketing in the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Two Main Results.
1t would. Secretary Jardine said,
have two main results. 1t would en-
able the department to use staff Of
marketing experts to advise the farm
ers through their own cooperative
organizations and it would enable
the farmers to keep in closer touch
with the department and to give it
the benefit of their advice.
Agricultural research had in the
past been chiefly directed toward
production, the Secretary declared
bat 1t was now time that the mar
kettng end of the farmers problems
should receive more attention. He
did not, he emphasized, consider CO.
operative marketing as panacea
hut through it's bringing together of
farm opinion toward a common end
he believed 1t would be of great as
sistance
Farmers had suffered through their
apparent inability to arrive at a
common program. Secretary Jardine
asserted. expressing his belief that
when they came to substantial agree
ment in their demands they should
be heard.
Chance to Be Heard.
He laid much stress on the adj.
vantages of cooperation through its
giving individuals and groups a
chance to be heard. expressing en-
phatic approval of the policy of fire.
quent conferences with all shades of
opinion as calculated TO discoura ge
unwise action on the part OF those
likely, as he expressed it, ito go off
on tangent"
The problems of farmers TODAY
were not new, the Secretary stated
They have existed for nearly 100
wears, but events since the war have
given them greater prominence"
The Secretary's address was given
before a conference of extension
workers from IL Northwestern States.
which is meeting here for a three
day session.

Underhill bill Is an insurance meas
