DEMOCRAST Of
STATE FAIL TO

PHOENIX, Sept. 2S.-( -(AP)-Due to a
number of changes made in the demo-
cratic platform when it was presented
to the party councils here today after
it had been prepared. by the platform
committee, it will not be made, public
until tomorrow, Louis b. Whitney, state
chairman of the democratic central
committee, said tonight.
The platform as amended was adopt
ed, but was so interlined that it was
necessary to rewrite it before making
it public. 1t required more than an
hour to read to the council assembled
in the house chambers at the capitol.
1t treats at length on the COLORADO
river question and upon all phases of
the work of the various state depart

town. near the Aqua Prieta river.
E. B. De Lucas, meat Wholesaler,
reports that three horses and two
steers were drowned near his siaught-
er house on the west side of the
city when they tried to swim the
flooded Aqua Prieta river.
According to reports received in
Aqua Prieta Tuesday morning, the
entire valley of the Aqua Prsesa,
Cabullona, Fronteras and San Bern
ardino rivers is under water and the
town of Colonia Morelos is almost
uninhabitable because of the flood.
All these streams are running bank
full because of the incessant rains In
the northern part of Mexico and the
flood water that has come into
Mexico from the United States. Ac-
curate reports of the damage IN the
interior are unavailable because of
telegraph and telephone lines being
down.
On the Nacozari railroad, four
bridges are out between Aqua Prieta
and Fronteras. The Cabullona bridge,
two kilometers south of Fronteras,
which was swept out Monday after
noon, is the largest bridge on the
line. The fact that the telegraph
line is down because of poles being
swept away below Fronteras makes
it impossible to determine the dam
age further south. Railway officials
announce that no trains can be run
for at least week, possibly ten
days. A work train operating under
the, direction of Superintendent G. p.
Windsor, of the Nacozari railroad, Is
working north from Nacozari and it
is expected that another train will
work south from Aqua Prieta as soon
as crew can be recruited.
The highway east from Douglas is
again open to traffic, though it is
extremely slippery and dangerous. A
Pickwiclx stage, carrying eight pass
engers and driven by F. E. Williams,
from Ell Paso, arrived iE Douglas at
8. o'clock Tuesday morning, after be-
ing held up for three hours eight
miles east of Douglas by high water.
williams states that the trip was the
most hazardous he ever made.
The Douglas-Tucson road was
blocked Monday night when a long
bridge across the San Pedro river
at st. David was swept away. High

OF
MICHIGAN GUST
CROSBECK GROUP

DETROIT, Sept. 20 (AP)-Tne po-
litical machine of Governor Alex
ander J. Groesbeck was wrecked TO-
day while 800 policemen kept Groes-
beck supporters from even a glimpse
of the catastrophe.
1t was a jubilant destruction of g
machine that has been driven in
triumph through Michigan republican
ism for nearly six years. AS uni
formed officers stood outside Cass
technical high school denying adj
mittahce to 40S Wayne county sup
porters of the governor, SSS dele-
gates from out-state cities and towns
Were inside loudly acclaiming Fred
w. Green, nominee for governor ana
nominating in its entirety a Green
picked slate of candidates for minor
state offices.
For two years, the Groesbeck ma
chine has given signs of collapsing,
losing an essential part here and
there, yet continuing to lead the way
for Michigan republicanism. The enc
was believed to have come two weeks
ago when Mayor Fred W.. Green of
Ionia, swamped Governor GroesDecx
IN q UWO-ndn race lot the AOIlillist- :
tion for governor; but the machine
showed signs of rejuvenation a week
ago wehn it caused disruption of the
Wayne county convention
Today, however, saw the end. There
was no crash-just a sudden collapse
of the entire machine. Groesbeck
supporters had no voice in con-
vention dominated by Mayor Green
and his allies. The entire Green
slate for minor state offices was
nominated without any serious at
tempt by the Groesbeck group to
prevent it.
Wayne county (Detroit), which
ordinarily has one-third of the voting
strength in the state convention, had
nothing to say today. The conven-
tion, faced with demands to seat
both a Green and Groesbeck dele
cation, turned thumbs down on both
and proceeded to the transaction Of
it's business without NE assistance of
Detroit republican representatives.

SEE LITTLE DANGER

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - (AP) =
! Lacking official reports, the weather
| bureau is inclined to regard the Vera
Cruz hurricane as the elimination of a
threatening disturbance observed sew
eral days ago in the western Carib-
bean.
Advices received subsequently have
contained no indication of it's develop
ment into a full fledged hurricane, but
if it has gathered force and their de-
duction that it is the storm which hit
Vera Cruz today is correct, they see III
j it little danger for American commu-
mites and expect it to dissipate in the
mountains west of the Mexican uort.
The Associated Press dispatch telling
Of the storm caused little surprise at
the bureau despite the fact that this re-
gion seldom is afflicted with hurri-
canes, the steamer Morazan having re-
ported a wind of AZ miles a short dis
tance north of Vera Cruz in message
received this morning. No other obser-
vations in Mexico or nearby waters to-
day have been reported to the bureau.
Another hurricane of peculiar char
acteristics which passed over the
Azores yesterday and last night re-
ported to the bureau today. Indications
Of third tropical disturbance of un"
determined intensity several hundred
miles north of Porto Rico also were
described today by the bureau. 1t was
thought to be moving northwestward
or west-northwestw
The current storm season, bureau Of
ficials remarked tonight, has produced

Republican, Democratic
Senate Campaign Groups
Exchange Verbal Shots

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 (AP)-
Spokesman for the republican and
democratic senatorial campaign COM
mittees today again exchanged verbal
broadsides over issues to be settled
in the November elections
While Chairman Phipps of the re.
publican group asserted that pros
rerity'' was the paramount issue and
that the administration would stand
on it. Senator Bayard of the dem
ocratic organization, declared that re-
publican claim of prosperity must
be "attractive' to thousands of idle
mill hands in New England.
Senator Phipps, who conferred with
the president at the White House
last night said as a result Of a re-
cent western trip he was convinced
that the people had undiminished
confidence in Mr.. Coolidge and be-
lieved he should be supported by a
majority in congress.
Senator Bayard said Phipps' state
ments as to prosperity would be
received by western farmers with
their tongues in their cheeks" and
asked whether the republican spol1es-
man thinks such statements as he
gave out today will be ratified when
the ballots are cast in November
Senator Phipps said reports fail to
indicate any recession in repu1YI-
can sentiment, even in the border
states of Kentucky, Oklahoma, Mary
land and Arizona, adding that 1T
will not be denied that the whole
story of national prosperity is a
record of republican achievement" anc

SEATTLE GETS NEW
STEAMSHIP SERVICE

R. K. Brown Jr., Seattle district
manager Of the General Steamship
Corporation, has received word of the
establishment Of new steamship SER
vice for Seattle. H. S. Scott, presl-
dent OF the corporation, has COM
pleted arrangements in Europe with
Westfal, Larsen & Co. of Bergen,
Norway, for regular berth service
from Seattle and other Pacific Coast
ports to the East Coast Of South
America via the Strait Of Magellan.
The Leikanger, which will load on
the Pacific Coast during March, will
be the first vessel Of the service to
call at Seattle, and will be followed
in April by the Evanger, the Har-
danger in May and the new motor
ship Brandanger in June and the new
motorship Hojanger in July. West
fal, Larsen & Co. is reported to be
building two new motorships for this
service.

INTEREST is being shown all along
i the Pacific Coast in the contest
being waged over the appointment
Of a Shipping Board commissioner
from the Northwest, to succeed Bert
E. Haney of Oregon.
Senator Wesley L. Jones of Wash
ington and j. j. Underwood, a rep
resentative of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce, called at the White
House January and urged upon the
President that Puget Sound be given
reorganization in the appointment OF
a Shipping Board commissioner from
the Northwest. Senator Jones and
Mr.. Underwood spoke especially in
behalf of Harry Y. Saint, who for
merly was connected with the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce and who is
now chairman of the Stevedoring and
Terminal committee of the Shipping
Board Emergency Fleet Corporation.
Senator Jones told the President
that the appointment should go to
the State of Washington, indepen-
dent of political considerations. He
pointed out the Importance of Seat
tie which now handles the greatest
Shipping Board tonnage Of any port
on the Pacific Coast.
Although he expressed the hope
that conditions would permit the ap-
pointment of Mr. Saint, Senator
Jones suggested that If it was nee
essary to choose Democrat, the
place should go to Warren L. Canaan
Of Seattle. 1t is reported that there
| is possibility Of another vacancy on
the Shipping Board in the near future
and the retirement of Republican
member from the East may make
possible the selection of two Repub-
licans from the Pacific Coast. Presi-
dent Coolidge would welcome the op.
portunity to name two Republicans
from the West Coast. It is believed
that one Of the Pacific Coast appoint
ments is virtually settled insofar as
the President Is concerned. Philip
s. Teller, San Francisco Republi.
can, recommended by united Califor-
MIA interests, has been summoned to
the White House for a personal in
terview with the President. This is
regarded as tantamount to appoint
unless something unexpected hap
pens. The appointment Of Mr.. Teller
would require the selection OF a
Democrat from the North Pacific
Coast, provided the rumored addi-
tional vacancy does not appear.
The question is what Democrat will
be selected? Senator McNary has
presented the name Of Marshall N.
Dana as the choice of Oregon bust
ness interests, and Senator Jones has
presented the name Of Warren l..
Gazzam of Seattle. Mr.. Dana is op.
posed by organization Democrats in
Oregon on the ground that they were
not consulted. Mr.. Gazzam mas the

In competition for the 1924 Il. II.
Hartman gold medal for the best
record In railroad accident proven

receiving honorable mention.
-Four systems, one of which was the

American railway travel is the won
der OF the world, for safety, low cost,
convenience and service. One can
travel with less risk than is incurred
in eating dinner or reading a paper
at home--for the railroad always
has one or many men on watch
against the unusual things, and at
home there is no such guard.
Part of the credit is due to the en-.
ployes who have invested their saw
ings In the road securities, and who
have made 1t their own" partnership

come more difficult every year, to in
terest any one In any plan to fight"

MANY men who clean and
IVA grease their own cars are
annoyed by the condition of their
hands after this dirty job Is fin-
ished. It is so difficult to clean
such grimy hands that sometimes
the dirt, which is deeply ground
into the creases. has to be left to
wear Off This type of dirt Is UNI
usually persistent and once 1t Is
firmly attached to the skin 1t is al
most impossible to remove. It Ia
easier to prevent than to remove 1t.
A very simple method OF pro-
lection for the hands consists in
coating them with layer of soap
before starting to work Wet the
hands thoroughly, partially dry
them, and then rub cake OF soap
over the entire surface especially
covering the nails. With all the
crevices filled with soap the dirt
will not be able to penetrate so
deeply, but will adhere to the soap
and will wash off quite easily.
This method does away with the
necessity for using harsh and abb
rasive soaps or securing powders.
Wnlcn are SO Haru Oh lne AdAoo'
For soaping the hands just use
the regular toilet soap found In the
bathroom.
When the time comes to wash
up, simply dip the hands in warm
water, and work up a lather with
the soap which is already there.
After removing the worst of the
dirt and grease. wash the hands as
usual with more soap and warm
water.
