SIX IN FIELD
FOR COMMITTEE
Keen Contest For Endorse
ment at N0npartisan eau.
Gus Tonight Forecast

Six candidates for Nonpartisan
support for chairman of the Repub-
lican state central committee lOOmed
today as politicians from all parts
Of the state gathered here prepara-
tory to the meeting tomorrow after
noon at which the committee will be
organized.
Although it appeared improbable
that N0npartisan contests would be
so warm as to split the organization
and give the Independent or Real
Republicans control Of the commit
tee. it was apparent that the contest
for endorsement ut the N0npartisan
caucus will be keen.
1t Is generally conceded that the
Nonpartisans will muster enough
votes to control the committee, al
though various partisans were not in
agreement as to their majority.
Claims Of Nonpartisan leaders were
that they would have q majority Of
from three to five. Twenty-Five
votes are necessary to control II each
Of the 40 districts IL represented.

Independent members Of the COM
mittee will meet this evening at the
Grand Pacific hotel while N0nparti-
eans have planned q meeting at the

National Issues and Figures
Share Spotlight With
Local Problems

San Francisco. Aug. 3l-LP-Na-
tional issues and figures shared the
spotlight with local personalities and
problems as ballcting began in Cali
fornia's primary election today.
The world court. the tariff and
Coolidge were keynotes Of the con-
test for the Republican nomination
for United States senator, in which
Samuel NJ. Shortridge, incumbent. is
opposed by Robert NJ. Clarke and
Representative Walter F. Lineberger.
ShOrtridge, seeking second term on
platform of protective tariff for
California products, has stressed his
consistent support Of President
Coolidge and the Republican plat
form. Clarke, backed by Hiram
johnson, Shortridge's colleague in the
senate, has made his campaign an
anti-world court platform, stressing
in addition his own advocacy Of strict
prohibition enforcement. He in
dorsed the Anti-SalOon League.
Young Opposes Richardson
In the Republican gubernatqrial
contest, Lieutenant Governor G. G.
Young, also actively supported by
Senator johnson, opposes Governor
Friend W. Richardson, economy and
law and order candidate for sec.
|ond term.
Tammany was the issue on which
candidates for the Democratic guber-
Material and senatorial nominations
locked horns. It was injected into
the campaign by John b. Elliott. back
ed by William Gibbs McAdoo. Elliott
and Carl Alexander Johnson, the Nc

ed their opponents, lsadore Dock

A mandamus action filed in the su-

made returnable on that date by or

Reichert alleged that had all the

such action.

It was said at the secretary OF

Substantial reductions in telephone
toll rates, effective October l in
North and South Dakota, Minnesota,
Iowa and Nebraska have been made
by the Northwestern Bell Telephone
company, the state railroad board an.
nounced today.
The new schedules not only reduce
the cost of service but also change
conditions under which service now
10 rendered.
One change is in the application Of
person-tO-persOn rates on collect
calls. Under the present system all
"collect" calls take the person-t to-
person rate. The new schedule per-
mits such calls to be made on a sta
tion-tO- station rate basis.
In addition to modifying the rates
for calls between points in North Da-
kota the new schedules make reduc-
tions in rates on calls from North
Dakota to points in other states.
Lower Rates After 7 p. m.
Other changes are made in the
schedules for report charges on toll
calls and in the rates applicable dur
ing the evening hours. At present
calls made between z and $3.50 p. nj.
cost the same as calls made in the
daytime. The new schedule provides
q rate Of IS per cent of the day rate
for that period. Between $3.50 p. m.
and 4:3O q. nj. night rate Of so
per cent of the cost of daytime calls
is made applicable.
Reductions in report charge costs
vary with the distance Of the call and
are in addition to reductions made
last June.
In its application to the state rail
road board the company said: "In
station to station day rates there is
no change to 1876 miles, beginning at
1856 miles some Of the rates between
1876 and 152 miles are reduced five
cents. Above 162 miles the reduc-
tion increases with the distance at
the rate Of 20 cents for each 06
miles. At 800 miles the reduction is
IS cents. Station TO station night
rates are reduced because of the
change in the day rates on which
they are based"

Conditions applying to station-to-
station calls sent collect, are: "This
