RACES Walsh,
REED IN CLOSE
CALIFORNIA TILT
Democratic Vote in West to
Settle Three Way
I Campaign Race.
HEAVY POLL EXPECTED
Result to Mark Definite
Turning Point in Party
Presidential Race.
HEAVY POLL EXPECTED
BY GERALD p. OVERTON
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

SAN FRANCISCO, May IA pri-
mary election that will go far to-
ward establishing definitely the
strength Of three candidates for the
Democratic presidential nomination
was under way today. with clear
weather forecasting a record vote.
East, West and midwest repre-
sentatives made a bid for the sup
port of California Democracy at the
forthcoming national convention.
This three cornered fight for the
California Democratic delegation
has been one of the most vigorous
and most interesting of all the pri-
9naries thus far held this year.
Governor Alfred E. Smith of New
York, Senator Thomas j. Walsh of
Montana and Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri are the three can
didateS and adherents Of each have
made intensive drives for the Cali
fornia confidence. Reed is the only
one who has appeared in the State
personally since the campaign
opened.
Result of Vital Import
While most forecasters say the
principal fight is between Smith and
Walsh. it was believed that a victory
for anyone would mark a definite
turning point in the campaign.
Should Smith win, as his man
ayers predict, the Smith forces say
that nomination at Houston will be
gust matter of routine. Some said
that a Smith victory in California
would mean nomination of the New
York Governor by reclamation.
A victory in California for Sen
ator Walsh would place him very
much in the contest for the nomina-
ton. He has entered California
with the support of the William G,
McAdoo forces. Should he be sue
cessful here today. he probably will
be heir to much of the support Nc
Adoo had in the Democratic con-
vention of 1874. A defeat probably
would almost end Walsh's hopes.
Means Much to Reed
Victory for Reed would place him
In the forefront of opponents
against the New York Governor.
With the California delegation safe
ly behind him, the Missouri Senator
might be able to swing over num-
Der of doubtful States.
Smith and Walsh hackers have
centered most of their campaign in
the northern section. Reed has re-
manned in the southern part, where
much of the citizenry is composed
of former Middle Western residents
who would know more of the Kansas
City man.
The closing campaign was quiet
and marked only by claims of the
various organizations. Smith forces
claimed they would win by at least
10000
Heavy Vote Forecast
Voting was to start early and it
was believed generally that with
fair weather 100000 persons would
ballot.
Herbert Hoover is unopposed as
the Republican choice, but Hoover
workers have made an interesting
fight to gain the commerce Sec
rotary an overwhelming popular
Endorsement
The Hoover people believe that a
great Endorsement from California
would be a convincing argument for
Hoover in the States that now are
doubtful.

RAIL UNIONS OF
STATE Line Up
BEHIND HOOVER
Denounce Watson Candi-
daCy as. InSinCere; Praise
Commerce Chief.

Indiana railroad workers today
lined up solidly behind Herbert G.
Hoover'S presidential candidacy.
They denounced Senator James
E. Watson's efforts as "insincere
and a subterfuge by which the del
egateS to the National Republican
convention are to be delivered to
whatever dark horse" presumably
Charles G. Dawes, to be chosen
by the inside ring"
The rail workers formal indorse-
ment of Hoover was contained in
statement issued by the State
legislative representatives of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neerS, R. H. Harrington; Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, A. E. Gordon, and
Order of Railway Conductors, E. l..
Kenney.
Sunny Jim has made repeated
and strenuous denials of the OBVIOUS
fact that he cannot be considered
seriously as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination, said Gordon.

"The vigor with which Watson
( has defended himself against the
charge Of being a stalking horse for
Dawes may arise" Gordon said.
from a guilty conscience, or it may
be due TO the very well-knoWn Wat
son prociVity Of taking himself more
seriously than do his associates in
the national party organization.
Watson is not running for the
/ presidential nmoination whatever
may be his own views on the sub
! ject. He is simply one of the nu-
nlerous 'favorite SON delegate grab
bers which the machine has put up
to prevent the people Of the various
States from expressing their real
choice"
Even if Watson was q serious fac
tor in the presidential race it would
be impossible for us TO support him
against a man of the type of Her
bert Hoover"
Landed as Great Engineer
Hoover was lauded in the rail
workers statement as "the great
est engineer and organizer Of pub
lie and humanitarian enterprise in
history"
The Secretary Of Commerce was
given Endorsement, said the state
ment, because che believes in and
supports collective bargaining: is in
favor of high wages; consistently
has demanded q high and rising
standard of living for the Ameri-
can people, and has devoted his
time, energy and his own purse to
extensive and successful efforts for
the increased efficiency of industry,
with consequent reduced prices to
the consumer"
National railworkers' organiza-
tons Endorsed Hoover's candidacy
from Cleveland Monday.

Director. American Geographical Society
written for Science Seryicel
When Capt. George H. Wilkins
sought the Endorsement OF the
American Geographical Society of
New York for his expedition to I'M
explored parts of the Arctic by air
plane he emphasized the scientific
aspects of his undertaking.
He stressed the possibility of find
ing new land, the making of valu-
able meteorological observations,
the possibility Of taking soundings
after landing on the ice in case
land were not found. and technical
knowledge concerning the Use OF
the airplane as an instrument OF
exploration in the polar regions.
He was singularly well equipped
by practical experience with Stef-
anssOn for taking care of himself
should he be obliged to return to
land on foot because Of the disable
ment Of his plane
In addition, his record during the
World War and otherwise showed
him to be a man of exceptional
courage and reSOurcefulness
Made Notable Flights
Associated with the American
Geographical Society was the De-
troit Aviation Society that supplied
funds, airplanes, and other equip
ment in pursuance Of its object OF
fostering aviation.
His first expedition accomplished
number Of notable flights between
Fairbanks and Point Barrow.
Alaska, more than 500 miles away.
On these flights he crossed unex-
plored portions Of the Brooks Range
under exceptionally trying condi-
TONS
On one occasion he flew more
than 100 miles north of Point Bar
row and saw far beyond, but so far
as the Arctic Basin was concerned
the expedition accomplished little
of value. This was in 1926.
In 1927, he obtained the support
of the Detroit News for further
equipment and the Geographical
Society made a small contribution
in addition to a portable echo
depth-finding device.
The second expedition completed
one important fight out of three it
had been planned to make. He flew
$50 miles northwest Of Point Bar
row into the heart of the unex-
plored territory that lay between
the line Of flight of the Norge and
the track of the jeanette.
After landing upon the Ice he
took a sounding with his echo
depth-finding device. the depth be-
ing 1T847 feet. The possibility of
finding land in this direction thus
was shown very remote.
Restricts Land Area
In 1928, Captain wilkins organ
lied his third expedition, securing
funds for the purchase of a new
Lockheed-Vega machine by the sale
of some of his equipment of earlier
years, supplemented by moderate
contributions from individuals as
well as a contribution from the
American Geographical Society.
He returned to his earlier plan of
using single plane with one engine
and traverSing the Arctic Ocean
from Point Barrow to Spitzhergen
over a route that would take him
through quite unexplored territory
for most of the way.
wilkins tried still further re-
stricted area in which land may be
found and to give a quite revolu,
tionary turn to Arctic exploration
by demonstrating the flexibility,
cheapness, and efficiency of the air
plane on sustained flights in high
ATTITUDES.
