Washington, February Is - APP
proach of the national political con-
vention shows quite clearly that the
United States Senate is still train
ing camp for those who aspire to the
Presidency. Each week finds the list
of contestants for this high office
increased by the enrolment of Sen
about the senatorial candidates is
that they come from thickly popu-
lated states.
1t seems to be an unwritten rule
that aspirants for the Presidential
nominations must have the advantage
of geographical location regardless OF
their other qualifications. There are
many outstanding men in public life
coming from sparsely settled sections
who have an enviable public record
but are seldom taken seriously by
their respective parties because they
were not sufficiently forsighted to
settle in a more populous area. 1t
is the old story of sectional and state
pride in the ''favorite son..
The Senate of the United States
has contributed two of its members
to serve as Chief Executive of the
country. The late President Harding
resigned his office to take over the
Presidency, and Mr.. Coolidge was
automatically promoted from his post
as presiding officer of the Senate
in 1928. The Presidential candidates
now in the Senate are principally Re-
publicans, including Senator Curtis,
the Republican leader, Senator Willis
of Ohio, and Senator Watson of In
diana has just announced his can
didacy. There are two or three Dem
ocratic Senators who have been men,
toned as available candidates.
Another conflict has been added to
the troubles of the Senate and House
over the ship bill. The Senate passed
a bill few days ago providing for
government operation of the mer-
chant marine. They persisted in the
measure though the President told
them in unmistakable terms that he
was against the proposition and
would not hesitate to utilize the
Presidential veto. The House bill
calls for private operation of shipping
lines and the differences between the
two Houses are SO marked that il
will be difficult to bring out a ship
ping bill satisfactory to both Houses
without one group making a complete
"about-face."
The political leaders in the various
districts who have the responsibility,
of delivering the vote of their com
munities to their party's candidate.

is entirely too meddlesome. The.

lOLdl MILES -----lC,lOU 1911 20
A recent report made by Mr.. Bah
cock stated that in the trunk highway
system there were 934 miles paved,
1874 miles oiled or tarred, 4,a37 miles
graveled, and 279 miles sand clay
surfaced making a total of 6,543

mileage however, is light gravel and
not adequate to the heavy traffic
which the trunk highways carry.
The latest available reports on
county roads show 1915 miles sand

and 81 miles paved. The town roads,
according to the last reports, had a
total of 3,S45 miles sand-clay sur

Taking the four classes of roads

No Reason Furnished for
Exchange of Star Sec
ond Stacker.
GIANTS GET 2 PLAYERS
Hogan and WEIGH Figure in
Transaction.
By Frank Getty

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE
Strangest and most inexplicable
trade in the history of modern
baseball has been negotiated
between the New York Giants
and the Boston Braves. Rogers
Hornsby, who was slated to
manage the Giants, and who
was valued at 100000, goes to
Boston in exchange for Francis
Hogan, a catcher, and Jimmy
Welch, an outfelder.
The baseball world was shaken to
its foundation today when the trans
fer of Hornsby was announced, yet
none could furnish a reason.
Third Most Valuable
Hornsby was one of the batting
leaders during the 1927 campaign,
was voted the third most valuable
player in the National League, and
it was generally believed that since
he had proved himself a brilliant
field general he would succeed John
j. McGraw.
The players whom the Giants re-
ceive in exchange for 1.-The Rajah"-
since it was stated specifically no
cash was involved in the deal-are
youngsters upon whom McGraw long
has had his eye.
Hogan according to a recent state
ment by McGraw, is one Of the
best catchers in baseball. But the
fact remains that half a dozen
Hogans and as many WelcheS would
not be worth one Rogers Hornsby in
the open market.
McGraw' and Charley Stoneham,
owner of the Giants, issued a signed
statement to the effect that the
deal was put through "for the good
of the club"
Judge Emil Fuchs, president OF
the Boston Braves, who came here
to complete the deal. naturally was
elated. With Farrell at shortstop
and Hornsby at second base, the
braves will have one of the best
keystone combinations in baseball.
Hornsby Surprised
Just why the Giants decided to
part company with HornSby, whom
they obtained from st. Louis just
a year ago, may never be known.
Hornsby himself does not know.
ut was a surprise to me-" said
Rogers, when informed he was to
go to Boston.
AS a result Of the trade, it is
likely that the Giants will play
Andy Cohen, the Jewish inf1elder
from Texas, who did so well in the
International League last season at
second base.
It long has been McGraw's am
bition to develop Jewish star to
attract New Workers to the Polo
Grounds, and with the departure of
Hornsby, the Giants manager has
his opportunity.
