WASHINGTON, Aug 2S.-Just how much of the hullabaloo in Smith and Hoover camps about raiding the other fellows pet cleo torial vote preserves is to be talk en seriously has not yet appeared.
 It won't until Messrs. Raskob and Work get the warchest of from s3,000,000 to $4,00O,0 ,0OO of which they talk so lightly and begin all loting it to states where 1t can be expected to do the most good. Yet if Work has reason to be- lieve the Solid South win turn up Hoover electorial votes, or if Ras- kob seriously expects to collect eleetorial votes for Smith in the Con Belt, things political are mighty mixed this year.

A Possible Development

A case now before the supreme court of appeal-the celebrated St Louis-O -O'Fallon railrdad matter conceiyably could reset the who'c political stage so far as the farm problem is concerned. Not Of course, in time for the November fight. The highest legal tribunal does not exceed the speed limit that way But the case has the makings of a freight rate decision that would make the farm surplus disposition political tangle mers child's play.
 Should the supreme court make this test case Of tho dispute over Interstate Commerce Commission methods of physical valuation, as some government experts seem to think possible, new jump off in American railway resulatiol would have been reached The roads and the commission differ by about ten billion dollars in .Ee ag- gregate as to value of carrier rroo- erty on which the 5ai per cent guarantee of earnings should 3D. ply ,raIlroad figures being ehat much in excess of the coar.s- sion findings.

Electoral Vote Sig Objective

IL seems more likely from the Washington point of observation that both are gesturing about popular rather than electoral votes. Reduction of previous enemy popu- lar majorlties of long standing in any state is a satisfying accomp- lishment, but that buffers no pres .idential parsnips. It's the eleetor- |al vote, not the popular plurality. that puts men in the White House. Surplus majorities in any state are just excess political baggage. Un- less the two campaign captains see definite promise of political upsets in deep dyed Republican and Democratic territory respec- tive,y, they arc apt to confinc ma- jor activities and expenditures to the electoral debatable ground, the No Mans Land of the election.
 So it may be well for a 2oliti- cal speculator planning to enjoy

Local Gridders
Are Put Through
Heavy Practice

There was action a-plenty on the
football grounds of the local schools
yesterday afternoon. Four teams
weEt through as hard a practice ses-
sion as had been had so far for the
locals.
Coach Raymond Plato OF the Jun
Tor college had his men scrimmaging
with the senior high school squad,
and il was a real scrimmage. II last
cd for nearly an hour. Both teams
came out Of the tussle unhurt and
feeling fit.
Plato takes his squad to Edinburg
tomorrow for a game with the Junior
college there. On paper the locals
do not seem to have 2 chance to bring
back a victory, but there is always
a chance for victory for a hustling
club, such as the Junior eleven have
proven themselves so far under Plato.
Edinburg will have the advantage Of
the locals in weight and experience.
They had a good squad last year, and
reports from Coach Fosters camp
state that the eleven is looking bet
ter this year than last.
Athletic Director Irvine OF the To-
cal public schools, who will accom-
pany the team to Edinourg. expects
TO leave with Plato and his men
about moor for the Broncho camp.
