HOOTERS COLORADO
 RIVER STAND MAKES
 HIM POPULAR NEVADA
EDITORS NOTE: This is the twelfth of a series of stor- ies on the political situation in the various states.)

CARSON CITY, Nevada, Aug. 31 Nevada, long uncertain political ly, but generally found iu the Democratic column, reversed form considerably in 1926 in favor of the Republicans and today is said to have a distinct personal friend ship for Herbert Hoover.
 Nevada Republicans are declar- ed to be solidly supporting Hoover in his Presidential aspirations. i Whether the states friendship for him, based on the fact that he is Ia California neighbor and an advo cate of Colorado river development. will penetrate Democratic ranks is question that is up to the Mo- vember ballot boxes.
 Republicans assert that their Democratic opponents go into the campaign under a heavy handi- cap. The former point to the state treasury scandal of two years ago in which more than half a million dollars were found to have disappeared and for which trio l of Democratic leaders, including Ed. Malley, state treasurer, were sent to prison for long terms.
 This state of great distances and sparse population, where man 300 miles away is a neighbor, has produced group of candidates 1 on both sides of the political fence, would be hard to surpass in the thickest centers of population.
 Outstanding figure in the field is Sen. Key Pittmal. Democrat, de- scribed by political friend and foe alike as brilliant, lovable and a born leader Pittman's leader ship, influence and personality are being counted on heavily as bull warks for Smith in the latter's struggle with Hoover for the Ne vada vote.
 Samuel Platt, prominent attor- ney of Reno, is Pittman's Repubu- can opponent. He and Pittman clashed on the same battle-ground ! in 1916 and Pittman, won. Platt tried for the nomination again in 1922, but was eliminated at the primary.

PAYS PENALTY
 FOR SHAVING HIS DAUGHTER
Seattle Man Goes to Scaf- fold Protesting lnno-
 cence to Last SLAYER OF DAUGHTER SAYS HE NOT GUILTY Ascends Gallows C m y and Asks that Execu- ton Be Done Quickly

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Aug. 31.-r-Just as the first faint traces of dawn .were showing in the sky here this morning, Wallace c. Bob Gaines mounted the scaf- fold in the State Penitentiary to pay with his life for the murder of his daughter, Sylvia Gaines. Gaines maintained his inno- cence to the last.
 There were only a few news papcrmen, prison officials and at tendauts grouped about the scaf fold.
 Preparations for the hanging were made rapidly and the execu- ton is said by authorities to have been one of the swiftest to take place here.
 Gaines Is Calm
 Gaines walked from the cell fianked on one side by prison of < ss.ia's. ana sos the cther bY sFrsr1s Novak, Prison Evangelist, who attended him during the night.
 The condemned man walked with a firm step and as he mounted the gallows, he was a little ahead of the rest and look ed back to see if they were fol- lowing.
 His Last Words
 Asked if he had anything to say, Gaines said: "Get it over with as quickly as you can"
 These were his last words.
 Immediately the mask was drawn over his face and the trap was sprung. The body will prob ably be sent to Seattle Saturday for burial.
 Declares Innocence
 Novak told the newspapermen that in conversation with Gaines "Gaines declared he was inno- cent. Up to the last moment he maintained he was not guilty of the crime. Most of the night was spent in praying. He con fessed to me upon my earnest re- quest a few minor sins having no bearing on the crime of which he was accused"
 Novak said Gaines told him 'I am sorry I was drinking that night" but in the same breath denied the crime.
 Wife Weeps
 From the prison, Novak went to a hotel room where William Gaines, a brother, and Mrs. Eli zabeth Gaines, wife of the dead man were waiting.
 As the hour for the execution struck, Mrs. Gaines said: "It's near time isn't it?"
 She wept quietly when told fl was all over.
 William Gaines was much dis tracted and was pacing the floor in a hysterical manner. He was prevailed upon to calm down but he often put his hand up to his neck as though rope was about his own.

 Farm Relief
 After warning that political ser pents were abroad seeking to poi son the minds of thoughtless peo- ple," Senator Robinson plunged di- rectly into the farm relief ques- tion. Referring to this as per haps the most important issue of the campaign, he reviewed the history of the Republican activi- ties regarding agriculture. and said the facts proved that the Republican party is either incapa- ble of successfully dealing with the question or has deliberately violated it's express promise to the farmers of the country"
 "Mr. Hoover" he declared. "as the Presidents trusted adviser. was perhaps more directly respon- sible for the failure of farm relief legislation during the eight years referred to than for any other sin gle political issue. ,
 Applause and Cheers The Senator's declaration that the time has come when "an eco- homie adventure is justified in be- half of millions" of farmers was received with applause and cheers echoing and re-echoing through the valley between towering ranges of the ozark Mountains. Turning to Prohibition, Senator Robinson also received applause when he quoted that part of the party platform as adopted by the Houston convention and declared that from that plank the presiden- tial nominee nor any other respon- sible leader had departed

He spoke briefly Many prominent Democratic leaders from all over | the United States were at the meeting. including committees man from each State and Terri tory.
