S
CAMPAIGN
NOT EASY
West Virginia Senator to
Enter Ranks of "Fav0-
rite Son" Candidates.
COURSE UNDECIDED
Secretary May Decide to-
Contest Delegation of
Southern State.
By PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Corrsepondentl

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover's cam
paign managers faced another diff
cult political situation today as q
result of Senator Goff s decision to
seek the 10 delegates of his home
state, West Virginia.
Hoover S friends say Goff's act
may be accepted as another move
of the senatorial favorite son group
working against the Hoover candi-
dacy.
At his headquarters today it was
said unofficially that Hoover has
not yet decided whether he will 90
into West Virginia against Goff, as
he did in Indiana against Senator
Watson and in Ohio against the late
Senator Willis.
Hoover has many friends among
West Virginia Republicans and had
been expected to enter the primary
there May %. Considerable senti-
ment was reported in the state by
scouts for former Governor Lowden
of Illinois.
1t had been expected generally,
however, that Lowden might remain
out of the primary to avoid any Bit
terness which might be aroused by
a straight-out contest with Hoover.
Thus far neither Hoover nor Low
den are lined up against each other
in any of the 81 state primaries.
Allied with Opposition
Goff is associated closely with the
Watson Curtis Dawes group in the
senate and is accepted as a sympa-
thizer with their views.
On the other side of the Republic
can "favorite son picture" the in
dependent Republicans of the west
are lining up against Hoover. Sena-
tor Norris of Nebraska is to COM
pete virtually uncontested for his
state delegation in the primary
there next Tuesday.
Idaho Republicans have, indicated
they will put forward Senator Borah
as their favorite son. Norris and
Borah are not sympathetic to Hoov-
cr.
If all the favorite sons should win
their home delegations they would
have a two sided group of more
than 100 delegates against Hoover
in the convention.
For that reason some of Hoover's
friends are counselling him to 90
into West Virginia against Goff in
an effort to get what delegates he
can.

Urges Repairs At
Well In Desert

"Something should be done in re-
gard to the water system at Bealls'
Well, - declared Deputy Sheriff
Freeman, in recounting the hurried
trip to that place which he took a
few days ago with Undersheriff
Underwood in going to the aid of
Il stranded prospector.
There is plenty of water at the
well and many persons iourneying
about in that vicinity have depend
ed upon it to refill their canteens
and refreshen them after trips
through the desert lands there. But
the water is now beyond reach, the
pump being out of order and there
being no possible way to obtain the
water.
"In the recent case of an old
prospector, had he been able to get
water his life would not have been
Jeopardized. 1t so happens that the
case turned out we'll in the end but
even though his failure to obtain
water did not cost him his life, it
did cost him several hours of dis
comfort which would otherwise have
been alleviated.
"With the warm weather spell
nearing, the necessity of making
this water available to the traveller
is apparent. 1t would cost but lit
tie to the county to have the pump
fixed or a new one installed and it
might be the means of Sparing Il life
or two.

CHICAGO, April With only
three days remaining before the pri-
mary election, Chicago's warning
political factions drew deep
breath today and prepared for final
out bursts of violence.
Challenges, warnings and accusa-
tions were hurled back and forth as
usual but the recent lack of activi
ty among the bomb squads has puZ-
zlcd those who had looked for few
er words and more "pineapples. .
1t has been Il whole week since a
bomb explosion has furnished the
factions with an opportunity to ac-
cuse each other.
The unexpected quietness, some
believed, presaged a storm that may
break forth on primary day despite
the augmented police force of 80
600 which will guard the polling
places.
Mayor William Hale Thompson,
meanwhile, speaking at a political
rally, renewed his warnings that if
Judge John A. Swanson defeated
Robert f. Grove for the Republican
nomination for states attorney, he
would consider resigning.'
"If Swanson is nominated, -
Thompson said, 81 expect political
indictments of myself and other Of
ficers to result
County Judge Edmund X. Jarecki,
head of Cook county's election com
missioners, said he had discovered
q plot to steal $4,000 to 100000
votes through fictitious registration.
He charged the Small-Thompson-
Grove faction with responsibility.
Commissioner Hughes announce
mcnt that 10000 special guards -
the largest police force ever mobil-
lied in Chicago-would protect vot-
ers following failure of I. S. Dis
trict Marshal Palmer Anderson to

General Sargent to swear in five
J hundred additional deputy sheriff:

Girl. PROVES
TO Be HEROINE
AT LOCAL FIRE

While it was rumorcd about the
city that the fire which occurred
yesterday afternoon had been set by
children, investigation into the ease
proved that the child seen dashing
from the burning building at State
and Fourth street was not the in
stigator of the blaze, rather a
heroine. 1t was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. f. r. Drum, the fam
lily occupying the house damaged
by the blaze. Instead of being res
ponsible for the fire the little girl
ran into the building to find man
asleep ON burning bed and after
rousing him had dashed away.
Chief Reams said that investiga-
tion showed that the man had been
smoking while in bed and had fal-
len asleep, the bed catching fire.
The flames spread rapidly through
the low buildings surrounding the
Drum home which are used only rs
sleeping quarters, completely des-
troying these buildings and had
spread to the sleeping porch of the
Drum house when the firemen ar
rived. While the fire was under
control some 10 minutes later it
required about an hour to eXtin-
guish the blaze. The damage was
estimated at approximately $500.
The investigation into the cause
of the blaze showed that Mrs
Drum had noticed smoke coming
from the rear of the building and
had sent her daughter to find out
the trouble.

on with grave visage, like specta.

routed.
Police used mostly their fists.
The protestants, men and women
began to run. Police pursued them,
arms swinging, clubs appearing
here and there above the thronE.
Several men gained the steps of
the Fort Street Presbyterian Church
and continued their cries of Down
with Mussolini, down with Fascism, +"

The last of the anti-Fascisti
finally disappeared, up alleys and
down streets. Three were arrested
on charges Of disturbing the peace.

by Mayor John c. Lodge. During
the visit, several hundred police
were stationed at entrances to the
hotel, in the lobby and up and
down Washington Boulevard and

These officers were augmented,
shortly afterward. by others, when
his Excellency was escorted to the

ness to escort the ambassador to
Dearborn for lunch with Edsel Ford
and William b. Moyo.
