STAUNTON, Va, Oct. o.
The political pot in Augusta

but just what the result will be
on November 5 is still an un-
e. ". The "big guns" of
J. lrties, including such
lea 81, as Governor Byrd,

Bigger than party, bigger than
person-the real issue in the present

will of the people may prevail, de
clared Col. Henry w. Anderson, Re
publican leader in the State, in an
address in the Strand Theater, at a
meeting jointly sponsored by Repub-
lican and CoalitlOnist committees.

Large numbers Of other weak spots in New
Yorks institutions were quietly plugged" be-
fore the prisoners got "cn" to them. Then an
instantaneous alarm system was installed, con-
Meeting every institution with the police de-
partment, so that assistance could be obtained
Immediately In the event Of trouble. BY these
methods the number of escapes from New York
City's prisons has been reduced until today In
proportion to the prison population, it is less
than that of any other prison or prison system
in the entire world approximately $4,000
prisoners are handled each year in the insti-
buttons of the New York City department Of
correction. Yet from November /, 1928, to
october 81, 1929, only three prisoners escaped,
and two Of these were recaptured within a
short time. One escape for every 1900
prisoners.
This record is all the more remarkable when
the class of prisoners in New York's institu-
tons is considered. The prisons of no other
section, with the possible exception of Chicago,
contain as many vicious, desperate and re-
Sourceful inmates as those of New York. Keep
ing escapes at such a low figure among men
who stop at nothing to effect q getaway is

NEW YORK, July 23.-If Lee Diegel can successfully beat back the formidable opposition he will encounter in defense of his Cana dian open golf championship, the Rivermead cup, emblematic of the title, will take the longest journey of it's 25 year old life. The title will be decided at Montreal, July 25-27.
 Diegel, the only golfer to win the Canadian title three times, now is playing from Agua Caliente, Mexico, and although the Canadian cup has been won by golfers from the United States for the last ten years, it has never before been threatened by such sudden trans fer from north to south
 The reigning monarch won the title for the third time at Toronto last year with score of 282. He scored 70 and 68 on the final day to keep out in front. Walter Ha- gen, Archie Compston and Mac donald Smith tied for second place, two strokes behind. Smith finish ed with round in CT.
 The best pros in the United States and a sprinkling of crack amateurs will battle Leo's rights to repeat Among the former cham pions expected to seek the title again are Tommy Armour, Mac donald Smith and Al Watrous. This is one of the few titles Hagen has not been able to capture and he will shoot at it again as will his partner, Horton Smith, the lean Missourian. Among the amateurs expected to make a determined bid will be George Von Elm, the De- troit star, who was a threat to the last in the United States open at Winged Foot.
 The late J. Douglas Edgar of At lanta, won the Canadian title, when Oi4S SAcoolN Neto S4iC war in 1919, with a record breaking score of 278. He repeated the next year, after a play-off with C. R. Murray and Tommy Armour, the nan amateur William Tro- vinger won in 1921 and Al Wat rous in 1922. Clarence Hackney took the championship in 1923 and Leo Diegel in 1924 and 1925. Mac Smith was the 1926 winner and Tom Armour won in 1927, beating out the champion.
 This years championship will be played over a course of the Kama waki golf club. Montreal. A qualify ing round of 36 holes will be played Thursday, July 25, all players re- maining within 20 strokes of the leader continuing the competition through the 72 holes of medal play Friday and Saturday.
