MRS. MCCORMICK
STILL is FACING
HUGE OBSTACLES
National Capitals Chief
Interest in Her Is as
a Personality.
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD
Tnlted Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Appar-
ent nomination by Illinois Repub-
licans Of Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCor-
mick for the senate was received in
official circles here with citation by
some, with disappointment by 9TH
ers. but with keen interest by all.
Seldom has a state primary cam
paign aroused such universal inter-
est in Washington.
Statesmen discarded books and
cards Tuesday night to listen to
radio reports Of swelling votes for
Mrs Mccormick, who has been
known here for years as the vigor
Gus and pOlitically-wi daughter Of
Mark Hanna, Republican boss dur
ing the Mckinley administration.
She is known, now in her own
right, for her constant activity since
she was elected to the house in
1928.
Summing up the political after
math Of Mrs. Mccormick apparent
victory, political observers foresaw
two obstacles she faces before TAX
ing her seat as the first woman
elected to the senate.
The first, of course. was the op-
position of her Democratic oppo-
nent, James Hamilton Lewis. In
this fight she was seen to have the
advantage of a normal Republican
plurality of votes in her state.
On Side Of Drys
On the other hand however. it
was observed that Mrs. Mccormick
was to take the dry side of wet
and dry political fight in a state
assumed to be predominantly wet.
The other obstacle, yet uncertain
is the resolution of Senator Norris
to inaugurate an investigation of
primary expenditures which Mrs.
McCormick's opponent, Senator
Charles S. Deneen, charges are very
large. Frank Smith, elected SEN
ator from Illinois in 1926, was
barred from the senate because he
spent too much.
Casting politics aside, Washing
ton undoubtedly is more interested
in Mrs. Mccormick as a personality.
Invited to Chicago
With Alice Roosevelt Longworth.
her girlhood friend and election
night companion, Mrs. Mccormick
is one of Washington officialdom' S
best-known daughters.
When a daughter, Paulina, was
born to Mrs. Longworth, Mrs. Nc
Cormick invited her to her Chicago
home, where she was attended by a
specialist in whom Mrs. Mccormick
had great faith.
During the stirring days of the
Mckinley administration, when her
father was one of the Presidents
advisers. Mrs. Mccormick was her
fathers secretary. Famous men
gathered at her home.
Young Ruth was allowed, at times,

Then she married the wealthy
Medill Mccormick of Chicago. His
rise in politics was attributed by
many of their friends to the counsel
and restless ambition of his wife. He
was one of the irreconcilables who
fought the world court to the last
ditch. Her present stand on this
issue is consonant with his.

SNYDER ATTACKS
RED" ACTIVITIES
U. S. Marshal Calls on Citi-
zenS for New Baptism
of AmeriCaniSm.

Dramatically waving the latest Com
munistic pamphlet circulated among
students Of the Mcfarland Junior High
School, Col. Edgar c. Snyder, United
States marshal for the District of Co
lumbia, last night called on Masons
here to dedicate themselves to the fur
therance OF law observance in the
United States and absolute support Of
the President. The occasion was the
second annual get-together banquet of
the National League of Masonic Clubs,
held at Picardt'S Restaurant. Every
Masonic club in the city was repre-
Sented among the nearly 125 prominent
MaSonS present.
Declaring that he stood for a census
of all the aliens in the United States,
lin order that we may check the Com
mun1Sm that Is rampant in our country,
that may be the planning of the ele-
mentS that would undermine organized
government" Col. Snyder denounced
the attitude into which the citizenry of
the Nation was permitting itself to
slip.
I'VE are patriots in war and slackers
in peace" he asserted. Let us have a
new baptism of Americanism in the
United States-a new birth of patriot
ism. 1t is up to us as eXemplers of the
service, that we as MasonS have. to
allegiance to the Government of our
country and less relationship to personal
rights"
Lauds BaIIOu Order.
The recent order by DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent Of schools for
the District of Columbia, commanding
a salute of the flag for least one-half
of the assemblies held in schools each
month and a recitation of the pledge
of allegiance, was highly commended
by Col Snyder, who added:
IF / were an officer in a school. I
would make it compulsory to salute the
flag and recite the pledge OF allegiance
twice, or at least once, every week. I
believe allegiance to the flag should be
made mandatory"
The pamphlet, which Col. Snyder de-
scribed as "a disgraceful example of the
kind of thing that is going on in our
public Schools" was one issued by an
organization terming itself THE Young
Pioneers of America" Among other
things, it demanded free carfare for
school children and in general censured
conditions in the Mcfarland School.
CommuniStic activities in this coun-
try were attributed by Capt. CLANCY L.
Bertholf, national president of the Ma
tional League of Masonic Clubs, who
was guest of honor. to the alien ele-
ment. He stressed the Importance of
proper education in foreign service for
the men who are to represent the
United States in foreign lands. He

Sees Erroneous Comparison.
From John Vernon, vice president and
chairman of the publicity committee Of
the Warrant Oficers' Association of the
Army, writing in behalf of the national
council of the association, The Star has
received a letter directing attention to
what the association considers an erro-
neous comparison made by the Pay
Board between the proposed new pay
schedule and the 1908 or later schedule
THE proposed schedule" says the
Pay Board in its report, will effect a
mean increase of pay of 81 per cent
for the warrant officers and ll3 per
cent for the commissioned warrant of
ficers over the 1908 COR later pay
schedule"
1T Is believed" writes Mr.. Vernon,
that the percentage of increase-87
per cents arrived at by the board by
taking the minimum base pay for war
rant officers, u. S. Army at large,
1920 (Which is minus monetary allow
ances for quarters, light and heat and
which they we're entitled to under the
law, and subtracting this sum from
the present minimum pay for the same
grade, STATS (Which includes therein
all allowances for quarters, light and
heat), and dividing the result, $1,155,
by the first amount, $500, to get the
percentage Of increase.
ITO thus take pay of one period of
time that is stripped of all allowances
and compare it with pay of another
period which includes all allowances is
obviously erroneous"
In as much as the percentage of in
crease that the board says the warrant
officers would receive in the proposed
legislation is considerably greater than
that which the board says the commits
stoned grade would receive under SINH
lar conditions, 1t IS very obvious" ex-
plains Mr.. Vernon, "that the boards
statement would be greatly to the dis
advantage of the warrant grade of the
Army when public opinion and Con-
gresS decide this matter" Mr.. Vernon
told The Stars representative that he
had talked this matter over with War
Department officials and that the error
in the percentage was admitted and
would be corrected.
