Late Returns

With 80 of the 93 precincts in the

san FRANCISCO, Aug. 2s. UP)
flames Rolph, .Ir., Mayor of
San Francisco, and Milton X. Young
Los Angeles attorney, will be can
didatcs next November for the gov.
crnorship of California.
Rolph obtained the Republican
guhcrnatorial nomination in n three
corncrcd fight with Governor e. c.
Young, incumbent, and Buron Fits,
Los Angeles district attorney.
Milton *. Young was not opposed
for the Democratic Somination
The victory of Rolph, conceded
today 10y Fits and Young, is tan
tamount to election. Invariably the
winner Of the Republican primary
contest in California also wins in
the general election.
An interesting phase OF the con
test was that Governor Young. in
being defeated. ran first in 10 Of
the 5S counties of the state. Rolph
carried II counties while four south
crn counties gave Il majority to
Fits.
Returns from g6si out of l0.2s3
precincts in the state gave the fol
lowing totals:
Rolph .................................. 90. -
Young ......................--... 327 .276
Fits ............ ...................... 273,92l
The vote was virtually complete
rs the few unrcportcd precincts are
small ones without sufficient vote
to change the result of the primary.
4 heavy vote in the ma ior cities
of the state won for Rolph. He was
second in Los Angeles and carried
San Francisco by an overwhelming
majority.
Governor Young WAS strong in
the interior, rs is evidenced bv the
flct that he carried 80 out of the
- counties, but the rural votes
were too scattered to offset the
large block of San Francisco votes
in behalf of Rolph.
Although il was not y direct
issuc. prohibition had part III the
Rolph victory. The dry vote was
divided by Young and Fits. Rolph
wa silent on the prohibition W2s
tion but his opponents stressed the
fact that he believes the dry law
III ,uld bc modified.
In the race for lieutenant COVER
nor, Frank Merriam was conceded
ia, victory with q total of l92,3OO
votes. Carnahan WAS second with
l79,3s7: Tubbs. third, with l6S.75J;
Chamberlain, fourth. with $3.50,
and kinslcy last with only 2j,2lS

COLORED FOLKS
FEAR CENSUS

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va.
May g. Some Of the colored
folks south of the Mason and
Dixon line are not taking any
chances with the census emu
merators. One jefferson county
enumerator has reported all
amusing experience. Visiting .
colored settlement. the residents
suspected that the visitor might
be a Federal prohibition officer.
and were unwilling to permit his
entry to their homes.
The first approached by the
enumerator was q middle aged
colored man. who was not at all
satisfied with the evidence OF
identity presented by the census
Caker, and after completing his
own enumeration on the door
step, volunteered to bring the
other men of the settlement out
of their homes.
This was readily agreed to by
the taker, who questioned the re-
mainder Of the colony in their
yards, much to the relief Of
negroes, who suspected they were
being entrapped by Federal Of
ftcerS.

Virginia Corn Crop
Is Poorest in Years

LURAY,- Va, May 8.-David S
Fox, deputy sheriff of Page
county. whose duties carry him
into the remoteSt sections, de
clares that the outlook for a corn
crop this year is the poorest he
has ever known.
An unprecedented drought now
prevails in all sections of the
Shenandoah Valley.
The hay crop, Fox believes. has
already been cut so per cent,
while the wheat crop, promising
early in the year. has been badly
damaged.
So severe is the drought that
farmers are keeping hundreds OF
cattle on half pasturage on low
land farms. the dry weather hav
ing dried up pastures on their
grazing farms in the Blue Ridge
which at this season of the year
are always luxuriant.

A new and simple explanation
of the wide fluctuation in the
annual catch of American
mackerel Vas offered at the
National Academy of Sciences
annual meeting.
The reason fishermen in some
years catch as many as 10000
600 pounds and in others as few
as 100000 pounds, according
to DR.. Oscar E. Sette, Of the
Museum of Comparative Zoology
Cambridge, Mass. is because
some years there are more. some
less, mackerel to catch.
Under old theories the Varia'
ton in the mackerel catch has
been attributed to failure OF
fishermen 20 catch the fish, not
in abundance or scarcity Of the
mackerel.
The large mackerel catches Of
recent seasons, said DR.. Sette,
have been due largely to the
remarkable number Of fish

Drank RICHARDSON, who appear

broken out of the clouds, he having
come to town via specially upholstered
airplane, cannot be said to have crashed
overnight into spotlight fame.
Mr.. Richardson began appearing be-
fore the public at the age of 8, this
being at the Bijou Theater in Philadel-
phia. Shortly afterward he attached
himself to a medicine show, for whose
promoter of Quack medicines he war
bled his head of nightly. From this
he turned his lyric talents over to a
tent show, thence he went to vaudeville
and from there to the old Dumont Min
strels. in which he was billed as the
wonder boy tenor"
Shortly after this the wonder boy
attached himself to the Emmett WEIGH
Ministries. who performed nightly on
the Million Dollar Pier at Atlantic City,
and then was lured once more to the
vaudeville stage, playing-H Washing
tonians will remember back step or
two-at Keith's Theater when that
now talkie emporium was displaying
vaudevillian wares.
Mr. Richardson. like so many of his
craft, betook himself to Hollywood at
the beginning of the talkie invasion,
and his fate from then on became pub
lie rather than private property. Ger
tainly few movie enthusiasts will ever
forget Franks Interpretation of "Walkin'
With Susie" In the first Fox Movietone

Daisies" in Sunny Side Up" Now he's
doing similar things in person at the
