United States Senator Henry w, Keles. republican. was not opposed for renomination. The two republi- can representatives in congress, Fletcher Hale and Edward H. Was on, likewise were renominated with out opposition.
 On the face of incomplete returns, Albert w. Noone of Peterboro had apparently won both democratic nominations for |. s. senator and governor authough the vote was close in both contests. Returns from 2G9 districts for governor gave Noone 3,617 and Frederick E. Small, former mayor of Rochester, 5,3S9. In the senatorial contest, POS dis tricts gave Noone 3.423 and Amos N. Blandin, of Bath, 2,704.
 Chief issues in the campaign oth- CT than the second term were the direct primary, prohibition and pow CT. Both Winant and Morrill, sup ported prohibition Moore advocated it's repeal New Hampshire was in the prohibition column long before the 18th amendment was enacted,
 A distinguished World war avia- tor, Winant represented the younger element of the party. He championed the direct primary. Morrill,, general ly recognized as the "old guard candidate. gave the direct primary his endorsement but called it a rich mans plaything.'
 Public Service Discussed
 The state public service commits sion and it's activities were prom inently discussed by Winant and Morrill,. A state investigation of several power utilities in the state is now under way.

Loses Old Position

Columbia, S. C., Sept. l Q LP-Cole. man Livingston Blease. for 40 years i a storm center in South Carolina politics, today apparently had lost | his seat in the United States senate to James F. Byrnes, Spartanburg at torney, whom he defeated six years ago.
 Unofficial returns from yesterdays democratic primary gave Byrnes 119,31O votes to Blease's 114,340 when reports from 1879 of the l. 422 precincts had been tabulated. The amounted precincts were small boxes in isolated communities and their ballots were not considered sufficient to change the indicated result The nomination is equivalent to election.
 With the senatorial race practical ly settled, chief interest centered on the gubernatorial contest between two Spartanburg attorneys, with Ibra c. Blackwood leading Olin D. Johnston by 693 votes with 42 boxes unreported.
 Blackwood Lead Low
 The count gave Blackwood 116,- 966 votes to Johnston's 116.273, al- though political observers familiar with the missing boxes were in clined to give Blackwood the nomi- nation, none denied that the 42 pre- cincts might spell victory or defeat for either of the candidates.
 Byrnes, on whom Blease's sena- torial mantle apparently has fallen, will be on familiar ground when he is sent to Washington as represen- tative on his native state. For IA years. from 1911 to 1925. he served the congressional district in the house of representatives. He retired from congress after his defeat by Senator Blease in 1924 when he failed to realize his ambition for a seat in the upper house by the mar gin of 2,O00 votes.
 Born in Charleston
 Byrnes. born in Charleston May ?, 1879, was admitted to the bar in
 
 gress, he was a circuit solicitor from 1908 to 1910.
 In the recent campaign, Byrnes devoted practically every one of his speeches in the 46 county seats to a discussion of national business and economic questions.
 Blease, noted for his fiery tactics on the stump, departed from his usual speeches in this campaign and related his record in the senate.
 Blackwood sought the governor s chair four years ago when John G. Richards was elected, He has been q circuit solicitor for many years and is grand master of the South Caro- lima grand lodge of Masonry.
 While Johnston directed prac- tically his entire campaign against the states $65,O00,0 900 highway bond issue, Blackwood took the position that this was no longer an issue, Johnston said he would not sign the bonds, if elected governor.

Contends Shortest Interna- tional Air Routes Lie Over Arctic Despite the Difficulties of Travel.

Williamstown, Mass, Aug, 4 LP - The advent of the airplane has given new significance to polar territory and aroused interest of all great powers in areas to which they pre- viously gave no attention, Edward P. Warner, editor Of Aviation" and former assistant secretary of the navy ,Iold members of the institute of politics today,
 Speaking before the conference on problems of sovereignty in the Arctic and Antarctic" he IHinted out that the shortest international air routes lie over the Arctic. al- though difficulties of operations in the region are acute. A number sf years will probably elapse before across the Arctic zone, he said, but the prospect is sufficiently real to have awakened the attention of great powers to areas to which they previously gave scant attention.

 Rearrange Bill in Congress

Washington, Aug. 4 (P}-The dem- ocratlc fire on the Smoot-Ha a 1ley tariff law intensified today with a de- mand by Senator Swanson of Vir- ginia, that the six weeks ofd meas sure be revised
 A statement by the Virginian, is- sued through the democratic na- tional committee, said American ag- rlculture would be further depressed II the act remained in effect and warned of an eventful closing of the markets of the world to this coun- try, in protest against the high tariff wall.
 The best interests of the United States" he asserted, demand a re- vision of this vicious bill which is only beneficial to a very few spe- cial interests"
 Since assurance was had that the Smoot Hawley bill would become law, 17 nations had increased their tariffs in retaliation.
 Italy" he said, "has imposed an almost prohibitive duty on automo- D4i|o II oill tllC oiliCCd bldtto W HUI challenge all hope of expanding our commerce in this industry in that country. French tariff rates have been increased on oats, potatoes, wheat, four and various food pro- ducts and also automobiles.
 Discuss Tariff Solidarity
 The European Customs Union, Nf iva rioI leaders from 13 continental states, met in Paris on June 30 to discuss tariff solidarity. America is con- fronted with the danger that the union of these 3 continental states will enact legislation that will pre- vent importation of our goods 10 these countries.
 The German minister of economy has announced that Germany would abandon it's most favored nation treatment of the United States when the present commercial treaty ex- pires in 1885"
 In the overturn of the liberal gov ernment in Canada Swanson saw a further threat to American trade.
 Even Great Britain" he contin- ued, 50 long representative of free and liberal trade has caught the general contagion of retaliation and directly issued an order pro- hibiting the importation of Ameri- can apples to England, Scotland, Wales and North Ireland
 All this retaliatory legislation has occurred with this year and is but beginning of greater and more hos tile acts in the future.

 Evacuation Speeded Up
 Meanwhile the evacuation of ku- ling, kiangsi province summer re- sort, was speeded up as the com munist menace persisted there.
 United States naval authorities also announced their Yangtse river patrol would be improved to cope with the situation in the communist ridden valley.
 Changsha was shelled by a Chi nese gunboat last night, dispatches said. Communist machine gun crews on the northern outskirts of the city returned the fire until the gunboat was forced to turn back.
 Changsha, although most of the reds were believed withdrawn, still was in a precarious position. Com munists remaining in the city were still armed.
