BENJAMIN TO BECOME POWER
BEHIND O.P. HEADQUARTERS
Hoover Selects Personal
Friend to Make Country
Safe for Him in 1882.
Insiders Believe Californian
viii Succeed FeSs as
National Chairman.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.


An Elk has come to lead the Elephant
out of the political jungle. To make
the Republican party and the country
safe again for Herbert Hoover in 1892
is the assigned task Of Raymond Ben
iamin, San Francisco lawyer and past
grand exalted ruler of the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks. Mr.. Benja-
min has just arrived in Washington and
is on the job at Republican national
headquarters, where he is no stranger.
Whether the actual rank and title
of chairman are bestowed upon him or
not, Benjamin viii hold sway at the Ma
tional Committee Offices in a super
advisory capacity, taking orders direct
ly from the White House and welding
corresponding authority.
Factor in Coast Politics.
Mr.. Benjamin has been a factor in
Pacific Coast politics since 1918. In
that year he became chairman of the
Republican State Committee Of Cali
fornia and headed it for four years.
During three years Of that period Ben
jan1in was regional director of the
Republican National Committee, his
sphere of activities ranging pretty well
along the whole Pacific coast. After
Mr.. Hoover's nomination for the pres
idency in 1928, Benjamin was sum-
moned to national headquarters in
washington. Later in the Summer he
accompanied the nominee to Palo Alto
and afterward returned to the National
Capital for campaign work.
It was as campaign manager for
Samuel M. Shortridge's two senatorial
fghts-first in 1920 and again in 1926
that Mr.. Benjamin displayed his
political organizing skill. Senator Short
ridge had both primary and election
contests to win. Benjamin was his
commander in chief and swept the
State twice in succession for the Short
ridge cause In 1926 he had to buck
the strong opposition of Senator Hiram
w. johnson, who left few stones I'M
turned to accomplish the overthrow of
the tall and lanky junior Senator from
California.
Native Californian.
BENJAMIN is a native son of the Coast
State, having been born at Vallejo, near
Mare Island, in 1872. He has just cele-
brated his fifty-eighth birthday. Ad-
mitted to the bar in Napa County, he
such a record there that he was ap-
pointed chief assistant to the attorney
general of the State, the famous u. S.
Webb, who has headed the California
Department of Justice at Sacramento
uninterruptedly since 1902. AS Webb's
principal aide, Benjamin helped to
draft most of the important laws now
on the California statute books, in
GLIDING those governing the regulation
Of public service corporations. He also
had a prominent hand in drawing up
the California land-law legislation,
which was aimed at preserving the State
from invasion by Japanese and other
Orientals, whose presence in large num-
bers the native sons" have always so
hotly resented. In defending the con-

I wish to quote the following from
Mr.. Tavis' letter:

the state agreed to pave between the

Of the rails. This rever has been
done and. as q result. water from the

This statement on the part Of MI.
Tavis Is erroneous and does not give
the facts. The facts are as follows:
That, in 1910. ], as warden Of the

instructions from the state engineer,
who acted upon instructions Of the

labor and material on hand. at the

hard burned brick and cement, and
the 10 inches On each side Of the rail
was also protected. This paving was
estimated from q point opposite the
southwest corner Of the Capitol
grounds on Fourth street to the end
Of the street car line on Main avenue.
This pavement remained in place
and in use until 1916 and 1917 when
the city of Bismarck, FOR ON reason
or other, through its street commits

that time there has been M pave

 The motorist last year paid an average of $812 for his car, accord. ing to MT. Reeves figures. In addition to the unprecedented production of new cars. the indus try manufactured parts and acces- sories for requirements as well as service equipment having whole sale value. of $920,0 100000 and turned out rubber tires for replacement valued at s6o0.00o,0oo
 The motoring public, according to the statistics paid a total of s925 .0o0 GOO in taxes on motor ve- hicles. Included in the levy was s4i5 100000 on gasoline consump- | ticn. In 1928 the total taxation amounted to sSo7 .S87 ,s67, including s304.87 ,766 on gasoline consump- ton.

 B. Berdielf, who drove the dog team, left the Nanuk on January 2. He visited reindeer camps and returned to the Nanuk Friday night. He said Eielson's plane was seen over one camp and heard over another, which was about 25 miles south of North Caps, along the foothills. This would indicate that Eielson did not go over into the high mountain range region but kept his course westward along the foothills.

HEAVY SMOKE IN CHIMNEY
 STARTS BELL TO RINGING

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 13. = Now there is a smoke detector that rings bell in the engineers room whenever his smokestack fumes even approach violation of city ordinances.
 It is described to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers by V. P. Griffin and J. V. Breisky of Pittsburgh.
 The device uses a photo-electric eye to watch the smoke inside the stack, and it works equally well day or night. The report says the device is in successful operation on commercial smokestacks.
