Interest Centers Upon
Three COrnered Fight
For Governor.

san FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. W.R
The climax of the warmest pri-
mary campaign in wears was reached
at a. M. today when polling places
in California's S 10,2S3 precincts
opened.
While bitterly contested, the pri-
mary is confined II state offices and
state issues, aside from few con-
cressional posts in which, in most
instances, the incumbent is favored
TO win.
1t is expected that more than
100000 voters will visit the polls
| before : p. M, when voting ends.
i The outstanding feature of the pri.
mary is a three-corncr race for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination
I-tantamount to election in CalifOr-
MIA.
Governor c. G. Young, now fin
ishing his first term. is opposed by
Buron Fits, Los Angeles district at
torney, and James Rolph Jr., San
Francisco $ mayor.
Two other names are on the Re-
publican gubernatorial ballot, those
Of Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz and
Milton X. Young but all observers
conceded that the fight lies with
G. G.. Young, Fits and Rolph.
Milton X. Young, actually Demo-
! orat although on the Republican bal
, lot, is the lone candidate for the
| Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
I lion, while Upton Sinclair. Pasadena
! author, again is seeking the Social
: istic nomination.
| On the eve of the election Cover
nor Young, Fits and Rolph all is
sued statements and thanked friends
; Tor their support. In each case an
! overwhelming victory was predicted.
| Personalities rather than issues
dominated the campaign. Governor
Young and Fits quarreled some over
! jprohibition, each claiming TO be en-
! titled to the unqualified support of
! the drvS. Young, however, received
! the endorsement of the Anti-SaloOn
| League, although many members re
fused to endorse this program and
are supporting Fits.

1t was thought for Il time that
the question of pardons for Thomas
J. Mooney and Warren X. Billings,

parcdness Day Parade, might become

HeadwindS of VARYING intensity

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MoLLIE MERRIcK.

HOLLYWOOD, October 2 (N.AN.A).
When Lily Damita woke up and
found q ton or so of snow in her bed
she said something more emphatic than
the "oo-la-la's" that are given her in
the movies.
Yesterday the Gallo exponent of
high h-Fahrenheit emotion, somewhat
cooled but still animated, is en- route to
Sonora from the mountain fastness
where she and Gary Cooper, Ernest
Torrance and some 200 other members
Of the Paramount troupe were showed
IA for 4S hours.
The village on the mountain top Is
called Dardanelle. Rely on early Cali
6ornia towns to name 'em fancy. And
the only intermediate town between
Dardanelle and Sonora is called Straw
berry. When the producers decided to
make The Fighting Caravan they
sent the company on location TO the
town which has become the most ia
NOUS. location center in this State.
Thousands Of dollars worth of sound
equipment, abandoned for the time at
Dardanelle, is only one of the prob
lens which the producers face. The
sudden storm which swept the noun
tain top-they were looking for q wild
and woolly Western location, and they
rot it-cut of all communication with
Sonora, which is the base Of operations
Now, there Is range of mountains
bome 1900 feet high separating Sonora
and Dardanelle. We have hills out
here in the West, ma'aml And try and
get over the mountain passes when q
6-foot fall of snow comes along!
The company has been living in tents
on q mountain top. The tents were
craftily pitched beneath the giant pines
and redwoods which. gave Bret Harte
90 much of his inspiration and are q
characteristic of our Western scenery.
The pine boughs caught the heavy
snowfall and held it, and the company,
cut on from communication with the
town because of the mountain range
and the elements, congratulated them
selves on their forethought in getting
the tents pitched In sheltered place.
That was before the high wind came
along and slushed about half q ton Of
nice cool snow OF the weighted trees
and into the bed Of no less person

Heaven help usl--than Lily Damita

Meanwhile q rescue party with trac-
tors was trying to make the ice-topped
grade from Sonora. Food had to be
brought In and stars had to be brought
out. No matter how good q sense Of
humor our famous ones possess, they
will not be kept in mountain fastness
with the terror of blue nose or chill
blains forever before them. Starvation
Is mild; also (whisper) very, very good
for the flggah.
They now have Gary Cooper, Lilly
Damita and Ernest Torrance down
where wood stoves are wood stoves and
the cracker barrel gang gather about to
talk 1t over. And here they win wait
until the elements decide to. abate.
Lily Damita's temperament should
create thaw If she lives up to the
publicity released about her.
When Douglas Fairbanks, Irving
Berlin and Edmund Goulding were
choosing beauties for Fairbanks new
picture they based their choice on these
characteristics:
Face, figure, personality and the
ability to wear clothes modishly.

"The 1882 girl viii be tall, athletic
