R-Florida Republicans balloted
today in their first party primary.
a privilege made possible by the
heavy vcte in the 1928 election in
which Herbert Hoover carried the
state.
The Republicans. however. did
not qualify candidates for state Of

with q struggle between fations led
by Glenn B. Skipper, national COM
mitteeman, and w. j. Howey for
control Of the state party executive
committee.
Only two races had any claim for
national attention and both were
in the Democratic primary. Repre-
sentative Ruth Bryan Owen, daught-
er of the late William Jennings
Bryan, sought a second term as a
member Of congress from the fourth
district.
She was opposed by Dewitt T.
Deem, Daytona Beach attorney, who
campaigned on a platform calling
for repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
In another spirited contest, Sid
ney j. Cats. picturesque wartime
| governor OF Florida, made a bid for
the Democrats nomination for
congress in the third district. He
was opposed by Tom A. Yon, the
incumbent, and j. Harvey Bayliss,
former mayor OF Pensacola.
