GAN FRANCISCO, Sept. S.
- CALIFORNIA; 100000 voters
will find it difficult to register
their approval or disapproval of
prohibition, the hardest-fought is
sue in the 1882 political campaign.
Nationally, the Democratic party
is committed to repeal and the
Republican party is committed to
a resubmission plan.
But voters of this state face the
paradoXical situation raised by a
Republican senatorial candidate
who is fiery champion of repeal
and Democratic candidate who
has a long record as a dry" and
who has yet to declare himself on
the prohibition issued in 1882.
1t all comes about as the re-
suit of the states Democrats
nominating William G. McAdoo,
former secretary of the treasury,
as their senatorial candidate, and
the choice of Tallant TubbS,
youthful San Francisco manufac-
turer, by the Republicans.
McAdoo and TubbS will go to the
polls in November in a battle for
the senate seat now held by Sen
ator Samuel Shortridge, whom
TubbS defeated for denomination.
This race, which promises to
be one of the hottest in the ma
ton, will be between a 69-year-old
political veteran who almost be-
came his party presidential can
didate in 1914 and an aggressive
34-year-old San Franciscan, whose
name now is scarcely known be-
yond the borders Of his state.
NE'ADOO, formerly the high
N1 priest of the nations Demo-
cratic drys and famed for his war
time service in woodrow Wilson'S
cabinet, is attempting a comeback
after eight years retirement from
the political arena.
Tubbs. hitherto a member Of
CALIFORNIA; legislature, is making
his first bid for a major political
office.
The paradoxical situation that
found each candidate at variance
with his party's national prohibi-
ton stand arose during their pri-
mary campaigns.
T,1IN1Nc n1ff oTNl ont
pealist; McAdoo, long a champion
of the drys, made no specific ut
terance.
The youthful nominee who re-
places the veteran Senator Short
ridge in the favor of CALIFORNIA;
Republicans is a native of Cali
fornia, Yale graduate and the
son of wealthy parents.
Despite his apparent youth, he
is no neophyte in affairs political.
For eight years he has been a
state senator and has established
himself not only as a prohibition
foe, but as an independent pro-
greSSive.
Though born to wealth, Tubbs'
legislative records has satisfied la
Dor and his interest in veterans
legislation has won him friends
among eX-Service men.
ID ICH, youthful, and handsome,
IN Tubbs was considered north
ern CALIFORNIA; prize bachelor
until his marriage a year ago to
Olivia PillSbury Gibson, equally
prominent socially.
A former war pilot who left Yale
at the outbreak of hostilities in
1917 to join the armyS aviation
corps, be still flies his own plane.
He has an autogiro which he
used quite effectively during his
campaign in getting over the state
to his meetings. In business, he
operates large rope factory.
In sharp contrast to TubbS is
his veteran opponent, McAdoo,
who has returned to the political
arena for the first time since his
defeat for the presidential nomi-
nation in his historic battle with
Al Smith at Madison Square Gar
den in 1924.
He played prominent part at
the recent Democratic conven-
tion in Chicago, when he swung
CALIFORNIA; delegation to Roose-
welt, thereby breaking a fast
developing deadlock and making
RooSevelt's nomination certain.
Previously McAdoo had cham
pioned Garner for the nomination.
McAdoo also has an airplane,
and his pretty daughter. Ellen. II.
