Lel,man's Gouernorship Race Vie,ced as Testing Strength
 Of Roosevelt nn Home State

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 6.-In the battle of Herbert H. Lehman for the Democratic candidacy for the Governorship of New York may repose the answer to whether Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt will carry his home state in the Presiden- tial election.
 Lieutenant Governor Lehman was drafted out of his family's banking house into politics by Roosevelt when the latter for the first time ran for Governor in 1928. Leh- man now is Roosevelt's choice as the man to succeed him at the helm of the state.
 Opposed to Roosevelt's open ef- fort to install Lehman as the candidate is a group of New York State Democrats headed by the Albany County organization of Edward J. O'Connell, hostile for years to Roosevelt and a co-worker with the powerful Tammany unit of John F. Curry and the Brook lyn ally, John McCooey. OCon- nell seeks to block Lehman's ef- forts by nominating the Demo- cratic Mayor of Albany, John Boyd Thatcher.
 Vote Will Indicate Strength
 Should the Roosevelt camp suc- ceed in nominating Lehman, it would be viewed as indicative of the strength of the Presidential nominees group in the state which largely voted against the Cover rior's selection at Chicago as the National standard bearer until the last ballot.
 The story told of the stocky, serious Lehman's entrance into politics is this:
 Alfred E. Smith, Presidential candidate of 1928, attending the 1928 State convention, in the throes of picking a gubernatorial candi- date, telephoned Roosevelt at  Warm Springs, Ga. Smith insisted Roosevelt take the nomination.
 "Ill call you back, AL" Roose- welt is quoted as replying.
 Roosevelt then reached Lehman by telephone, asking him to serve as his running mate on the State ticket. Lehman was hesitant.
 I'll do it if you will,' Roose- welt urged Lehman. The banker agreed, closed his desk and then launched out into an unfamiliar sea of politics.
 The 53-year-old financier now devotes to his $10,000 government al job the attention he gave to his banking house. A reputet

P PARKS RETURNS FROM VISIT TO
 NOME DISTRICT
Governor Says Progress ss Made in Reindeer Ad-
 ministration of North

While some progress has been made toward ironing out differ ences in the reindeer industry and some progress made toward solving some of the problems of admins tration, there is still much to be accomplished, said Gov. George A. Parks, in charge of the Reindeer Administration. He returned today from a three-weeks absence during which he attended the annual meeting of the Reindeer Advisory Council of which he is Chairman.
 We now have five unit man. agers, one of whom has been on the job for one year, and are get ting the organization on a stable basis for administering the industry on plane that we hope will be satisfactory to every deer owner" the Governor said. At the meet ing of the Council some changes on regulations were made to make them workable and to meet condi- tions in the field.
 Flew to Nome
 Gov. Parks went to Nome from Fairbanks by airplane. He was &C., companied by Charles w. Hawkes. worth, Acting Chief of the Alaska Division of the Indian Service; H. w. Terhune, Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission; and Dr. Philip Smith, Chief Alaskan Geologist.
 MT. Hawk wort h, after the Council meeting, flew to Kotzebue where he took the motorship North Star for Point Barrow. MT. Ter hume went by F.; ne to Nunivak Island with Supt. Rood of the Reindeer Service. Dr. Smith will remain sometime at Nome study ing the mining industry and will return to Fairbanks later by plane, and visit Juneau on his way to his in Washington, D. C..
 Mining Industry Normal
 The mining industry in the Nome area is at least normal, said Gov. Parks. As in other sections of AL aska, one of the most encouraging signs there is the increase in pros pecting. Many men are prospect ing for quartz in the vicinity of Nome and elsewhere in the Second Division, he said.
 Hammon Consolidated Goldfields is operating it's fleet of dredges. In addition there are a goodly number of individual owners oper- ating on their ground. An abund- ance of water has made possible an expansion of hydraulicking in the district that ought to step up the gold production for the season.
 The Governor spent only few days in Fairbanks. Conditions there seemed to be good. Water was plentiful for all mining operations plentiful for all mining operations. The Livengood res.on was the only one that reported water short age that curtailed mining work.
 Building Is Progressing
 Construction of the new Federal court building at Fairbanks is nov Ing ahead nicely according to the

NOMINEE URGES TAX REDUCTION
 TO AID FARMER
Roosevelt, in Connecticut
 Speech, Depicts Plight of Three Classes
LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS IN NEED OF REVAMPING
Nationwide Effort Needed to Effect Substantial
 Tax Slashing

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Sept. G. A reduction in taxes, particularly affecting the farmer, small hofne owner and railroads was empha- sized by Gov. Franklin D. Roose- welt, Democratic Presidential can- didate. in an address before the Connecticut Democrats last Sat- urday.
 Declaring there is need every where for concentrated attention upon local government" the nom- inee asserted there should be a nationwide effort to effect sub- stantial relief for. the taxpayer, particularly the farmer, blanketed by too many layers of local taxing authorities, relieving him of this is our first responsibility in restoring his economic well being in funda- mental way. Lack of a relief pro- gram is the source of much of the present distress. Mortgages on our farms, foreclosures thereon, impose 8 burden on our banks which strains the credit structure of the country.
 Railroads Burdened Moreover, the railroads are like wise burdened by this local tax ex- pense. It requires only a moments reflection to see that when we bur- den the railroads in this way and force them to the brink of receiv- ership, we are endangering the savings of the people, their savings banks and their insurance com- panies.'
 Economic Life
 Continuing, the Democratic nom- inee said the economic life of the country is seamless. web and it must be adjusted so the strains are equally distributed and con- stant vigilance must be exercised to avoid a break in any one place.
 My principal, however, and that of my party, is that every part of this seamless web is precious to the welfare of the nation and the small farmer and the small homeowner must be the object of our most careful solicitude in these times of distress and relief"
