the fifth by gas in the States his
tory.
Mull's identity was revealed
after his conviction by his 23-
year-old wife. Relatives in Nor
gantown then raised funds for an
appeal to the State Supreme
Court. The appeal was denied.
The only change in procedure
from previous gas executions.
Warden Matt Penrose said, was
the death hour-6:15 am. (Pa-
cific standard time) instead Of
sunrise. Witnesses, standing in
the prison yard, look through a
window into the death chamber,
which Is lighted. Guards in an
adjoining room cut strings, one
of which drops an "egg" of
chemical into an acid solution.
The reaction forms the lethal acid,
which rises in white fumes. Un-
consciousness follows the first
br5sth or two of the gas, prison
officials said. and death in the
past has resulted in about Is
minutes.

Z VICTORY Of the conservative
Republicans over the La
" Toilette Progressives in the
Wisconsin primary . few
days ago held most OF the
political spotlight during the week,
marking the Badger State as an
other factor Of unusual interest dur
ing the campaign.
While there were other primaries
during the week for State and con-
pressional nominations in MasSachu-
sets and in New York, these were
oyershadowed in national interest
by the unexpected results IN Wis
consin.
Primary battles, while they attract
wide attention in these early stages
Of the campaign, are merely pro-
logues to the Nation wide drama to
be enacted November 8. Soon these
primaries and State conventions will
all be over, and then the attention
Of the electorate will be focused on
the intensive period of the campaign
for the presidency, for the two
branches Of Congress and for high
State ofices.

Dispatches from the West describe
how the hopes and enthusiasm OF
the Democratic leaders in that part
of the country were raised during
the week by the presence OF their
candidate, Gov. Franklin D. Roose-

time. the dispatches indicate. Re-
publican workers in the West are

plans to counteract the Democratic
drive
Meanwhile, it was announced in
Washington that President Hoover

primary election were under scrutiny
of the respective party managers this
week, in an effort to determine what
way the wind Is liable to blow In No.
vember.
In so far as public procurement
Is concerned. the Democratic leaders
seemed to derive more comfort from
the primary results than did their Re-
publican brothers.
The fact that, for the first time in
many years, the Democratic vote in all
sections Of the State was heavier than
the Republican. and that many of the
voters who went into the Democratic
primary went to the trouble of record
ing change of party afiliation to be
eligible to vote in the Democratic pri-
mary is looked upon by Democratic
nabobs as very definite evidence that
this is to be a Democratic year in
Colorado.
Republican leaders concede that
President Hoover will not lick Franklin
D. Roosevelt in Colorado as soundly as
he did Al Smith four years ago, but
they predict, nevertheless, that he will
win.
Election betting. which has, more
often than not, forecast the trend Of
elections in Colorado, still favored
Roosevelt and most of the Democratic
ticket.

But the well managed. well financed
Kohler campaign. combined with the
hazards and public desire for change
that every Office holder faces in time
of depression, turned the tables, de-
stroyed the $4,000 majority given
Gov. La Toilette two years ago and re-

The La Toilette forces, however
eonsoled themselves with gains in the

The Democrats have prepared Tor the
financial end of the campaign without
particular anxiety. Money Is scarce,
but it was generally agreed that less
than one-third the war chest required
in 1928 will be needed for the 1882
State effort.
Republican leaders appeared more
worried than the Democrats by the
attack on the Virginia redistricting act
of 1882 before the Supreme Court of
Appeals at Staunton. Charles G.
Berkeley of Newport News has chal-
lenged the act as unconstitutional
citing federal decisions in Mississippi
and Kentucky. He claims that the
law should be set aside and that the
State should elect its nine Representa-
