Military Rule Now Pre- vails Over Berlin Also Province of
 Brandenburg
CHANCELLOR GIVEN
 GREAT POWERS BY AN OFFICIAL DECREE
Move Results from Political Riots in Which 100
 Have Been Killed,
 l,200 Wounded

BERLIN, July 20. - The German Government has de- clared martial law over Ber- lin and the Province of Bran- denburg and with military precision moved Swiftly to clamp down a Dictatorship over the huge State of Prus- sia.
 The move followed critical pressure on the Government to stop political riots which have taken 100 dead and 1,- 200 injured during the past three weeks.
 Chancellor von Papen has been appointed Commissioner of Prussia and Lord Mayor Franz Bracht, of Essen, has been named the Chancellor's assistant.
 Dictatorial power has been given in von Papen's name to his assistant.
 The decree of martial law was issued when Karl Sever- ing, Prussian Minister of the Interior, declined to accept President von Hindenburg's emergency decree as binding and declared he would yield only to force.
 Gen. von R u n d S e d t has been placed in charge of Ber- lin and Brandenburg under the martial law order.

MARTIAL LAW DECLARED BY GERMAN GOVERNMENT
Hard Campaign No Worry to Garner for He
 Has Stumped State of Texas On H0rseback

WASHINGTON, July 20.-It will be something new to this genera tion to see Cactus Jack" Garner mount the political stump.
 Down in Texas, where a district that lacks just four square miles of being as large as the whole state of Maine has sent him to Congress for IS consecutive terms, the old-timers may remember him as a hard-riding, straight-talking horseback campaigner.
 But, to the younger crowd, he is known as man whose constituents have thought so highly of their representative that he has found It necessary to make only a few cam- paign speeches in years. It will be to his behavior on the house floor, then, that observers will have to look for clue as to what sort of a campaign the Democratic Vice residential candl- date will be.
 On the basis of t1iis, his public may expect colorful and fearless speeches, a dominant thread or bluntness relieved with touches of wit and humor, and NO references to manuscript or notes. He always speaks extemporaneously. His appeal largely will be to the plain people, whom he is of and 1 for.
 He speaks with his whole body, waving his arms and driving home points with his fists, but his talk 1 is of the straight from shoulder variety with no flights into oratory.
 His voice is high-pitched but his delivery is vigorous and he is noted for his ability to strip away the husks of a subject and drive at the facts and figures.
 Nervous before making a speech, he gains assurance once he is on his feet and words are clipped out with machine-gun suddenness as he warns to his subject.
 If his past record in Texas bears any evidence, he will be ready for whatever rigors the campaign may

BOMB THROWN INTO RELATIONS
 OF Z COUNTRIES
Former Australian Premier Makes Broad An
 nouncement
BLUNT STATEMENT
 ISSUED AT OTTAWA
Time Is Now for Canada to Break Away from h.
 fluence of U. 5.

OTTAWA, July 20. - An inference that the Bri t i h E m pire Trade Conference, opening here tomorrow, might prove the means of Canada to break away from the in- fIuence of the United States" has been bumped into the laps of the Empire delegates.
 Stanley Bruce, former Aus tralian P r m i e r, placed Tn blunt words the question:
 ''Will a cohesive trade pol icy within the units of the British Empire be purchased at the cost of American com mercial relations with Can ada?"
 The former Australian Premier said there is always tendency of absorption by bigger country and this ought to be Canada's chance to break away"
 Canadians seemed unprepared fol the bluntness of Bruce's pronounce ment.
 The statements carried the Can- adians back to 1911 when Con- servatives cried out in fear of an nexation over the efforts of Presi- dent Taft to institute reciproca, trade between Canada and the United States.
 No Answer
 There is no direct answer tt Bruce's suggestions but prairie farm CTS, who it is believed are ready to demand lower tariffs against British manufacturers in return fol broader markets in the United Kingdom for their products, de. clared they do not want British wheat quota.

Prohibition Battle to Center
 On Congressional Elections
SPOTLIGHT MAY SHIFT

Incidentally, this offers a field of activity for those who, for one reason or another, do not feel impelled to spend their energies and their influence on behalf of either Hoover or Roosevelt.
 Many of the friends of Senator Borah believe he will take the stump for various Senatorial nom- inees favoring prohibition, and say little meantime about the nation al ticket.
 Doubtless such repeal advocates as Alfred E. Smith and Nicholas Murray Butler will be urged to adopt a similar course on the oth- CT side of the question.
 It is conceivable that for the first time in American history the Congressional campaigns which always coincide with Presidential campaigns but regularly are over- shadowed, may in 1882 present the real drama of Presidential year

By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Staff, The Associated Press, Washington.)

Home from the Chicago conven- tions, and thinking it over, the politicians are beginning to realize the prohibition shoe is likely to pinch hardest, not in the Presi- dential race at all, but out in the local elections of Senators and Congressman.
 Under the Constitution, whoever is President after March 4, next can do very little about the dry laws. Both MT. Hoover and MT Roosevelt can-and probably will subordinate this issue to the grave question of economic recovery.
 But Congress can do a great deal about prohibition. It, no, the President, is empowered to pro- pose changes in the Constitution It alone can modify the Volsteat act. The wet and dry societies and the wet and dry leaders ir public life, have been quick to sex that, and to apply the pressure where it means something.
 It will be vastly more difficult this year than ever before for any candidate for Senate or House anywhere, to dodge and straddle

NOMINEES MUST TAKE NOTE

Of course, as the respective lead- CTS of their parties, the Presiden- tial nominees will be compelled to take some notice.
 But the very fact of the vary ing predicaments of the local Con- greSsional nominees-Such as the endorsements of Republican re- pealists and Democratic drys- is sure to soften somewhat the ut- terances at the top of the tick cts, and center the real issue fur their down.
