WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Anx-

The California primaries are as

Therein the Republicans will

AND DOES CONSTANCE
JUST LOVE BAKED BEANS?

I know now after seeing Con-
stance Bennett in 1.-TWO Against
the World" the way to win a So
ciety dame is to feed her beans and
defend the poor.
The second that Connie went on
a bean diet with her boy friend, a
young attorney who defends the
poor against the rich, the world
was jake.
And the beans were such good
mental food that Connie went on
the witness stand to keep her
brother from going to the electric
chair.
Connie spilled a lot of beans but
they were of the sensational order.
And she cleared her brother of muir
der and kept right on eating beans
with the attorney fellow.
Am trying to tell you that you
have new Constance Bennett in
Two Against the World" This is
the first time that she has i'm
pressed me as being an actress Of
real worth.
Previously she has just been a fad,
clothes rack upon which directors
and costume designers hung fancy
clothes.
This story is the old yarn of a
high society dame who comes
human, even eating beans on stool
with young attorney.

he has ever been on the screen. He

fine acting.

Lobbyist Works Free as
HOOver'S New Secretary
Salary of E. T. Clark Paid
by Drug Concern; Per-
feet Aid to Coolidge.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press staff Correspondent

Copyright. 1882, by United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover'S new White
House secretary is working for
nothing, it has been disclosed.
E. T. Clark, one of the Coolidge
secretaries, and now Washington
contact man" for the largest drug
concern in the country, was loaned
to the White House at the request
of Mr.. Hoover.
Some mystery was stirred up over
the matter, but the facts are simple
Secretary Theodore JoSlin was
worn out, and had to take a vaca-
ton. White House business was
driving the whole staff at a hard
pace. Mr.. Hoover needed additional
help.
Clark made a reputation under
Coolidge as one of the most popu-
lar and efficient of all White House
secretaries. He operated much as
did Joseph P. Tumulty under Wood
row Wilson.
When Coolidge retired Clark was
picked up quickly by Louis K. Lig-
gett, the Boston drug man who real
lied his value as a Washington con-
tact manor lobbyist.
Clark was made vice-president of
Drug, Inc, the general holding COM
pany of the Liggett interests, with
assets of nearly $60,080,000 and
highly important business here.
Clark is drawing a liberal SAL
airy, and some time ago refused an
offer of a permanent White House
job for financial reasons. This time
Mr.. Hoover appealed to him to
serve temporarily, so Drug, Inc,
is loaning him to the White House
and paying his salary

Anxious Eyes of Politics
on CALIFORNIA; Primary

feated the Democrats can put the
Golden state in the doubtful COL
umn, and go to work with real
hope of winning its increased cleo
toral votes.
Senator Sans chief worry is
young and plump state Senator
Tallant TubbS, rich scion of a San
Francisco manufacturers family.
Tubbs is wringing wet and a
spectacular campaigner in his auto

In the south Shortridge's oppon-
ents are two drys, the Rev. Bob
Shuler, radio evangelist, and Con-
gresham Joe Grail, and one wet,
Leo YoungWorth, lawyer.
Shortridge came out for resub-
mission but against repeal, deserted
Hoover on the world court, and
made other strange vote-catching
gestures. The divided field may re-
nominate him.
The Democratic fight equally is
bitter. William Gibbs McAdoo,
who stole the show at Chicago
and the Democratic organization in
California, is opposed by Justus
