Discovery of small, strange
fly that apparently bridges the
evolutionary gap between two
great insect families was an

such as the botfly, which preys

BALTIM o R E, Oct. 81
(I.N.S.) ).-President Hoover
opened his whirlwind drive for
the Eastern seaboard here to-
day with a vigorous attack
on the Democratic tariff policy
and efforts of the Democratic
controlled House at the last
session to issue So, 100000, 600
in fiat currency.
The President also condemned
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt for
having said here a, few days ago
that the U. S. Supreme Court
was controlled" by the Repub-
lican party This, the Executive
said, is untrue. He declared:
"The Republican party stands
today, as the safeguard against
a series of measures which
would drive this country from
the foundations which $50 years
of constructive building has
wrought"
A large crowd was assembled
around an improvised platform in
Mount Royal Station.
Roosevelt Satire Target
President Hoover was intro.
duced by Edwin j. Baetjer, Balti-
more attorney, who has been one
of the chief financial mainstays
for the Republicans of Maryland
for many years.
His introduction consisted in
the main of a satirical attack on
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and
his forgotten man" issue.
Baetjer described the Demo
cratic candidate as the product of
inherited wealth and position,
without which background, he
said, "Mr. Roosevelt never would
have attained his present posi-
tion.' He added:
81 am sure I am right when
I say he never attained any
marked professional distinc-
ton"
Governor Roosevelt, he said, had
attended "the most exclusive
schools" and had been reared in
"an environment of wealth, ease
and luxury"
Hoover COntrasted
Then, by contrast, he pictured
Mr.. Hoover'S career-born on an
Iowa farm, left an orphan at an
early age, a struggle for educa-
ton. hard work from early child
hood; and finally the attainment
of eminence by dint of his own
efforts.
Governor Roosevelt, Baetjer
concluded, does not have as inti-
mate a knowledge of "the for.
gotten man" as Mr.. Hoover.
Slightly behind schedule, Mr..
Hoover left Baltimore at noon,
with a five-minute stop added at
Newark, Del. next on the sched.

whistles heralded Mr.. Hoover's ar.

RALEIGH, N. c., June 4.-Clear- -cut
division between senatorial candidates
on the prohibition issue, coupled with
intense interest in the States economic
situation involved ir the race for Gov
ernor, today drew North Carolina Demo-
Gratis and Republicans to the polls in
numbers which were generally expected
to set new primary vote record
Cameron Morrison sought election to
the Senate seat to which he was ap-
pointed by Gov. o. Max Gardner. on
his record as former Governor and of
service to the party and on a bone dry
plank, while his principal opponent. R
r. Reynolds of Asheville. made repeal
of the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act his principal appeal.
In the Republican Senate contest,
Jake F. Newell, dry nominee Of the
State convention, was opposed by George
w. De Priest, newcomer In higher
political circles, who announced fer
repeal.
1t was the first time since 1907. when
North Carolina went dry, that the
liquor question has been an issue in a
primary or election.
Running for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Governor were J. c. B. Ehring-
haus Of Elizabeth City, A. j. Maxwell,
State commissioner of revenue, and
Richard T. Fountain lieutenant COVER
nor Ehringhaus and Maxwell have
made governmental economy the prin-

COLUMBUS. Ohio, June 4-The Sc
lection Of former Senator Atlee Pom

his name to the Democratic National
Convention, and the announcement that
President HBover has indicated that he
wishes James r. Garfield of Mentor
Ohio, to be the chairman of the Com
mittee on Resolutions in the Republi-
can National Convention, have caused
comment on both sides of the party
line here. Pomerene has been an out
spoken wet, and as such has earned
the severest censure from the Anti
Saloon League, while Gov White has
always been classed as dry. In an
address to the State w. c. T. U. the
Governor recently indicated that In his
opinion there could be no really valid
argument against resubmiSsion of the
eighteenth amendment to the States
in the constitutional way. This and his
selection of Senator Pomerene to place
his name before the convention lead
some to surmise that the Governor is
slipping from his old dry moorings
When James r. Garfield was a men,

flected the pronounced dry sentiment

stated that he had changed his views

been in practical retirement from poll
tics since the Bull Moose movement
in 1912 in which he was leader How
ever, he is believed to be still dry, and

here to mean that President Hoover

Two years ago DR.. Brinkley was un-

On that score. his campaign worries

EDGE BOOSTS HOOVER
CHANCES IN JERSEY
Organization Forces Strong In.
dcrsement of President in
State Convention.
BY EDWARD NJ. GILROY.

Srec-aI Dispatch TO l ne star.
TRENTON, N. j., June 4-President
Hoover gained ground in New Jersey
during the past week, when the old
Edge organization forced a strong in
dcrsenent of the President in the State
convention. 1t represented defeat for
the legislative leaders supporting an
anti-Hoover movement.
Every effort was made by the legis-
1ative group to prevent a strong indorse-
ment. Had the original plank prepared
by Senate Majority Leader Richards
been adopted, the party workers would
have taken the position of cutting
themselves loose from the national
ticket
In spite of the action, Senator Rich
ards and Edward c. Stokes, former
Governor, advised workers they could
not count upon the head of the ticket
to carry local candidates along as in
past presidential years Instead, these
leaders advised the organization men
and women to devote all their efforts
to electing local officers as the best
chance to carry the national ticket
The convention adopted the wettest
position ever taken by the party in New
Jersey, going on record for repeal of the
State enforcement laws in addition to
the Federal statutes.
The Democrats. under leadership of
Mayor Frank Hague, are extremely
confident. Hague told his county lead
ers the party could carry the IA con-
gressional seats if the workers would
produce.

RICHMOND, Va, June with pro-
hibition looming as the only subject Of
debate, the State Democratic Conven-
tion, which meets in Richmond Thurs:
day, June 9, promises to be one Of the
most harmonious gatherings which
Virginia Democrats have had in the
history of their party. Even the wet
and dry issue is not expected to cause
the acrimony which has accompanied
its discussion in past years. 1t now
seems likely that the convention will
adopt a resolution favoring a national
referendum on prohibition.
With virtual unanimity the convenr
ton will adopt resolution instructing
the States delegates to Chicago to cast
their votes for former Gov. Harry F.
Byrd for the nomination. 1t is equally
certain that any other action the con-
vention may take will be in conformity
with Byrd's views
Gov. John Garland Pollard will be

speaker. j. Sinclair Brown, Speaker Of

ROOSEVELT FACES
FEUD OF OLD DAYS
Erie-Niagara Districts Have
Not Forgotten Fight for
Senate in 1911.
BY CHARLES H. ARMITAGE.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BUFFALO,, June 4.-Gov. Roosevelt
will have to reckon on at least two votes
out OF six which the Erie Niagara dis
tricts send to Chicago who will not sup
port him IN his presidential aspiration.
These are Assemblyman Anthony j.
Canney and Councilman Thomas j.
ODonnell. Both represent the forty
second congressional district, where
politics Is a year-round activity and
where they have good memories for
political deeds and misdeeds.
1t was back In 1911 when he entered
the New York State Senate as a fresh
faced young Senator from his Hyde Park
home environment that Gov. Roosevelt
was guilty of what the Buffalo water
front lists as misdeed, for which fitting
penance must be meted out. That was
the year which saw the close of Chaun-
cey M. Depew's public career. Likewise
it saw the New York Democrats in con-
troll of both branches of the Legisla-
ture.
An early and active aspirant for the
Depew senatorial shoes was the late
William F. Sheehan, former Buffalo
nian, then resident Of New York City.
With the aid of Tammany Hall and a
goodly smattering Of upstate Senators
and Assemblymen Sheehan was made
the caucus choice for the senatorship.
And then he struck snag in the
shape of an insurgent bloc which had
refused to participate in the caucus and
who gradually began to look for leader
ship to Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The fledgling Senator wasn't really the
leader. He was made so more by the
newspaper men on duty at the Capitol
during the long deadlock that ensued.
But Senator Roosevelt was given the
credit for the deadlock which eventually
resulted in the election Of James A.
O'Gorman.
Down on the waterfront, in common
with the remainder of the State. they
listed Roosevelt as the insurgent leader
and down there they have never for
given him for leading the revolt against
their "Blue-eyed Billy. Since then they
have been biding their time. Now they
see a chance to strike blow for their
dead leader.

SUPPORTERS OF ROOSEVELT
ARE CONFIDENT OF NOMINATION
New York Governor Appears to Be Su-
premely Optimistic as to Outcome
of Convention.

Farley and Louis Howe, Mr.. Roose-
velts personal secretary. The confer
ences there with Democratic United
States Senators are understood to have
caused them to tell the Governor that
he is virtually assured of the nomina-
ton, either on the first ballot or one
of the first half dozen. Mr.. Farley's
prediction in the public press that he
believes the stop Roosevelt" movement
Is about to collapse Is said to have ac-
tually been exceeded in optimism in the
reports that were given to the Gov
ernor's private ear.
In many quarters the belief prevails
that If State Chairman Farley has ac-
curately gauged the strength of the
Roosevelt support in the national con-
vention 1t may have the effect of in
creasing the Governors delegate sup
port in the New York State group.
At present the Governors close
friends are predicting he will have
at least As of the States "a delegates
on the first ballot. Some Of the more
optimistic Roosevelt supporters are fig
urlng that, II 1t develops, as they
hope, that the Governor will be the
only real contender when the conven-
ton convenes. there will be a concerted
lQ>ii tIlc NcW OIk oLdCc O6le-
gates to support the Roosevelt drive.
Hopes to Garry State.
Mr.. Roosevelt's staggering plurality
Of 75o,00l over his Republican opponent
in the last State election, November,
1880. had led scores Of Democratic lead
ers to believe his nomination would
about insure him carrying New York
State. However, 1t is now conceded
that if the more rabid Smith sup
porters should feel their favorite has
been sighted it might cause them to
eVince lack of interest around election
time with the result that Mr. Roose-
velt's chances of victory in the State
might be dimmed
However. it is hoped BY many lead
ers that If Mr.. Roosevelt is nominated
former Gov. Smith will be induced to
support him on the stump in New York,
Massachusetts, and other Eastern States
