 If Harvey Bailey, the former Missouri farm boy now characterize ad by federal authorities as the na- Hons most dangerous criminal, vbeats the rap" at his trial for kidnaping in Oklahoma City, he Mil still have before him the threat of death in the electric chair fn Kansas for his part in the Kan sas City Union Station massacre or four officers and their prisoner last June. Bailey and Albert Bates, alleged lieutenant in his gang of kldnaperS and bank robbers, are to be tried h federal court in Oklahoma City en Sept IS. They are charged with the Kidnapping of Charles r, Urs- t11el, Oklahoma City oil million fire, for whose release a ransom of $200,000 Is said to have been paid.
 Of all the crimes charged against Bailey. the Urchel Kidnapping and the Kansas City slaughter stand out as among the most daring.
 2 Massacre Shocked Nation.
 s The excitement ca used by Railey's thrilling escape from the Kansas penitentiary last Memorial Day, when he Kidnapped the warden and led 10 other convicts in suc- cessful dash for liberty. had hardly flied down when the nation was shocked on June 17 by the ma chine gun slaughter in Kansas City. And Bailey, according to fed efal officials, ,has been identified Rh one of the two men who operat- Cd the guns that poured their deadly rain of lead into the un- suspectlng officers.
 1t happened this way:
 sTrank Nash. escaped train rob Bhr and alleged member of the Railey gang, had been captured at Hot Springs, Ark and was being returned to the federal prison at Ieavenworth, Kan, Via Kansas City. .o .,o,. ussoror emerged from Kansas City's, depot md entered an auto for the drive te Leaven worth. Just US they seated themselves In the car, Nash -aeither as a signal to the gang that was waiting to rescue nm from the law or to show them that hc was dcuffed-ritised his man acled hands above his mead.
 A Deadly Fusiliadc.
 Instantly. Il roar or machlhe gnn fire burst from a nearby auto containing several men. Four or ficers and Nash were killed one of the victims was Raymond J' Cnffrey, a special agent for the J. $. department of justice and Immediately the federal govern ment stepped into action.
 The auto containing the machine gunners dashed away and disnp- peared but government says 1t has nostive proof that Harvey Bailey manned one of the machine guns and gave the order. to start firing The gang. apparently. was plan ming to deliver Nash before the officers could get back to the pepitentlary.

It would seem to me that 1t is nearly time that the republicans started to discuss some issues that will have some bearing on the elec- tion.

 The majority for ratification of the repeal amendment was more than 1b,000 out of a total vote of approximately Ss,000.
 1t was a bright, fair election day and farmers turned out almost 100 per cent, majority of them holding true to the prohibition cause which Idaho first embraced IS years ago. This vote was offset however, by the wet sentiment oi cities--such as Boise, Pocatello Idaho Falls, Twin Falls-as well as the mining region of northern Idaho.
 Senator William F. Borah, long champion of absolute federal pro hibition failed to participate Tn the anti-repeal campaign. Ills home precinct, Boice No. 1, joined with the rest of the city in repudiatine prohibition.
 Despite Idaho's rejection of pro- hibition, hard liquor will remain illegal here as the state dry law will remain effective until the people or legislature change 1t. A recent special session of the legis. lature legalized beer but left other phrases of the prohibition law un' changed.

VOTING IS HEAVY
DESPITE HEAT

Despite the excessive heat,
Alexandrians today turned out
en- masse to vote in the Demo
cratic primary for governor and
city officials.
At 10 o'clock 900 votes had
been cast in the six wards and
the 5000 vote total predicted by
all party leaders was expected to
materialize.
In the race for the general
assembly seat now held by j.
Fred Birrell, C. B. Lanham and
Paul L. Delaney all claimed that
they will be nominated by at least
200 plurality, while their claims
are bitterly contested by Thomas
w. Priest, who has support among
the younger voters, and Joseph H.
Kretchner.
In the three-cornered race for
civil and police Judge, a last
minute trend back to w. S.
Snow, the present incumbent, is
expected to raise his plurality to
over 700 over F. G. Duvall and
Irving Diener.
For the first time in several
years, the race for the Democratic
nomination for governor is a
wide open affair, with Smith
conceded the edge locally by
1000 majority, according to E. F.
Hoffman, in charge of his cam
paign, and by $50, according to
John w. Tulloch, local Peery
leader. All admit that the vote
for Mr.. Deal will be negligible.

coo, ,OOO."
In his book Mr.. O'Connor as
serts that the fortune was sub
stantially increased by tax re-
ductions passed during Mr.. Mel
Ions secretaryship. Mr.. O'Con-
nor writes:
"For a family whose taxable
income hOvered around $5,O0O,-
900 q year, as did the Melons,
the saving for 1925 over the
1921 rate was about $2,315,OOO.
His personal saving, as con.
trasted with the 1924 rate, was
estimated at $828,349."
