he was reinstated by the present
Cuban government, and recently

Primaries Rebuff Senators
Seeking State Boss Roles
Recent Elections Reveal
Many Voters Are Bit
terly Opposed To Old

ivy Associated Preaaf
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20
Time was when a United States
ssnstoFship often meant that the
wearer Of the senatorial toga ex-
sreised political domination over
the party machinery in his state.
u stili is true in some instances.
Husy Long Of Louisiana is the
political czar in his state. Matthew
Nicely Of West Virginia recently
Demonstrated his power when a 90
ysaF.0ld youth. who had his bless
ing, sopPed the democratic sena-
toyisl nomination from two veter-
an politicians.
Political observers, however.
have noted that thus far in the
1884 primaries there has been a
tendency for the voters to kick
over the traces Of senatorial boss
Ism. Especially has this been
true among some of those happily
situated democratic senators who
have republican colleagues.
With their party i'm power. con-
troll Of ordinary patronage in their
states rests exclusively with them.
Such control is. in itself, a power
ful weapon in carrying out state
democratic leadership.
"a Hasn't Worked Out
but what actually has happen
ed? Take the situation in Ohio,
Cor example. Senator Buckley oc-
eupics a unique position there.
Yet in the recent Ohio primaries
Buckley apparently suffered de-
cisiye defeat i'm his effort to di-
rect the course of democratic af-
fairs through loss of the sena-
torial nomination for his man,
Representative West.
Step along to Missouri. There
another young democratic sena-
Bennett Clark-who inherit
ed great name in politics and
who showed indications of being
ambitious 20 become party master
IN Missouri. saw his hopes smash
ed when his candidate ran third
for the senatorial nomination.
In California there are reports
the leadership of Senator McAdoO
n threatened by the possibility of
an "interloper" capturing the
democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton.
White House Attitude
Divided senatorial representa-
ton almost invariably encourages
attempts by the senator of the
dominant party to set himself up
~ the boss in that state.
The 1884 primaries TO date
have shown this clearly. Thus far,
however. il has been the bosses
within the state. many of whom
never held office or have gone to
Washington in an official capa-
city, who have Outmaneuvered
their senatorial rivals for party
power.
Just what the White House
thinks about the unkind blows pri-
maries have dealt democratic SEN
at0rs with state boss aspirations
Is not of record. Examination OF
the attitude on some aspects Or
Mr.. ROosevelt's policy, shown by
some of these senator's in the two
recovery sessions of congress,
would suggest, however. the presi-
dent might have greeted the news
with private chuckles.

MUNCIE. Ind. May ia des-
perate struggle above the clouds in
which Raymond Williams, Muncie
airplane pilot, knocked out a pas
senger who attempted to commit
suicide. was related today by Off
Gals of city airport.
Pilot Williams brought his plane
to earth with his unconscious pas
senger after regaining control OF
the ship at 500 feet.
Refs L. Schwer, 10, arranged for
a flight at the airport yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Williams was assigned
to take him up. AT 1000 feet the
pilot noticed young Schwer was at
tempting to crawl out and had one
foot on the wing.
Pilot Williams seized Schwer'S
coat but the latter pulled free. The
pilot put his plane in glide, re-
moved his fire eXtinguisher and
struck the youth over the head.
For three minutes Mr.. Williams
struggled to return the unconscious
Schwer to the cockpit When this
was accomplished the plane was
only 500 feet up.
After their return to the airport,
Schwer told police that he had
brooded over low grades received
at Central high school. Police eX-

spondent over a love affair and in
tended to jump into the yard of
his girl friend.
