Party Leaders OF State Unite

ROOSEVELT SUPPORTED
Union OF EPIC And New Deal
Ideas Offered To Voters In

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 81. - Cali
fornia's official Democracy stood
behind Upton Sinclair, former So.
cialist, today as the November cleo
ton campaign disclosed a situation
unique in the states history
The party conventions ended with
Democrats pledging support to Sin
clair as the Bourbon gubernatorial
candidate running on modified
EPIC" platform; with the. Repub-
licans presenting Governor Frank F..
Merriam with a campaign vehicle
almost as liberal as Sinclair'S; and
the other major governorShip can
didate, Raymond L. Haight, having
the support of the Commonwealth
party only.
Developments in the Democratic
convention, particularly, tossed pre-
cedent to the winds. Sinclair, who
renounced his Socialist party mem
bership only last year, became uni
ted with such regular party lead
ers as U. S. Senator William Gibbs
McAdoo, Maurice Harrison, state
committee chairman, and George
Creel, the defeated governorship
candidate.
A platform which comprised the
EPIC" program-Sinclair's End
Poverty in California" plan and
tIrntInl1
the convention SO fast that anti
Sinclair forces were unable to halt
the progress of the "steamroller.
Fundamentally the Democratic
platform includes salient features of
the EPIC" plan which was hailed
by many Democrats as farfetched
Socialistic dream. ......
Support President
The platform pledged support to
President Roosevelt and to Sinclair;
it proposed repeal of the state sales
tax and substitution of an income
tax; pledged the party to the policy
of putting unemployed to work at
productive labor, enabling them to
produce what they themselves are
to consume. The platform also
pledged support to cooperative self
help groups.
To commence and comlete the
immense Central Valley water pro-
ject it urged a system of coopera-
ton in which the farmers would
furnish their surplus food products
for the workers in exchange for
credits good for water and power
when the project is completed. Fed
eral aid would be expected to fin,
ance the other costs.
The Democrats also recognized
the right of labor to organize and
favored the five day work week and
the six-hour work day without a
corresponding reduction in wages.
They pledged cooperation with the
federal government in adoption OF
social insurance and advocated a
law prohibiting primary candidates
from filing with any party except
the one wherein they are registered.
The platform also proposed exemp-
ton OF small homes and farms from
taxation. r..
Each side made concession is the
platform but Sinclair was regarded
as the victor in the right for party
domination. Predicted convention
battles failed to materialize due to
the efficient Sinclair organization
and the cooperation of party lead

Hollywood Can Now Create
Bushes With Machine

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 20.-The
technicolor people have invented
a way to make an actress blush
on the screen. The machine, which
for lack Of a better name, Is called
the mood light" is being used
for the first time on Ann Harding
in the Walter Wanger production,
Peacock Feather"
In addition to blushing, it pro-
duces other startling effects, such
as the greenish shades Of mal.de-
mer (seasickness to you and mel I,
the dark eye circles Of the morn
ing after, the pasty.white shades
of fear or anger and so on into
nearly every other emotion that
can be associated with color.
The effects are secured by many
colored lights so arranged on a
pivot that they can be whirled in
front Of a reflector and directed
upon the face of a performer. The
beam from the reflector can be
split into four threads Of light, all
or one Of which can be directed
at any portion Of the performers

fine, sincere performance as the

more for effective novelty than
for emotional reaction, but they
will be intrigued. Lionel Atwill,

Dead Mems Gold Mine

They advanced through the thick bush look

the brothers might have marked the way into
their claim Traces were few, for more than
a quarter of century had elapsed. In that
country with its heavy snowfalls, high winds
and heavy rains, markings would soon be
erased.
Then, one day, one of them saw through the
heavy carpet of leaves, twigs dead trees which
are found in this virgin territory, an age-black-
ened stump which could only have been made
by sharp ak. They were on the trail.
Now more tree stumps cut through by an
ak, were seen. Then one Of them spied the
outline of shelter, poles placed to hold tent.
They were nearer the lost mine.
The map showed the proximity Of the mine.
Some one saw squared stake standing out OF
the ground. There were markings. The name
Mcleod could still be made out. That stake
was a corner post on the Mcleod claim.
It did not take long to find the shelter in
which the brothers lived. There they found
some tools, sluice boxes, gold pans, and so on.
