IN ARIZONA RACE
Moeur-Hunt Battle for Gov

WITH MILD CAMPAIGN
Isabella Greenway Finds Little
to Fear in Quest for
Reelection.
BY the Associated Press.


PHOENIX, Ariz, September 8.
George w. P. Hunt, seven
times Governor, and B. B.
Moeur, country physician who
defeated him two years ago, will
trade ballot-box blows again in
Tuesdays Democratic primary.
Henry F. Ashurst, senior Unit
ed States Senator, faces perhaps
the toughest competition of his
22-year Washington career.
Hunt, now rs years old, an
nounced his permanent" retire.
ment after Moeur, one-time
Hunt political appointee, defeat
ed him by 5000 votes in 1882
the first time Hunt had been
beSted in a primary since Ari-
zona became a State in 1912.
When the battle lines were being
drawn this year, however, the
old warrior needed the call.
Moeur entered the lists on his one
term record, asking the voters for a
second term on the ground that two
years have not been sufficient time
to round out his governmental pro-
gram.
Contesting with these two for the
States 123,6 $50 registered Democratic
votes are two other aspirantS-
James (Jimmy) Minotto, investment
broker, dairyman and cowboy State
Senator, related by marriage to the
Swifts of packing fame, and r. c.
Stanford, former Superior Court
judge.
Ashurst, in Washington as Repre-
sentative or Senator since statehood,
finds himself one Of a Democratic
field Of five. His four opponents cam
paigned briskly before he returned to
Arizona from Washington this Sum-
mer. After opening his personal cam
paign only recently, he has made few
speeches, and has announced ~ am
standing on my record"
Opposing Ashurst are Sidney p. Os-
born, Arizona's collector of internal
revenue; William Coxon, unsuccessful
aspirant for congressional nomination
two years ago against Lewis w. Doug
las, recently resigned as Federal di-
rector of the budget; REM L. Jen-
nings, Maricopa County attorney, and
Charles Rutherford, attorney, for sew
eral years civilian aide to the Secre-
tary of War in Arizona.
For Congress, Isabella Greenway,
chosen at a special election last year
to succeed Douglas when he accepted
the budget appointment. has consid-
cred herself certain of the Democratic
nomination, and has campaigned
little. Her opponent is Frank H. Hill
geman, Salt River Valley farmer.
Republicans have candidates in the
field for some Offices, but the State
Central Committee has announced all
will withdraw and the Republican
ticket filled by the convention method
after the primary.
The Democratic registration OF 123,-
$50 Is the largest on record. The in
crease over the pre-primary registra- &.
ton of 1882 is 1880. The Repub-
lican registration of 1888 marks q
decrease of 14,734 compared with the
1882 primary.

Periodic Clinics
Held for Cripples
In Many Counties
Health Departments and
Maryland League
Unite in Work.
BY ]. C. DEPONAI.

BALTIMORE, September 8.-Peri-
odic orthopedic clinics, under joint
direction Of the Maryland League Of
Crippled Children and the county
departments of health, are now being
held in IL of the % counties, ac-
cording to a report of the State
Health Department. The counties are
Allegany. Anne Arundel, Cecil, Fred
erick, Garrett, Hartford, Howard,
Kent, Talbot, Wicomico and Worces-
ter, Southern Maryland being the
only section Of the State not having
regular stated clinics in some county.
The examinations are arranged for
by the league and are made by spe-
cialists, all of whom are connected
with the orthopedic departments Of
the Johns Hopkins Hospital, the hos
pital of the University of Maryland,
the Herman Hospital or the Children's
Hospital School. The clinicians give
their services without charge and fur
nish their own transportation. All
other expenses connected with the
clinics have been financed by the
league.
AS far as possible, the clinics are
nelQ IN local nOSplCdlS. Braces, SnOeS
or other appliances are supplied
contributions from interested
individuals or local groups, particu-
larly the service clubs in the county
in which the patient lives.
The Maryland League for Crippled
Children is an outgrowth Of an
earlier organization established more
than 80 years ago by the Council of
Jewish Women, in Baltimore, for the
purpose of providing braces and ap-
pliances for physically handicapped
children who were unable to obtain
them otherwise, and to secure hos
pital care and other needed attention
for them.
AS the children who were affected
by the infantile paralysis outbreak
in 1916 began to reach school age
the need for more extensive and for
activities led to the or
ganization in 1927 Of the State as

RAINS ENCOURAGE
KANSAS FARMERS
Optimism Is Noted in State
Survey Despite Ravages
of Record Drought.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, September 8
(NAN.A)- You have to give it to
the Kansas farmer. He has what it
takes. Cheered by week end rains,
ranging up to nearly inches and
fairly general over the State, the
farmer is out by the thousands this
week, plowing, narrowing and seed
ing for Fall pasture. His optimism
has been curbed by the drought, but
his courage is undaunted and he is
starting on a new crop and what he
hopes is the beginning of a new day.
That is the outstanding feature of
the present farm situation found by
the writer in a weeks trip over the
State No one believes the rains SO
far have been sufficiently heavy to
break the back of the three-year
drought. Everybody, even in the best
crop sections, is tremendously worried
about the Winter feed situation. But
no one is deserting the farm and, with
the help of the parity price payments
of the Government. every one is hope
full he has touched bottom and will
work through.
There is no question of the tremen-
dous blow the drought has struck
Kansas agriculture. Even to the un-
informed, the figures on the liquida-
ton of cattle and hogs would bring
it home. To the man who has been
hauling water for weeks, feeding up
his short supply of Winter roughage
or even in cases of driving cattle along
roadsides for grazing, it has been a
very real. personal thing.
Two things, besides the rain, have
been Of cheering nature-the in
creased prices for most farm products
over a year ago and the arrival of ad-
ditional benefit payments from the
Government. Some of the corn-hog
money and second checks on the 1888
wheat crop adjustment are beginning
to arrive.
Action taken by Washington to
establish a central purchasing and
distribution Office in Kansas City to
provide feed for live stock in the
Drought area has proved of interest.
How serious this feed outlook is on
many farms is seen in the fact that
Western Kansas farmers have been
stacking Canadian thistleS and that
in Southern Kansas wheat straw is
quoted at $3.50 a ton in the stack
before baling or hauling.
Farmers are relying upon further
rains to bring quick growth of Fall
pasture to halt the liquidation of
their cattle. So far, the sales of
droughty cattle to the Government
have largely been poorer stuff culled
from the herds. Should the feed situ-
alton become so desperate as to re-
quire the widespread sale of good milk
cows and good beef cows, it is recog-
ni5ed it would be a calamity, since
such COWS are part of the permanent
farm operations and could not be re-
placed later at anywhere near the
prices at which they would sell now.

ACKSON, Miss, September g.
Senator Hubert D. Stephens
continued to have the edge of
~ Theodore G. Bilbo, twice Gov
ernor of Mississippi, in the
Democratic race for the United States
Senate this week, with the primary
final set for September 18, only 10
days off.
Stephens entered the second pri-
mary with a little more than a 500
plurality. The developments of the
last II days favorable to Stephens
are:
l. The open support of Representa-
tive Ross Collins, eliminated from
the race after polling 80 per cent of
the vote cast in the first primary.
2. Denial by Albert E. Easterling,
State commander of the Disabled
American Veterans, that the organiza-
ton would support Bilbo, assertion by
him that several leaders would support
Stephens and public denunciation by
him of State Adjt. w. w. Sterling,
who was backing Bilbo.
3. Apparent swing of the teacher
vote from Collins to Stephens.
BilbO Also Has Breaks.
But Bilbo had his good breaks, too.
They are:
!. Withdrawal of State Senator
John Lumpkin from the second pri-
mary race against Representative
Bill Colmer of South Mississippi.
2. The swing of labor vote from
Collins to Bilbo. However, the labor
vote in Mississippi, State largely
agricultural, is not strong in num-
bers.
1t is generally believed that
Stephens will get the Collins vote by
so to IS per cent. The open indorse-
ment of Representative Collins has
its weight. Too, Collins stressed the
fact that Senator Stephens is a
stanch supporter of the New Deal.
The most interesting swing of the
D. A. v. vote to Stephens came un-
expectedly. Stephens had been criti-
cized severly in the campaign in sup
porting the administration by voting
against the immediate and full pay
ment of the so-called soldier bonus.
The D. A. V. leaders openly sup
ported and actively campaigned for
Collins. This vote, perhaps errone-
ously estimated at $4,000 in Missis-
sippi, no doubt will be split between
the two, Stephens and Bilbo. State
Adjutant Sterling questioned the state
ment of State Comdr. Albert Easter

DR.. Gruening did not want to

in regard to Alaska, Puerto Rico,
the Hawaiian Islands and the
Virgin Islands, all of which are
now under the Department of
Interior.
But DR.. Gruening admitted
that the. question of raising one

AUTOMOBILE PLANTS
In TWILIGHT STAGE
Production During Week at Low
Ebb Due to Shutdowns of
Varying Duration.
BY the Associated Press.

Dy the ASoOCldbSu FIeSs.
DETROIT, September 8.-The au-
tomobile industry is in its annual
twilight" period between the wind
ing up of production of current types
and the fabricating of new models.
With production during Labor day
week at low ebb. due to shutdowns of
varying duration, the distribution di-
vision was able to catch up rather
closely with the limited accumulation
of stock on hand, but the suspension
of manufacturing activity was not
pointed toward the retooling of
plants for new model work.
Virtually all of the plants that sus-
pended operations over the week end
and Labor day are reSuming produc-
ton on their current models. The
Ford Motor Co. closed down for eight
working days prior to the Labor day
holiday and resumed operations last
Tuesday
The industry does not expect any
immediate change in the downward
trend of buying interest for its cur
rent models. At the same time the
plans of most producers call for con-
tinued production of these types.
Just how long they will continue
| turning out cars from the 1884 pat
terms still is a matter of debate in
trade circles. There is every indica-
tion that assembling of current
models will continue until demand
has fallen of to a considerably lower
level than is at present noted.
| Just what volume of sales must be
maintained to make continued produc-
ton of current models profitable is a
moot question throughout the in
dustry. Profits in the motor car in
dustry have been curtailed, although
distribution has increased over last
year. This was tacitly admitted late
last Spring when, to recapture volume
distribution, the industry had to lower
list prices which previously had been
increased because, as it was explained,
of rising cost of production.
Yet it appears certain the industry
will go along with many of the present
models for some weeks to come, even
though the volume necessary to make
operations profitable may be lacking
before the definite turn over to new
models begins.

EXPECTSPR|MARY
TO Be 1886 TEST
"OId Guard" Faces Fight
With Liberal Element
September 13.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September s.-With
an eye toward 1886, the Republican
party OF New York approaches the
September 13 primaries locked in q
stubborn struggle that promises to give
Old Guard Republicanism its severest
test since the New Deal came along.
Party members are confronted with
a situation in which State Chairman
w. Kingsland Macy-the party's Park
avenue" Leaders, urging avoidance
of "carping criticism" of the New
Deal and demanding that national is
sues be left out of the Fall campaign.
He has given tacit approval of Sam
uel Seabury, independent Democrat
and Tammany batter. as the party's
best bet for a Republican Governor
a post the Republicans have failed to
win for IL years.
Wadsworth Avoids Issue.
Opposed to this program are most
of the New York City and upstate dis
trict leaders. They demand an "out-
and-out" Republican and have at
tempted unsuccessfully to induce Rep
resentative James w. Wadsworth to
declare himself. He is running for
reelection to Congress from his up
state district.
Wadsworth, regarded as an out
standing Republican presidential pos
sibility two years hence, has avoided
stating a position on movement to
draft him to stop Seabury." Indi-
rectly, however, he expressed the belief
that nomination of Democrat would
be fatal to the State organization.
Wadsworth and district leaders have
complained bitterly against Macy's at
tempt to restrict attacks on the New
Deal, and they threaten to bring the
fight into the open.
Liberals VS.. Conservatives.
The battle is regarded as an issue
between conservatism and liberalism
in the party, with strong bearings on
the next presidential nomination by
virtue of the fact that New York State
will be in a position to furnish several
outstanding candidates for the Repub-
lican nomination.
With both Judge Seabury and Rep
resentative Wadsworth maintaining
unbroken their silence on the guberna-
torial candidacy itself, there is yet no
State ticket in the field. Only George
U. Harvey, president of the borough of
Queens in New York City. has an
nounced himself o candidate-and
that for Governor.
There has been no mention as yet
of candidate in the Republican ranks
to run against United States Senator
Royal S. Copeland, whose term expires
this year.
Lehman and Copeland Strong.
Democratic sentiment appears def
nitely behind Gov. Herbert H Lehman
and Senator Copeland for reelection,
although Postmaster General Farley
has yet to indorse the Senator's can
didacy. Copeland, a staunch Tam
manyite, is regarded as point Of
friction remaining between the reor-
ganized Tammany Hall and the ma
tional administration.
The primaries September 13 will
have no bearing on the State ticket
beyond the election of delegates to the
party nominating conventions. The
convention, to be held the last Of
September, will select candidates for
two Representatives at large, Cover
nor and United States Senator.
Candidates for 43 seats in Congress
will be nominated at the primaries.
