FOUR REPUBLICANS
IN WYOMING RACE
Judge Appears to Have Advan-
tage in Fight to Run Against
0'Mahoney.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHEYENNE, Wyo.. August 18.-
Four Republicans are seeking the
party's nomination for United States
Senator in Tuesdays primary elec-
ton. The successful candidate will
oppose Joseph C. O'Mahoney, who is
unopposed for the Democratic nomi-
nation. The Republican candidates
are:
Vincent Carter, Wyomings lone Rep
resentative in the House; Judge Harry
Ilsley of the seventh judicial district,
J. Elmer Brock, stockman, and M. A.
Understood, farmer. The jurist and
the cattleman are giving the Repre-
sentative a hard race, with Judge us
ley appearing at this time the most
alization of an ambition to go to the
Senate after three terms in the House.
Gov. Leslie A. Miller, Democrat,
seeking denomination, is fighting for
his political life against the aggres-
sive candidacy of Thomas D. O,Neil,
veteran cattleman, whom he defeated
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor two years ago by less than
5000 majority. Mr.. O'Neil appears
stronger than he was in 1882 and the
primary balloting is expected to be
very close
Four Republicans are rivals for
their party's gubernatorial nomina-
ton. They are: A. M. Clark, now
Secretary of State, who was Acting
Governor between the time of the
death of Gov. Frank c. Emerson and
Mr.. Miller's succession to the office;
Frank E. Lucas, former Secretary of
State, who was Acting Governor be-
tween the time of the death of Gov.
William C. Ross, in 1924, and the sue
cession of Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, his
widow, to the office; John A. Whiting,
former State engineer, and Nels H.
Smith, rancher. Mr.. Clark appeared
to have the edge In the earlier stages
of the campaign, but Mr.. Smith
notably has been gaining strength in
the last fortnight. One or the other
Of these two is expected to win.

and his record is such that he may
be continued in Office. He has had
the spending Of millions from the
Government In Washington and he
has built up big following. He has
the advantage in that his opponent,
AmeS, wealthy lumberman well over
10, has no record Of achievements to
hold up to the voters.
However, their rivalry will have lit
tie effect on the dry referendum. The
economic argument, that repeal will
add several million dollars to the
State revenues and thus ease the tax
burden, is the most powerful one en-
ployed by the vets. Moreover, the
tourist crop is the big crop in Maine,
more than $125, ,000, 900 being spent
here annually by visitors. principally
from wet States. To protect this crop
the vets urge laws that will enable
visitors, as well as natives, to buy
liquor legally.
The vets, led by Robinson Verrill,
president of the United Repeal Coun-
Gil, are confident of victory. The drys,
whose leader Is Col. Fred M. Dow,
are not as cocksure, but decidedly
hopeful. OF a score OF prominent
Portland business and political
figures, only Col. Dow himself ex-
pressed the opinion that the 50-year-
old dry law would stand Among the
outSpoken vets the consensus was
that the vote would be 2 to in
favor of repeal.
Dow Son Of Dry.
Col. Dow, incidentally, is the son
of a man who was responsible for
the enactment Of the famous dry law
in 1885, while Verrill is the grand
son Of the man who was Neal Dow's
bitterest opponent.
In 1911, when there was a vote on
repeal of the dry amendment, the
drys won by 758 votes out of a total
of 10000. September 10 about
100000 voters will go to the polls,
and, as Verrill points out, nobody
under the age of AZ has ever had the
opportunity to express his opinion on
this question at the ballot box.

HORTLAND, Me, August IS IN.
- A.N.A).-The famous saying,
| "As Maine goes, so goes the
Il Nation" may soon be revised
to "As the Nation goes, so goes
Maine" For Monday, September 10,
the voters of the State will decide
whether it will remain dry or join
the growing list of wet States.
On that date, which is also the
date Of the biennial State election
Governor, United States SEN
ator, three members of the House of
Representatives, Legislators and other
States officers will be elected-there
will be special ballot on the re-
peal Of the twenty-sixth amendment
to the State constitution, famous for
nearly so years as the Maine dry
law.
If the amendment is repealed the
way will be paved for the State to
sell or license the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. At present nothing
stronger than 80 beer is legally on
sale, although it must be added that
many varieties of hard liquor, both
tainable in nearly every part Of the
State.
Result of National Importance.
The result of this special ballot is
Of national importance because Maine
was the first dry State in the Union,
the dry law having been in effect
since January 1, 1885. If the voters
decide to keep it in force there is
no question the drys throughout the
country will hail their decision as
an important step in the fight against
the wet forces. If the amendment
is repealed the vets will assert that
the State has put an end to the
hypocrisy of the last so years in
respect to the liquor question.
There is no question that the
amendment provides many loopholes
for the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquor, since it spe-
cifically exempts cider, the popular
drink of the farmers, and permits
liquor to be used for medicinal as
well as mechanical purposes and in
the arts. Where county authorities
interpret the law literally one may
buy almost anything he wishes in
the way of wet goods. And since
little effort is made by the State
authorities to. prevent package goods
being delivered from nearby wet States
Maine is probably as illegally wet as
any legally wet State-with a cor
responding loss of revenue.
1t is this economic phase of the
question that will decide the ballot
ing. The vote will not necessarily
follow party lines. Gov. Brann,
Democrat, is nominal wet, while
Alfred K. Ames, Republican candi-
date, is a nominal dry. But both
have avoided coming out f1at-footed
for or against repeal of the twenty
sixth amendment.
Sentiment is pretty evenly divided
as to the result of the governorship
race. Maine almost always has been
overwhelmingly Republican, but two
years ago a Democratic Governor
was elected, to the surprise of many,

RAINS SAVEPART
OF CORN IN WEST
FOR USE ASFEED
Iowa and Minnesota Sec
ton May Produce Normal
Crop.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star,
DES MONIES, Iowa, August IS
N.ANA).-Rains of the last week
have brought relief to anxious farmers
in the corn belt as the drought and
the heat wave in the Western Missis-
sippi Valley were broken.
While in much of the Southwest
and the Western corn belt area corn
was ruined beyond redemption, well
come moisture and moderate tenn
peratures came in time to insure q
corn crop of normal proportions in
Northern Iowa and Southern Mime
sofa.
This area, portion of Northeastern
Nebraska, Southeastern South Dakota
and some parts Of Wisconsin are
among the few places in the Western
Mississippi Valley where there was
much of corn crop to save. Parts
of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio previ-
ously had reported much of the crop
saved from the drought.
Hope Abandoned.
Hope for this years crop already
had been abandoned in the hardest
hit drought regions in Nebraska, the
Dakotas, Missouri, Kansas and South
western Iowa.
Throughout the areas where rains
have soaked parched soil recently
hopes for producing forage crops for
FAN and Winter feed have been re-
vived. Some of the corn that will not
produce a grain crop can be utilized
for fodder, while many acres planted
on land rented to the Government will
produce fodder corn, soy beans, Sudan
grass and hay.
In many of the Midwestern States
campaigns to save every available bit
Of feed, as suggested by President
Roosevelt, already have been put into
effect.
Look to Iowa.
Farmers in Nebraska, Kansas and
other States to the west and south of
Iowa are looking to the green pastures
and waving corndelds of Northern
Iowa and Southern Minnesota as
possible source of feed for cattle, sheep
and horses.
Government agencies plan to cut
fodder in damaged Southern Iowa
fields for live stock feed, and Nebraska
farmers have been buying Iowa corn
fields to save their starving live stock.
Iowa has an abundance Of feed in the
northern half of the State and, with
the conservation of all possible rough
age, State officials estimate that farm
ers of this State can meet the feed
situation.
More rain Is needed in the drought
areas to remedy the deficiency sus-
tanned in the last year and further to
revive pastures and raise the water
level so that streams and wells again
will supply adequate quantities OF
water for live stock.

PIG CROP SMALL THIS YEAR
$4,000 Pigs Saved This Spring in
State Compared With 10000 Last

A spring pig crop in Delaware
approximately one-fourth smaller
than for the spring of 1913 and a
prospective decrease of one-tenth
in the number of soWs to farrow in
the fall season of 1854 are shown
by the June / Pig Crop Report
made in cooperation with the Post
Office Department, according to
Richard G. Ross, Federal agricul-
tural statistician for the State.
The number of pigs saved this
spring is estimated at $1,000, COM
pared with 10000 save in the
spring of 1913, and 10000 in 1882.
A smaller number of pigs saved
per litter this spring is shown than
for the same period last year. The
smaller number, SIS pigs saved per
litter compared with 62 pigs saw
ed in the 1888 spring season, is due
partly to inclement weather at far
rowing time. However, the great
er portion of the decrease in the
pig crop is due to the reduced
number Of soWs farrowing. This
spring only about 1000 sows far
rowed, compared with approxi-
mately 5000 farrowing in the 1888
spring season, and 5000 in 1882.

CHEVROLET'S RECORD SALES
Skaters All Monthly Records Since

announced last week. Retail sales
for the month, as compiled from
dealers reports, were the basis of
the announcement. The showing
is considered especially notable in
light of experts predictions that
automotive volume in general
would fall off some IL per cent dur
ing June. Instead of receding,
Chevrolet sales showed a gain of
more than II per cent. Dealers
credit Chevrolet's new low prices,
which took effect June 2, with up
setting the prediction so far as
Chevrolet is concerned, and paw
ing the way for this substantial in
crease. Chevrolet dealers have
sold $4,000 automobile radios to
purchasers of new Chevrolet cars
