PRIMARY SLATE
BECOMING SNAG
FOR DEMOCRATS
Machine Leaders Reported
at Odds Over Race
for Offices.
BY DICK MILLER
Times stan Writer.

FRICTION over adVlSab llty OF lSSu-
ing a primary slate today appeared
to have leaders Of the Marion
county Democratic machine at
odds.
County Chairman H. Nathan
Swain favors stating sll incum-
bents. but where an office holder
is not seeking reelection, Mr..
Swain desires to leave the race
wide open.
On the other hand, a complete
slate is urged by William E. Clauer,
county chairman and holdover city
chairman, and z. Kirk Mckinney.
Home Owners Loan Corporation
state manager and former city
chairman. Several ward chairmen
support this view.
Balanced Tickets Sought
They contend that lack of organ
iZation states backed by machine
organization power frequently per-
mits undesirable candidates to be
nominated by chance
Organization leaders seek TO
nominate balanced tickets, in order
to have representative persons from
all factions, creeds and races on the
ticket greeting the fall voter.
Harry Toner, probate court bailiff
and prominent south side Demo-
crat, is the first to be dropped by
the machine. 1t is learned he will
not be slated for city clerk because
Probate Judge Smiley N. Chambers
is seeking denomination and the
leaders do not wish two candidates
from one court.
Sheriff Race Heated
Toner denied he will ask his sup
porters to swing behind any GER
tain candidate for the office. While
Dan j. O'Neill, 1917 South Senate
avenue, appears to have the go"
sign for the office, the machine
move may work in favor of Council
man Charles c. Morgan.
The race for sheriff, prosecutor
and juvenile court has become so
heated that some party workers are
reported to have asked Superior
Judge John W. Kern, mayoral can
didate, to persuade the party lead
ers not to slate any one for these
offices.
1t is rumored that the slate. when
and if it appears, will carry the
names Of Will T. Brown. ward
chairman twenty years and present
state excise department inspector.
for sheriff; Herbert Spencer. assist
ant city attorney, for prosecutor,
and the incumbent, Judge John F.
Geckler, for juvenile court Judge.
Others Conceded Chance
The battle between Brown and
Otto Ray, former city license in
spector, for the sheriff nomination,
some observers feel, may give other
aSpirants for the office. including
Claude E. Shower and Gar Davis, a
chance.
The fight for sheriff. prosecutor
and Juvenile judge, party leaders
fear, may result in fall election re-
prisals This will be taken up at
the final ward chairman meeting
late this week when the slate is to
be decided on finally.

HOOKING BACK"
Liberties by Married People)
By Videtta Ish
(For The Literary Service Bureau)

In our younger days married people
We're more disceet than now. Yes,
there was Jealousy. There was dan
ger from jealous husbands and wives.
But the chief deterrents were home
teachings and fear Of scandal.
Not long ago in a Missouri town an
old woman was killed. She attended
a party. The jewellers were "mestly
drunk. A married woman under in
fluence OF drink sat on the lap of a
married man. The mans wife became
angry and "took him home~. The
conduct of this woman was discussed.
The old woman gave testimony that
this younger woman did sit on the
mans lap. Enraged the younger wo-
man went to the home of her accuser
struck her over the head with a heavy
lantern and killed her.
The conduct of this married woman
is a sample of the liberties taken by
married people today. Perhaps the
reason why such things do not more
often end in tragedies caused by ieal-
ousy than they do, is because the
practice is SO general that few mar
ried perrons have right to compFain
because of their own improper con-
duct. In regard to the caution and
propriety Of the other days it seems
appropriate to nate. Them days is
gone forever"

"Whom the gods would de- troy,
They first make mad"
This is the human conception Of
heather gods. These gods were crea-
lures of the human i~magspticn. and
their creatorI attributed to
them human passions and weaknesses.
If gods were temperamental. impuI-
sive, cruel. relentless, memorable.
This axiom means. that when the
gods" decided ON the destruction Of
anyone. they provoked him to anger,
caused him to commit some act which
would be used to justify such destruc-
ton.
Of cours this is fiction. These
gods were but imaginary personages.
But there are those who are foolish
enough to apply this to the Deity.
This s foolish and wicked too, be-
cause "The Judge Of all the earth. he

Berating Leaders In
The Presence of
Children
BY r. A. Adams
tFor The Literary Service Bureau)

Among the youth of today there is
lacking respect for leaders and con-
fdence In leadership. Much Of this
is due to the mistake of parents in ex-
coriatfng these leaders in the presence
OF their children. This is especiallv
true as it concerns preachers and
teachers.
children hear it said Of preachers
and other religious leaders, "Thev are
Crooks; "They are as crooked as a
barrel of snakes; "They are grafters.
living off the churcs"; "They are as
rotten as they can be"; "They steal
everything in sight; "The preachers
are worthless and just in the minis
try for what they can get out Of t. .
School teachers come in for their
snare OF harsh, unfounded criticism.
lhey too, are berated in the presence
Of the youngsters whom they are
striving to help; and by this Their
work Is made more onerous and more
dlfficult. Even little children hear
their mothers say of the teacher. "She
don't know nothin' to teach; "She's
dumb, herself, that's why the child
rem don't learn nothing''; "She's a
mean old huzzy and I wish she didn't
have to teach my child"; and I'll raise
the devil with her if she bothers nv
child"
Often business leaders are called
"scoundreIs", "cheats'', sfakes''. and
sometimes, just plain "thieves and
robbers, who would "cheat an angel",
or who would ''steal a nickel off a
dead mans eye"
Parents of the past generation had
respect for leadership and were
mere careful in this particular. They
wanted their children to have conf
dence in their leaders; and they did
have confidence in them. But this
reckless berating of leaders in the
hearing of the youth Of today Is
rapidly undermining confidence and
doing irrep4rable injury to the cause
of progress.

President, What can We DO to help you save
the cotton business for the South7" And
surely there is q certain sense of futiity in
the pictre Of q Texas Negro lnploring a lone
Negro Congressman to edo what you can to
help save orr occupations and jobs by remov-
ing the obstacles now in the channels Of the
cotton trade"
But if there IS a certain pathos and fu-
tility reflected in this incident, there is also a
fine degree Of irony which cannot be escaped.
t is an unfortunate characteristic Of American
politics that momentous social and economic
problems seem to be recognized by practically
everyone in the country before politicians
have the remotest conception of them. The
effects Of the cotton restriction program COM
prise a case in point. Economists who first
foresaw the dangers buffeted a surging. hos
tile sea Of public opinion by criticizing the
poplar program, but gradually as the results
have been sheen to conform so closely with the
evidence a disposition to change perceptibly
and give audience to the explanations of eco
nomists that a restored world trade is the only
sound solution. But from indications Con-
gress has heard nothing whatever about this
theory.
Texans and not landowners were dis
presssons of such as that Of the Texas Negro
worker a clearer insight into the far ramific-
atoms of the cotton control program could be
afforded, because it is undoubtedly true that
the PROSTATE Negro class has suffered more
than any other from the operations Of the con-
troll program and the Bankhead law. II e
vlctlons from cotton farms resulting from the
agricultural program had only been distribut-
ed proportionately between Negroes and whit
es, a far greater percentage off Negroes than
whites would still have been evicted. for the
percentage of Negro farmers to the total Me-

Than the percentage of white farmers To the
