Returns from the primary came in
slowly due to the tedious task OF
counting long ballots bearing the
names of hundreds of candidates for
congressional, county, township and
city Offices.
Returns were sufficiently complete,
however, to show denomination of the

Mrs. Jenckes in November will be
opposed by Fred S. Purnell, Repub-

score of years in the House before he
was defeated by Mrs. Jenckes in the
1882 election.
What few votes had been counted
in the contests for Representative

Prosecutor Robert C. Estill, who
sought denomination on the Demo-

Carol Holley, nephew of the woman
sheriff from whose Jail Dillinger es-
capped, also was behind in his contest
for the Democratic nomination for

One private Wall Street excuse is
that stock prices were further out OF

were in 1929. Some figures can be
advanced to prove this. That ex-

that President Roosevelt will be forced

that it will be based on silver action.
Those nearest the White House say
emphatically that Mr.. Roosevelt would

They have long known that what he
is seeking is silver compromise which
will stop far short of any real infla-

Stop Gap for G. o. P.
The saner Republicans here lean
toward the idea of making Ralph Will
liams a stop-gap chairman of the
National Committee until after the
congressional election.
They are wise enough to see that
they are now too far IN advance of
the next presidential election to know
what kind Of chairman they want
They probably will prevail at the

Representative Byrns of Tennessee,
chairman Of the Democratic National
Congressional Committee, today saw
in partial Indiana election returns a
clear indication that the President
isn't weakening yet"
Explaining that he knew all races
had not been settled conclusively, he
added at his press conference:
Il think Indiana Democratic men,
bers OF the House. all of whom appear
to have been renominated. had fine
record of standing behind the Presi-
dent.
C. o. P. Won't Gain Is Seats.
II also think that is going to be the
general situation all over the country.
The Republicans are not going to
gain IS seats in the House, and we are
going to elect some Democrats in the
place of Republicans.
so far we have lost only two sit
ting Democrats in the primaries, Mes

rather than national questions, un-

yet"

Speaker Rainey, at his press con-
ference, interpreted the election as a

many Republicans are joining the
Democratic party.
There is nothing surprising in the
Indiana returns. A different result
would have been surprising.
Il don't think the Republicans will
succeed in gaining any House seats
this year.

BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
A move to put the stock exchanges
under the Federal Trade Commission
gained headway in the Senate today
despite word from President Roosevelt
that he would not object to the Gre
alton of a separate commission.
Administration leaders conceded
that the amendment offered by Sen
ator Costigan, Democrat, Colorado, to
restore the Trade Commission as the
regulatory body had more chance of
adoption tnan any other Of the two
score proposed alterations.
Even this amendment, designed to
strengthen rather than weaken the
regulatory measure, was held likely
to meet defeat.
The Presidents Senate advisers were
not greatly concerned, however,
whether the Senate finally decided to
vest authority in the Trade Com
mission or a separate body, as pro-
posed by Senator Glass, Democrat,
Virginia, and approved by the Bank
ing Committee.
Roosevelt Not Opposed.
President Roosevelt originally IA
vored the Trade Commission plan, they
said, but had recently informed them
he had no objection to the separate
commission if he was not restricted
in selecting Its members.
As for the possibility of weakening
amendments being adopted, admins
tration leaders expressed absolute
confidence of their strength. They
pointed to the two test votes yester-
day as evidence that they have more
than SUFFICIENT votes to retain the
bills teeth"

Led by Steiwer Of Oregon and VOL
colt of Connecticut. they asserted that
the provisions in question would i'm
pede recovery by frightening business
into inactivity and place the proposed
securities commission in position to
regulate the internal management OF
American business.
Friends of the bill on the Demo-
cratic side came quickly to its de-
fense with assertions that Stock Ex-
change officials themselves had said
such reports should be made, and one
ma aiority member, Barkley of Ken

Hitz's company directs several large

People have more money to spend
than they have had at any time
throughout the long years of the de-

THE repeal of prohibition has made
it unnecessary for Americans to flock
