WASHINGTON VOTE
RESULT IN DOUBT
SchWeIIenbaCh'S Approval
of Sinclair Program
Hurts Democrats.
BY JAMES DE X. BROWN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, October 27.-
Although the Democratic party at the
September primaries cast so per cent
of the total votes counted, only As per
cent Of the registered electorate took
the trouble to go to the polls, with
the result that this year even the
closest followers of the political game
are unable to estimate what the out
come will be November 6.
There is little doubt at this time
but the Democratic nominee, Lewis B.
Schwellenbach, will be elected Sen
ator over his Republican opponent,
Reno Odlin. Even this might be upset
but it Is far from likely.
Odlin is slowly closing the gap be-
tween himself and Schwellenbach, and
If the campaign should continue for
another 30 days there might be
an upset. The fact that Schwellen-
bach has adopted in its entirety the
Upton Sinclair program in California
is slowly driving conservative votes
away from his banner. However, the
Young Order of Cincinatus, a non
partisan group of young men and
women, has nominated its own candi-
date, William wilkins, and will draw
rather heavily from the younger Re
publicans and the more conservative
Democrats who, while not voting for
Schwellenbach. refuse to ballot for a
Republican.
Want Some of Apples.
The Cincinatus group is only up
setting the apple cart in order to grab
some of the apples. Their advent into
the picture has tended to ruin Odlin' S
opportunities, and incidentally will
have the effect Of ultimately antag-
onizing the older parties against the
candidates Of the order. In years to
come.
Every indication points to the elec-
ton of Schwellenbach. In the con-
gressionai fights, DR.. John w. Sum-
mers, former member from the fourth
congressional district, is to date the
only Republican in the six districts
with any possibility of being elected
Summers will defeat Representative
Knute Hill, the Democratic incum-
bent, unless there is an unlocked for
straight voting movement.
In all other districts the Demo-
cratic incumbents have a strong edge
and may hold this to the end.

NEW DEAL ISSUE
IN WYOMING VOTE
Only Congress Candidates
of G. O. P. Attempt to
Fight 1t, However.
BY r. E. EVANS.

Special Dispatch 20 The Star.
CASPER, Wyo., October 27.-The
New Deal is the big issue as the
Wyoming general election campaign
advances toward its November climax,
but some exceptions must be noted.
While Democratic candidates from
constable to Senator are riding it for
victory or fall, and Republican
congressional candidates are assailing
those phases which they condemn as
inimical to State welfare, G. o. P as
pirantS to other Offices are content to
emphasize State and local issues. AS
they come down the stretch, re-
alignment Of votes must also be ad-
mitted in contests for major honors.
O'Mahoney Has Advantage.
This development is true particu-
larly Of the race between Senator
J. C. O'Mahoney, running to succeed
himself while serving by appointment,
and Representative Vincent Carter,
Republican, who seeks the Senate toga
after three terms in the House. Aside
from normal Democratic support,
O'Mahoney enjoys an advantage in
the backing Of administration and re-
lief forces, powerful labor interests,
and the influence exerted by the
Casper-Alcova power project in Ma
trona County, the States most popu-
lous subdivision. Casper Is being
swayed by a personal interest in the
New Deal to the extent that some
Republicans are responding to the
Democratic urge that Natrona County
should have an administration friend
at court while the project is building
Carter, who carried Natrona County
in surviving the Democratic land
slide Of 1882, may In turn depend upon
heavy veterans vote along with
those of friends of the protective tariff
and foes Of the New Deal. He has
also demonstrated an ability in the
past to cut into the Democratic vote.
A factor now working to O'Mahoney's
advantage among certain elements
was the quieting of a threat that a
$1,000 Federal excise tax would be
slapped onto liquor dealers by the
Revenue Department.
Revenue Agents Give Warming.
Revenue agents served notice on
dispensers that they were subject to
such tax in dry territory, and
O'Mahoney is being credited in these
circles with having determined that
no imposition would be made in con-
sideration Of Wyoming's prospective
repeal of her State prohibition
amendment at the coming election.
The State has twice voted wet on
late referendums.
To the Democratic cry that OMa-
honey stands with Roosevelt" the
Republicans counter with Garter
stands with Wyoming"
The gubernatorial contest between
Gov. L. A. Miller, Democrat, running
for reelection, and Secretary of State
A. M. Clark, a former acting Governor,
has resolved itself into battle over
State issues.

LEGION W|DENS
BONUS PLEA

A brand new slant on the Ameri-
can Legion demand for immediate
cash payment of the bonus came
to light at the White House today
after Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines.
Veterans Administrator, reported
to President Roosevelt, following
his visit to the American Legion
Convention in Miami.
General Hines said there is a
great probability that the Amer
ican Legion executive committee,
which frames the Legion's legis-
lative program, would ask that the
Federal Government, when it pays
the soldier bonus in 1945 to give
to those veterans who have already
borrowed up to so per cent of
their bonus the interest which has
accrued on the loan. Many veC-
Grams, said General Hines, have
borrowed money but are not pay
ing the interest. He said that if
a soldier holds a $1,000 bonus GER
tificate and borrows $500 and fails
to pay the interest all he will get
in 1945 is $173.
It was hinted by General Hines
that this interest treatment may
be substitute for the immediate
cash payment of the bonus in the
next Congress. General Hines
would not indicate what the Ad'
ministration's attitude might be
toward this proposal.

"DepresSiOn's End"
President Roosevelt is by no
means hard-boiled about these
restorations. He wants them,
But he also wants to keep within
the law and to act with regard
to the facts on cost of living as
reported to him by Government
experts.
He is reported as eager to find
some method of restoring pay so
that in actual practice Govern
ment pay will keep ahead of liv.
ing costs rather than lag behind
The pay restoration order yes

that ''the depression has ended
This was voiced at the White
House today, but it got not a
peep out of any Of the Presi

One Of them said:

by teIegrams, letters and indi-

dent to say that the depression

SUIT HERE
Attorney Asks Injunction to
Halt Procurement of
Mexican DEGREES

Suit for an injunction to re-
strain Hubert j. Burrows Of the
Garry Building from engaging in
the practice Of law in the District,
and particularly from obtaining
alleged fraudulent Mexican d.
vorces for local residents, was filed
today in District Supreme Court
by Jean M. Boardman, attorney
with offices in the Southern
Building.
Wins Many Clients
Mr.. Boardman charges the de-
fendant is not a member Of the
local bar although he has en-
gagged in the law practice here for
the last three years. Through ad-
vertisements, pamphlets and let
ters, the suit relates, Mr.. Burrows
has induced many persons to en-.
gage his services for the procure
ment of Mexican divorces.
Ine court was informed JhaC
Burrows advises persons they can
obtain the Mexican divorces with
out becoming residents Of Mexico,
but merely by submitting them
selves to the jurisdiction of said
courts either in writing or through
an attorney and mutually con-
senting to be divorced"
Claim Divorces Void
The defendant, it is charged,
operates in the District under the
title of "Compania De Los Nego-
clos Mexicanos, S. A." The suit
claims that the Mexican divorces
are void, that remarriages con-
tracted after such divorces are
bigamous, and that children born
under such remarriages are lille
gitimate.
