TALMADCE MAY
Be HEADED OFF
Governor Expected to Try
To Pick r. DIS Enemies
AS Party Delegation

ATLANTA. Nov. 10. President
Roosevelt's supporters in Georgia
have launched a movement to hold
a presidential preference primary in
defiance Of the state democratic
committee. If the latter dominated
by Governor Eugene Talmadge, de-
cides to pick the delegation itself.
The committee has power either
to provide a primary or name dele
gates to the national convention and
Rcosevelt's friends foresee the pos
Sibility that Governor Talmadge,
critical Of the president, may seek
to have the committee name a dele
cation pledged to support him rath-
er than hold a primary. In recent
presidential campaigns a primary
has been held in Georgia.
Newt Morris Of Marietta, a mem
Der of the committee, said Tuesday
there are indications 'the governor
may endeavor to have the state COM
mittee elect delegates to the nation
al convention without a primary"
Il have called together the friends
Of Mr.. Roosevelt on the committee
to discuss the situation" he said,
and to try to agree on plans to
act in unison when the state COM
mittee is called into session and as
sure a primary, II possible at the
time.
But. If we are out-voted by a Tai
madge majority-which he may not
have-and the committee names the
delegates without a primary, I want
Mr.. Rcosevelt's friends to call an
ether democratic committee and set
up machinery for the primary. 80
we r willing to carry u fight
to the floor Of the democratic ma
tional convention, If necessary. to
see that Governor Talmadge does
not emharraSs Mr.. Roosevelt there"
Morris called the meeting in At
lanta the morning Of Nov. 20. That
afternoon President Roosevelt is to
address a great gathering Of Geor-
gians on the occasion Of his home

BORAH ALLIES
Plan TO PUT
HIN. IN RACE
Fight Between Veteran
Senator and Hoover
Over Party Control
10 Expected

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. Word
reached the capital Tuesday that
friends Of Senator Borah will enter
DIS name IN a number of next years
presidential primaries unless they get
q positive mo" from the Idaho re-
publican.
Coming from reliable political
sources, this word served to en-
phaStze the possibility of a specta-
cular duel between Borah and for
mer President Hoover, either over
the republican nomination or the
course the party snail take.
Borah and Hoover
Whether Borah and Hoover be-
come avowed candidates for the
nomination, this and other recent
Developments have indicated that
they r rapidly moving into the
leadership Of two opposing factions
within the party.
Both are avoiding discussion of
candidates. and talking only Of is
sues. but the issues they present are
IN sharp contrast. Borah has mini
mized the spending issue, which
Hoover has stressed, and advanced
instead, the question Of monopoly.
Furthermore, the Idaho senator has
pointedly demanded reorganization
OF party leadership.
While Borah has refused to COM
NIT himself on his 1886 plans, the ac-
tivfty Of his friends out in the states
virtually assures that the Idahoan's
name and views will 60 before the
primary voters and If he wins-the
national convention.
When Borah arrived here last week
his reply TO inquiries as to whether
he would enter the primaries was:
Il can't say I won't" According to
word reaching here, unless he elm
mates himself more positively than
that, his name will be entered.
Hoover Organizing?
Most Of the primary states do not
require the consent Of q candidate
for his name to be entered in the
preferential primaries. His friends
car do 1t for him. Ohio Is q notable
exception TO this rule.
There have been no indications
yet whether Bcrah, if his name
should be entered, would have any
opposition. The Borah entry might
force opponents into the races also,
particularly If he should III in the
home states of other candidates.
Hoover has declined TO comment
on his plans, and his friends have
insisted he was interested only in
issues. But Borah has said that
Hooever's friends are organizing, and
there have been reports that the for
mer president has been strongly urg-
ed to run by those corresponding
with him.

the sun will be at its farthest north

Because the sun is above the hori-

WASHINGTON. June 20.-Gen.
Smedley D. Butler (Old Gimlet
Eye, retired Marine commander,
told a Congressional subcommittee
yesterday afternoon that he would
go farther than Rep. Louis Ludlow
in amending the Constitution to
provide for a referendum on war.
Il would confine the voting to
those able bodied men who would
have to go and fight on foreign
shores" Gen. Butler declared, and
1 would let each man select one
woman to vote with him. 1t could
be his wife, mother or sweetheart.
In my opinion that would end
this foreign war racket so far as
the United States is concerned"
Badgered by questions as to what
if Americans we're mistreated or
killed in a war zone, Gen. Butler
answered:
Let Americans stay out of the
war zones. War Is a peStilence and
the place where it is going on
should be considered quarantined.
In addition, We shouldn't permit
our people to have anything to do
with nations engaged in war. They
81 ould neither buy nor sell. 1t was
that thing that got us into that last
Wall Street World War and it has
cost our people plenty"
Announcing his opposition to any
war, except to repel invasion, which
would be exempt from the plebiscite
under the Ludlow resolution, Gen.
Butler said that he had spent
lifetime fighting Americas ''unde-
clared wars" throughout the world.
Il fought undeclared wars for this
