PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

Prices we're moving on a fairly
steady level in the produce markets
the first week of August. There
were a few small declines in the
vegetable list. Most of the advances
we're for the fruits and melons
Shipments of produce were 8 to 8
per cent lighter in late July and
continued at a very moderate rate
in early August, owing mainly to
seasonal decrease in melons, canta-
lOupes and peaches.
Rail movement of potatoes con-
tinued light from 400 to 500 daily
but demand is not brisk at this time
of year in competition with many
other vegetables and the retail pO-
tatO price is around SC per pound in
many markets. Western fruits and
vegetables are more prominent than
usual in the market, owing to light
production of some kinds in the East
and Middle West. Colorado, Califor-
mia and Pacific northwestern grow
ers have been favored with good de-
mand and fairly high prices on some
products.
Potatoes Fairly Steady
Eastern early potatoes were still
selling at country shipping points
at 50 per 100 pounds or a little low
er. In the city markets there was
some cutting of prices by truck
peddlers but general market range
was $1.75 to S2.35. Midwestern mar
kets reported a slightly stronger
tone on California and Idaho stock
but not much change on eastern pO-
tatOes.
Onion supplies from eastern pro-
ducing sections are becoming a
greater feature in city markets.
Quality shows some improvement
and the market holds slightly price
level reached in late July. Eastern
yellow onions in eastern markets
ranged mostly zoe to 90c per so
pounds. Some western white onions
went as high as $50. Supplies were
moderate and demand rather slow in
most markets.
The tomato market began to show
slightly stronger price trends in
late July and early August after a
time of heavy supply and extreme
price weakness. Tomatoes from Vir-
ginia, Maryland, New York and New
Jersey sold in eastern markets at
4Oe to $1.25 per box.
Steady prices prevailed for cas-
tern celery at $1.25 to 50 per two
thirds crate. Eastern carrots declin-
ed about 15c, selling in New York at
75c to 81 per bushel but western
carrots sold at steady prices. Let
tuce markets followed irregular
trends but price level was below
The late July tops. Most markets
quoted western stock at "a to $3.50
per crate. Eastern lettuce was
iown 25e in some markets but gen
sral range was still 81 to s125 per
eastern crate.
Liberal Peach Supplies
Receipts of peaches have been
leavy and track holdings larger. al

DEMOCRATS SUFFER
RHODE ISLAND SPLIT
Roosevelt Weaker Than in 80
but Can Still Lose Votes
and Stay on Top.
ny JAMES 8. HART.
BY JAMES S. HART,

opcClaA correspondent OF Inc 6Lar.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., October s.
The voting machine issue is settled.
Secretary of State Cappelli. after q
week Of controversy with other Demo-
cratic administration leaders, has
ordered them used, and Rhode Island
will cast its ballots for the first time
on voting machines on November 3.
The issue has not been conducive
to harmony in the Democratic party,
already torn with the worst factional
fights in its recent history. Party
leaders were divided on the machine
issue and only insistence of the Gov
ernor brought the Secretary Of State
into line to order their use.
Democratic caucuses this week. how
ever. proved that Thomas P. Mccoy of
Pawtucket, only serious contender for
the gubernatorial nomination against
Lieut.. Gov. Robert E. Quinn, is weak
outside his own section, the Black
stone Valley, the key section of the
State. II he carries his night against
the party organization into the elec-
tion-and there Is every indication he
will do so-he can damage the Demo-
cratic ticket greatly.
President Roosevelt is weaker here
than he was in 1892, but he carried
this small State then by more than
$4,000 and can afford to lose strength
ana still stay on top. Rhode Island
is still debatable' ground. The State
conventions will have to be held be-
fore a dependable appraisal can be
offered.
The actual campaign here will last
only about three and q half weeks.

D. c. WOMEN URGED
TO SUPPORT LANDON
Appeal by Mrs. Speel, G. o. P
Committeewoman, Cites Danger
to Democracy.

An appeal to women Of the District
to work for the election Of Gov. Lam
don as President, whether or not they
are qualified voters, was issued yes
terday by Mrs. Virginia White Speel,
Republican national committeewoman
for the District.
"The results Of this election will
decide, at least for four years. whether
the United States will continue to be
a Government Of the people, by the
people, for the people, or it will de-
eide that we are to become the SUBJ
jects Of q highly centralized Govern
ment here in Washington, controlled
by men eager to try queer new theor-
les, strange and impractical for a
democracy" said Mrs. Speel.
Mrs. Speel appealed to women to
devote their time and energy to the
Landon cause and contribute the use
of their automobiles in taking voters
to register in nearby Maryland and
Virginia. She also appealed for small
contributions toward campaign ex-
penses.

Gated at 1413 II street.

RENO, New, October. 3.-Intensive
campaigning by Republican leaders in
Nevada the latter part Of August and
first three weeks Of September appears
at an end. and now the Democrats
have begun a similar campaign.
Democrats of Reno and vicinity
held their opening rally last week
and packed the municipal auditorium.
There were some Republicans among
the audience and many Democrats
who have become members Of that
party since going on the relief or W.
p A. rolls.
Malcolm McEachin, State Demo-
cratic chairman. accompanied Sem
ator p. A. McCarran and Represen-
tative James G. Scrugham on a tour
of the State, and says there was
much enthusiasm for Roosevelt.
The Republicans continue their ef-
forts by radio from Reno. In the
meantime there is much precinct work
going on.
Representative Scrugham plans to
do individual canvassing for votes
right up to election day. He Is op-
posed by e. c. Peterson, Republican,
former State controller. Harry H.
Austin, running as an independent for
Congress, with Townsend Endorsement,
also is making an intensive campaign.
Senators Key Pittman and McCar-
ran have been aiding Scrugham. but
McCafran left this week to speak for
President Roosevelt in several large
industrial centers.
Both parties are invading the In
dian reservations for votes. Gener-
ally the inhabitants vote q solid ticket.

Senator Pat Harrison, as q favor

Nomination, Indorses
Gov. Johnson.
RY L L MULLEN.


DENVER, Colo, October 3-Demo-
cratic leaders in Colorado claimed
strong switch in sentiment toward the
Roosevelt Garner ticket this week fol-
lowing what they claimed was open
reputation by Republican State can
didates Of their stand in favor OF old
age pensions.
A second development considered
favorable to the entire Democratic
ticket was the announcement by
former Gov. William E. Sweet that he
would wholeheartedly support Gov.
Ed c. Johnson's candidacy for the
United States Senate. Sweet opposed
johnson in the primary race and
uttered many verbal lashings to john
son because, he claimed. the Governor
was not a good New Dealer"
1t took Sweet several weeks to de.
eide to come in favor of johnson after
the latter defeated him about two to
one in the primary race.
The Republican candidates for State
Offices, including Ray L. Sauter, rum

senatorship, at a secret meeting here,
decided to change the plank in the
State platform from a specific in
dorsement Of State $45-a-month old
age pension, to one indorsing "ade-
quate" old-age pensions. They as
serted the change conformed with the
national plank on social security.
Gov. johnson put his political"
campaign formally under way early in
the week with q speech at Fort COL
Inns.
Both party headquarters in Denver
seethed with activity.
Impartial observers continued to
maintain that the State was still In
the doubtful column, with perhaps
slight swing toward the Roosevelt
column in recent days. Republican
leaders forcefully challenged this,
however, declaring that Landon and
Knox continue to gain in strength.

CROWDS HEARTEN.
IOWA REPUBLICANS.
Drift Back to G. o. P. Fold
Steady-Landon Work =,
Is Effective. s.
BY C. C. CLIFTON,

Special CORRESPONDENT Of The star:
DES MONIES, Iowa, October s.
Signs of q returning Iowa Republican
majority were read in the cheering
crowds which greeted Gov. ALI M.
Landon's special train by Republican
leaders who rode 1t as he criss- crossed
the State.
About 100000 Iowans saw Landon
from the rear platform Of the Sun
flower Special or in two visits to Des
Moines in August and September.
Some Of them, of course. were chill
dren, and thousands OF others saw
him more than once.
But old-timers on the train said
the turnouts and the enthusiasm were
like the old days when Iowa went
Republican regularly.
Drift Back to G. o. p. Steady.
Iowa went Democratic in 1882 and
stayed Democratic in 1884. But the
drift back to the Republican fold has
been steady, and Landon's personal
campaigning in Iowa has been effec-
tive. In his farm speech. State Rep
resentstive D. r. McCreery, a Linn
County farmer. said Landon spoke
the language Of the farmers.
Iowa is regarded close now even by
the Democrats. who concede they will
lose some of the six out of nine Rep
resentatives they have had for four
years. The Republicans claim a gain
Of not less than three seats, but the
Democrats don't 60 that far with
them. and they still claim the State
for Roosevelt.
The President now plans, 1t is re-
ported, not to come back to Iowa for
q campaign speech. but to go to
Omaha, Nebr., for a major speech.
From the Democratic standpoint this
Is wise decision, for it gives Roose-
velt chance to speak to both Iowans
and Nebraskans without running the
risk OF not duplicating Landon's big
meeting in Des Moines.
Henry A. Wallace, Secretary Of Agri-
culture, followed up his radio reply
to Landon's agricultural speech by
coming to Iowa to make three speeches
this week. His two Republican uncles
met Landon on his bread-basket swing
and indorsed the Kansas Governor.
Landon Edge Continues.
Polls in Iowa continue to give
Landon an edge over Roosevelt. Their
trends are supported by the figure Of
the last two elections. Roosevelt sad
SO per cent Of the total presidential
vote in Iowa in 1882. In 1884 Gov.
Clyde L. Herring. the Democratic Gov
ernor. was reelected with 81 per cent
Of the vote. The current poll shows
Roosevelt has lost II per cent of his
popularity since 1882.
The two big Northwest Iowa farm
ing districts. the eighth and ninth,
probably viii determine the election.
They never liked Hoover, although he
carried them in 1928. They do like
Landon, Republican leaders in the
districts claim. and have wanted only
assurance that they would not lose
what they figured were advantages Of
the Roosevelt administration while
going back to Landon.
These districts are fond of Frank
0. Lowden Of Illinois, who Is. to speak
for Landon at Waterloo this week.
