United States Senator Jesse H. Met

Senate, having decided to be a candi-
date again this year on the Republic
can ticket, is certain of denomination
He die not want to run. He wanted
to retire to private life. but the desire
to continue as one of the most ardent
opponents of the New Deal and the
appeals of the party were too much.
His Democratic opponent will be
Gov. Theodore F. Green, and If popu-
larity has anything to do with the
election Senator Metcaf will serve a
third term.
But the gubernatorial situation re-
mains confused. On the Republican
side there are five candidates for the

former State Senator William H. Van

nomination for Governor.
Representative John M. O'Connell,
Democrat, of the second district, will
be a candidate to succeed himself, and
Representative Charles F. Risk. Re

WILMINGTON, Del, August 90
Democrats in Delaware now have the
best chance of swinging the State
into the Democratic column in many
years.
This windfall for the Democrats
came when the followers Of former
State Senator I. D. Short Of Milford
walked out of the Republican State
Convention in Dover Wednesday when
the delegates refused to nominate
Short for Governor to succeed c. D.
Buck. Following the bolt 1t was de-
cided to hold a convention September
8 to name a State ticket under the
name of Independent Republican. In
the meantime delegates will be named
in all three counties.
The bolt followed a sectional po-
litical fight of several years standing.
When Gov. Buck was nominated four
years ago Short was on the point OF
boiling, asserting that at the previous
convention he was promised the nomi-
nation. He declared the promise was
not kept, but went along with the
party. This time he says he was

when the leaders of the party made
up the slate he was left of and Col.
Harry L. Cannon was selected as
nominee for chief executive Of the
State.
There were frequent warnings from
the Short men In Sussex County, but
their protests were not needed, the
organization proceeding with the pre-
arranged plan to ignore Shorts claim.
Republican politicians are worried
over the solution as Short has a
strong following and is expected to
draw support from voters opposed to
the organization It Is admitted that
he could not poll enough votes to be
elected, but could defeat the Repub-
lican ticket.
There is also spirited fight going
on in the Democratic party. The
convention will be held in Dover next
Tuesday. At present it appears as if

the Farmer-Labor- Progressive FEEDER
alton of Wisconsin and the Farmer
Labor party of Minnesota, who spent
nine hours in hotel room conference
with Gov. Philip F. La Toilette dis
cussing plans for a new third party
in 1910, had returned to their homes
this week, taking with them a three
point program for present and future
action.
The three points agreed upon at
the conference, which was held be-
hind closed doors but later revealed
by those in attendance. were:
1. A joint legislative program par
ticipated in by both Minnesota and
Wisconsin embodying the principles
of Gov. La Follette's works program
to give the two "third-party States"
an opportunity to show what they can
do toward solving economic problems.
Support For Roosevelt.
2. Indirect support Of President
Roosevelt in the 1886 campaign and
a refusal to support the Union party
of Representative William Lemke OF
North Dakota. and Father Charles E.
Coughlin, Detroit radio priest.
3. A drive Immediately following
the November elections to precipitate
third party sentiment in other States
through Farmer-Labor federations.
Besides Gov. La Toilette, among the
well-known political figures at the
conference were United States Ser
ator Elmer D. Benson of Minnesota,
former Lieut.. Gov. Hjalmar Peterson
of Minnesota, who has become Gov
ernor of that State since the death
of Gov. Floyd B. Olson; Howard Y.

Federation of Labor; Harry Jack Of
the Wisconsin Cooperative Milk Pool

Roosevelt Visit Awaited.
The expected arrival of President
Roosevelt in Wisconsin is causing
much speculation, with State Demo-
Gratis stressing that the Presidents
visit with Gov. La Toilette will have
no political significance. The Gov
ernor will board the Presidents train
at st. Paul and accompany him across
the upper Mississippi River to Hud-
son, Wis, where the party will BEGIN
motor trip through the drought-hi
areas of Wisconsin, notably near
Menonomie. The President is ex-
pected to enter Wisconsin Monday.
The primary is to be held Tuesday,
September IS. In the Progressive
party Gov. La Toilette Is unopposed,
and has indicated he will postpone
making an active campaign until
after that date.

GOV. DAVEY SEEKS
SPOTLIGHT IN OHIO
Draws Alternate Applause
and Boos at Rally of
ToWnSendites.
BY L. r. CONNOR,
Special Correspondent of The Star

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 29-
Naturally. Gov. Dayey made no such
spectacular attempt to bask in the spot
light with Gov. Landon on the latter's
trip through Ohio as he did when he
leaped upon President Roosevelt's car
at Cleveland to grasp his hand as the
photographers took the Presidents pic
ture. But he did make two attempts to
share the public gaze on other occa-
sions of interest in Ohio this week.
He made welcoming address to the
Townsend rally, in Columbus, when
that group made formal Endorsement
of William Lemke for President, and
drew first the applause and then the
boos of the crowd. 1t had long been
expected that the Governor would
make some attempt to gain support of
the Townsend Coughlin-Lemke fol-
lowers, and he began quite well by tell
ing them he believed in their sincerity
of purpose.
Then he slipped. He mentioned that
he had ordered an increase of $40 a
month in Ohio old-age pensions. That
remark brought down a roar of boos
The Townsend followers, with their
goal of 5000 month for every one
over so and the establishment of
huge revolving pension fund, have little
or no sympathy with the conventional
kind of old-age pensions And nothing
the Governor could say in explanation
for the niggardliness of his action salts
fled his listeners. They, apparently
cared not whit for the fact that Ohio
had no more money, or that its laws
were inadequate to allow the operation
of the Townsend plan.
The Governors foot slipped again
when he tried to use the Homecoming
of Jesse Owens, Ohio States great
Negro Olympic star, as the occasion
for a joint demonstration for both
Owens and himself. He sent his right
hand man, Francis w. Poulson. State
Democratic chief, to New York to meet
the Queen Mary and escort Owens back
to Ohio. But other plans had been
made, and Mr. Poulson's plans fell
through, with an accompanying scene
and chorus of criticism that left the
Governors face red.

SEATTLE, Wash. August 29.-Re-
publican hopes are mounting high as
a result of the recent visit to the State
of John D. M. Hamilton, national
chairman.
Mr.. Hamilton found this State
"wobbling" and a concerted drive
under militant leadership might swing
it out of the Democratic column into
the Republican ranks, if the Lemke
third party movement will cut into the
present Democratic majority as deeply
as is now expected. Republican chiefs
feel lack of organized leadership.
Democratic chieftains are confident
that not even the steadily growing
Lemke party can upset the Roosevelt
majority in the State. Recent straw
votes, however, show decline in the
Roosevelt support. gain for Lemke
and slight increase for the Landon-

THE INUNDATED TEETH

TN SALT LAKE CITY, baseball
l. bugs still refer to Joe Jenkins,
their old catcher, as the man who
always wore a mask, not because
Joe used mask when catching, but
the contraption he wore other times
was a little net slung under his
chin. 1t acted as catcher, too
whenever Joe's lower plate of 16
shiny, false teeth, worked loose.
Without dreaming of being insult
ing, Joe laid the plate aside in a
restaurant one night and went right
on eating. 1t happened the teeth
were on edge; they were so hui
inflated by his act they rolled to
the floor and hid there.
Next day, filled with remorse, the
teeth began to hunt Joe. 1t was a
long search, filed with heart breaks.
Once the teeth almost caught up
with Joe while he was gulping milk
toast, missing by swapping distance
only.
One afternoon, Salt Lake opposed
the Portland Beavers. The Utah
team was three runs behind, ninth
inning, two out and the bases filled.
Joe'd been in an awful slump and
was benched.
At this moment, fortunately for
Salt Lake, something resembling a
wide smile crawled up the players
bench and bit Jenkins where he
carried his eating tobacco. Whoop-
ing wildly, Joe leaped seven feet in
the air. With his right hand he
snapped the prodigal lower plate
into his mouth; with the left he
reached down for his bat. Joe
slammed home run over the left
field fence, winning the game for
Salt Lake by score of 6 to S.

ESCAPE IN SIBERIA

CIR HORACE PLUNKETT of Eng
- land, or "Hod" Plunkett as the
cowboys in western Nebraska and
eastern Wyoming in the early days
knew him, had some thrilling ad-
ventures on the American frontier,
but his narroWest escape from
death was in Siberia.
One day his horse went lame
near Russian village. Being in a
hurry to reach st. Petersburg, he
left his horse there and hired an
other one, hitched to a sleigh. In
the midst of a dark, dismal forest,
he heard a howl and saw a huge
timber wolf pursuing him.
Sir Horace lashed his horse into
mad gallop, but the wolf gained
on him at every jump. Just as
the fierce beast sprang at him, Sir
Horace dropped down into the bot
tom of the sleigh. The wolf shot
clear over him and lighted on the
horses hindquarters.
The terrified horse kept on run
ming even after it was half eaten
up. Then Sir Horace sprang up.
His whip gave the wolf terrific
cut. With a howl the beast sprang
forward just as the horse died and
fell out of the harness which
dropped on the wolf.
Sir Horace then grabbed up the
reins. By lashing at the wolf con-
stantly with his whip he kept it 60
ing forward at a terrific pace. A
few moments later it raced into a
town and came to a plunging halt
in front of an inn. Out dashed a
group of Russians who killed the
wolf and, as Sir Horace stepped out
of the sleigh. pressed forward to
congratulate him upon his escape.
