The Governors ousting Of Warden
P. E. Thomas of Ohio Penitentiary
in the dead of Winters night at
the point of National Guard bayonets
marked him as too much of marti-
net for most people in Ohio who had
no interest in the political quarrel
between the Governor and the warden.
The Governors attack on Ohio State
University and his veto of appropria-
tions for heating and sanitary pur-
poses at the school aroused an active
campaign against him among alumni
associations within the State.
The recent resignation Of an Ohio
Relief Commission statistician, who
gave up his post because, he said. he
couldn't stand any longer to be asso-
ciated with supposed relief organi-
zation that was spending most of its

throughout the State.

State. The Governor may not be re-
elected, but there are many political
observers who are pretty close
mouthed and who are inclined to be-
lieve that Attorney General Bricker's
campaign Is suffering from over
confidence.
Mr.. Bricker will begin his campaign
for Governor ofhcially Thursday at q
rally in Mount Sterling, and every
effort is being made by the Repub-
lican strategistS to make 1t one Of
the most impressive and picturesque
campaign openings witnessed in Ohio.
A factor which must not be lost
sight of in the coming election Is the
influence of the Lemke Union party.
Although 1t failed to qualify as a sep
arate political party and so be entitled
to a place on the ballot under its
own emblem, Mr.. Lemke and his run
ming mate, Thomas c. O'Brien of
Boston, have qualified as Independent
candidates for President and Vice
President.
Their support will come mostly from
dissatisfied New Deal voters who be-
lieve Roosevelt hasn't gone far enough
to the left and who, of course, could
not support a conservative like Gov.
Landon. The Republican party stands
to gain in strength. therefore, in direct
proportion to the strength Of the
Union Party.

~OLUMBUS, Ohio, September S.
In Ohio the outcome of the
national election will depend
pretty much upon the out
come of the State contest. The
final determination of whether Gov.
Davey has attracted or repelled voters
will have large bearing on whether
he has helped or hurt the New Deal.
President Roosevelt in 1892 had a
$4,000 plurality over President Hoover
in Ohio. 1t would, therefore, require
but a little shift in the vote to lose
Ohio for the New Deal this year.
Whether Gov. Davey has driven away
more voters from the Democratic
party than he has attracted remains
to be seen.
However, these facts stand out:
The national Democratic campaign
in Ohio will be conducted separately
from the State campaign.
For the first time since the Civil
War the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a
stanch Democratic newspaper, has
Endorsed the Republican candidate for
Governor. However, it remains loyal
to Mr.. Roosevelt.

BARB0UR'S RIVAL
GOOD CAMPA|GNER
New Jersey Candidate for
Senate Seat Popular With
C0Iored Voters.
BY EDWARD M. GILROY,
aperi.I rorr.snondant of The Star


TRENTON, N. j.. September s.
United States Senator w. Warren Bar
bour, Republican, seeking reelection,
today finds his campaign almost the
exact opposite Of 1882, when he won
q four-year unexpired term by 10000.
The Democratic opponent Of Bar
bour is William H. Smathers, State
Senator from Atlantic County. Smath-
ers, former North Carolinian, Is an
aggressive campaigner, fluent talker
and has q definite following in the
southern tier of counties, which nor
mally are Republican.
Compared to Stewart, the new op-
ponent Of Barbour is much more to
be feared. In addition to his support
in south Jersey. Smathers is popular
with Negro voters, large portion OF
the electorate in some sections OF the
State.
Smathers was the first Democrat
elected from rock-ribbed Republican
Atlantic County in so years, and the
Negro vote admittedly put him over.
Stewart was wealthy and was ex-
pected to make generous contributions
toward local political organizations
Instead, he remained 81 900 under the
legal $4,000 expenditure for his cam
paign, causing last-minute desertions
Of organization leaders. Smathers is
not wealthy and has no such problem.
A heavy vote in Hudson Is assured
Smathers through the Democratic ma
chine Of Mayor Frank Hague, State
boss. Thus, If Smathers can poll a
respectable vote in ordinarily Republic
can south Jersey counties. he would
be very much in the running
While all these circumstances favor
Smathers, he has the anti-New Deal
sentiment to offset it.
The Senate race appears to be close,
possibly closer than will be the presi-
dental vote in New Jersey. Republi-
cans are going out of their way to at
tract the Negro vote to a greater ex-
tent than in many years.
The Democrats have not started
their State campaigning, but are await
ing until the voters return home after

publicans. under direction Of Walter
E. Edge, former Ambassador to France.
are lining up their organization and

When Worlds Without Fuel

tries would be able to process low
grade ores and other raw materials
which at present are neglected because
Of the great energy expense involved.
The reduction Of aluminium from
common clay. for example, would
make that metal one of the cheapest
materials on earth.
Effect Of Change.
And 50 with many things which are
rare today because they are hard to
get at; the cheapening Of energy,
through the unlocking Of the atom,
would Immediately result in . CORE
spending cheapening Of materials.
Critics may object that man is .
long way from unlocking the atom.
Some very eminent physicists have
said that atomic energy is a dream,
never to be attained on a CONNER
cially advantageous scale. But, as
George r. Harrison has said in this
same connection: Never is dam
gerous word to use. Merely because
man is an authority on the universe
is no reason why he should speak with
authority on eternity"
Within the last two years advances
have been made which give hint Of
possibilities ahead. BY the lombard
ment of common materials, like table
salt and sulphur and silver and half
hundred other elements, these ordi-
narily stable substances have been
rendered radioactive like radium, with
the energy given OF by the hit atoms
has been greater than the energy of
the bombarding particles. And with
the use of the recently discovered
neutrons as the bombarding agents
the percentage of hits and of atomic
| transmutations has been increased.
Eventual Success Seen.
It is true that we nave not yet
reached the point where, as DR.. Harri-
son phrases it, 1.-The product will have
nearly as much importance as the
process" but it Is significant that we
are learning the process, and it does
not seem q gullability to believe that
scientific research and engineering
skill eventually will find a way to turn
the process to useful work.
The attainment of atomic energy
would give at one swift stride such an
enormous cheapening Of power that
other sources of energy would perhaps
be too expensive to cultivate. But
until atomic energy is y commercially
advantageous reality, we shall find
our engineers increasingly advancing
in their technique Of gravitational,
chemical, electrical, thermal and other
available means Of storing and utiliz-
ing energy.
Already, in California and in Italy,
steam plants have been operated by
the heat of the earth tapped through
volcanic vents where the hot rocks
are within easy access. Small tide mills
have been installed here and there In
seacoast places; some years ago a
water front merchant in Boston used a
tide mill to grind spices. Wind mills
are familiar and important machines
in the economy Of Holland. A solar
power plant was recently erected in
Russia as part Of the Soviet develop
ment program.
And so we may expect the various
proposals for tomorrows power to be
tried out here and there. in small ways
at first and in places where conditions
are favorable to q particular energy
source, eventually to be perfected and
extended in large-scale undertakings.

the gap by October 10, or persuade
. substantial portion Of the electorate
to vote differently than they regis
tered. the prospect in Kentucky must
be regarded as bleak The best chance
Is concentration on enrolment of
additional voters. The State law that
requires q voter to support the nom
inee Of his party in order to take
part in the next primary operates as
q deterrent to any substantial turn
over Of registration allegiance.
Financial Record Remarkable.
The political lull has awakened
Kentuckians to the realization of
remarkable financial record in process
Of achievement by the new State ad-
ministration, namely, reduction Of the
floating State debt at the rate of
about a million dollars a month.
When the Chandler administration
took office outgo was exceeding in
come, general fund warrants stood at
$21 $3.50, 900 and road warrants at So
100000. The road debt has been
wiped out entirely and the general
debt cut almost s5,O0o,OOo.
Because Of abolition of all State
real estate taxes and the 3 per cent
sales tax, depriving the State Of about
$4,000, 900 a year, the new State gov
eminent had to whip into shape a new
revenue program. New tax laws were
quickly passed, producing for the first
two months Of the fiscal year BEGIN
ming July ! almost as much revenue
as the entire quarter last year. Gov.
Chandler also effected substantial saw
ings from the start by looping $500
names from various State pay rolls
but this state of affairs was not ex-
pected to be permanent. The Leeis-
lature revised the whole State set-up
and as new departments begin to
function more workers will be needed
There may be a moral for tax legis-
lators in the fact that the revenue
measures productive Of the greatest
yield evoked no public objection; all
OF the clamor has been against minor
taxes, commonly called nuisance taxes.

The bidding:
North. East. South. West.
4 Pass INT Pass
3NT Pass Pass Pass
Mr.. wetzlar might well have passed
the opening bid of one spade, but
he did not like to give away the
weakness of his hand to vulnerable
opponents. Norths jump to three
no-trump was, of course. unsound:
he should have bid two only, thereby
giving Mr.. Wetzlar some leeway. The
jack Of spades was opened and, upon
looking at dummy, Mr.. Wetzlar
realized that, while he could run
eight tricks Immediately, his only
chance of making his contract lay in
setting up the fourth heart in his
own hand. Accordingly, he won the
queen Of spades in dummy and led
q low heart away from the ace. West
won with the 10-spot and led the 10
Of spades. Mr.. Wetzlar won with the
king in dummy and led another low
heart, West winning with the queen.
Still blissfully unaware of what was
going to happen to him, West de-
cided to keep on with the process of
clearing his spades and. accordingly,
led the 9. Mr.. Wetzlar won with
dummy's ace, and now, since the
hearts broke 3-3, he had established
the ninth trick and made his con-
tract
While the two hands just given
are of far different types, the reader
should note one similarity in the
play of both dummies. In each in
stance the declarer operated on the
idea that he was going to make his
contract II possible. In each case
it would have been rather simple to
play for down one. But going down
one did not interest either Mr.. Haddad
or Mr.. Wetzlar. II they failed to
make their contract few extra points
loss meant nothing to them.
While on the subject, we are re-
minded Of hand played by q certain
master player several years ago. He
opened the bidding with a minimum
hand, and, subsequently. endeavored
to sign of, but his partner proceeded
to trap him thoroughly, with the re-
suit that the final contract was seven
no-trump, for which there was no
play. In fact, there was no way to
avoid going down three tricks. How
ever, this particular player was so
annoyed at his partners bidding that
he simply slapped down one card after
another, paid no attention to the fact
that his opponents had been clearing
a long suit, and finally went down
eight tricks.
This is probably somewhat Of a
record, but we have seen many hands
which the declarer played so carelessly
as to go down from one to three tricks
more than necessary. We see no rea-
son why any one should punish him
self and his partner this way. In
playing money bridge the loss is re-
flected in ones pocketbook, and in
playing duplicate, no matter how hor-
rible the contract, it is always pos
sible that some one else has been
foolish enough to get to the same spot,
and that by playing the hand care
fully and holding your loss to the
minimum, you may save a match point
or two.

DAKOTA FARMERS
BACK ROOSEVELT
Landon Would Provide Less
Relief Than Now, They
Believe.
BY KENNETH w. SIMMONS.

6peclaI Correspondent OF The Star.
BISMARCK, N. OAK, September 5.
Most Of North Dakota's farmers,
particularly in the drought area, are
enthusiastic for Roosevelt. It Is all on
"quid pro quo" basis. They doubt
that they would get as much help
from Landon as they are getting from
Roosevelt, although they are not
satisfied with the relief they are now
getting.
Not all of North Dakota Is devas-
tated by drought. In the Red River
valley, on the eastern border, there
are some crops and farmers there
will have the biggest income in the
last six years because of high prices.
They have forage for their cattle and
some grain, potatoes and other prod
uce.
Imports Denounced.
An apparent majority of these, ac-
cording to reports, are likely to vote
for Landon. They are dissatisfied with
Government spending and with the
Canadian treaty without which, they
feel, prices would be still higher. Re-
publican propaganda in that area is
bearing down on agricultural imports
under the New Deal and it is hav-
ing effect.
Roosevelt was preceded into Bis
marck by Earl Browder, Communist
presidential candidate, but he at.
tracted little notice.
The result was discouraging to Com
munists, of whom there is sprink-
ling in the State.
No one is predicting Lemke's total
vote in North Dakota but there is
little likelihood he will cut enough
ice to affect the disposition of this
States electoral vote. Most guesses
put his vote for President at between
$4,000 and $4,000
Recognition of the fact that he
faces fight for reelection to Con-
gress was given by Lemke when he
sent his secretary to Fargo to open an
office for assistance OF drought suf-
ferers. Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis are making capital of the COM
mon distress, the latter by giving re-
lief. the former by badgering the
Democrats for not giving out enough
or not distributing enough in the
right places.
The Republicans are having little
luck, however.
Crowds Hailed Roosevelt.
Evidence multiplies that Republic
ans seeking State Office will give little
help to the Landon campaign. Roose-
velt's visit to North Dakota and the
temper of the crowds which greeted
him frightened them more than .
little.
The State situation continues In a
muddle.
Present indications are there will be
six candidates for Governor, the Re-
publican, the Democrat and four
Independents.

LOUISVILLE. KY, September s.
Two months before the presidential
election finds Kentucky enjoying q
political breathing speel Democrats
are reorganizing into q happy family
while Republicans. whose primary
was only q ratification ceremony. are
building desperately against forbid
ding odds.
Senator M. M. Logan, who seems
headed for a second term at WASH
ington, has been conferring with his
senior, Senator Alben w. Barkley,
representatives and other friends over
the organization OF his headquarters
staff. He has chosen James ]. Green
leaf, Richmond, as campaign chair
man and James Garnett. jr., Louis
vile, chairman of the speakers bu-
reau.
The Republican staff that will seek
to elect Robert H. Lucas to the Senate
is about complete. Paul M. Basham,
Hardinsburg, who was chosen CAM
paign chairman, announced appoint
ment of Mrs. Lillian G. Hall, Eddy
vile, woman's chairman; Col. e. T.
Franks, Owensboro. speakers chair
man, and Thomas S. Yates, Grayson,
organization and registration.
Other Important Selections.
Others chosen for important posts
are Horace M. Barker, Louisville,
chairman Of the Young Republican
Clubs; National Committeeman John
M. Perkins, Frankfort, finance chair
man; Judge John p. Haswell. Louis
vile, treasurer, and DR.. T. T. Wendell,
Lexington, colored division.
A new law requires all Kentucky
voters to register before they are
eligible to vote. Voters who failed to
register in the August primary have
until october 10 to enroll.
The task facing Republican leader
ship is especially severe, since the
party came out Of the primary with
100000 fewer registrants than the
Democrats. Lacking o party fight,
there was nothing to attract the Re
publicans to the polls for first regis
tration. On the other hand, the Demo-
Gratis, involved in q three-cornered
contest for nomination, came out in

Eye Turned Into Nose.

The mercury power plant has been
developed by the General Electric
Co. and, while every effort has been
made to prevent the escape of fumes,
the disastrous possibilities have al
ways been a matter of concern. The
human nose cannot detect the pres
ence Of mercury vapor, but the pres
ence Of a very small amount is deadly
to those who breathe it. Accordingly,
the engineers of the company have been
struggling with the problem and a de-
vice has been built which will detect
the presence of one part of mercury
in an atmosphere of 100, ,000, 900 parts,
and, furthermore, having done this, it
will ring q bell and flash a red light.
The operation Is accomplished by use
Of the electric eye. although in this
case it is the electric nose.
