mented, and new posters and ban
ners were designed. The day af-
ter the call for the run-off pri-
mary, the Mcdonald headquarters
had a new banner stretching the
full length of the headquarters
room. 1t read: eve have just be-
gun to fight"
Most observers believed issues
which have been predominant in
the first primary would be subor-
dinated in the second. Mcdonald
indicated as much by his blister
ing attack on machine rule"
when he called for the runoff and
when he declared that "the sec
ond primary will center entirely
on this question: Shall machine
rule be permitted to continue it's
iniquitous domination in our
state?"
Hoey forces, too, let it be
known they would center their
fire upon the menace" of the Nc
Donald candidacy rather than at
tempt to battle it out on issues.
Adoption of a platform by the
State Democratic convention that
conceded generally with the Hoey
campaign planks lent impetus to
the move to subordinate issues for
the July 4th contest.
One issue, however, doomed as
a possible battle-ground because of
failure of the party platform to
mention it-liquor.
Neither candidate stressed his
liquor stand in the first primary
campaign, and it was considered
likely that one or the other would
bring it to the fore within the
next few weeks, thus forcing an
open clash. A liquor plank which
would have had the effect of open
ing the way for the legislature to
reconsider liquor control in its
next session was killed in the
hearing room of the platform
committee at the convention.
1t was believed that public APP
pearances Of the two candidates
would be less frequent in the COM
ing primary, at least until the
final week. DR.. Mcdonald is eX-
pected to spend greater part of
his time before July 4th in county
organization work and personal
contacts, with only an occasional
speech. Hoey, whose strongest
campaign weapon admittedly is
his oratorical ability, is expected
to speak more frequently than his
opponent but not as frequently as
he did prior to the first contest.
Possibility that the run-off pri-
mary might not be held on ma
tional holiday faded at the meet
ing of the board of elections which
canvassed the official vote of the
first primary. After discussing the
matter in executive session with
representatives of both candidates
for governor, the board closed the
matter without acting. 1t was I'M

Other Editors Say
McGUFFEY'S READERS
Oakland Tribune

The great army of those who read McGuffey
in school is unanimous in applauding the ex-
ercises at Oxford, Ohio which marked the CEN
tennial of the first publication of the first of
the famous readers. "A speaker there declared
an opinion to which many may subscribe: IF
the Guffey Readers were in the schools today,
there would be more honest people and less
science"
Greatly desired is more honest people, but
why drag in science If it were in some way
to be contraSted with honesty? Since 1885, when
the first McGuffey Reader came off the press
science has made great strides in discovering
facts and announcing truths, and how many,
really would turn back the pages?
There is point in arguing that schools do
their part in teaching young people to be
honest and self-reliant, though many ntma-
lions that the schools are doing no such thing
are mistaken. William Holmes McGuffey as
those who thumbed his books in the older
schools know, put inspiration to right thinking
into his pages. Some l22 million copies of his
readers were sold and read 1t was an edu-
cational authority who said: Their influence
in shaping the American mind in mid nine
teenth century can scarcely be exaggerated"

A RAY OF LIGHT SHINES
OVER WESTERN PACIFIC

Like tiny ray of sunlight in gloomy
and darkening world comes word that
japanese delegates to the Institute of
Pacific Relations session at Yosemite,
Calf, definitely indicated that Japan
would be willing to sign a treaty with
the United States and Great Britain to
guarantee permanently the independence
and neutrality Of the Philippines.
These delegates do not officially repre-
sent the japanese government, but there
is reason to believe they are not backing
an idea that is repellent to the japanese
powers-to-be.
Up jumps the gentleman with the
cynical eye, and says "Yeah-just the
kind of treaty Belgium had in 1914"
Yet when the present period of mad
ness passes, the world must return to
treaties and mutual arrangements that
are more than scraps of paper" to ma
tions that are as true to their word as
are honest men.
The fact that supposedly honorable
nations have been tossing treaties into
the wastebasket with sickening regular
ity of late does not mean this will always
be true.
A treaty guaranteeing Philippine in
dependence and neutrality would be of
Q6IlUllo duNdHIdSe W dll iii &C NOuhei iOo
involved. To the United States and
Britain it would mean freedom from
concern about that particular corner of
the Far East
Japan has her hands full at the mo-
ment and for some time to come in Asia,
meeting increased resistance from Soviet
Russia and reviving Chinese national
ism, and with huge chunks of Manchuria
swallowed but still undigested.
Further, General Macarthur has per-
fected defense plan for the Philippines
that would make japanese attempt at
conquest bloody and costly job.
So it is possible that Japan may be
entirely "on the level" about desire to
stabilize the southwestern Pacific by
making reality of the dream of an in
dependent Philippine Island group.
Certainly that is infinitely desirable to
the United States, which looks with in
creasing distaste on continuing respon-
sibilities in one of the hottest corners
of the earth.
Just how hot it is may be seen from
the fact that the chief importer of Amer
lean munitions in recent months has been

KEEPING THE YOUNGSTERS
BUSY nv Ell CENTRO

Under way in Ell Centrq/ 4 program
to keep boys from II to IGN rs old off
the streets by means of sup ised play
in the city parks. Baseball tehms, hand
ball teams and teams in other recrea-
tions, as we'll as individual competition,
will feature the program as it gains
headway under supervision of the Ell
Centre city council and direction of
Lloyd Stark, member of the police de-
partment.
The program is carrying out a plan
suggested several months ago by the
co-ordinating council. Putting the city's
park facilities to the best use, at the
same time it is bound to have a direct
result in making Ell Centro's boys
finer bunch both mentally and physi-
cally For the police department, it will
lessen the necessity of correcting ju-
venile delinquency which, in many cases,
is merely a bubbling over of boyish
energy.
Such programs as that started in Ell
Centre, if put into effect all over the
country, would have decided hand in
correcting juvenile indiscretions, de-
creasing the population of correctional
institutions, and would give boys a new
insight into their community life.

News Behind the News
Contrasts m Political Strategy
LandOn And His Qualifications
Nec Dealers in Good Spirits

WASHINGTON = OF absorbing interest to
the Washington observer are the contrasting
systems Of strategy being employed by the two
major parties as they swing toward the stretch
drive for the November election
The Republicans in their "buid-up" have
stressed Landon's common sense, his canny
spending, his ability to save pennies. They
picture him as horse -and-buggy," prairie
state, smal-town man, with his feet solidly on
the ground.
The Democrats are endeavoring to convince
the voters that the KanSan is not big enough
for the job, that he lacks the experience and
the statesmanlike qualities which a president
should have, and the Democratic strategistS are
doing everything possible to promote the idea
that they are running a superman against an
opponent who has yet to prove himself of presi-
Dental stature.
bandon and his advisers must meet this
threat. And it is certainty that COP. stra-
tegists will be trying vigorously to do so from
now on
Spirits of New Dealers, however, have been
noticeaby higher during August
Scouts sent out by the Democratic high
command return with reports that there is
creeping sense" of doubt as to LandonS
ability to cope with the major national and
International problems which will beset the
president who takes office on Jan. 20, 1887.
The New Dealers say this is attributable to
two things:
l. Landons acceptance speech, they con-
tend was uninsplring in both content and de-
livery.
g. The Spanish situation and the threat
of European war, with the many complications
that would face the United States. This factor,
say New Deal insiders, has alarmed some east
ern conservatives who hate Roosevelt and wish
they could feel sure that Landon would be
strong enough to meet possible future world
stresses and strains.
Further optimism is engendered by the Dem
ocratic belief that National Chairman John D.
M Hamilton has not lived up to the reputation
he built at and after the Cleveland convention.
Roosevelt is not overlooking any bets along
the line of whiting down Landon, as his
Chautauqua speech proved. There he stressed
by implication what he considers his superior
qualifications for dealing with wars perilS

ment?
Well, it happens that in the Dutch
East Indies are the vast oil reserves and
storage tanks of the Dutch Shell Oil Co.,
to large extent British controlled.
Surely the Dutch East Indies are not
increasing their naval air coast patrols
because they think everything is quiet on
the Far Eastern front.
Perhaps it is not too much to hope
that the little ray of sunlight which
shone through the institute meeting may
broaden out into genuine sunshine in the
western Pacific.

Of singularity!"

OF S1n9ularlty!
Reflection: I sometimes wonder
whence comes the paste with which
labels are stuck on bottles and the
paper on cigar boxes so sempiter-
nal you can soak them forever and
still there's always one little corner
that clings. Not many men can
tear the band off cigar in less
than four strokes.
And as an enthusiast for cello
phane in it's place, I think there
should be an anti Cellophane
League. The war should begin on
things that do not need cellophane
at all-such as tins of tobacco.
However, we should spare the cell
lophane wrapped girls, water proof
ed against a rainy day. Their
transparency gives them a ghost
like effect. Something wraithlike
out of a London fog that would
have caught ziegfeld's eye.
