STAR RISES

Fears Held Unionist May
Bring California to Side

BY BART SHERIDAN,

special correspondent OF The Star.
LOS ANGELES, September Ia
Cheers OF 5000 massed Townsendites
have again caused predictions that
Presidential Candidate William Lemke
may so whittle California's Demo-
cratic majority that Gov. Landons
ELECTORAL slate will nose out President
Roosevelts ticket in November.
The cheers followed an address by
DR.. Francis E. Townsend at a mass
meeting of the old-age pension advo-
Gates. DR.. Townsend gave his personal
Endorsement to the Union party
candidate.

AS the oldsters staged a veritable
demonstration for Lemke. it became
evident that goodly portion of the
Townsend vote will go to the third
party standard bearer-and away
from Mr.. Roosevelt.

two parties and a large field Of can

the TownsendLemke voters will come
from the ranks of the Democrats.
Active Republican and Democratic
campaigner5 gave themselves
breathing spell after the primary
ballots we're counted. First steps in
the home stretch presidential race
were taken this week as newly chosen
county central committees prepared
to elect their chairmen and gear for
the coming struggle.
Leadership in Doubt.
In strategic Los Angeles County
the Republicans seem to have settled
upon Leo E. Anderson, Pasadena at
torney and leader in the dominant
California Republican Assembly, to
head the campaign.
Schism in the Democratic ranks
leaves the question of Bourbon lead
ership still in doubt. OF the 2l0 COM
mittee members chosen last week the
faction headed by Senator William
Gibbs McAdoos law partner, William
Neblett, elected 81: State Senator
Culbert Olsen's group, 43, and Ham,
ilton CottonS wing. "a. Since q ma
iority of the votes is necessary to
elect a chairman, the remaining 46
Democrats, most of whom are un-
allied. were expected to decide the
party leadership in California.

UTAH POLL RETURNS
CHEER G. o. P. BRIEFLY
Early Totals Show Dillman
Ahead, but Later Figures Prob
ably Will Favor Blood.
BY FRANK P. STEWART.


SALT LAKE CITY, September IL.
Republicans were jubilant here early
this week over first returns from a
straw ballot conducted by . local
newspaper, which indicated that the
Republican candidate for governor
was leading Gov. Blood, Democratic
candidate for reelection. This was
in the face Of more than q 2-to-l
vote for Roosevelt and q Democratic
lead for all other offices.
This enthusiasm has somewhat
subsidized, however, since . study Of
the ballot, which was conducted BY
. Republican newspaper, has brought
out that the first returns were from
the first congressional district, where
Mayor Harmon Peery, mayor of Og-
den, is an independent candidate for
Governor. Later returns are expected
to even up the vote and place Blood
ahead Of his Republican rival, Sen
ator Ray Dillman. The concensus
seems to be that Blood will be elected,
but that the independent candidate
will cut into his vote materially.

12-Making the earliest start for
many years. Republicans have already
opened their campaign in New Mex

cratic stronghold. The top-iner can
didates, including Judge M. A. Otero,

in the hope of cutting down the

In the meantime Gov. Clyde Tingley
is away in California on a vacation
with his wife. who is i'll, and the
Democrats have not opened fire.
Republicans are heartened over re-
ports that fusions are being planned

Name Not Printed on Vote
Sheets in Bay States
Primary Tuesday.
BY w. E. MULLINS,
Snecial Correspondent of The StaY.

BOSTON, September 12.-The most
important contest in the Massachu-
sets primary Tuesday is the one be-
tween Gov. James M. Curley. Mayor
Robert E. Greenwood Of Fitchburs
and Thomas c. O'Brien, Father
Coughlin's candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, for the Democratic nominat ton
for United States Senator.
Only the names of Gov. Curley and
Mayor Greenwood will appear on the
ballot. Mr.. O'Brien is seeking nomi-
nation on stickers. Gov. Curley's ad-
ministration has been the target for
considerable criticism by his oppo-
nents, but he Is expected to emerge
victorious because of his conceded
strength in the large Democratic
cities.
Lodge Has Two Opponents.
Although Representative Henry
Cabot Lodge, jr.. has two opponents
for the Republican nomination for
United States Senator, neither has
made any campaign, and he will win
by overwhelming majority.
State Treasurer Charles F. Hurley
has no opposition for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, while John
w. Haigis will be given the Republi-
can nomination for Governor with
out opposition.
Mayor Greenwood. son-in-law of
United States Senator Marcus A.
Coolidge, whose term ends this year
has taken up the cudgel in behalf
of his father-in and carried the
fight to Gov. Curley. The Governor
has been inactive because of his as
surance Of strong machine support.
Fully as important as the primary
elections to the politicians has been
the arrival here Of James Roosevelt.
eldest son Of the President, prepared
to establish headquarters for the
duration of the campaign in Boston.
Young Roosevelt Campaigns.
Young Roosevelt, apparently dis
satisfied with the progress Of his
fathers campaign for reelection in
the Bay State. is prepared to take
over its personal direction. He has
outlined plans to visit every one OF
the States 355 cities and towns on
a series Of speaking tours between
now and election day, November 3.
The various Democratic candidates
here have not displayed the devotion
to the New Deal that had been ex-
pected from them. They are waging
personal campaigns without becoming
closely identified either with Gov
Curley's administration or with the
Federal administration.

CORRESPONDENT Of The Star

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 12.-With
campaigning for the primary Tues
day virtually over. the best feed-box
dope seems to point to the following
results:
Former Gov. Wilber M. Brucker
will defeat Senator CouSens for the
Republican nomination for Senator
Couzens, once admitted an almost
certain winner by every one except
Brucker and his most ardent admir-
ers, is believed to have thrown his
chance away by declaring for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. It will not. however,
be as easy victory as Brucker and
his supporters now seem to expect.
Couzens' admirers have rallied around
him to the extent that he has an out
side chance to win.
Representative Prentiss M. Brown
of st. Ignsce will take the Democratic
nomination for Senator over three
rivals. There are two unknown guam
titles in this race that might change
the result. No one knows how much
strength the following of Father
Charles Z. Coughlin can throw to the
support of Louis B. Ward, Coughlin
candidate and head of the Washing
ton lobby of the N. u. S. J. Most Of
the wiser politicians think Coughlin's
strength has been greatly overrated.
The second unknown quantity Is how
many votes Judge Ralph w. Liddy Of
Detroit can take in Wayne County.
Experienced politicians do not think
Liddy will cut much ice. because only
a year ago he was still the head Of q
Republican club.
Gov. Fitzgerald to Win.
Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald will win
the Republican nomination by wide
margin over his lone rival
Frank Murphy, high commissioner

governor, in tight race for the Dem

old age pensioner, but dopesters are
inclined to scof at the effect of it.
They argue that Townsend's indorse-
ment means little. If anything. in

Congress. Townsend's motive In max
ing such an Endorsement apparently
Is only an attempt to take q crack
at the President, who is popularity

CHIEFS CONFIDENT.
Small Complimentary Vote
for Nominees Fails to
Shake Faith.
BY J. J. MULLEN,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

DENVER, September l2.-Despite
. comparatively small "complimen-
tary" vote for heads of the ticket in
the Colorado primary last week, Re-
publican leaders today were confident
Of success for the LAndon-Knox
presidential electors In the November
election.
The vote for Ray l. Sauter, United
States senatorial candidate. and
Charles M. Armstrong. candidate for
Governor, was materially cut down,
leaders said, because they were un-
opposed for their respective nomina-
tions.
johnson Runaway Surprise.
G. o. p. leaders also pointed out
that the bitter battle for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination between
Gov. Edward c. Johnson and former
Governor william E. Sweet would
leave scars that could not be remedied
before the November election day.
johnson made a surprise runaway of
the race, winning over Sweet by
margin Of nearly two to one, and the
Governor amazed even his own fol-
lowers by carrying the city of Denver
by some 5000 votes, when prior to
the primary election Denver was vir-
tually conceded to Sweet by 5000.
Sweet had campaigned extensively on
the paramount issue that he was the
original new deal" man In Colorado,
charging that johnson failed to CO.
operate with the Roosevelt admins
tration. Johnson. however, in the
few preprimary speeches he did make
vehemently denied this, declaring he
was whole-heartedly In favor OF all
New Deal legislation.
Candidates in both parties will start
their election campaign within a few
days. Sauter. the hard-hitting Re-
publican senatorial candidate, plans
to stump every section Of the State.
Even the Democratic leaders admit
privately that he will make a great
run" They argue. however, that
Johnson's showing in the primary is
indicative Of his vote-getting strength
and that he will win the senatorial
seat.
Trade Of Votes Frequent.
Observers point out, also, that Colo
RADIO is known to frequently trade"
for q presidential vote, and that the
possibility exists Of the Landon Knox
supporters making their creates fight
for the presidential electors, aban-
doning the other candidates to their
own resources.
An interesting story Of future pos
sibilities In the State Was heard in
hotel lobbies Immediately after the
primary results were known. 1t was
said that President Roosevelt might
logically seek . successor to the late
George H. Dern. Secretary Of War,
in the Rocky Mountain States. Dern
came from Utah. It was not beyond
the realm Of political possibility, the
story went, that. providing Roosevelt
, Is reelected. he may appoint Senator
Alva Adams to the ca abinet war post,
leaving johnson in the position of
not only appointing q United States
Senator from Colorado. but also be-
coming the senior Senator from the
State. with all the patronage that
goes with that senioity-in event. of
course. he Is elected.

Indeed. hitherto the only bolt from

that he would vote for Landon came

DEMOCRATS ADMIT
DUBORD IS BEATEN
BarroWs, COP. Candidate,
Conceded Victory for
Governor.

AUGUSTA, Me-, September IA
Anything may occur in Names elec-
ton Of q United States Senator Mon
day. That Is how close that particular
contest appears to be. At the same
time there is more reason to expect the
reelection Of Senator wallace H.
White, jr, Republican, than there is
to look for his Democratic opponent,
Gov. Louis j. Brann, to win.
Allowing that Brsnn will carry all
counties party leaders claim by the
majorities which they forecast, and
that White will only have those coun-
ties conceded him by Brann leaders
by the majorities they ascribe him,
the latter will have a lead Of more
than 1000 votes in the State.
In at least two of these counties
claimed for Brann there is more rea-
son to expect them to give White q
margin than to go for Brann. In two
of the others they should more prop
erly be counted as doubtful, with the
best the Governor could hope for
being an even break.
Brann Claims Six Counties.
At this stage of the campaign Brann
leaders claim six of the sixteen coun-
ties. Taking their outside claims in
those counties and there is q Brann
ma jority in them of II 900. Doing the
same with the eight conceded Repub-
lcan, and allowing them the full mar
gins by which party leaders are claim
ing them for White, you have a total
of $4,000 majority for the Senator, or
q net majority of 5000.
Checks made by other than party
leaders indicate that Brann is beaten
by anything from 2,500 up.
From the best information available
these are the counties which are very
sure to be for the Governor: Andro-
scoggin, Sagadahoc and Washington,
with Oxford very probable for him.
The White counties are ArooStook,
Cumberland, Franklin, Hancock,
Knox, Lincoln, Penobscot and Waldo.
Doubtful counties are Kennebec,
Piscataqui, Somerset and York.
OF these doubtful counties Kenne-
queStionably show more of q trend
toward White than to Brann, while
in York County it is generally con-
ceded that the balance lays in the
industrial town of Sanford.
G. o. p. Governor Victory Seen.
With few exceptions Democrats.
leaders and otherwise, agree that the
Republican candidate for Governor,
Lewis o. Barrows, secretary of State,
will win by a sizeable margin over
F. Harold Dubord. the Democrat
candidate and national committeeman
from Maine.
Democrats believe they can re-elect
Representative Simon Hamlin in the
first district, but they are far from
positive. They hope that in the null
tiplicity Of candidates in the second
district their candidate, former Mayor
Ernest Mclean Of Augusta, may win.
Republicans are In about the same
frame of mind with relation to their
candidate. Clyde H. Smith of Show
hegan, while all agree that it would be
no surprise II Rev. J. Clarence Leck-
emby of Pittsfield, running as an inde-
pendent, captured the prize.
In the third district there Is every
reason to believe that Representative
Ralph o. Brewster will carry all but
one county and will win by a sub
stanttal majority.

NEW YORK, April 18-Stocks gave
way under further selling pressure in
todays market, many declining frac-
tionS to around 2 points and some
much more.
A break of around 10 points in

vances and a little support arrived in
the last few minutes for several issues.
The close was heavy. Transfers ap-
proximated $50 900 shares.
The European scene still held dis.
turhing aspects for traders, although
no serious development was expected
until after the French elections the
latter part Of this month. The Italo-
Ethiopian crisis was a disturbing spot
in the news.
At the same time the domestic pic.
ture, while bit ragged here and there,
was more hopeful than otherwise.
