second.
In other contests where opposing
candidates were running almost en-
tirely on party issues, the returns
showed that the greatest interest
was centered In the Democratic
nominations, indicating that the
gains made by the. Democrats IN
the 1882 and 1894 elections have
been retained and that in most
instances the state will go Demo-
cratic In the November election.
Results of the election in the
Priest Rapids valley were approx
mately the same as in the state as
a whole. The vote in the governor
ship race showed the Townsend
strength to be quite weak In the
Hartford and Columbia precincts,
while in the White Bluffs precinct
it amounted to about one-third Or
the total vote.
Stevenson was very weak In these
three precincts, while IN general
the Democrats polled a much larger
vote than the Republicans.

individual liberties" or invading the

He did not refer to the Supreme
Court by name. but he drew applause
as he spoke highly Of the N. R. A. and
A. A. A., and added:

Of the economic unity Of the entire
country that no group Of individuals
ana no individual States could by
themselves take the action necessary
to restore the purchasing power of the

"Only the Federal Government
could accomplish that" he emphasized.

was dark and wrinkled and clinging to

the White House that q reasonable

about before proceeding to what he

the highest levels since April, 1880, In
the holiday week.
The Associated Press weighted index
Of IS important wholesale prices rose
to 1882 per cent Of the 1925 average
from 1854 last week and compared
with 7740 year ago.
Within the past fortnight each Of
the six principal groups making up
the index has pushed through to q
new peak for the year or longer, ex-
cepting live stock.
This single detection resulted from
the same drought forces that rocketed
grain quotations in recent months.
In this case, however, quotations Dip
ped sharply.
The reason for divergent trends
springing from the same source Is that
high prices of grains resulting from
scarcity makes it too expensive to
feed animals and the market is flooded
with them at declining prices.
Upswing Less Uniform.
Although price advances of staples
used in the index continued to out
weight recessions by 18 to S in the
week ended December "a brokers de-
tected less unanimity in the upswing
than has been evident in recent weeks.
Both grains and textiles, for ex-
ample, fell back from highs estab-
lished last week and fluctuations were
more erratic.
Industrial commodities, foods and
non-ferrous metals, however, marked
up new tops for the year on heavy
demand.
There was no diminution in the flow
of orders from industries attempting
to build up inventory positions in the
face Of mounting prices.
Copper set the pace, rising from II
to 11Ss cents pound. Lead and
antimony were close behind with siz-
able increases. Only tin, unsettled
by talk of disagreement among pro-
ducers over quotas for the coming
year. weakened.
Hides, rubber, steel scrap and lin
seed oil felt the tugging of industry's S
seemingly endless requirements, chalk
ing up good gains. Turpentine slipped
slightly.
Food responded unanimously to the
steady improvement in purchasing
power incidental to larger dividends,
wages and bonuses. Eggs, cocoa, -four
and lard all moved up.
Live Stock Higher.
Live stock jumped to the highest
point since February; hogs. lamb and
cattle sharing the upturn.
Agricultural staples were mixed
Setbacks in wheat and oats more than
offset higher rye and cotton quotations
The reaction in wheat followed the
steep upswing Of the past two months
that carried prices to the highest level
