NORTH DAKOTA CHANCES
FOR LANDON IMPROVED
BY KENNETH w. SIMONS,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

BISMARCK, N. OAK. August Is
Alfred M. Landon's chances of carry
ing North Dakota were materially i'm
proved this week, when the Republican
State Committee set up an organiza-
ton which probably will direct the
campaigns for both the Republican
State ticket and the national candi-
dates.
Whether the present plans will be
carried out depends upon the reaction
which State candidates get from the
farmers. All of them belong to the
left wing of the party, sharply divided
for the last two years.
Down in the precincts the machinery
will work for Landon, as we'll as for
the Republican State ticket, and the
effect should be encouraging to the
Kansan.

SANTA FE, N. Mex, August Is
The Republican party will begin this
week one of the longest campaigns in
the States history.
The State convention opens at Albu-
querque Monday to nominate the State
ticket, including two candidates for
the United States Senate and one
for Congress. Usually the convention
has not been held until month later.
The necessity of rebuilding their or
ganization is believed to have infiu-
enced the party leaders to decide
upon such an early date.
Judge Miguel A. Otero, jr., is being
discussed as possible candidate for
the Senate, despite his statement that
he would not run for this Office.
Others mentioned for the senatorial
posts are j. c. Champion, e. r. Wright,
Francis G. Wilson, Edwin Mechem,
Caswell Neal and J. D. schustsg.

Idaho May Go G. O. P. Again.

BOISE, Idaho, August IS (Spe-
ciaD The vote in the recent Repub-
lican primary is larger than that
shown in the Democratic primary and
is taken to foreshadow the return OF
the State to the Republican column
Another deduction of the vot. of the
primary elections is that the Town
sendites lacked the Strength they
claimed. practically all candidates they
Endorsed having been defeated. The
State is still to be credited to Roose-
velt, but by only light percentage.

(SpeciaD Florida seems to be taking
the campaign quietly. No doubt fig

Last week a Democratic primary
nominated Judge c. o. Andrews of

Andrews campaigned as a liberal, but
in favor of old-sge pensions and
the completion of the Florida canal.

Possible future entry OF the Do.

circles as delegations from q in.

were assembled az Bueros Aires
for 4 conference 10 maintain in.
tcr-American peace.
New developments in world di.
plomacy, notably the emphasis on
neutrality principles and non-ag-
erosion pacts, were thought By
some experts 10 create a definite
need for Canadian participation
in the future evolution OF The con-
tinental peace movement. even
though Canada was not invited 10
the present conference. T h g
American peace picture will be
geographically incomplete wi;h
Canada outside.
President Roosevelt in his ad-
dress at Rio De Janeiro suggested
question for future debate
when he advanced tho idea that
the people Of the Dominion. no
less than the American republics.
wish TO lead their own lives free
from desire for conquest and ire"
from fear OF conquest"
Diplomatic circles felt that the
presidents view might hasten q
capitalization of public sentiment
in the Dominion regarding rcla.
tons toward American republics,
but thought that Canada'S special
situation as member of the
British commonwealth of nations
would prevent any early official
step at Ottawa.
For q quarter century tourist
guides at the Pan-American union
have pointed out the Canadian
coat-at-arms beside that Of the
American republics in the tropica!
Patio otherwise featured by an
Aztec fountain, noisy Cockatoos
and movable glass roof. Off
cial interest thus far has not
caught up with the popular attrac-
ton.
The idea of Canadian partici-
patton in the union was in the
minds of It's founders, but made
little progress for a long time
since Canada's foreign affairs and
diplomatic representation were
under control Of the British. In
recent years, however, Canada
has had her own legation here.

CAUSE MAGNETIC UPSETS
While the scientists DO not at

lar belief that the maxima Of these
sunspo,s bring crop failures, war
and pestilcnce, they admit that
changes in the earth's magnetic
field appear in complete synchron-
ization with changes in the sun
spots. Great sunspots often seem
20 be direct promoters OF great
magnetic disturbances and aurora
borcaliS displays.
These at least affect such actlvl-
ties as telegraphy and radio broad
casting and may have even more
profound effects than have a. yet
been discovered.
However, as TO popular beliefs
that way. famine and pestilence
are accompanied by these neck

Abbot is able 10 say may be sum

Unfortunately, however. the rec

which leaves adequate time for

scientist the world is just about
half way between the maximum

in reality are tempests, thousands
Of miles in diameter in the atmos-
