government Is not neutral in its feel

brief recital of the events of recent

Portugal has followed course OF
domestic upheaval not unlike SPANS
The Portuguese monarchy was over
thrown in 1911 and a republic was

Incapable of Ruling.
It became clear that the military
rebels, having brought down the re-
public, were incapable of ruling the
country. Da Costa was deposed and
exiled and was succeeded by his for
eign minister, Gen. Carmona. This
government, in turn, was confronted
in February. 1927, with a Communist
uprising, which broke out in Oporto
and spread to Lisbon. This brief but
bloody revolution was also suppressed

and force many Democrats conserva-
tives to go over completely to the Re-
publican side.
Such a development would be Of
material aid to the Landon ticket. The
primaries will not be held until Sep
tember 8, so it is difficult to tell how
the State will line up until after the
primaries. incidentally, the prize for
eccentric primary laws goes to the
State of Washington which enacted
hodge-podge statute at the last session
Of the legislature.
In the first place, anybody now can
vote in the primary irrespective of
previous afiliation and when entering
the polling booth nobody can call for
party ballot because there is no such
thing. Instead single ballot is given
the voter. This year there are no less
than 287 candidates for State and con-
gressional Offices There are only about
is Offices in all, but under each office
in separate vertical column are the
names of the candidates and there are
IA candidates for Governor alone. In
some districts, there are about 600
names on the ballot.
Straight Vote Handicapped.
There's no way to vote straight Re-
publican or Democratic ticket In the
primary without spending a half hour
In the voting booth. 1t isn't really a
primary ballot. but preliminary elec-
ton. Nor can one who wins nomi-
nation be said often to be the choice
of majority of the voters. Thus in
one district there are 20 candidates
for Congress. Here the man nominated
in each party-for there are party des-
ignations opposite the name hori-
zontally-is very likely to be a minority
choice.
This State always has been in
terested in radical programs from the
days of the old Populist party. It
gave LaFollette a substantial vote in
1924. Today the alignment between
conservatism and radicalism is
sharper than 1t has been in a gen
Grafton.
This is the conservative end Of the
State, but here the big Federal ap-
propriations for Grand Coulee Dam
have made favorable impression
for the New Deal. So with radical
ism in the western end of the State
and the financial benefits in the
eastern end, the difficulties of the
Republican management are plain to
see.
G. O. P.'s Silver Cloud.
There may be aid to the Republic
cans, however, from an unexpected
quarter. A recent private poll of
w. P. A. workers revealed IS per
cent vote against Mr.. Roosevelt. The
reason given is that they are impa-
tient to get regular jobs and are not
satisfied with makeshifts. The argu-
ment is already being used by the
Republicans, who have put on bill

Speaking of w. P. A. and Federal
projects generally, there seems no
doubt that the public knows more,
about the waste than is generally
believed. The Grand Coulee Dam is,
of course, no boondoggling affair, hav-
ing been conceived under Republi-
can administrations as a means of
bringing water to the farms, enrich

deserves consideration apart from any
political aspects and will try to
give its economic side in tomorrow's
dispatch.
For the moment the New Deal will
receive the political benefit but any
project which is to involve over a
period Of years a possible expenditure
of s400, 900, 900 Is something which in
order to get continuing appropria-
tions, will have to win support in
Congress from Republicans and
Democrats in the East as we'll as the
