THE LEMKE STRENGTH

Virtually all observers at the recent national yentions concede the Democrats to have the inside track while the Republicans given credit for starting rebuilding process which may bring them victory, but that hope is set forward for at least another four years On the face of the present poli tea picture after the conventions the bulk of politi cal writers give Governor Landon, the Republican nominee, but an outside chance
 But it not be overlooked that there several factors which bound to enter into the present. campaign and which may have tendency to draw from the Democratic support and consequently cut down its majority if such it be- against the major opposition One of the most potent is the combined Townsend-Lemke- Coughlin forces Some feel that Al Smiths decision to take walk" will have bearing but the number who would follow MT Smith with his Big Business philosophy is comparatively small in contrast with the crowd of malcontens who always seeking Utopia. As Delbert Clark political expert writes from Washington Lemke is candidate of blind protest and his strength will be the strength of blindness
 His platform provides for everything thus a natural bait for the unwary and impractical For example he calls for virtual economic and political isolation from the rest of the world and for per feet system of national defense; for retirement of

AN IMPORTANT LEGISLATURE

The importance of the Legislature which convenes next January is reflected daily Its membership is to be confronted with of the most important prob lens that have confronted Territorial Legisla ture The action taken will determine to considerable extent the progress the Territory to make in the next few years
 For example, just yesterday Associated Press dispatch from Washington carried the information that Alaska is to benefit to a larger extent under the new George-Dean vocational education act pro- vidng of course the Territory matches approximately half the fund. That is just one of the many things the Legislature will have to consider. The old age security program is another and there will be count less other proposals put before the Legislative body in addition to the usual Territorial affairs. Most of them will call for expenditure of money.
 It is something to consider move along toward the September election Are going to elect to office who properly equipped to handle matters of major import to the Territory and it's future those who with clear vision the proper course those who will falter and stumble in hope for personal advancement at sacri- flee of Aaskas future? Will place in position of responsibility those who ahead with tona leadership, friendly to Alaska, those who might play backyard politics at the expense of the Territory?
 And just important those who must be elected to the other Territorial offices It is boast to say the finances of the Territory in ex- celent shape. They are. We can keep them that way by eectng to the Legislature and Territorial offices men women who realize the value of a favorable balance, but who at the time not immune to expending for such things will bring returns not only in dollars and cents but in the well being and prosperity of the whole people of Alaska.

all government debt by means of central bank of issue which presumably would print paper money to accomplish this end; for gentle touch in taxation coupled with confscatory limit wealth; for old age pensions and number of very definite benefits designed to catch discontented voters. Strange as it may seem, the Lemke program even extends the wand to the American Liberty League for he slyly pledges to protect private industry from high taxes That's what the average person would call covering the field, from poverty to riches
 It becomes more and more evident that as third party the Lemke group probably will get no where in the national picture, but whatever vote it gets is sure to draw fom the forces of the two major parties Having extreme efst platform and with its leaders men of extreme radical thought it is bound to take from the Democratic ranks some of those unsatisfied souls who believe wider swing to the left will bring a better social order

Peaceful Revision
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The negotiations of nine powers at Montreux, Switzerland are an interesting contrast to the action of Nazi Germany in moving troops into the Rhine land suddenly and dramatically without seeking ap- proval or giving warning. The conference at Mon treux was called at the request of Turkey who wants to fortfy the Dardanelles and the Bosporus, which is now forbidden by treaty.
 Instead of tearing up the treaty, Chancellor Hitler did when he ready to occupy the de- militarized zone of the Rhineand the Turkish Gov ernment has sought peaceful and entirely legal method In consequence, the powers are inclined to grant Turkeys request without much argument and Turkey is making friends rather than enemies, by this procedure
 The Montreux conference, which is temporarily adjourned for the League of Nations meetings, is really international legislature, to deal with legal question of importance to all Europe and parts of Asia. The demlitarized status of the Straits is an integral part of the public law of Europe Any change in that status should by the collective decision of the powers concerned
 There is good deal of maneuvering at this par ley as in any legislature Great Britain and Japan are seeking unrestricted transit for vessels of foreign powers Russia and France are arguing that the Straits should be closed to the warshps of powers other than Russia and Turkey, who, of course must have access to the Black Sea. But this question is secondary for Turkey, whose great concern is the defense of her territory The whole affair is couraging as evidence that the orderly revision of the postwar peace treaties is quite possible without force or threats of it.

u new jumping course has been
laid out in the ring and over the

boxes are clean swept and draped with
gay bunting. everything has had a
new coat of whitewash and the beau
tiful grove of large oak trees never
looked more perfect than when I saw
it yesterday.

The Founders Cup is the one that
I like best. copied from the cups given
when the show was started "a years
ago. The show grounds are about on
line between Fauquier and Loudoun
Counties, so in those long ago days,
only horses from these two counties
were entered. There were, of course,
no shining vans to cart those from a
distance. as is the case today, where
they come from all over the country
to compete.
AS a result, the Founders Cup Is
only for horses bred and owned in
Fauquier and Loudoun Counties, thus
keeping up the interest in breeding
good horses, that Col Richard Dulany
started when he suggested having the
first colt show"

moved S28,719 Fund.
nv the Associated Press.

~
ANNAPOLIS, June 10-Emory M.
Coblentz, former president of the de-
funct Central Trust Co. Of Maryland,
yesterday was held liable by the Court
Of Appeals for a $28,719.39 trust fund
under a will by which Coblentz and
Newton A. Fulton were executors. The
court held Fulton was not liable.
The trust arose under the will Of
CephaS M. Thomas. who died in Fred
erick County ins1919, leaving his eS-
tate to three children. including Eu-
gene Zimmerman, each to receive
their share when they became 25.
Coblentz and Fulton were named ex-
ecutors of the will
In 1925 proceeding as "executory
trustees" with court authority, they
sold certain securities and real prop
erty in the estate. Two of the heirs
we're paid off and the balance willed
to Zimmerman was on deposit in the
Walkersville Savings Bank. Fulton
became president of this institution.
On May IA, 1880, the Central Trust
Co. took over the Walkersville bank
and continued it as a branch of the
trust company. The Central Trust
Co. went into the hands of the bank
commissioner on September 2, 1881.
