DES MONIES, Iowa. September IL.
Iowa State candidates of both par
ties had a tough time campaigning
during the week just closed after the
spectacular meeting of President
Roosevelt and Gov. All NJ. Landon in
Des Moines last week.
Gov. Clyde L. Herring, the Demo-
cratic candidate for United States
Senator, made one speech, but Sena-
tor l.. ]. Dickinson, Republican up

self throughout his stay in Des
Moines, coinciding exactly with the
time required to meet the President,
as the Governor of Kansas, is coming
back to Des Moines for an agricul-
tural speech September ~.
Campaign Speech in October.
The President is expected to make
campaign speech, without any non-
political pretense, in Des Moines in
October. He will be followed by
former Gov. Frank o. Lowden of
Illinois. speaking for Landon, in Des
Moines.
Democrats expressed full confidence
in carrying Iowa after the Presidents
drought conference. They exhibited
some over-confidence, which no doubt
was reflection of the expansive
ness OF the members Of the Presi-
dents party.
Republicans were entirely satisfied
with the cordial reception given Lam
don in Des Moines. Although his
ride through the city in the closed
car in which he drove from Topeka
made it difficult for some to see him,
those who did greeted him with
enthusiasm.
All the straw polls in Iowa, with
the exception of the poll by the Farm
Journal of Philadelphia. Pa, are
showing good leads for Landon. The
Farm Journal took a poll at the Iowa
State Fair, which was going for
Landon in contrast to the earlier
returns, but did not make public
final totals.
Gains Conceded to G. o. P.
In spite of the early poll advan-
tages for Landon. Republicans are
organizing like they have not done
since 1912, when Woodrow Wilson. due
to the Taft-Roosevelt split, got Iowa's
electoral vote and four Democratic
Representatives were elected.
Democrats concede congressional
gains for Republicans in Iowa. They
don't claim seriously any of the three
seats out of nine held by the Repub-
licans in 1882 and 1894. and they
virtually give up the sixth congress
sional district, in which C. C. Dowell.
former Representative. is Republican
candidate.
Representative Hubert Utterback.
who relinquished his seat to run un-
successfully against Herring. has no
equal as vote getter among Demo-
Gratis in the district.
There are two other districts in
which Republican candidates have
good prospects. Democrats say that,
although they might lose congressional
seats in close presidential race. they
have no fear that Roosevelt will win
by minimum of rs. 600 votes. Repub-
licans are swapping up all bets
offering 75,00O-vote handicaps.

Alabama Fears
Regime eChange
MayEnd Funds
Var Chest is Raised
to Continue u. S.
Dollar FIOtU.
BY J. r. ROTHERMEL,


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, September
12.-The campaign cry in Alabama
and other parts of the South right
now is to raise dollars for the DEM
ocratic war chest in order that Fed
eral dollars may continue to come
this way.
Southerners believe that If the Re-
publican party wins in November it
is not likely to be generous or even
fair to States Of solid party loyalty
in the distribution of Federal bene-
fits. They believe that If the South
wants to continue to share well in
outlays from Washington it must fight
to keep the Democratic party in
power.
AS a result of this attitude Demo-
Gratis of Alabama are worrying more
right now about dollars for democracy
than they are for electoral votes for
Roosevelt. There is no question about
the Democrats carrying this State,
but what Alabama Democrats are wor-
ried about is the fear that the Demo-
Gratis may not win in some needed
doubtful States and as result the
quantity of pie coming this way will
be painfully curtailed.
Under the chairmanShship of Rep
resentative Boykin, Alabama Demo-
Gratis are seeking to raise $240,000
as campaign fund for the President
in doubtful areas.

Philippine Farmer
Forced to Accept
Ne1U Deals Check

MANILA, p. I. ON.-Don Maximo
Carbungco Of Guagua, Pampanga,
must take $500 in sugar processing
tax money whether he wants it or not.
The aged don was dead set against
accepting the money. because, he
maintains, it was offered "in violation
Of the laws of God"
The don is q landowner and upon
his lands grew sugar cane. The sun
shone. the rains fell. all nature smiled
and the don's crop was something to
boast about.
Then came the New Deals CROP
control plan. The don's cane was de-
stroyed by fire. The Pampanga sugar
mill was authorized to pay him $500
out Of processing tax funds.
His sons, heirs to the don's fortune,
insisted that he accept it and when
he continued to refuse the funds they
went into court. The court ordered
that the money be paid to the heirs.
His idealism shattered, the aged don
just shook his head as the check was
handed to his sons. He told friends
that he would NOT be responsible for
any act Of Divine Providence that
may befall his sons.

TRENTON. September l2-The
first campaigning after Labor day in
New Jersey has been marked by a
concerted Republican attack on Will

also Democratic State chairman.
Henry w. Jeffers. Republican State
chairman, and numerous other speak
ers have scored Kelly for holding both
positions, which have been ruled in
compatible by Secretary Of the Treas

resignation last year as State chair
man, but the committee never held
a meeting at which it could be ac-
cepted. The transparency Of the de-
vice was obvious again at the State
convention, when the committee met
and failed to consider election of new
officers.
Reports are that Mayor Frank
Hague of Jersey City, Democratic
State boss. would like to have seen
Kelly resign, but did not want to
ask him to do so. Kelly, a wealthy
retired banker, devotes all his time
to party policies and the Federal job.

POLITICIANS STUDY
WASHINGTON VOTE
Local Situations Expected
to Guide BaIIoting
in November.
BY JAMES De X. BROWN,


SEATTLE. Wash, September a.
Political leaders are trying to decipher
the meaning of Tuesdays primary
vote. They want to determine what
factors Influenced the result and
what effect the primary will have in
November.
The vote on the governorship gave
a ratio Of Democratic candidates over
Rpublican candidates Of about 312 to
/. Part of this is due to the fact that
Many Republicans voted for Gov.
Clarence D. Martin, incumbent, DEM
ocrat, to defeat John c. Stevenson,
who had espoused the production-for-
use, or e. p. I. c., plan. Martin won.
1t was roughly estimated that on the
face Of unofficial returns fully 20 per
cent Of the Martin vote was Repub-
lican
Former Gov. Roland H. Hartley was
an easy winner for the Republican
nomination.
Hartley Election Seen.
On primary day. owing to the fact
that Otto A. Case, Townsendite candi-
date for Governor, ran a poor third
on the Democratic ticket. conven-
tion was held and Judge w. B. Penn
berton was nominated for Governor
the same time the Commonwealth
Federation in convention nominated
Howard Costigan. The Union party
nominated o. M. Nelson. This means
that the left wing Democrats and
anti-Martin people will split their
vote three ways in November on the
governorship. Republican leaders
feel this means the election of Hart
ley.
In the congressional races the first
district nominated Warren Magnus-
son, commonwealth indorsee, on the
Democratic ticket. He drew the
zioncheck vote. Republicans nomi-
mated Fred Wettrick, conservative.
Magnusson was both a Common
wealth Federation candidate and a
left wing leader. In the fifth district
Judge Charles Leavy. Townsendite.
was nominated by the Democrats, and
William Hutton. a conservative, by
the Republicans In the fourth dis
trict Representative Knute Hill had
no opposition. Until the absentee
ballots are counted 1t is not known
whether DR.. John w. Summers,
Townsendite Republican. or Ed Flan-
nigan, was nominated. In the sixth
district a Townsend-indorsed Demo-
crat L. S. MILESTONE, was nominated
with Paul A. Preus, conservative Re-
publican.
Absentee Votes Awaited.
Representative NJ c. Wahlgren was
renominated in the third district with
Payson Peterson, Townsendite, and
Tim Healy, conservative. making a
close run to be determined by alb
sentee ballots.
Neither the Townsendites nor the
Commonwealth Federation polled
within many thousands the vote both
groups expected In many legis-
lative districts Republican candidates
drew more votes than did Democratic
candidates. Because of this fact the
feeling is general in Republican ranks
that this State in November will be
guided largely by local situations in
small legislative districts rather than
by national issues.

which lead to war The economic
consequences Of this can be clearly

Government into economic life, be-
cause private industry cannot meet

May it not be possible that the
American republics may lead the way
toward general economic improve

The overwhelming vote Of 257,247 out
of a total of 295, ,470 cast in the DEM
ocratic primaries given Senator James
F. Byrnes, supporter Of President
Roosevelt, has been considered such
a complete answer to South Cardinals
position in the present presidential

politics has practically subsidized in
this State.
The interest has been shifted to
proceedings in other States, and to

In State affairs the question Is who
