Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, March 12.-European
war clouds cast a threatening shadow
over Wall Street today, causing sue
cessive waves Of selling in the stock
market which depressed values l to
S points. The closing tone was weak.
Sales aggregated about 100000
shares.
After backing and filling in uncer-
tain fashion during the forenoon, SELL
ing cropped out on broad scale
shortly after II o'clock and before it
dried up temporarily a long list Of
trading favorites had dropped 2 to 5
a share. Brokers said many stop-loss
orders were uncovered on the dip.
Another period of active liquidation
hit the market around o'clock,
shortly after London dispatches were
posted in board rooms telling of the
delicate situation surrounding the
Locarno conference, and new lows on
the movement were recorded by nu-
merous leaders. Toward the close a
steadier trend was in evidence and
the market worked up shade.
Active shares losing ! to or more
points included Bethlehem Steel,
United States Steel, General Motors,
Chrysler, Allied Chemical. Air Reduc-
ton, J. I. Case. International Har-
vester, Westinghouse, American Tele-
phone, Santa Fe, Western Union,
Union Pacific. New York Central,
Southern Pacific and Amerada Corp.
A few issues here and there escaped
the fury and closed higher. including
Electric Power &, Light and Standard
Oil of New Jersey.
Leading commodities were mixed.
Wheat and corn were higher and COT
ton was lower. Bonds we're easy, as
were foreign exchanges.
In casting about for other reasons
than war fears for the decline, brokers
pointed out that the market had ap-
parently been looking for a good ex-
cuse to engage In a technical correc-
tive movement. Profit taking to pay
income taxes also was reported from
some sources.

Chicago Grain

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. March l2.-Huge ex-
port purchasing of Canadian wheat
for Europe led to flurried speculative
demand at times today in Chicago,
and to maximum gains of IA cents.
1t was estimated the Canadian gov
ernment today and yesterday had sold
a total of 1000 900 bushels of its
wheat holdings for shipment over
seas. Enlarged transatlantic takings
of wheat from Canada we're ascribed
mainly to uncertainties over chances
of untoward military developments
ahead.

Failure to Designate Electors
Perils Washington Democrats

expressly prohibited the printing OF
the names Of the presidential electors.
The act thereafter went on to instruct
the Secretary Of State to canvass the
vote for President and Vice President
the same way as are the votes for
Representatives.
The law reads: 1.-THE Secretary Of
State shall prepare three lists Of
names Of electors elected and afix
the seal Of the State to same. Such
lists shall be signed by the Governor
and Secretary Of State, and BY the
latter delivered to the college Of elec-
tors at the hour of their meeting"
There are no Democratic electors,
and the question arises how the Demo-
cratic vote, If Roosevelt should re-
ceive the majority, be officially counted
under provisions of Article XII OF the
Federal Constitution.
Since the primary election when the
Commonwealth Federation or left wing
Democrats were severely jolted by the
electorate, this organization Of radi-
Gals is rapidly disintegrating.
The effect of labor disturbances In
Seattle Is widespread. It is tending
to solidify conservative votes against
both the State and national admin
istration. -s
In the rural districts Of this State
there Is slow change of sentiment.
While 1t has not yet reached . point
where the Democratic vote is in the
minority, II the shift continues at the
same rate Of progress. it win mean
that in November the LAndon and
Roosevelt vote viii be equally divided.
Any vote Lenaks gets will aid LAndon.

SEATTLE, october 3.-Both major
parties have completed their campaign
organizations. Under the direct
primary law this is mandatory. The
Republicans retained State Chairman
j. N. Emerson and all other party
officials. The Democrats replaced
Postmaster George e. Starr, Seattle,
with Elwood Caples Of Vancouver.
Caples Is strong supporter of Gov.
Clarence d. Martin, thus shifting con-
troll Of the State Democratic organiza-
ton from the Federal to the State
brigade.
Meanwhile, the Union Party is slow
ly building strength in Eastern WASH
ington. As yet it is not the threat,
however, Democratic leaders fear 1t.
The vote Representative Lemke draws
in this State win come entirely from
the Roosevelt following Of recent
years.
Democratic leaders are also some
what up in the air over recent discov-
cry that at their Aberdeen State con-
vention they failed to nominate presi-
dental electors, hence the party has
no electors.
When this oversight was discovered
it started q study Of the State elec-
ton laws. Then it was found that
the left-wing element of the party
at the 1885 legislative session spon-
sored q measure providing for print
ing on the ballot the names OF the
candidates for President and Vice
President under each party label and

3.-Roosevelt is getting stronger in
Utah. With a lead of better than
2-to-1 in all advance tabulations,
straw votes and estimates available

Democratic President. Republican
leaders here seem to have no idea OF

In not being allowed to adopt the other

TAX FIGHT SPLITS
TEXAS DEMOCRATS
Special Legislative Session Studies
Cooperation on Social
Security.
BY s. RAYMOND BROOKS,

Special CORRESPONDENT OF Inc star.
AUSTIN, Tex, October 3.-The
Texas Legislature began a special ses-
sion this week designed to extend and
expand social security legislation by
adopting and financing measures CO.
operating with the Federal program.
An intense partisan fight. all within
the Democratic party, over the form of
taxes, was to occupy much of the 80
day session, but all groups in the
Legislature are competing to show the
greatest measure Of cooperation with
the present Federal administration
and its policies.
Gov. James v. Alfred submitted the
two subjects of raising additional. eight
to ten million dollars . year to pay
old-age pensions. and to create q
State unemployment insurance system,
so as to hold In Texas 90 per cent of
the estimated $4,000, 900 Federal pay
roll taxes becoming due this year.
Six or more of the prominent Texas
Democratic figures were on the stump
or otherwise engaged in the drive to
assure Democratic victory in the Ma
ton November 8.
Texas, threatened with being shorn
Of its tremendous. influence in the
Democratic national conventions, by
the recent abolition Of the two-thirds
nominating rule, and the restriction of
States delegations and votes to q
basis Of the vote in the general elec-
ton, is making determined effort to
get nearly all the 100000 July pri.
mary voters out in November.
A campaign for funds for use in
the national race has put many Texas
cities and counties considerably over
the quotas assessed them by national
headquarters. Texas democracy is
more enthusiastic than even in 1882,
for the Rooseyelt-G Garner team, and
will carry the State an estimated Is
to in November.

LIQUOR SHAKE-UP
FORCED BY C. 0..P.
West Virginia Commission
Head Accused Of Having
IS Kin on Rolls.
By ROBERT ii. HoRNER.
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, October 3.
West Virginia Republicans last week
continued concentrating their fire on
the State Democratic administration.
with telling effect, resulting in q
shake-up, ordered by Gov. H. q.
Kump, in the State Liquor Control
Commission.
Republicans say they are receiving
decidedly favorable reaction to the
charges they brought against Chair
man D. Homer Stephenson of the
liquor commission that he had Is
members Of his family on public pay
rolls receiving over 100000 q year in
salaries; that his own daughter, Mrs.
H. 8. Campbell. was selling liquor to
the commission while she used the
post ONCE mail box Of his private Sec
retary, Miss Theresa Egnor Gov.
Kump ordered an investigation. Miss
Egnor subsequently admitted her part
In the affair. yet declared that she
acted without the chairman's knowl-
edge.
Cleanup Order Issued.
Later. too, Miss Egnor resigned, and
others were suspended after Gov.
Kump issued Q general cleanup order,
even to directing the commission that
1t should purchase no more liquor from
firms that employed members Of the
Legislature or State employees as their
agents. Because Of this order, 1t Is
said. several liquor houses are due to
lose a considerable amount Of busi-
ness in West Virginia.
Meanwhile, Chairman Stephenson Is
Ill In q local hospital and Is maintain
ing silence.
The liquor charges which were
hurled by the Republican guberna-
torial candidate, Judge Summers H.
Sharp, Of Marlinton, overshadowed
all political discussions in the State
for 10 days and eclipsed the visit
to the State last week Of Republican
National Chairman John D. M. Ham
iton.

Hamlton's presence In the State
encouraged Republicans to greater
efforts.
State issues have ruled the activi-
ties Of both parties 20 far. Only two
nationally-known speakers have Wis
ited the State, though others are ex-
pected this month.

Florida is enjoying the liveliest CAM

Of campaigners been heard so far and
wide, Democratic, Republican, Social

the merits of their tickets.
In one campaign party, which Is

candidate for the United States Sem
ate. Democratic candidate for an
other Senate seat, Claude Pepper, Of
Tallahassee, is going the rounds.
H. c. Babcock, Republican candidate
for the Senate seat Of the late Park

Republicans In Duval County recently
that he favored immediate repeal Of
the reciprocal tariff program Of the

SWING TO LANDON
GROWING IN IDAHO
Shift Is Nearly Enough to
Make State Safe-Borah
Also Advances.
BY JAMES r. STOTTS.


BOISE, Idaho. October 3.-Follow-
ing Endorsement of Senator William
e. Borah by union labor Of the State
and addresses of leaders of the Union
party in which they thundered in
dorsement Of Idaho's Lone Wolf"
his chance for victory over Gov. c.
Ben Ross, Democrat, went up in the
opinion OF observers, who now esti-
mate his majority over Ross at 10000
votes.
Leaders of both parties concede the
election of Borah.
The States shift to Landon has also
assumed increased proportions the
past fortnight, and will have to in
crease but slightly to throw the State
into the column of those States safe
for him. Leaders of both parties claim
to have the State safely bagged, but
the more conservative hold that were
the election to be held now Roosevelt
would, perhaps, lead by majority Of
5000 to 1000 votes. However, it is
declared any increased momentum Of
the present trend will gravely menace
the New Deal. SO far as Idaho is
involved.
In a whirlwind campaign, Henry
Dovorshak, Republican congressional
nominee in the southern district, and
Frank Stephan, Twin Falls attorney
and Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nee, are picturing the defects Of the
New Deal program. particularly the
agricultural program and the recip-
rocal trade agreements.
The State sales tax, sponsored by
Gov. Ross, Is bitterly condemned by
farmers, regardless Of political afiilia-
tions. and; Is proving q boomerang to
Democratic leaders, who f1nd them
selves In the embarrassing position
Of having to defend it.
Reports from every section of the
State point to more cross voting than
ever before, many indicating their
purpose to vote for Roosevelt for Pres
ident and for Rorah for reelection.
The reelection Of Representative
White, Democrat, Of the. northern
district, is generally conceded.

South Dakota Republicans and Dem
ocrats are campaigning vigorously.
Republican leaders are confident
South Dakota will be restored to the
Republican column, from which 1t
departed in the Democratic landslide
Of 1882. They are making much Of
the candidacy Of Gov. Tom Berry,

tending that tradition sets a two-term
limit.
The relief vote remains the uncer.
tain quantity in the South Dakota
election. Republicans expect many
votes from persons in this class who
resent the large salaries of Demo-
cratic oficeholders. There also are
complaints in regard to the manner
In which relief work Is conducted.

c. c. C. REGISTRATIONS
DISPUTED IN DELAWARE
BY C. G.. GRAY,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

WILMINGTON, Del, October s.
The legality of registering Members
of the Civilian Conservation Corps
in Delaware Is grounds for dispute
between John Biggs, jr, chairman OF
the Democratic State Committee, and
Edward Megginson, ofdcial registrar,
third district to the tenth representa-
tive district, New Castle.
Among those seeking registration
to vote in Delaware November 8 are
20 members of the c. c. C. camp.
Coming here over year ago from
other States, they contend they are
eligible for the franchise in Dela-
ware.
Mr.. Megginson, supported by As
sistant Registrar Edward T. Weer Of
the same district, refused the 20 men
registration, on the grounds they are
not citizens Of Delaware in the light
Of the State registration laws; that it
is not the intention Of any G. G. c.
enrollee to take up permanent citi-
zenship, and that the men live in
barracks and are under military
dhcipline, which makes them ineligi-
bic under pelawars laws.

FOR NORTH DAKOTA
SunfIower Club Organization
Is Favored With Funds
of National Body.
BY KENNETH w. SIMONS,

BISMARCK, N. Oak, October g.
Three different organizations are ac-
tive for the Republicans in North
Dakota this year.
One, with headquarters at Fargo
has a direct liaison with the National
Committee and is intended to work
among the old-guard Republicans. 1t
is under State Senator Thomas
Whelan.
Another has headquarters in Bis
mark, under State Senator John K
Brostuen, who also is chairman OF
the G. o. P. State Central Commit
tee. This is the legally constituted
Republican set-up.
The ofi1ces in Fargo and Bismarck
work together.
The third group is the Landon-
Knox Sunfiower Club organization,
with ofiices in Bismarck, and works
independent of the other two Offices.
It appears to be the major organiza-
tion supporting the national ticket
and Is getting most Of the money
from the National Committee, while
the others complain In vain.
Apparently the National Commit
tee has been told that money given
the first two groups Is more likely to
be spent in behalf Of the State Re-
publican ticket than for the Landon-
Knox candidates., and they have no
desire to finance the State campaign.
The latter group has three sound
trucks working in the State, empha-
sizing the alleged disadvantages to
the farmer Of the Canadian reci.
procity treaty.
Lemke, never strong here as q presi.
dental candidate, Is being eclipsed

The bidding:
East South West North
I Club OD 1 Diamond ca Pass Pass
Double (3) Pass 90 Pass a. Pass
ID While Mr.. Burnstines hand
would usually be opened with one no
trump, he knew that South liked to
get into the bidding and wished to
give him a chance to do so.
ca South's overcall appears reason
ably sound.
(3) Mr.. Burnstine is well prepared
for any action his partner may take.
~ Mr.. Jacoby sees a chance for q
substantial penalty and hence leaves
the double in.
Mr.. Jacoby opened his singleton
club, Mr.. Burnstine won with the ace,
led his king Of hearts and then gave
Mr.. Jacoby q club ruff. Mr.. Jacoby
played the ace and another heart, Mr..
Burnstine winning with the queen and
giving Mr.. Jacoby q second ruff. Mr..
Jacoby now led low spade to his
partners ace for the seventh trick,
bringing declarer down to nothing but
Tumps. Now Mr.. Burnstine played
the fourth club. declarer ruffed with
the nine and Mr.. Jacoby overruffed
with the ten and led another spade.
Declarer trumped and now laid down
the ace Of diamonds. Since Mr.. Burn
stine held the king and one trump.
declarer still had to lose another trick
and accordingly was down 800.
OF course, Messrs. Burnstine and
Jacoby might conceivably have bid and
made four spades, but it was much
safer and far more profitable to take
the soo-point penalty.
QUESTION: What is the correct
" opening bid with the following
hand?
Spadss-A XIX
Hearts-x
Diamonds-K 10 XXX
Clubs-A OK
Answer: In accordance with the
principle Of anticipation. your correct
opening bid Is one diamond, that is,
with three four-card biddable suits,
bid the one below the singleton. Now
If your partner bids heart, you simply
bid q spade. If he responds in spades
or clubs, you raise his suit, or If he re-
spends with no-trump, you bid two
clubs.

ROOSEVELT HOLDS
LEAD IN OKLAHOMA
Republicans Fail to Develop
Issues in the Minds of
Average Voters.
BY OTIS SULLIVANT,

Special Correspondent Of The Star
OKLAHOMA CITY, October s.
The general election campaign in Ok
lahoma entered It's last month with
out evidence of material shift In
sentiment from President Roosevelt.
The State Is safely in his column.
The issue has been President Roose-
welt and the New Deal. It is largely
q question Of whether the voter Is
for the President and his program
or for the President regardless Of the
New Deal.
The Republican campaign thus far
has not developed the issues in the
minds OF the average voters, If the
opinion Of most State observers may
be relied upon.
There is dissatisfaction in the
ranks of the Democrats but no
open split of leaders. Despite bit
ter primary election, none Of the
leaders have bolted the Democratic
ticket.
However. many regular Democrats
are bitterly opposed to the New Deal.
The inroads the Republicans will
make depend upon whether they will
remain regular or 60 far enough to
vote for Gov. ALI M. Landon Of
Kansas.
