BEAUTY STANDARD
UPSET BY DECREE
Cry ASSOC lated Prexs)

NANKING, May 18.-Admirers
of old fashioned feminine beauty
in the interior province of Honan
must change their ideas on what
is winsome and attractive, for the
authorities have started a cam
paign against "lily feet" and long
hair.
The cruel practice of binding
little girls feet so that they would
resemble the lotus lily in bud has
been illegal for years, but in the
interior girls still are deformed to
meet traditional standards o.
grace.
Shingled hair for little girls and
shoulder length hobs for young
ladies is another order of the new
day in a land where long braids or
coiled tresses once were marks of
gentility.

Death OF Park TraIlmell Changes
Complex OF Campaign Situation
(By Associated Press)

TALLAHASSEE. Fla. May IS.
Death of Senator Park Tram
nell in the second year o. his six
year term at Washington has
changed the complexion Of Flor
ida's campaign situation.
Personalities in the scramble to
succeed him have drawn the politi-
cal spotlight away from the races
for governor and other majol
state offices in the regular Demo
cratic nomination primaries next
month.
Adding to the interest is the
confusion about the method to be
followed in nominating a Demo
cratic candidate to go before the
voters in the November general
election contest with a Republican
nominee for Trammell's unex-
pired term.
It's a question on which law
yers. party officials and candi.
dates themselves are in disagree.
ment. Some say the Democratic
executive committee may call {
special nominating primary while
others say such a primary would
be nothing more than a "strav
vote" and that actual nomination
, must be made by the committee
| The winner in a special primary
| could be certified as the commit
tees choice.
Regarding Appointment
Meanwhile, Governor Sholtz
himself a candidate for Trammel',
post, has NOT appointed a senator
to serve until the November cleo
ton. There were indications The
appointment would be made mex
week. Hundreds of kilograms en-
dorsing a number of persons fol
the appointment have been re
ceived.
Adding to the senatorial specu
lation is the disagreement owe
which Democratic executive com
mittee has authority to act in Sc
lecting the pary's senatorial can
| didate.
Some candidates want Chair
man j. B. Hodges to call the pres
ent committee and provide for ;
special nominating primary to b.
held with the regular primaries il
June. Hodges has announced hC
would call a committee meeting
for June 30-after the primarie

to consider whether a senatorial
primary is to be called.
Terms of present members of
the executive committee will ex
pire with the first primary June 2,
when a committee to serve for the
next two years will be chosen
The meeting Chairman Hodges
proposes to call would bring the
new committee together for its
first meeting. Many OF the present
committee members are seeking
reelection. including Chairman
Hodges, who has endorsed a spe-
cial senatorial primary.

nation contest are c. O. Andrews

senate in 1916 while he was serv-
ing a term as governor.

G. 0. P. Liberal Trend Seen
Behind Selection Of Keynoter
Choosing of Sesator Stew
er Is Looked Upon AS
Something More Til a n
Political Routine
By BYRON PRICE

y - MIN ) ME-
Chief OF bureau. The Associate
Press Washington
Big-time politics sees two rea-
sons why Senator Steiwer's desig.
nation as Republican keynoter at
Cleveland must be classed as some.
thing more than routine politica
news.
One is the fact that the eastern
conservative lie a ders who con.
trolled the selection have extend.
ed this recognition to a far west.
erner who made his reputation as
a liberal, and who has voted in the
senate for several OF the principal
policies of the New Deal.
The other is the circumstance
that Senator Steiwer often is
spoken of backstage as a possible
presidential nominee. in case of a
deadlock, and the keynote Job
puts him in the best possible spot
to exhibit whatever abilities he
has to the delegates.
Ordinarily there is no great in
terest in keynoters. 1t is customary
to submit the keynote address to
all party factions in advance and
edit it until it gives offense to
none. When Warren G. Harding
was the speaker at Chicago in
1916, the original draft of his
speech returned to him with so
ma, many blpepencil marks that he
hardly recognized it.
The Democratic selection of
keynoter for Philadelphia has been
largely a matter OF form. since
everybody knows what the speech
will be about. 1t is different at
Cleveland.
Want Western Votes
Whatever editing Senatol
Steiwer's remarks may undergo
their final form hardly can be ex.
pected to express that ultra-con-
sentative condemnation OF the en-.
tire Roosevelt regime which many
fasteners would like to hear.
Such a speeaa, coming from thi;
particular senator, would be en-
tirely too vulnerable when laiC
alongside his record. Even if Sen.
ator Steiwer consented to stultifN
himself. wise party manager.
never would take such a risk fol
a moment. The unacceptable logic
is that he was chosen, instead, be
cause he could and would make ;
direct appeal to western liberia
sentiment.
There was a time when no sucl
concession was expected, when i
appeared that the Republican higl
command was preparing to gC
straight down the line OF con
servatism, and let the western
wing of the party take the pro
gram or leave it. What caused thu
change?
Echo answers. but the prOXimit!
of events sometimes is significant
Certainly it is possible that thu
hundreds of thousands OF Repub
lican votes cast in recent pri
maries for William f. Borah hav,
made themselves heard by tn,
wise old eastern politicians who's
ardent desire is, after all. to vii
the election.
Leaders Like Steiwer
The situation regarding Senate
Steiwer's presidential prospects
while still nebulous. is somewha
further advanced than the publ
has been told.
Several weeks ago he made
little advertised speech in NeI
York. Among his hearers wer
several important eastern leaders
who liked his looks. Thereafter h
was trotted out as keynoter at
number of Republican state con
ventions. There is no questio
now that he has influentia
friends who believe he might b
the ideal answer to a deadlock.
