speaking four, five and even six times
a day. Interest in the campaign was
keen and, generally speaking, the
crowds were good. In the hottest
part of the day and in some of the
smaller communities, however, the
gatherings were almost pathetically
small. Regardless of the turn out,
Blanton would deliver his customary
long, impassioned address. 1t Is re-
markable tribute to his physical con-
dition that he was able to stand the
strain. Many "a younger man would
have been unable to follow him
through one days crowded program.
Obtained Patman's Aid.
There were interesting sidelights on
the contest, but they had little bearing
on the result Blanton had made
much Of his membership on the Ap-
preparations Committee and how only
his seniority in Congress made that
possible. His opposents retorted by
publishing the fact that Zioncheck, a
second term member, was likewise on
the Appropriations Committee. The
Associated Press enormously stated
that Blanton had voted against the
bonus, an error that was promptly cor
rected and undoubtedly misled no one,
but Blanton Immediately seized on it.
Not only did he talk of it himself, he
had Wright Patman, the author of the
Evening star., 1936-08-23

bonus payment bills, come into the
district and speak for him. 1t is doubt
ed, however, II Patman changed many
votes, for the veterans could not be
aroused over an issue which was al
ready settled and over which there
was no dispute in this contest. Blan-
ton charged that the utilities were try
ing to defeat him because Of his sup
port Of the Rayburn-W Wheeler bill, and
tried to make 1t an issue in the CAM
paign, but when Representative Ray
burn himself swept through to one
sided victory in the first primary citi-
zens general took little stock in the
charge.
What Of the man who will succeed
Blanton? Washington newspaper
readers will probably never become as
familiar with him as they are with
Blanton, for he Is a quiet, incon-
spicuous man, who will probably fill
his job without much fanfare. His
home is in Eastland, the opposite end
of the district from that of Blanton.
where he served a number of years as
county clerk, and six years ago was
elected county judge. He has been
president of the Texas County Judge
Association and long active in behalf

tions for highway construction. Judge

greSsman's shortcomings; they have
been kept busy denying and explain
ing the charges he has hurled against
them.
The other time Blanton changed
his style of fighting was in 1923 when
he unsucceSsfully sought the Senate
seat then held by Earl B. Mayfield.
Mayheld was opposed by Tom Con-
nally, who like Blanton, was then a
member of the House, Alvin Owsley,
the present Minister to the Irish Free
State; Blanton, and several lesser op-
ponents. Instead of attacking May
field, Blanton made no mention of
him and travelled over Texas talking
only of his own virtues and qualifi-
cations. His candidacy attracted lit
tie interest in the race, and Connally
ran far ahead Of him to enter a run
of primary with Mayfield and subse-
quently defeat him. Blanton would
have thus been eliminated from the
House and even had he staged come
back he would have been deprived of
his seniority there had 1t not been
for the death of Congressman R. @.
Lee, who succeeded him. Blanton ran
against Lees widow and successfully
regained his old seat in the House
without missing service in consecu-
tive Congresses.
Resumed Old Tactics.
In the present campaign, Blanton
likewise tried to run on his own
merits. When he returned from
Washington this Summer he started
vigorous and intensive campaign In
few weeks he mace a total of 70
speeches, often speaking three and
four times day. Judge Garrett had
been campaigning for some time but
Blanton did not mention him nor
Fred Jaye, the third candidate in
the first primary. Following the sur
prise Of trailing Judge Garrett in
the first contest when Jaye was elm
mated, Blanton Immediately switched
back to his old style of fight, but it
was too late. The first week of his
run-off campaign he exhibited docu-
ments purporting to show that Judge
Garrett had been delinquent in the
payment Of taxes in his home city
of Eastland and from then until the
election Blanton made much of the
matter. 1t was the old-time type of
Blanton campaign thunder. but some
how it had lost its effectiveness.
To fully understand the Blanton
defeat 1t is necessary to know some
thing of the Texas political picture.
Although Blanton has represented the
same district in Congress for nearly
two decades he has by no means
represented the same territory. When
he was first elected, the district
stretched all the way to Ell Paso, on
the Mexican border, approximately
400 miles from here. Blanton's terri
tory embraced nearly all of the
sparsely-settled ranch country Of
West Texas and contained 50 large
counties. 1t was an area considerably
larger than all of New England. The
rapid growth of the western part Of
Texas, partly the result of oil de-
velopment in this section, has caused
the congressional districts to be cut
into smaller and smaller areas Each
redistricting has not merely cut off
some counties, but the entire con-
gressional map has been reshaped.
Some counties were added while others
were cut of each particular district.

the red rider to the District appro-
priation bill which he sponsored. His
action in that matter received some
attention and some publicity in the
campaign, but the net effect on the
vote must have been negligible.
The District situation received more
attention, mainly because both Blan-
ton and the speakers in his behalf
used it as a campaign argument for
him. The Garrett forces, however,
apparently paid little attention to it.,
and the bald truth is that the finances
of the District of Columbia are of little
interest to the people of Texas and 1t
is difficult to arouse them to any
extent by political speeches on the
subject. It must be said, too, that the
whole topic, complex as it naturally is,
does not lend itself well to campaign
Thunder. Many of the speakers for
eBlanton had little conception of the
matter and their attempts to build
np sympathy for their candidate by
playing upon his fight on the wealthy
Washington tax dodgers" had little
effect because of the fog that en-
veloped the subject as they attempted
to crate upon it.
S25,000 Slush Fund Charged.
Early in the run-off campaign, the
'Blanton forces charged that a slush
fund of $25,000 had been sent from
Washington to defeat the Representa-
tive and in various forms this charge
was repeated throughout the district.
1t made little impression. It is difficult
to estimate the amount of money
spent in the campaign, but undoubt-

MICHIGAN INSISTS
. .EFF|NCER Be HELD
Demands Ohio Police Detain
: Man Described as Cult
Leader.
Sy the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press
DETROIT, August 22.-Michigan
authorities demanded tonight that
Lima, Ohio, police detain Virgil F..
(Bert) Effinger. indicted with Il
others on criminal syndicalism
charges in an alleged Black Legion
plot to seize the Federal Government,
pending a hearing on two warrants
for his extradition.
Guy M. Jensen, assistant States at
torney general said he would go
through Lima Sunday en- route to
Columbus and urge police there to
lock Effinger up until Gov. Martin l..
Davey acts on the Michigan requisi-
tions for him. Jensen said he expect
ed to see Gov. Davey Monday morn
ang.
Efinger, an electrical contractor
who was once an unsuccessful can
didate for sheriff in Lima, was de-
scribed in the affidavit on which the
syndicalism charge was based as the
irrational commander" of the terror
istic band of night riders and as the
leader in proposed armed uprising to
seize arsenals and Federal buildings.
Police Chief Declines to Act.
"Chief of Police Ward Taylor OF
Lima called us this morning and said
he was declining to hold Effnger until
we filed certain affldavits with him, y
Chester P. O'Hara, an assistant at
torney general, said today.
He now has two sets of eXtradition
papers, with affidavitS attached,
charging Efhnger with criminal syn
dicalism and also with possessing six
hand grenades during Black Legion
meeting here in 1885. I don't know
what more he could want and I re-
gard his handling of the case as very
unusual. Jensen may be able to get
the matter Strengthened out Sunday,
however"
Taylor said in Lima that his re-
fusal to arrest Effinger was in ac-
cordance with advice given him by
City Solicitor Charles w. Long, who
said the warrant was not valid.
I'VE will arrest him when we get
4 proper warrant" Taylor said.
Efinger, reiterating his intention to
fight extradition, asserted he would be
there when the Michigan authorities
came after him. The contractor, who
parried a direct question several
weeks ago as to whether he was a
Black Legion commander by asking,
What if I amp" has called the
charges against him nonsense.
Never Heard" of Dean.
II never heard of this fellow Dean
dayton Dean, Black Legion "execu-
TONER" upon whose afidavits the
charges against Ef1inger are partially
based) until all this stuff came out
in the papers" Efinger said. He has
retained as his attorney, Clarence
Miller, who defended members of the
Dillinger gang at Lima.
State and city policemen and sher-
ifs deputies continued today to bring
in some of those named in the synai-
calism indictment, which was returned
Friday by the State grand jury inves-
tigating the Black Legion. Nine of
the % defendants, including Eflnger,
still are at large. The 13 held prob
ably will be arraigned Monday, when
additional indictments are expected
Several of those indicted already
were held for trial in other crimes at
tributed to the Black Legion, and most
of the others had been questioned
during the investigations which were
set in motion by the terrorists' "execu-
ton" of Charles A. Poole last May IL.

ing of the Townsend organization,
and, although after his defeat strong
efforts were made to get Judge Garrett
to commit himself to the plan. he con-
sistently refused to do so, merely
stating that he favored adequate old
age pensions" He undoubtedly re-
ceived most of the Townsend vote,
but his unwillingness to indorse the
plan in the campaign would indicate
that he will not support it.
Opinion here seems to be that Blan-
ton will retire to his law practice and
not seek Office again. although there
are those who say that he undoubtedly
will try to make comeback. He and
his son maintain law Offices here and
have an excellent practice.

TOBACCO Up STALK
GOES INTO CURING
Growers Work Fast to Har-
vest Crop Before 1t Is
Damaged

Tobacco leaves well up the stalk
are now being cut TO, curing by
growers, and it is thought that cur
ing is about half completed over the
county as a whole. Growers are rush
ing the work to get as much of it as
possible over before damage occurs.
While the crop remaining in the
fields is apparently not damaging,
and rains are not particularly need
ed, at the same time a continuation
of unusually hot, dry weather might
have a deteriorating effect, and it is
to guard against this eventuality that
efforts are being made to house as
much of the leaf as possible as rapid
ly as it can be properly cured.
According to the growers, the weed
is curing out a quality that is better
than fair and much better than at
one time appeared possible
Indications now are that the crop
in it's entirety will be completely cur
ed and much of t ready for the auc-
ton floors by the time the season
opens in the Middle Belt on Tuesday,
September %.
The Henderson market anticipates
a much better season than last years
both as to volume and price While
the yield is shorter, increased volume
is looked for from the coming here
of growers from other sections who
will market a larger percentage of
their crop on this market than here

and heartiest laughs, HE yourself
down to the Vance Theatre-but
pronto!
For upon it's screen unreeled "Red

opportunity to doff the familiar gar
ments of tragedy as a pretty, modern
coed blessed with a quick tongue, a
venturesOme spirit and a rollicking
sense of fun.
Barbara proves herself an admir-
able coincidence and Robert Young
is swell as the holidaying private who
gets himself into the most unexpected
jams because he's such an obliging
soul. The uke-strumming Edwards
and Ruth Donnelly make a grand new
comedy team, and Hardie Albright
as the agitator. Gordon Jones, who
made an suspicious hit in LET EN-
Have it" and Paul Stanton also lend
admirable support.

The European neutrality pact, he
asserted, will hurt Socialist Spain
rather than help it, because, he said,
Germany, Italy and Portugal will
sign the pact and go on supplying
arms to the Fascists rebels.
With Great Britain and France ap-
pealing jointly for non-intervention to
countries which have not yet placed

she herself insisted upon.

CROP MEASURING
is NOT COMPLETE
Workers Still Active; Field
Workers Visiting Farms
of Growers

Measurement of crops for compli-
ance under the soil conservation pro-
gram of the Federal government is
still in progress in this county. but
will probably be completed in few
more days or a week or so, J. w.
Sanders, county farm agent, director
of crop regulations for the COUNTY
said today.
A large field force has been at
work for several weeks and all parts
of the county have been visited. It
has been a big task, and extra help
ers were employed to assist county
committeeman in measuring acreages
to determine the compliance of grow
ers under the work sheets they signed
and to gather data as a basis to de-
Nermine the growers qualifications
for benefit payments by the govern
ment. A great mass of detailed infor-
nation has been necessary.
Mr.. Sanders said recently that a.
round 70 percent of the growers in
this county were cooperating in the
program and were reducing tobacco
and cotton by planting portions of
their farms to soil improvement crops
rather than actual cash money crops.
Vance was one of the counties in
the forefront in the AAA crop control
movement and cooperation of farmers
here was well-nigh universal under
that program. The soil conservation
plan has no compulsory features. 1t is
entirely voluntary from start to fin
ish, and even after work sheets were
taken there was no force behind the
grower. But he must comply if he is
to obtain benefits. Present activities
are for that purpose. Those who will
eventually share will not receive
checks before after harvest of their
1886 crops.
