the total vote in the rural counties.
In Iowa in 1882, the rural areas
shifted from a 60-per-cent Republican
vote to 60-per-cent Democratic vote.
To put it another way, the Democrats
started with q base Of 20 per cent
and added 20 per cent to their totals.
A shift Of 10 per cent from four years
ago, therefore, would make the race
even. There Is reason to believe that
q considerable shift has occurred, but
the puzzle revolves around the size
Of that shift.
Gov. Landon had the edge today
because of the impressive speeches
he has made in the State. Whether
he will retain that advantage de-
pends to some extent on how he
tackles issues other than the agrt-
cultural problem and what effect his
campaign nationally has In the next
couple weeks in persuading the Re-
publcans to 60 back to their party.
For while Iowa u basically an agri-
cultural State, 1t Is also interested
in whether the constitutional integrity
Of the American form Of Government
Is to be maintained, as well - its
financial solvency.

to republicanism q bit more strongly
than appears at present, or If the
Lemke vote in the cities should take
away from the Roosevelt strength,
this State would most certainly be
found In the Republican electoral
column.
The supposition that the Lemke
ticket will subtract votes from the
Democrats rather than the Republi-
cans Is based on the way the La
Toilette Progressive ticket forced the
Democrats into third place in this
State In 1924. The so-called radical
vote, Of course, Is to be distinguished
from the Progressive vote, but, in
Iowa, the Landon complexion Is pro-
gressive without being radical.
Parity In Objectives Established.
The Kansas Governor has made a
pleasing impression here by his visit.
His speech revealed to the farmers
Of Iowa that they have, in the Repub-
estly anxious to aid agriculture as Is
Mr.. Roosevelt. In fact, the Landon
speeches have just about eliminated
the details of the agricultural con-
troversy and placed both nominees on
. parity ~ desiring the same OBJ
jectives.
With the agricultural bounty issue
neutralized, the Republicans expect
to make gains. They believe that,
when all other things are equal, the
farmers of the State will vote accord
ing to other issues that appeal to
them. particularly the inroads made
by the Canadian reciprocity treaty
In other words, the tariff.
The situation has hardly crystal.
lized as yet, Notwithstanding the ac-
tive campaign that has been made
by both sides. The Forthcoming
speeches by former Gov. Lowden of
Illinois are awaited with much inter-
est. Lowden has big following
among Iowa farmers. He Is believed
to be the man on whom Gov. Landon
Is leaning most heavily for advice on
the farm problem. ?,
Polls Confuse Picture.
The closeness Of the contest in
Iowa IS not borne out by the polls,
10 many Of which give Mr.. Landon
. decided lead. But while polls are a
subject Of much discussion, hardly any
!, Of them has included as yet q large
enough cross-section Of Iowa to be
conclusive.
One thing is certain, Landon is
much stronger in Iowa than was
Hoover four years ago. Likewise, the
Roosevelt administration has come in
for great deal of criticism because Of
its spending policy, which means that
there has been much talk about the
waste Of public funds. Even farmers
who have received A. A. A. benefits
are reported to have developed doubts
as to the wisdom Of the policy,
especially because Of the irksome regu-
latory processes that accompanied the
scheme.
On the whole, Iowa may be re-
garded as q pivotal State, in fact, Is
much as any other In the Middle
West because, this year, as goes Iowa,
20 goes Minnesota and South Dakota
and Southern Illinois. This agrt-
cultural belt has never been devoid Of
Democrats, even in 1920 and 1924 and
1928, but the balance of power is held

Justice Jennings Bailey is eX-
pected, within the next few days,
to sign a formal order for a writ
of mandamus to compel Superin-
tendent Of Schools DR.. Frank w.

a Clarendon (Va.) girl in the
public schools of the District.
The court action became immt-
nent today when Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Vernon E. West
filed his amended answer to the
suit of John S. Kemp WPA Off
cial, in which he seeks to compel
the enrolment Of his daughter,
Lois. Justice Bailey, earlier in
the week, declared he would issue
the writ of mandamus. but with
held action until the District gov
eminent filed an amended answer.
Mr.. West informed Justice
Bailey at the time that the new
answer would not have the effec1
of changing the courts opinion,
but said that he wished the record
to include certain figures relating
to congestion in the school system
in order that the Appellate Court,
which will be asked to review the

Gap Cited in Present
Concealed Weapon
Regulations

A determined effort to plug what
is described as "a glaring gap" in
the local regulations governing the
use of firearms was launched to-
day by Assistant United States At
torney David A. Hart, who sub
mitted for the consideration of
District Attorney Leslie C. Garrett
a written recommendation thai
the present law dealing with the
carriers of concealed weapons be
amended to include those weapons
carried openly.
Attorney Hart, who is attached
to the police court staff, was vocif-
erous in his condemnation of the
current law which, he says, leaves
his office powerless to convict a
person of carrying a dangerous
weapon unless the instrument is
concealed.
Calls 1t Ridiculous
Commenting on his proposed
amendment, Attorney Hart de-
clared:
"The law under which we
prosecute these cases was ap-
proved July 8, 1882, and as it
stands, is utterly ridiculous. 1t
is so wOrded that proof must be
presented that the weapon was
concealed on or about the de-
PENDANTS person. In most cases,
this is impossible because the ar
resting officer is first attracted
by the actual display of the
weapon"
Attorney Hart would have in
in the act the words,
"or carry openly with intent to
unlawfully use," which, he said,
