The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-05-26

Charles Alvin Jones, Pittsburgh law
yer, captured the gubernatorial
nomination, beating Thomas Ken
nedy, secretary-treasurer of the
United Mine Workers of America,
who was on the Duffey-Lewis ticket.
Jim Farley, national committee
chairman, had projected himself in
to the hot fight by advising the
compromise choice of Earle and
Kennedy, but the governor indig-
nantly told him it was none of his
business, and the voters gave him
a swat on the head by rejecting
his advice.
Republicans were elated because
the returns showed a ground swell
back toward C. o. P. conservatism.
The Republican total vote exceed
ed the Democratic vote, and this
fact, together with the graft and
bribery charges that enlivened the
campaign of the Democrats, led the
Republican leaders to hope the Key
stone state would return to the Re-
publican fold in November.
Judge Arthur James won a smash
ing victory over Clifford Pinchot,
twice governor, for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination, and this
was another swat at John L. Lewis,
for he was reported ready to back
Pinchot if Kennedy lost. Senator
James j. Davis was renominated
by heavy majority.
Both Senator Guffey and Lewis
appear to have lost their claims to
political leadership. Lewis had
boosted that he, controlled 300, 600
G. I. o. votes in Pennsylvania, but
the best he could do was 1000.
Earle, though he came out on top,
was considered to have lost prestige
greatly by the accusations of mis-
rule made against his administra-
ton. His presidential aspirations
were believed wrecked.
The c. 1. o. has lost other polit.
ical fights, but none so important
as this. President William Green
of the American Federation of La
Dor called the vote complete ere
pudiation of the c. I. o. leader
ship" He added:
sit now has become abundantly
clear that no candidate who bears
the c. I. o. brand can be elected to
high Office in this country. The
primaries proved the c. I. o. is q
political liability, not political
power"

MINE persons were killed in the

the pilot to save a few minutes by

There are two ways to discover
the trouble makers. One is to
learn by experience, either by
keeping a record of the foods eat
en- and noting the appearance of
symptoms, or by eliminating from
the diet. first one and then another
of the foods that are suspected of
causing difficulty. The other is to
let your doctor conduct simple
skin tests. Small scratches are
made on the arms and legs. and
each scratch touched with solu-
ton made of the protein of food
or substance known to cause Crou-

substance, the skin around the

to give the scalloped effect shown.

AN EDITOR-AUTHOR

He was born in Philadelphia

HereditY q Factor

A tendency to allergy seems to
be inherited. But the substances
which caused a disturbance differ
with each individual, and the type
of reaction also differs. For exam
pie, mother may be allergic to
milk; her child inheriting the tend
ency may be allergic to fish.
Drinking milk may give the
mother an attack of asthma; eat
ing fish may cause the child to
break out with hives.
