PURGE DEFEAT
TAKEN CALMLY
BY ROOSEVELT.
Fight to Continue in
Spite of Rebuff
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

G.N.SO Defeated apparently
on two primary election fronts-in
South Carolina and California
President Roosevelt accepted the
situation philosophically today,
and proceeded with plans for fur
ther "purging" Of those Demo
cratic dissidents who have ham
strung portions Of the New Deal.
Mr.. Roosevelt's only comment
on the South Carolina victory of
Senator E. D. Cotton Ed" Smith,
whom he had hoped to eliminate
in yesterdays Democratic pri-
mary, was this:
"It is often true that it takes
a long, long time to bring the
past up to the present"
SILENT ON McADOO
Concerning the apparent defeat
of Senator William Gibbs McAdoo
in California, for whom Mr.. Roose-
velt did more political campaign
ing than for any other candidate
in this years primaries, there was
no comment. The California re-
suit was not considefed final
enough to warrant comment, al
though McAdoo is trailing far be-
hind Sheridan Downey, the old
age pension enthusiast.
Mr.. Roosevelt's comment on the
South Carolina out come was
handed to newspapermen by one
of his secretaries, Stephen Early.
At his press conference yeSter-
day, the President said he already
had his comment prepared on
South Carolina, irrespective OF
whether Smith or his opponent,
Governor Olin D. Johnston, was
nominated.
When the presidential secre-
tariat visited the Presidents bed
room today for the usual morn
ing conference, Mr.. Roosevelt
opened a drawer Of a desk and
took therefrom a sealed envelope.
He broke the seal to extract the
above quoted sentence, which
would have been applicable in the
case of either Smith or John
ston victory:
"It is often true that it takes
a long, long time to bring the
past up to the present"
SMITH VICTORY EXPECTED
The President also observed,
Early said, that he privately had
conceded Smiths denomination by
40 900 votes, instead of the ap-
proximately $4,000 by which he
won.
The Presidents brief comment
was in keeping with his statement
of last Monday. when he said the
voters of South Carolina had q
clearcut choice between Smith,
whom, he described as looking
backward" and Johnston, the
youngish New Deal governor, who,
he thought, was looking at 1888,
1948, and even 1858.
From the outset, the White
House had little real confidence in
defeating the veteran Smith, 7S
years old, 80 years in the Senate,
and solidly entrenched with the
Democrats of his State. Neverthe-
less, "to keep the record clear"
Mr.. Roosevelt sought his scalp be-
cause of Smiths conservative anti
New Deal record. About the only
satisfaction he got from it was
that Smith didn't win by as much
as the President thought he would.

U. S. JUDGESHIP
| U R E OFFERED.
COLDS BOROUGH.
Post Would Be Reward
For Aiding Lewis

Behind curtain Of official
silence, a Federal judgeship in
the District of Columbia was being
dangled before the eyes of Repre-
sentative T. Alan Goldsborough,
of Maryland's Eastern Shore con-
gressional district, today as an
inducement to him to turn the
nine shore counties in for Little
Davey" Lewis.
Whether it was discussed yeSter-
day at Mr.. Goldsborough's con-
ference with President Roosevelt
there was no one to say. but the
story had this much visible foun-
dation to support it:
/. President Roosevelt said at
his press conference yesterday he
thought he knew where GoldSbor-
ough stood in the TydingsLewls
fight. An he smiled as he said it.
FOE OF TYDINGS
2. Despite public declarations
of neutrality in the senatorial bat
tie, the Eastern Shore Congress
man, long a political foe Of
Tydings, is known to be working
actively and aggressively to swing
the Shore counties to Lewis.
3. It is we'll known among politi-
cal insiders in Maryland that he
has been after a judgeship, prefer
ably in the U. S. District Court or
Court of Appeals in the District,
for several monthS-Since before
the senatorial storm blew up-and
that he was sponsored for such a
post by Senator George L. Rad
cliffe, Democratic national COM
mitteeman for Maryland and head
Of the State organization.
MAY EXPECT REWARD
These circumstances, plus the
Presidents acceptance of Colds
borough's invitation to be his
guest and make his Labor Day
speech in Denton, Caroline
county, Goldsborough's home, per-
NIT clear conclusion that if the
Eastern Shore should be carried
by Lewis on September IL, with
his aid, he may reasonably ex-
pect to be rewarded in ac-
cordance with his ambition.
: There is further authority for
:the story in the fact that some OF
sthe Eastern Shore county leaders
have been restless for some time
sover the congressional situation
there, feeling that 20 years in
Congress -GoldSborough's record
lis long enough, and that others
Ought to have a chance at it.
When they agreed to support him
for reelection this year, without
opposition, it is said to have been
with a definite understanding
that he will not be a candidate
to succeed himself in Congress.
EYED SENATE SEAT
It was his knowledge Of the
county organizations feeling on
this subject which, added to his
own political antipathy for Sen
.ator Tydings, led him seriously to-
consider earlier in the year run
ming for Tydings' seat in the Sen
ate.
The judgeship story was all over
the Shore today, having been
broken by Senators Tydings and
Radcliffe in the rather obvious
hope that it would weaken Colds
borough's efforts to swing the
Shore for Lewis. It was fed out
privately at first, and then pub
lcly, getting into print today.
Tydings managers also are say
ing privately that the Eastern
Shore representative has no "de-
livery power" in his district. The
judgeship deal, if it is a deal, is
part of the explanation. The rest
Of 1t is the supposed desire Of the
county leaders to send someone
else to Congress.

ment and personnel
They also were directed to suggest
the number and locations of the sta
tions and whether the inspection units
should be placed on District land or
on rented sites. Oficials said $l5O000
would be the limit of cost.
Under the law all automobiles Ii
censed in the District are to be tested
once a year and Government vehicles
twice = year Oficials suggested pri-
vate car tests probably would be given

ance Of 1889 automobile tags

ele owners will be 81 for this year
and thereafter so cents q year. There
Is no charge for testing Government

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Aug. 1o.-Re-
form Candidate Charles Sawyer was
virtually assured Of the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination today over
c. I. c. o.-baiting Gov. Martin L. Davey.
Reliable election observers indicated
that Mr.. aAwyer's margin might run
as much - 10000.
After holding . comfortable lead
Mr.. Sawyer saw 1t slowly dwindle as
Gov. Davey received heavy support
from rural counties. but late returns
from Cleveland and Summit County
(Akron) put the former Lieutenant
Governor back into the lead.
For q few hours shortly before noon.
as the returns trickled in from slow
reporting precincts, the lead bounced
back and forth. At one time Gov.
Davey went ahead on the basis Of un-
official returns by nearly 5000 votes.
However. Mr.. Davey, when almost
complete returns today showed him
losing the Democratic nomination
for Governor by approximately
1900 votes, said he was sending the
following message to Mr. Sawyer:
"You have apparently won the
Democratic nomination for Governor
and I congratulate you"
Earlier the Governor had refused
to concede defeat and said: ITS been
a tight one, hasn't 1t? It's mighty
funny that whenever the vote favors
me they are able to drag votes for
my opponents out Of Cuyahoga

Commodity price changes were

slightly outnumbering declines. The
result was an advance in the weekly

1872 in the preceding week. A month
ago the index stood at 1873 and a
year ago at 1877, based on the 1926

Last weeks rise in the all-com-
modify index was largely due to
higher prices for foodstuffs. with
the food group average advancing
to the highest point reached since
early September. In the farm prod
uct group fractional drop in cotton
prices was more than Offset by rising
quotations for grains.
A small decline in the index for
livestock and livestock products was
due to lower poultry prices; reliable
livestock quotations were not avail
able because of the stockyard strike

The only significant decline in any

week was in the index representing
the prices of miscellaneous COM
modities, which fell off as result of
declining prices for hides, cattle
feed and book paper.
