have nominated John Moses for
Governor.
Nyes defeat of LANCER in the pri-
mary was tribute to the hold which
the Senator has on the voters in North
Dakota. He has been a member of
the Senate for l3 years. and has
played important roles. particularly as
a Senate investigator and as a propo-
nent of neutrality legislation.
Charges Nye Neglects State.
Because of the attention Nye has
given to international and national
affairs. LANCER accuses Nye Of failing
to represent North Dakota.
Look at the price of wheat today. 80
cents or less" LANCER said to me. "Nye
has been in Washington for l3 years
and has done nothing to help the
North Dakota farmers" LANCER also
argues that Nye has not been able to
get as much Federal aid for the State
as he, LANCER, could because of Nye's
fight against the New Deal admins
tration on several issues.
But LANCER was making little head
way with these issues. With a versa
tility for which he is rather famous in
North Dakota, Gov. LANCER went out
and grabbed the old-age pension issue,
declaring himself for minimum $40
a-month pension to the aged. He had
the plan placed on the ballot, through
the initiative and referendum law of
the State, and 1t will be voted up or
down in the November election. At the
same time he announced himself the
candidate of the Non-Partisan League
$4O-a-month old-age pension plan.
Nye has the Endorsement of the
Townsend old-age pension group in
the State, and therefore stands in all
right with the prisoners. However,
this LANCER $40-a-month proposition
has been taking hold, and If by any
chance LANCER defeats Nye, it may be
the effect Of the pension plan on the
voters.

sons largely sentimental" according
to her representative.
Miss Pickford did not say what the
largely sentimental" reasons are.
One reason she is here, sentimental
or not. is to pay call on the Alley
Dwelling Authority. Miss Pickford
takes her commissioners chores seri-
ousiy. She likes Washington because
it was planned and has trees. She
hasn't any use for cities that do not
plan for wide streets and trees.
At 2 o'clock she will visit John
Ihlder, executive officer OF the Alley
Dwelling Authority. who will explain
for her benefit some of the housing
problems of the National Capital
Then they will 60 and see for them
selves conditions in number OF the

Included in the tour is Kings court,
in the square bounded by Fourth and
Fifth, N and o streets NV, and the
new project of the A. D. A. on v
street between Fourth and Fifth
streets. Miss Pickford is interested in
children and housing. Mr.. Ihlder ex-
planned, and desired to see what was
being done here to abolish slums.
Miss Pickfords future stage and
screen plans are in the indefinite
state. She'd like to do stage play,
she says. but for two reasons.
Il might get play that would be
success and keep me in the same role
for two years and then I might be
terrific flop. I couldn't face either"

HAMILTON TALK
REACTION MIXED
Several Congress Members
Dissent, Others Say Crop
Control Is Failure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A statement by John D. M. Hamil.
ton, Republican National Committee
chairman, that the administrators
farm program had collapsed, produced
a mixed reaction here today.
Several Democratic members OF
Congress dissented sharply: some
other legislators said the crop control
program had failed to accomplish It's
purpose and that other means Of as
sisting the farmer would have to be
found.
Mr.. Hamilton told farm belt au-
dience at Montpelier, Ohio, that de-
clines In price Of wheat, cotton. corn
and other products during the past
year showed the administration pro-
gram had broken down. Democratic
Senators replied that he should COM
pare present farm income with that Of
the Hoover administration.
III Chairman Hamilton has a clear
cut solution for the farm problem, let
him bring it out in the open," said
Senator Pepper, Democrat.
Senator Boran, Republican. of Idaho,
dean of the small band Of Republican
Senators, said he agreed that the ad-
ministration's farm program had COLI
lapsed, but took issue with Mr. Hamil-
toms criticism of Secretary Wallace's
proposal to subsidize consumption by
low-income persons in the United
States.
The Republican chairman had said
this proposal by Secretary Wallace was
an Idea to end all New Deal ideas"
and would fail to aid the farmer while
costing more than $1,000, 100000 an.

enter into the election. If the New
Deal Democrats. desiring to terminate
Nye's service in the Senate. should
join with LANCER. it would make it
exceedingly difficult for Nye to win.
Indeed, it probably would mean his
defeat. However. the Democrats have
given no sign on such an alliance
and they themselves are hoping for
support for Moses, their gubernatorial
candidate, from Republicans who do
not wish Langers man, Hagen, to be
elected. This last may deter the
Democrats from going over to LANCER,
whom they do not like anyway
The expectation Of observers In
North Dakota. partial and impartial,
is that Nye will be Reelected. Nye
is taking no chances. however. He is
out speaking constantly. and drawing
good crowds. Gov. LANCER is not let
ting the grass grow under his feet,
either-and he has been campaigning
constantly all summer and fall.
Lemke, Burdick Have Edge.
There Is no doubt that the two
Republican nominees for the House,
Lemke and Burdick. will be reelected
over their Democratic opponents
However, Lemke and Burdick wear
the Republican label lightly, and
probably only because Republicans are
elected in North Dakota elections.
North Dakota has been slowly COM
ing back from it's disastrous droughts
and dust storms. Farm crops this
year have been satisfactory in the
main, particularly when compared to
the drought years. The State has
produced a considerable wheat crop
but the price is down, which makes
no hit with the farmers. The potato
growers in the State turned down by
a vote of two to one a potato control
proposal, which would indicate that
the North Dakota farmers are not
enamoured of the Wallace crop and
production control program.

now. He had the support Of both in
the primary and 1t is marvel that
Senator Nye was able to defeat
LANCER. The Governor, however, made
several mistakes-and tirades-during
the primary campaign.
He has hate for Senator Nye, who
fought him in the past, and Nye
reciprocated. AS matter of fact,
Nye was a creation himself of the
old Nom Partisan League. and there
are many leaguers who still stick to
him. The league has become, in its
present organization, personal ad-
junct of Gov. Langer-it is not what
it used to be.
Senator Nye today has the 100 per
cent support of the conservative wing
of the Republican party. The conser-
first, because they hate LANCER more,
and second, because Nye came out
definitely against President Roosevelt's
bill to increase the membership Of the
United States Supreme Court last year
and helped to defeat that measure.
Neutrality Act Aids Nye.
The Senator has, too, widespread
support because of his sponsorship Of
neutrality on the part Of the United
States, and the Neutrality Act. The
recent war scare abroad played right
into Nye's hands. Nye has also the
backing of Representative William
Lemke, who was elected as Repub-
lican to the House in 1885 at the same
time he was heading the union party
sponsored by Father Coughlin. Lemke,
as a presidential candidate, polled
36.708 votes in North Dakota. Roose-
velt carried the State with a vote Of
1863 900 votes to 81 900 for ALI Landon,
Republican.
Despite its support for Roosevelt in
1882 and 1896, North Dakota is a Re-
publican State-radical Republican,, If
you wish but still Republican. It
elects its two Representatives at large,
and Burdick, the other Representative,
was nominated and elected as a Re-
publican, too. Burdick this year is
supporting LANCER, and the Republican
nominee for Governor, John N. Hagen.

Secret Service Man Tells
Photo Engravers Here of
Years Progress.

Efforts of the Government to help
protect the gullible public from losses
through counterfeit money were de-
clared today by Julian T. Baber OF the
Secret Service to be bringing substan-
tial results.
AS an outgrowth of the educational
campaign to make the public "coun-
terfeit conscious" Mr. Baber told the
American Photo Engravers' Associa-
ton, at the Mayflower Hotel, the flow
OF counterfeit money has showed a
noticeable decrease"
This educational campaign is IN
addition to the work Of the Secret
Service in suppression of counter
feiting itself. through detection, ar
rest and conviction of criminals.

Explaining results of the campaign,
Mr.. Baber said: We segregate coun-
terfeit money into two classes-'ln
evidence and not in evidence The
latter class represents counterfeits sur
rendered to our agents by banks. mer-
chants and others. This class repre-
sents loss to the ultimate holder
unless he is able to trace the worthless
paper back to its source.
In 1885 not In evidence seizures
amounted to the startling figure of
81 ,038,924, an average of S56.577
monthly. I am pleased to report that
this amount has steadily dropped.
During the past fiscal year the average
seizure amounted to approXi-
mately $4,000. In February seizures
not in evidence amounted to s21.773,
the lowest amount for any month since
January. 1882. We are proud of this
record in reducing losses formerly sus-
tained by the public and We are hope
full of further improvement"
