LINCOLN, Nebr., Aug. "A popu-
lar Democratic Governor seeks to

Despite the trial of third term"
psychology. the States primary cam
paign has been dull and almost bereft
of national issues.
Gov. r. L. Cochran, who has done
no formal campaigning, bases his
third-term bid on claims of an econ
omy record in the State which ad-
vertises itself as the white spot of
the Nation" Most other candidates.
including Charles j. Warner, Repub-
lican, Speaker of the Unicameral Leg
islature. have joined Gov. Cochran in
promises to keep the white spot
white by no new taxation.

the potent name of Bryan. Brother of
the Great Commoner," Charles w.,
thrice Governor himself (not con-
secutively), is not in the race. But
his former secretary, Franz c. Radke,
is running and some observers have
termed his candidacy a test Of Bryan
strength. If he runs we'll, they specu-
late, Mr.. Bryan will make the general
election fight a three-cornered battle
by entering as a petition candidate.
The New Deal is not an open is

of the Democratic candidates profess
friendship and a desire to cooperate

ROSS IS STILL FIGHT FAv0RITE
 IN TITLE BOUT
WeIterweight Title Bout on Tonight; Barney
 7 tO5 4

New York, May 31-(UP)-Unless there is cloudburst before 10 p. m., Barney Ross, welterweight cham pion, will defend his title against Henry Armstrong, Negro challenger, in Madison Square Garden Bowl to- night.
 Although the weather forecast was for mostly cloudy" Promoter Mike Jacobs stated emphaticalfy that the twice-postponed battle would go on unless torrent stops it."
 Both men ended training yester- day and were to appear at the New York Athletic commission offices at noon for physical checkups and to weigh-in again. Their weights will have no bearing since neither exceeded the 147-pound welter limit.
 Weighed Once
 Ross and Armstrong, who holds the featherweight title and aspires to both welter and lightweight crowns, compiled with poundage agreements at the first weighing-in ceremony last Thursday, original date for the fight. The fight was postponed Friday for second time before they had chance to step upon the scales.
 Ross remained 7-5 favorite al- though the five day delay was be- lieved to have dulled his fighting edge more than it had Armstrong's. Barney, who, at 28 is thre years older than his opponent-was as keen as razor when he first ended training last Tuesday. He weighed in at Al 3-4 Thursday, his best fighting weight, and his trainers have been concerned principally with preventing him from going stale these last few days.
 Armstrong, the St. Louis born Me- gro who came to boXings big g-time via Los Angeles, tipped the athletic commission scales at 136 IA Thurs day-some three or four pounds above his best fighting weight.

Ne.u Money, Mob Marks At Aga.Uar7,

Springfield, May 31-Agawam Park, after the most brilliant opening in it's history settled into stride today for the 31 re- maining days Of the Western New England racing season. In two days Of racing-Saturday and Memorial Day-all records for attendance and mutuel handle were as torn and tat tered as the thousands of old mutuel tickets that Superin- tendent Jimmy Sleeper col lected in bales last night. In the two days, more than 5O,00O sports lovers stuffed more than S540,00O through the wickets of the mutuel windows, to break both the opening day record and the all-time record for Agawam Park. The crowd yesterday was magnificent testimonial to the management of the track and to the sport itself. Officially, exactly 27,455 passed through the turnstiles, and it is no exaggerati0n to say that over 30,000 were on the grounds. It was the largest turnout for any sporting event in the history of western New England, with the sole excep- tiOn of the Harvard Yale foot ball spectacle.
