The approach of the Repub- lican state convention finds sev- seral diverse wings within the party joining in common move ment to "stop Cornell" and dis agree as they may in other matters the groups arc together in op- posing the selection of Paul J. Cornell, the Washington school master and former New York advertising expert, for U. s. Sem ator.

Some of the ''boys" high in Re- publican state councils are bit resentful at the word from head quarters" that Cornell should be nominated They claim that the national committee is trying to meddle in state party affairs, perhaps not directly, but by discreet word here and there that Cornell should be the choice.

< The angles behind Bill Dunphy's

For several reasons they are finding 1t difficpit to hamper the Cornell candidacy. For one thing, they haven't been able to agree on . candidate to suit all. one behind whom they could rally all their forces before the cOnven- ton begins Sept. IF. Another diff ficulty is caused by the running start which Cornell was allowed to get for the nomination.

F.D.R. I'm THE BAG"

The POLITICAL situation, on the
Democratic side, finds the Presi-
dent practically assured of a re-
nomination if he will accept il
from the convention in Chicago.
Meanwhile, James A. Farley and
Paul V. McNutt continue to make
speeches, which are generally &C
eepted as placing them In the
running if the President decides
not to seek a third term. COrdell
Hull, making no speeches and de-
claring himself not a candidate,
is also considered as a possibility
if the President retires. The cam
paign of Vice-President Garner
is making little or no progress,
although it is possible, if the
President runs, that the Vice
President will be the other man
on the ticket again.
In the Republican ring of the
political circus, the figure of
Thomas E. Dewey looms larger
than it did few weeks ago. This
does not mean that the New
Yorker has the nomination lin
the bag, although he has made
substantial gainS/ through the
revelation of strength in recent
primaries. Senators Taft and
Vandenberg are not out of the
running. The former is credit
ed with considerable conven-
ton strength, which, after all, is
what determines the nominee.
About all that one can say of the
Wendell Wilkie, Frank Gannett
and other booms at this time is
that they are interesting but the
group is out of the running un-
less there is deadlock between
other cmtenders and the con-
vention turns to a dark-hOrSe
. for the solution of the problem.
| Last week it seemed likely
that the Special Senate campaign
expenditures investigating COM
mittee would make some kind OF
an inquiry into the charges that
Dewey supporters In Wisconsin
and Nebraska INDUCED in exces-
isive expenditures. Nothing of
fetal was announced but the in
quiry is regarded as certain III

| being circulated. The Dewey
people deny that undue expendi-
lures were made. Opponents are
watching the matter closely,
figuring that possibly the reve-
lation of excessive expenditures,
if they were sTriade, might have
the same effect on the Dewey
candidacy that the 1920 revela-
tionS had on the prospects OF
General Wood and Governor
Lowden.
The status of the political cam
paign thus far continues TO be
uncertain with neither party
knowing what the main issue will
be until President Roosevelt
makes known his position. This
naturally handicaps the candi-
dates and politicians. Apparent
ly, the nation will have to wait
luntil the Democrats meet in Chi
cago to learn what the President
will do.

"Pinotlhio Ends Tonight on Screen at Capitol
 Theatre

A toymaker who wants son to love a cricket who wants a gold badge, and puppet who wants to be a real live hero are the principal figures in "Pinocchio, the ull-length Walt Disney fantasy presented in multiplane technicolor for the last times tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 Pinocchio is the puppet who, in response to the toymaker's wish to have a son, is turned into a live boy. But he does not become a real boy until he learns. by the trial and error method. to distin- guish between right and wrong. Of course. as all little boys (and little girls, too have found out since the world began, the wrong things are far more fun than the right things. but they get you into heaps of trouble, as is proven by the ad ventures of Pmocchio
 The Walt Disney version of Pin occhio' is based on the story by G. Collodi It is well-loved by chil- dren and adults and has been translated into more than two hun dred languages and dialects. RKO Radio is releasing this second full length Disney feature, for which Ned Washington and Leigh Har- line composed a musical background of six new songs.
