So powerful Is the evidence of
sabotage, that, for such acts before
we entered the First World War, the
German government has already
paid more than $16O,0O0,00O in
damages to owners OF sabotaged
plants.
That there has been less damage
from sabotage this time is due to
the lessons we learned In the first

agencies.

of good will for the United States.
He sort of dropped in unan-

the transatlantic ferry route.
looked the situation over and pro-
claimed himself the mayor and pres
ident Of the chamber of commerce,
of which he is the only member.
Officially, the red-faced, blue-eyed
Texan with a battered canvas ha.
over his thinning hair, holds an
important position in the Royal Air
Force Ferry Command.
A plane seldom leaves the field
for the long hop to England that he
doesn't see it off and give the boys
a thumbs up.
And amt lost ship yet that I've
given the old thumb" Mickey boasts.
Welcomes All Visitors.
He greets all visitors with a
speech of welcome and presents
them with the key to the city
which he promptly takes away from
them to be autographed. The names
OF Molotoff, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
jr.. Col. Bill Donovan, Lord and
Lady Halifax and others are thick
on his key.
The Newfoundlanders still can't
figure out the shrewd, good -natured
Texan. They see him hobnoD with
cooks, laborers, truck drivers and
the lowliest Of the workman. Five
minutes later he'll be chatting with
a visiting ambassador or an English
lord.
Mr.. Eferson came here only a
few weeks ago, but already he knows
most Of the people by their first
names. If there ever is an election,
Mickey could win hands down.
These are right nice folks up
here" Mickey says, rattling a pair

The wfoun d landers gather
around in droves to listen to Mickey
talk to the dice. and they see an
old master in action-for. the Mayor
has been known to make five passes

Never Loses Good Humor.
Mickey is one of the ferry COM
mand's biggest assets at this remote
spot, for he never loses his good
humor, and he has made the State
OF Texas legendary place peopled
by daredevils whose exploits are
on the Paul Bunyan side.
The Mick is product of Brady,
Tex, and a veteran of the first

Texas Primary Today
Finds 0'DanieI Facinq
7 Strong Opponents
Senator Predicts He'll
Win Ruce Without
Runoff, However
By tie Associated Press.

DALLAS, Tex. July 25.-W. Lee
O'Daniel staked his meteoric politi-
cal career today on Texas primary
election in which he seeks a second
senatorial term against two for
midable opponents-James v. Alfred
and Dan Moody, both former gov
ernors.
Catapulting from politically un-
known -four salesman to two terms
as governor and then to the United
States Senate in a special election
a year ago with the aid of a hill
billy band and intensive use of the
radio, Senator O'Daniel is believed
to face his severest test in the Dem
ocratic primary.
In his final address, Senator
ODaniel sounded the refrain he has
used throughout the campaign:
There amt gonna be no runon, !"
adding that he would poll 10 to IS
per cent of the vote.
Alfred Sees O'Daniel Beaten.
In closing his campaign, Mr.. ALL
red, who resigned a $10,000-a-year
Federal judgeship to run for the
Senate, replied to Senator O'Daniel:
Hes right-there amt gonna be no
runof And If there is-he amt
gonna be in it."
Mr.. Moody predicted there would
be runof and that he would be
in it.
Texas laws provide for a runon
election by the two highest candi-
dates in event one does not receive
majority vote in the primary.
Nomination in a Democratic pri-
mary is tantamount to election.
A nominee for governor also will
be chosen. Coke Stevenson, the
incumbent, is running against four
other candidates, including Hal H.
Collins, Mineral Wells business
man who has been Senator ODan-
| iels companion on his tour.
Nine Of the States 81 representa-
tives in Congress have opposition
but the defeat of any would be un-
expected, political observers said.
1t was estimated that from 700, ,000
to 100000 votes would be cast. The
polls opened at 7 am Central war
time and will close at pm.
Campaign Features the Same.
Senator O'Daniels campaign has
followed the pattern cut when he
entered politics in 1888. He has
toured the State with sound trucks,
his hillbilly band and two singers
Texas Rose and the Texas Song
bird. AS before, he has used the
radio literally.
He also has continued to assail
professional politicians, but the
theme that drew most of his oppo-
nents' fire was that the war wasn't
a campaign issue-because, he in
sisted, there was no division OF
opinion over winning it.
Mr.. Alfred and Mr.. Moody-whom
Senator O'Daniel has dubbed 1.-The
Gold-Dust Twins Shave insisted
that the war was the principal issue
They also assert that Senator
O'Daniel has been an isolationist
and that he is unfit for the Senate
Mr.. Moody has criticized Senator
O'Daniel for making "a cheap
vaudeville show" OF his campaign
and Mr.. Alfred because the Senator
has opened his rallies with COM
munity songfests.
Mr.. Alfred has referred rarely tt
Mr.. Moody, concentrating most o.
his attacks on Senator O'Daniel.
