McMaster Wins For the senatorial endorsement at the’ Republican convention a bitter fight was waged between Governor William H. McMaster and Serator ‘Thomas Sterling, incumbent. Gover- nor McMaster won the endorsement over Mr. Sterling by a vote of 40,207 against 37,827. The endorsement of McMaster af- ter the selection of Coolidge came as a surprise as the Governor in an- nouncing that he was in the senatori- al race~ had publicly endorsed the! candidacy of Hiram Johnson for the presidency and was regarded as the leader of the Johnson force’ in the convention, - Senator Sterling had never declared his presidential choice but he was regraded as a Cqolidge advocate. ‘Tom Ayres, chairman of the state central committee, won the senatorial endorsement at the Farmer-Labor convention by a large majority over Mark Bates, former leader in the Nonpartisan League. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas characterized as “a big brother” to the farmers who should make an ex- cellent running mate for our esteem- ed executive” was unanimously en- dorsed for vice-president by the Re- publican convention.

Scranton? Pa., Dec, 6,—“It. wasn't worth it.” Dominick Delfino, who for five ars kept the electric chair waiting | while police scoured the United States and Canada for him, sat be- fore a little pine table and drew, imaginary circles on it with long thin, fingers. For Dominick is back in the Lack- awanna county jail again and his spectacular escape of five years ago, wherein he battered one guard over the head, held two others at bay and staged a running gun fight with a fourth, is in small danger of being repeated. Besides— “It wasn’t worth it,” says Domin- ick. And thus does this wiry Italian with the beautiful hands wave away | the five years which he wrested from! life, Life was sweet on that morning of February 4, in 1918, when the last guard crumpled up with a gunshot in his arm and Dominick burst out of prison doors. : New Strugele Begins \ And then began a struggle of a {different kind. It was a bitterly cold day and Dominick, in his thin prison shirt and trousers, was freez- ing. A mile and a half away from the jail he gathered courage to knock On a door, “Please, miasus,” he “called, “I am freezing.’ “Go away, you big bum,” said the, woman. A quarter of a mile further Do- minick tried again. This time he had better luck for though the woman was suspicious she gave him a rag- ged coat. And now the police were searching the roads. Dominick lay down in the snow behind hedges and shivered until the police had gone by. Little Laughter; Much Shivering By hopping freight trains and do- ing an occasional day’s labor Domi- nick worked his way into Canada. The stations and the fences were all full of the pictures of one Dominick Delfino, who had escaped from pri- son and for whose return $1000 would be paid. Dominick put ptroxide on his hair and. eyebrows and stuffed out his lips with cotton, “One thousand dollars! Why don’t you try to get that money?” said a' passerby to Dominick one day. Dominick laughed, but he shivered. Little by little Dominick worked his way west.to Vancouver. Some- times he had good jobs and then he went to the theaters and concerts. As much as possible he tried to keep in with the police so he would know when they, were. looking for him.’ Once he slipped out of a side door (Continued on Page 3) $9,000,000 to be applied upon the e ported wheat approximately . 170,- 000,000. bushels. The premium would be 30 cents a bushel, The enhanced export price will have to be met by those desiring to| purchase domestic wheat. The farmer in America will receive therefore 30 cents above the world price of wheat and will pay out 7 1-2 cents as tax. The tax and premium should be revised each year to accord with the variation in the quantity of Ameri- can wheat. The present tariff must be increas- ed from 30 to 60 cents a bushel.

Gillette of Massa- chusetts was re-elected speaker of the house today when the Republican insurgents voted for him for the first time since a deadlock developed Mon- day.
