P. The election in the Second Massachusetts Con- gressional District in which William J. Gx’.nlh(*ld‘. Democrat, defeated his Republican opponent by a! majority of 7,500 has scared the Republicans in Congress, according to W. W. Jermane, Washing- ton correspondent and associate editor of the Seattle Times. The district gave Hoover a majority of 8500 last year against Gov. Smith who carried the State. The vote at the by-election, in excess of 57,000, was large. Mr. Jermane says thc Springfield contest fore- casted the election of another Democratic Senator, | to succeed Senator Gillett, and the election of sev- eral Democrats in the Massachusetts Congressional election. He thinks, also, that the Democrats are likely to gain a Senator in New Jersey on the wet and dry issue, and that James Hamilton Lewis, who will make the race for Senator in Illinois as a wet, will probably defeat either Senator Deneen or Ruth Hanna McCormick in Illinois. In fact, Mr. Jermane says, Republicans fear that they may lose both houses in the next Congress on account of the growing strength of the opposition to the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act and the disposi- tion to accept the belief that the Democrats are opposed to them. The Times writer says it is becoming accepted that President Hoover is forcing the Republicans into a position that causes the people to believe it is being dominated by the ultra dries. This, he thinks, is driving many voters, who have been more or less indifferent on the wet and dry question, into the| camp of the wets, The return of James Hamilton Lewis to politics and his acceptance of the leadership role of his party in Illinois has served to arouse great interest in that State and to cause Democrats to display an activity that has been absent for sometime, says Mr. Jermane. Of course this G. O. P, scarce is fine winter sunshine for Democrats. They have perked up in many places—including Iowa as well as Illinois. In the Hawkeye State they have decided to draft Tom ‘Walsh, former famous catcher for the Chicago Cubs and later one of the owners of the Cleveland In- dians, for the Governorship to make the fight with Senator Steck, who will be a candidate for re-elec- tion, for control of the State. Walsh is wealthy and poular, and so is Steck. The Iowa Democrats are hopeful. In spite of all this warm stove winter gossip it ought to be borne in mind that the Republicans have a way of recovering from fright and of mak- ing the most of untoward conditions. They will no doubt forget most of all the internecine warfare and confront the enemy with superior numbers before the fall election day rolls around. HONOR THE HEROIC RUSSIANS. Again, let us doff our hats to that little band of a score of Russians who stuck to the task of digging in the snow and ice for the bodies of | Eielson and Borland until they were rewarded with success. The temperature was blightingly cold, the wind terrific and drifting snow blinding, yet for three long weeks, with a do or die spirit, the Russians dug in. They have earned the right to the sincerest tribute of all men WASHINGTON G. 0. P. WOULD MODIFY PRIMARY LAW. The Republican State Central Committee of Washington in session at Seattle recently adopted a resolution in favor of amending the State direct primary. The plan would call for State and County conventions which would nominate tickets and their nominees would stand as the organization slate. Independents would be permitted to file and con- test the regular nominees for the nominations. The movement was mothered by the women members of the State committee, and adopted without active| opposition. BONDS ARE FAVORED AGAIN. Investors are again turning from stocks to bonds, according to Lawrence Stern and Company's month- | ly review based upon the business of January. | New 'bond and note financing in January aggre- | gated $740,348,578—the largest total registered since the early part of 1928. At the same time, as a & further evidence of strength, the average return of © mew corporate bond issues registered a dcline of % of 1%—the average yield at offering prices for the month having been 5.05%. New stock offerings in January were conspicuous ! by their absence, totalling but $16,166,655. Accord- ingly ,the total of $757,624,233 in new security financ- ing—both stocks and bonds—although registering a * sharp gain over December and November, is much ‘¥ smaller than the monthly totals previous to the . stock market break and the smallest January volume since 1924. rregularity { financing was in the public utility classif where the $150,000,000 issue of the American phone and Telegraph Company represents one of | the most important single pieces of financing in| ccond largest division was that of | total excess of $100,000,000 was| ign issues on the other hand and the industrial The where a Iroads show reg ed total marked decline led a also s | The dollars or millior were forty-three bond issues of a more during the month. to extend the Glacier Mendenhall closer to the glacier better parking and turning roomi promisc 1t want The decision Hi long to make it With such a road it wil a better view of Mende much easier to ble be pos; | Glacier and lgreat ice pile inspect The Olympia Olympian might have added to the that make Washington a great State more than a quarter of a the States in the production still Jeading. list of thing the fact that for she has led al lumber—and she i for The demand used naval vessels does not seem to be very large.

The new Northwest Salmon Canners Association Is making a good start, and promises to perform a most useful purpose in binding together the many smaller factors in the industry who, taken as a unit, represent a very important part of the popula- tion. It is wisely taking a deliberate course in adopting plans of action, though a number of con- structive activities will undoubtedly be developed. ‘With its fortnightly meetings the association will be in a position to deal promptly and effectively with current matters, and to keep alive an active interst in the new conditions that are constantly arising. Even if nothing else were done, the fre- quent gathering of the membership at these lunch- eons would alone justify its existence; but beyond this the association has a distinct field of useful- ness, which cannot well be covered by any other organization. There is no need or intention to con- flict or duplicate or trespass in any way on work that is being done by others. The members are indeed to be congratulated on their desire to co- operate with other organizations, such as the Asso- ciation of Pacific Fisheries and the Canned Salmon Brokers Association, in movements for the better- ment of the salmon business. An important result is the establishment of a new feeling of confidence and solidarity among the pack- ers. It is evident that the industry is now well organized, and is not to be misled or stampeded by misinformation or unfounded rumors arising from the selfish desires of elements in the trade in other parts of the country. It is safe to say that such re- ports, working through the previous distrust and lack of contact, have cost the packers millions of dollars in the past; but from now on it is certain that no reports regarding conditions in the salmon trade will be taken seriously until they have been checked up and their truth or falsit; iti determined. s BN h) LT T T T C —_— As for the pernicious influence of American talkies on the standards of British speech, the Lon- don objectors will have to make up their minds to temporary the better.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
