Despite from private sources that Cha Wells, the man who is reported to have been driven from Wrangell Island, deep in the Arctic Circle, by Soviet sailors, is an American citizen, the State Depart- ment continued calm and unruffled over the incident today. 3 Although the department maintain- ed diplomatic silence regarding Nome reports of the occurrence, which lls and a number of col- been atken to Siberia as those close to officials pointed out that the American Gov- ernment has repeatedly ‘warned Americans from visiting or traveling in Russia ‘Warns Americans Away.

The cup, which is to be known as the “Presi- dent's Cup” was turned over by the President today to a committee repre- senting the Army and Navy in which were Lieut. Comdr. H. V.

Most of those =0 inclined, however, want to confine the count to States outside the “solid South.” One enthusiastic but black-hearted Republican is will- ing to bet $3,000 to $10,000 that La Foilette will get more votes in Great- er New York than Davis. Evidently he believes Tammany will trade the national ticket for State ballots, just as it was widely suspected of doing in 1920 Smith Carries Odds.

More than a, score of officers and officials of the National Guard, headed by Adjt. Gen. Milton E. Reckord of Maryland, who is president of the Na- tional Guard Association, called today on President Coolidge and Secretary Weeks to urge increased appropria- tions for the Guard in the new budget. The Association of Adjutants Gen- eral and other organizations. con- cerned with the National Guard were represented in the group. At their preliminary conference with Secre- tary Weeks it was understood that he gave them no definite assurance of an increase. must see to it that Coolidge electors and Republican _Congressmen are chosen in debatable terrjtory.” Mr. Walsh said he would endeavor to establish that the Republican or- ganization proposed to throw into the election in the Southwest and North- west the funds collected “from the beneficiaries of the present business combination” in the Eastern States. —_————— Due to striking increases in Na- tional Guard recruitment in many parts of the country, the aggregate strength of the Guard has risen to a |8 point where current appropriations will not permit further expansion. Orders have been sent to 24 States directing that they cease Guard re- ¢éruiting. This is one of the condi- tions which prompted the conferences held today.

E, Wyo, October 15— With the slogan “let'’s beat Texas to " Wyoming Democrats today were organizing for the most determined political campaign in the State's his- tory, in an effort to elevate to the governorship of Wyoming the fourth Democrat ever to occupy that office in the State’s history. Friends of Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, widow of Gov.| William B. Ress, today predicted that | she would be swept Into office with | at _least 10,000 votes to spare. Thirty-four years ago, Wyoming Territory felt sufficiently grown up | to put on the long pants of statehood, and the strangely assorted group of cowmen, homesteaders, prospectors and lawyers, who framed her pro- gressive laws cudgeled their brains for some gesture with which to demonstrate their superiority over the backward and decadent East. As a result, “votes for women” was writ- ten into an American State’s consti- | tution for the first time, and apo- | pletic Eastern statesmen were given | a new slogan with which to garner votes from the enbattled male ment—“woman's place is in hom ele- the Would Blaze New Trail. Today., Wyoming Democrats are de- termined to blaze still another un- traveled trail, if for no other reason than the altruistic one of providing Eastern politicians with a new slogan on which to go down defeat— | “Down with petticoat rule | Should Nellle Ross win the Novem- ber election, she will be the first woman chief executive of a State, | regardless of what Texas may do about “Ma" Ferguson's candidacy. | For “Our Nell,” as the political boys already are affectionately calling her, would be immediately called upon to take up the reins struck from her husband’s hands by death, filling his unexpired term before beginning her own. Mrx. Ross Is Pioncer. Nellie Tayloe Ross is herself a ploneer. She was Lorn at St. Joseph, Mo., the daughter of J. W. Tayloe. Her family moved during her girl- hood days to Omaha, where she met and married William B. Ross, then a struggling Chevenne lawyer. When | the couple moved to the booming ittle cow town, a little four-room cottage was rented and Nellie Ross| started in at once to establish a rep utation as “the finest housekeeper i Cheyenne.” | Thrce sons came— Ambrose and | George, now 21, twirs, and Bradford, | now 12; and the housework grew in proportion, but Nellle Ross kept her | record as premier housekeeper un- challenged. When the goal of their dreams finally was reached, the Ross household added & mald and a house- man, but Mrs. Ross continued to pre- | pare wholesome meals and do much of | the other housework as well. i Nellic Ross has no political ambi~| tions. The office sought the womai. | The Democratic nomination was ac-| cepted by her at the last moment, only in the sense that it came as a tribute to her husband, whose pol- icies she will carry out if elected. Never Aspired to Office. “Of course, 1 am deeply interested in politics,” Mrs. Ross explained to- day, “and I think women are as well | qualified to hold administrative places as are men, but I have never aspired to public office. and do so now only that 1 might carry to fruition the policies and plans of my husband.” Nellile Ross gives to politics a new type. A handsome woman of about 40, aristocratic in appearance, cultured, widely read and well informed as to political issues and Government prob- lems, she vet is the perfect type of home-maker before whom Wyoming men bow and pay eloquent tribute. She plans to “keep houee” for the State as she did for William Ross—practicing the homely virtues of rigid economy. neat. ness, orderliness and perfect efficiency. | In the coming campaign Mrs. Ross | will make few, if any, speeches, but hers | will be the gulding hand of the Demo- | cratic machine and hers the full glory | of victory should ehe succeed in over- | coming a normal Republican majority of 6,000 and defeat the formidable Repub- lican candidate, Eugene J.
