GIRL TAKES HONOR '1 IN VRGINIA FINAL Miss Josephine Sterling Wins | Championship of Northern | Section of State. ‘ Miss Josephine Anne Sterling, year-old senior of the Washington-Lee High School of Baliston, was declared the champlon high school oratos of | northern Virginia last night in the Vir- ginia district finals of the Fifth Na-| tional Oratorical Contast. | ‘With six boys already chosen as the | representatives of the Marviand cstrict | and the five public high school “districts” | 5 Washington, Miss Sterling is the only | girl so far in The Star's contest area to triumph over masculine forensic | powers to win a district champlonship. | Unless & girl wins in the private and | parochial schools district finals tomor- | Yow afternoon, the Virginia champion | will be the only girl contender for the | 11-week tour of Europe, and its accom- panying honors in The Star finals one week from today. | Staged in the auditorium of the| Washington-Lee High School, the Vir-| ginia district finals meeting last night fairly bristled with thrills and lusl)"; lunged enthusiasm. There were quiet. | easy starts, there were bolting starts and | even faltering starts in the field of fo- rensic racers for the Virginia champion- | sh There was neck and neck compe- i tition between most of the runners, and | fiying finishes by the whole field. Wit- | nessing the spectacle was a tense, ex- cited audience that packed the orches- tra and balcony seats of the big audi- torium, which might just as weil have | been a pennanted grandstand erected at the finish line of the race. And of course, there was the board of judges to ' name the winner. Kemp Welcomes Throng. Fletcher Kemp, superintendent of the Arlington County schools, opened the meet by welcoming the vast assembly to | one of the schools of his jurisdiction. In | greeting the contestants and audience, M. Kemp, reviewed the values of the | National Oratorical Contest as he sees | them. The contest, he said, has had a | wholesome influence upon the youth by contributing a source of lively interest | in learning that has made boys and girls | more content with their academic lot. | making them “want to remain in school rather than desire to leave it.” NING CREW OF THE BREMEN DEPARTING FROM Referring to the then unknown losers in the contest, Mr. Kemp said that if they have even a spark of the fire that placed them among the five survivor: of the original hundreds of participants they'll be back in the contest next year to carry on with greater determination and courage. He said that Arlington County 1is grateful to The Washington Star for the interest it has manifested in educa- tion in the State of Virginia and he commended the administration of the Fifth National Oratorical Contest fo the arrangements under which stu- dents in the various districts have com- peted took occasion to pay particular tribute test manager, “whose interest in and co-operation with our school faculties have wrought harmony and real joy in the contest ition.” man of the meeting. “our friend and | our Congressman, Representative R | m”m‘ of the eighth Virginia | Moore Commends Contest.

LEADERS OF BOTH CAMPS IN INDIANA __(Continued from First Page) only candidate in the field against Mr. Hoover. Some of them do not like this and may refrain from voting. Seek to Reach Farmers. Mr. Hoover has been painted to the Indiana farmers as no friend of theirs The farm organization has done its best to spread this belief. Hoover speakers have worked hard to over- come this, and advertisements are run- ning in many of the newspapers pre- senting Mr. Hoover as a friend of the farmer and not responsible for fixing the price of wheat during the World War. Victory in Indiana means a lot to the anti-Hoover people and also to the Hoover-for-President movement. In- diana is decidedly in the corn belt of the Middle West. Its entire delegation in Congress has supported the McNary- Haugen farm relief bill, with its equal- ization fee principle. But suppose the State should go for Hoover, who has been unfriendly to that legislation? It would give a severe blow to the claim that Mr. Hoover would lose many of the agricultural States of the Middle | West 1f he were the presidential nomi- nee. It is even urged here by his op- ponents that if he were nominated he might be unable to carry Indiana against Al Smith, if the latter were the Democratic nominee. This last claim is largely for cam- paign purposes. I have not found that leading Democrats in, Indiana belleve that Smith would have a ghost of a chance to carry the State against Hoover. Indeed, one of their most im- portant leaders tells me that he is convinced that Hoover would beat Smith by many thousands of votes, if press free speech when such is within | they are pitted against each other in the State.

But others feel, rather, that Rep- resentative Hull of Tennessee is the likely choice of the Houston convention for Vice President if Smith is to head the ticket. Hull comes from a border State that might be in jeopardy, is a dry and a Southern man. There are circles within circles in the mixed Republican situation here. One of the questions which is puzzling the leaders is just how the dry vote is going to divide up. The Anti-Saloon League of Indiana in its official pro- nouncement of candidates dential candidates as follows: Demo- cratic—Evans Woollen, dry; Republican —Senator Watson, dry of record: Her- bert Hoover, dry. The Democrats do not | see how he can be stopped. Some of | They | lists presi- | It is explained that S. [ T | “dry of record” means that Watson | has had an opportunity to vote on dry legislation and has supported it. But it has no fight against Hoover. He | is said to be acceptable to the league. | Dr. E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Indiana, | has run afoul of Senator Watson. He was sued for contempt of court a couple | | of years ago because he referred to the members of the State Supreme Court as | | “wet.” According to Mr. Shumaker, he appealed to Senators Robinson and Watson in 1926 to have the case against him settled quickly. although the Re- publican organization at the time| wished to shunt the decision off until ! after the election, in which Senator | Watson was a candidate. This l‘,ame“ to light last year, but it was charged by Attorney General Gilliom, who is! fighting the Anti-Saloon League as a “super-government” in the State, that | Shumaker undertook to have the Sena- tors influence the court to hold him | innocent. { Drys May Turn. | Senator Watson, in a deposition, rather indicated that Shumaker had asked that influence be used to prevent a jail sentence against him. And now | the word is going round that some of | the dry friends of Mr. Shumaker are | inclined to vote against Senator Wat- son on that account. Mr. Shumaker is keeping aloof in the matter. | Attorney General Gilllom, who is| fighting the Anti-Saloon League with one hand and the Ku Klux Klan with the other, is a candidate for the Re- publican senatorial nomination against Senator Robinson and Solon J. Carter. A day or two ago he had Shumaker arrested on charge of violating the cor- rupt practices act, because Shumaker in his Anti-Saloon League listing of candidates declared Gilliom “wet of record.” Gilliom insists he is dry. and there is a clause in the law that makes misrepresentation of candidates a viola- tion of the law. Shumaker has been released on $1,000 bond. | ‘The Klan is the subject of a suit, too, | brought by Gilliom to oust the order | | from Indiana, on the ground that it | was involved in corrupt practices and | its officials sought to gain through | | Government contracts. If the Klan is | active in the present campaign, it is | | keeping it under cover. It is in bad | order in the State and its membership | has fallen off tremendously. The talk | is that the Klan wouid support Watson | in the presidential race, if any one. But open support by the Klan would scarce- | iy aid the Senator at this juncture. Recently the Hoover campaign in In- diana has been enlivened by the intro- duction of a number of speakers. Gov. Green of Michigan, former Gov. Hard- | ing of Iowa, Robert Taft, son of the Chief Justice and a Hoover leader in Ohio, and Miss Mabel Willebrandt, As- sistant Attorney General in charge of prohibition cases, are among the Hoover speakers. | Yesterday the Times published a let- ter written by Postmaster General New to Booth Tarkington, Indiana author defending Mr. Hoover's Republicanism and Americanism and declaring for his nomination. The same newspaper is publishing a series of articles by Will Irwin attacking Watson and favoring Hoover. | in Indiana the primary law Here provides that a candidate winning the | = presidential preference has the entire State delegation to the national cen- | ventions bound to him until he releases | it. It is in effect a unit rule. This means that if Senator Watson wins by | a single vote in the State-wide contest | with Mr. Hoover, he has the whole | delegation, 33 strong, at Kansas City until he releases it. If Mr. Hoover | should win, he would have the same power over the delegation. This makes the contest all the more important. SMITH ADDRESSE?POST. Veterans' Bureau Counsel Speaks at Legion Meeting.
