The total vote cast in that primary was approximately 512,000 Expet Bigger Vote. Because of the great interest aroused | over the wet and dry issue, it is be- lieved that an even larger vote will e cast in the Republican primary Tues- day, than was cast in 1928. All sides are hoping to benefit by the big vote expected. The women are expected to play a big part in the election. wives of the candidates have been racing about the State, making speech- es, attending 'teas and receptions, in unprecedented fashion, and the woman vote is likely to be split three ways. Neither the Morrow supporters nor the Fort people will admit that Sena- tor Frelinghuysen now has a. chance for the nomination. Of course, that is not the position'taken by the Freling- buysen management, which has been working hard for months. Both the Morrow and the Fort camps assert that the real race is between Ambassador Morrow and Representative Fort, and that Prelinghuysen will run third. How- ever, there are those who contend Fre- linghuysen will get a very substantial, and even a suprising vote, although they do not believe he will win. The drys are sarcastically asking what will be the situation if Morrow, champion of repeal of the eighteenth amendmens, should be nominated. Will the Republican State convention there- after lflo?'- a platform containing lank declaring for repeal of the pro- ibition amendment? Such a plank, the drys poirt out, would be in direct conflict wiun the Republican national platform of 1928 and with the pledges of President Hoover and the national administration. How will it be possible for the six dry Republican members of the House to run on such a platform, is another question the drys are asking. ‘They contend that the State conven- tion, in the event of the nomination of Morrow, will have to decide whether it will repudiate Morrow’s stand on prohibition or adopt a wet platform. Prohibition Big Issue. The drys in one breath tell you that the only big issue in the present cam- for the Republican senatorial nomination is prohibition, and in the The | SIDNEY G. COLVIN. DEATH ENDS CAREER OF PETER R. DAVIS Served Department 37 Years and Was Decorated in Knickerbocker Disaster. For 37 years Acting Deputy Chief Peter R. Davis, white-haired veteran of countless fires, has scaled fireladders to smoke-filled and flaming buildings, courageous always in the face of danger. Yesterday one of those ladders spiit in half as he climbed from the third next they complain because Morrow has not discussed other issues, Fort has at considerable length into the arming situation in the State and has discussed the tariff and other matters aside from prohibition. Ao Morrow's camipaign speethes, since he made his opening address dealing with the prohibition issue, have touched on American relations with Mexico, on the London naval treaty, on business and unemployment and ‘“tolerance.” If he floor of the fire-wrecked Rudolph & ‘West Building, and sent him hurtling to his death. The veteran firefighter died at Emerg- ency Hospital three hours after he was picked ue from the hose-filled pave- ment. ‘At his bedside were his wife, Mrs. Ethel Davis, and his boon -com- panion, Fire Chief George Watson. Outside in the corridors a score of his firefighters stood—ready at the slightest call to give blood that might save their chief. He died, however, before the transfusion could be made. Twice before the veteran had scaled the ladder to the third floor of the building. It was on his third trip, just as he had one foot on the ladder to descend, that the ladder, also bearing Tit- | three of his men, broke and threw them i £385¢ g gsgs 5 : should this | y the leaders, and them now? To Edd ¥Ef ; &mpoud to him be a candi . Further, he e -organization leaders asked very pertinently whether he was ng to underwrite the campaign for sums of money. Turned o Morrow. has been charged that one o - tion leader wanted the sum of $250,- 000 for his own county, and that this was one of the demands which Fort turned down. Fort's controversy has been conducted wtv.hd Mayor J:’r‘cmo T. « EEES ¥ g his position clear, he said, the leaders did not want him for.a with the address he House last Spring in which he declared that the eighteenth amendment was di- rected particularly at the liquor traffic and that under certain eircumstances, “home brew” might be legal. This :fiech was interpreted widely at the e as an advocacy of home brew as a Fyemedy for prohibition evils. Fort has sought to show that he did not in that speech advocate home brew. The drys have accepted his explanation and taken him to ir bosoms as & 100 per cent prohibitionist. The drys have had to face the argu- ment advanced by the Morrow people that Morrow is the only candidate who would have a chance to win in the November election against the Demo- cratic nominee, who will be State Sen- ator Alex Simpson. This, they say, is mere defeatist talk, Why, they say, should the wet Republicans desert Fo if he be nominated in the general ele tion, any more than the dry Repul icans should desert Morrow in the event of his nomination? Simpson Also Wet. The Anti-Saloon League officials say they have not made up their minds what they will do in the event of the nomination of Morrow. It is too late for them to put an independent Repub- lican dry in the fleld for the general election, for under the terms of the State law the time limit for il ex- pired at midnight Thursday, They might urge the dry Republicans to stay away from the polls in November and it the election of Simpson, but the Pemocrat i & wet, too. There is & suspicion, however, that the drys would rather have Simpson elected than Mor- row.

In March of 1920, the chief was confined to bed for more than two months after he was seriously gaased in_the Hotel Driscoll fire. Pire Chief Watson expressed deep regret at the passing of one he termed 83 “one of his best and most reliable firemen.” “He was & real fireman,” sald Chief Watson. “I have never known him to raise his voice in anger at a fire— he was always calm and collected in face pf the greatest danger.

Colvin of 644 East Capitol street, was standing on the sidewalk in front of the Union Bus Terminal, at 1336 New York avenue, when he saw a tiny puff of smoke seep through the casing of a window on one of the unger floors of the Rudolph & West Co. Building. “I watched for a moment, and an- other burst of smoke shot out and floated away. Then I ran as fast as I could to the fire box at Thirteenth and H streets and turned in the alarm,” the youngster declared. “I started back toward the fire on the run.” he explaine: “‘Great clouds of black smoke weére J)ourlnz from Ru- dolph & West's, and soon the whole street was full of fire engines and peo- ple. Then a policeman came and chased me away. “I wasn't going to tell anybody that I turned in the alarm, but two other messengers asked me where I cut hand and I told them. They ‘snitch to a policeman, and he came over and told me to go to the George Washington Hosplml after taking my name,” he said. The boy severely cut two fingers of his right hand in beating out the glass in the fire alarm box with his bare fist. Staff physiclans at George Wash- ington Hospital removed many tiny par- ticles of glass from his fingers and then dressed the wounds. “Sucks, that's nothing!” the young- ster scoffed when asked about his in- Jjuries. “You see, sir,” he said, “I'm a member of the student patrol over at Hine Junior High School, and it's part of our work to turn in fire alarms and such stuff as that, just like reg'lar cops would do.” DUTY DEATH ROLL OF FIREMEN NOW 17 Name of Peter R.

Newspapers were used as umbrellas | by spectators as the high wind carried spray a block or two away, Seasoned newspaper reporters became “jumpy” after witnessing the crash of the Iladder. Some one shouted “look out” shortly after the ladder snapped and half a dogzen reporters keeled over and ran for their very lives after the manner of foot ball halfbacks. Some one was merely moving an automobile a hundred feet away. At the peak of the fire numerous owners removed their cars from the danger zone by driving along sidewalks with police permission. The street was too jammed with hos A small advertising light burned throughout the fire in the show window of the blazing bullding. The competition for pay-station hones in the vicinity was terrific as te afternoon nhorzcu called friends to tell them of the fire.
