On the other hand, so far as the Anti-Saloon League is concerned it probably anticipat that the forthcoming referendum will be wet or that it cannot afford to have the senatorial candidate of the Repub- lican party neutral on an issue which Tequires a staunch dry advocate, Experience with most every referenda ! is that a smaller vote is cast than for the candidate and that in a referendum taken a position, the result is likely to coincide more or less with the bal- ot cast for the victorious candidate. gn New York State the Anti-Saloon Yeague brought about the defeat of a Republican wet but preferred to do so even though it meant the election of & Democratic wet. Hard Fight Is Predicted. It is too early to say whether the entrance of a third candidate in the race will materially diminish Mrs. Mc- Cormick’s chances of election. Imme- diately after her nomination many Re- publicans in Illinois believed that she would have a hard fight against former tor Lewis unless she came out on e wet side of the prohibition con- troversy. is correspondent wrote at the time that Mrs. McCormick would probably announce that she would sbide by the referendum. This was 4 the position assumed by Senators in other States with a dry record. Thus Senator Jones of Washington, Repub- lican, and Senator Walsh of Montana, Democrat, adopted the attitude that while they were personally dry 'they would feel they were committed by a yeferendum in their respective States 4f such a referendum were held and §f it showed that these States were wet.

An oyster bank of their very own will ! be one of the boasts of the all-Demo- | cratic coterie who will share island life | on Chesapeake Bay with Senator Mil- lard E. Tydings of Maryland. ‘The “Jefferson Rod and Gun Club” is the name of the group for whom Maryland's bachelor Senator FPriday | purchased Poplar Island, near Easton, Md. “To be a Democrat” was described as the “sine guo non” of membership, thereby establishing the new camp as a rival to the Rapidan, where Republi- cans gather at the President’s call. Plans for a September meeting to Jaunch a $100,000 club house and island equipment project were divulged today. The next few months may see Chesa- peake oysters keeping just as mum on party chat as Rapidan rocks Poplat Island, however, will not be a mere political gathering ground. Among its leading spirits are sporfs- men supreme, those fishermen friends, Senator Tydings and Senator Harry B. Hawes of Missouri, and those crack shots, Senator Edwin 8.

The Anti-Sa- go.n Teague has accused her of leaning to the wet side for political expediency and predicts that she will abandon her convictions if the referendum -is wet. This revives the old question of whether Senator represents the views of con- stituents or individual and personal convictions when representing a sover- eign State on a highly controversial blem.

Foresees U. S. as Autocracy, With End of Equal Oppor- tunity for All. Esmcm Dispatch to The Star. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, August 30 (N.ANA)—So this was “Alfalfa Bill” Murray! There he lay, flat on his back, stretched at his full length of 6 feet on a cheap bed in a cheap old frame hotel in Oklahoma City. Black 10-cent store cotton socks were on his shoeless feet. His brown hand- me-down trousers, that he had worn all through his campaign for Governor, never had been pressed. His suspenders were stained with sweat and the steel buckles were rusty. His cheap cotton shirt was open at the neck. In his right hand was a black briar pipe with crooked stem, and his head was turned to see who was coming in the_door. “Hello,” he roared. “Come on in. Sit down. I'm resting. Pull up that rocking chair. I'm always ready to falk with you. But damn these Okla- homa papers! They can all go to hell, except the Tulsa World. It was the only daily newspaper in Oklahoma thst didn’t fight me in my race for the Democratic nomination as Governor. “Every other big news r in Okla- homa, and most of the little ones, was for Prank Buttram, the ofl miilionaire, who was running against me. ‘I beat him ‘niore than 100,000 votes.” Product of Open Spaces, “Alfalfa Bill” is the product of the big open spaces of Texas and Oklahoma. When he was a cowboy his voice was l.ratlbliled to affright and stop stampeding cattle. So this day, as he lay on the bed relaxing after the strain of thousands of f,}f“"&“ speecndhes dovex;] e-d“ Oklancma, voice roal and rol like a it bass drum. s “I've been on my feet for weeks, cam- paigning all over Oklahoma, often 10 or 15 speeches a day; wears a fellow's feet out,” he grunted, rubbing the soles of one of them. Murray has nearly always worn cheap, hand-me-down clothes that never fit him and that look as if he had ridden in them all night in a box car. He has had three nicknames for years, and in this last campaign he had & fourth. He says he can tell whether a man is a friend or an enemy by the nickname he uses. If a man calls him “Alfalfa Bill" or “The Sage of Tisho- mingo,” Murray knows he is a friend. If he calls him “Old Cocklebur Bill” or “Bolivia Bill,” Murray knows an enemy is speaking. Years ago Murray grew the first alfalfa in the Chickasaw Indian Na- tion, and he talked and wrote so much about the wonders of the new hay that E\g’r}f one got to calling him “Alfalfa Lost Every Thing in Bolivia. The latest nickname, “Bolivia Bill,” | is derived from an unsuccesful attempt by Murray to settle a colony of 85 Western farmers on a land grant given him in Bolivia. He took all his own family to Bolivia and he lost every- thing. The colonists found the title to the land was no good. The land was no good, either. Nearly all of the colonists have trickled back. One of Murray’s boys is now in Bolivia, wind- ing up the affairs of the colony as best Murray’s opponents are making much of his failure in Bolivia, and argue that a man with no better sense than to pin his faith to such a dream is not qualified to be Governor. But to this Murray answers: “We learn wisdom by the mistakes we make.” “Let me give you an outline of what I propose to do as Governor,” Murray said. “I wasn't nominated because og the drought, although the drought helped. because I was the only candidate that held out hope to them in their dis- tress; because they believed in me, and believed that if elected I would try to help them. “I advocate honesty in public office, economy in reduction of expenditures in government and the adjustment of taxes so as to take them off the home owners, farmers and merchants, thereby reducing the cost of living on | the_consumer. “By far the most important fact | facing us today is that the long drought has completed the ruin, for the time be- {ing, of three-fourths of the farmers in this State. We have ahead the hardest Winter we have ever seen, Farmers | will be broke and discouraged. Thou- | sands in our towns and cities will be | out of work.

But I shall use every surplus dollar I can get my hands on in giving |work to idle men. I shall establish public works, road building and flood control on such a scale that every de- serving man in this State who wants to work can do so at a living wage. [ o To give every one work at a living wage. to jar the political trust loose from control of the State, to scrape the political barnacles from the hull of the ship of state, to reduce taxes and cut expenses of State government, to bring the Constitution back and restore honesty in government—those, in a nutshell, will be my chief aims. foresee the death of the demo- form of government in this cratic country. ithe State capitals I was nominated by the peoplr, "“ALFALFA BILL" ADMITS DRY Sl;ELL HELPED 'HIM WIN NOMINATION [ A |Says He’ll Work to Aid Idlel | | | | | ed during the “ALFALFA BILL" MURRAY. and we will have instead a popular autoeracy. “As the Government in Washington grows in power the Army will grow stronger and will be used as a police power. This shifting will take from the common man the right to exercise his own initiative. The small business man will be gone. People will be born either rich or poor and will remain that, way. The chance to rise will have disappeared.” (Copyright, 1930, by North American News- paper Alliance.) GEN. ALLEN, LEADER OF U. S. RHINE FORCE, EXPIRES SUDDENLY (Continued From First Page.) lived quietly in Washington, devoting a part of his time to writing of his tull years of military adventure, Under his command the American Army of Occupation in Germany was nicknamed “Allen’s family on the Rhine.” The general himself was given the sobriquet of “King” and was said by some of his colleagues to have en- joyed a rejgn of supreme contentment such as the Kaiser had never known in Potsdam. Of this era Maj. Gen. Harboard wrote: All-Highest in Coblentz, “Henry T. Allen, formerly command- er of the 90th Division in the A. E. F. was the all-highest in Coblenz. He held in check, disciplined and ordered 15,000 khaki-clad Americans and kept the late enemy in good humor by a just and benevolent authority.” Despite the genergl's enthusiastic participation in sports, his hunt club rides in colorful silks and velvet attire, and his feasting in marble halls with Europe's premiers and marshals, his reign in Germany was not without serious side. Added to his many of clal duties at that time was a member. ship on the Inter-Allied High Com- mission, and he often played the role of peacemaker between the Franco- British and Germa. authorities in the Rhineland area. German natives, too, brought him their grievances, knowing his reputation as a fair and impartial arbiter. As a result of his experiences in Ger- many, Gen, Allen was among the first to advocate American intervention in the reparations controversy. He worked out & plan which he submitted to the State Department proposing action which would have had the United States “push” PFrance and Germany together. He publicly announced his belief that failure to ratify the peace treaty had left the United States in default in the eyes of Europe, and sought to correct this situation by hav- ing the Washington Gbvernment mod- ity its “isolation policy.” Career Was Arduous. The ardor with which he took up the reparations and other international questions did not deter activities in other flelds in the meanwhile. The ge: eral's sympathies for German war suf- ferers led him to organize the American Committee for the Releaf of German Children. His work in that direction was said at the time to have prevented what would have been a great loss of life of German women and children during the dread Winter of 1923-24. He was instrumental in organizing the Army General Staff, his observa- tions_as military attache in Berlin and | St. Petersburg having convinced him that such a system of Army direction was necessary at Washington. He be- came one of the ploneers through whose efforts the general staff plan was adopt- incumbency of Elihu Root as Secretary of War.

A photographic survey from an air- plane was made of the entire Jennings County, Ind., 400 miles in area. It was done for the purpose of obtaining a base_map for a soil survey and was the first time that a whole county had been covered in this manner. The ex- posures were made at a height of 13,- 000 feet on a scale of four inches to the mile and cost less than 1 cent an acre.

(Continued From First Page.) ago on a great wave of personal popu- larity as well as on the Hoover wave Since he became governor, however, he has lost some of that ppoularity. He is a candidate for re-election and, unless all signs fail, he will be re-elected. Only his margin of victory gppears in doubt. The Democrats are hoping to keep it down to a minimum. The Republicans, on the other hand, are going to do their level best to make a record for majori- ties in an off year. Several Things Against Him. Several incidents in recent history in Maine have militated against Gardiner. He found that the Federal Government was holding up road building aia n Maine because it did not take to the recommendations of the State Highway Commission. Gardiner undertook to & new one. The members of the com- sl AcsiStea. Finally the recalcitrant commissioners were forced out. Some of them have friends, and it is said they and their friends are not going to vote for Gardiner this year. Gardiner sponsored the unpopular side of the proposal to rewrite the State law 50 as to permit the exportation be- yond the State boundaries of the hydro- electric power developed on Maine streams and rivers, The governor fa- vored the exportation and the Legisla- ture repealed the old law prohibiting exportation. But a popular referendum supported the old law. Gov. Gardiner also has been criticized because he declined to submit to the people for a referendum vote laws passed giving to the water power com- nies the same rights of eminent do- ain where their poles were erected as are given in connection with transpor- tation poles and other utility rights of way, and providing for annual permits for fishing and hunting. The attorney general of the State ruled that the pe- titions for the referenudum were not in order. The Governor was held re- sponsible for failure to grant a refer- endum on these matters. Democrats Charge Waste. The Democrats are charging, too, that the State administration under Gov. Gardiner has been wasteful of the taxpayers' money. The State pay roll, it is said, has been “padded” with nearly 200 additional employes. It is the claim of Democratic candidates that the cost of the State government has increased by _something like $5,000,000. The Governor in his campaign speeches denies any extravagance and promises to cut expenditures if he is re-elected. ‘The Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor this year is Edward C. Moran, jr., of Rockland. He made the race against Gardiner two years ago and was de- feated by a vote, in round numbers, of 65,000 to 148,000. In that campaign, Moran, & young man and a veteran of the World War, traveled through the State, and during the last two years he has been constantly on the go, speaking on every possible occasion. No one else seemed particularly enthu- siastic about making the race this year and Moran was drafted again. Outside of Maine, there is more in- terest in the result of the Senatorial eleftion. Wallace H. White, jr., now a member of the House, is the Republi- can nominee and against him is Frank P. Haskell, a lawyer of this eity. White, 't is expected, will be the winner. In- deed, it would be little short of a politi- cal miracle if he were not. Mr. Haskell has been a staunch Democrat for years. He 1s an able lawyer, but he is. not ;ldely known outside this section of the tate. Haskell Is Disinterested. Furthermore, hé has been actively campaigning only a week, for he was nearly a month in Florida. He frankly says he is more interested in the suc- cess of his running mate, Moran, than in his own. Republicans here do not take seriously the suggestion that the Nye slush fund committee will find anything discreditable to Mr. White in its” Investigation of campaign expendi- tures here. They insist that White really epent iittle money in his cam- paign_for the nomination, against for- mer Gov. Ralph O. Brewster. There is a suspicion that Brewste: friends and supporters have sought to stir up the Nye Committee against White. Brewster himself, who lost to White in the primary, as he did to Senator Hale two years ago, has de- clared his support of the Repuhlic ticket and that he is “out of politics.” ‘The election of Mr. White to the Sen- ate would place in that body a de- scencant of a distinguished Senator from Maine who served for many years with the senior Senator Hale, now dead. Mr. White is a grandson of the late Senator Frye. At one time Mr. White was secretary to his grandfather. Later he entered the political fleld himself and was elected to the House where he is now serving. Interest Is Lagging.

M. BUTLER DENIES CHARGES OF HIS FOES Says Statemets on Labor and Ex- penditures Untrue, But Will Reply Later. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, August 30—William M. Butler, candidate for the Republican nomination for United States Senator today denied the veracity of statements issued yesterday by Conrad Crooker, general counsel of the Liberal Civic League, Inc., and Martin Joyce, secre- tary-treasurer of the Massachusetts Federation of Labor, regarding his candidacy. Butler said: “These statements are untrie and full of misrepresentation. I shall deal with both of these at an- other time.” He is opposed for the nomination by Col. Eben S. Draper. In a telegram to Senator Gerald P. Nye of the Senate Campaign Com- mittee, Croker charged that the Butler forces had expended half a million dollars in an effort to “steal this nom- ination from the people.

MONTGOMER' With delegates preparing to move on Montgomery, supporters of Senator J. Thomas Heflin and the independent ticket he heads, today completed ar- rangements for the State convention here Monday. ‘The convention formally will nomi- nate Senator Heflin to succeed himself, Hugh A. Locke of Birmingham for Governor, and Dempsey H. Powell of Greenville for lleutenant governor. ‘These three will oppose the regular Democratic ticket which John H. Bank- head of Jaspar heads for United States Senator, Judge B. M. Miller of Camden for Governor, and Hugh D. Merrill of Anniston for lieutenant governor. Leaders today declined to say whether any effort would be made to put a complete State ticket in the field. This they said would be decided by the con- vention. No estimates of the probable number of delegates to attend the convention were available, it being pointed out that the resolution callings the convention and adopted at the organization meet- ing in Birmingham July gave each county as many delegates as there are ballot boxes in the county. At the mass meetings of August 12, held in each county, some authorized one per- son to cast the vote for the entire county. There are approximately 2,900 ballot boxes in the States. A platform, rules and a party name are other questions to be decided by the | figh convention, which will convene at 10:30 a.m. to hear the keynote speaker, whotg | identity has not been made known, and for the appointment of committees. Arthur Chilton of Montgomery, cne >f the Jeaders in the Heflin- ment, said today that the primary ob- Ject will be “to elect these three men and the 'Democratic' party in Alabama, so the rule of exclusion can be revoked.” Mr. Chilton said the “rule of exclu- sion” was the measure adopted by the Democratic Executive Committee in December, 1929, which barred as candi- dates in the recent primary those per- sons who failed to support the Demo- cratic presidential ticket in 1928. Under this rule, Senator Heflin, for 34 years holder of an elective office as a member the party, and Tun- ning mates were barred from becoming candidates in the primary.
