FIGHT ON WOMEN INPRIVARY SCORED Chillum Club Defends Mrs. Browning for Commissioner. Vote Monday. BY GEORGE PORTER, Btaff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., September 6. —Despite conventional expressions of confidence from independent candidates and organization leaders, the outcome of Monday's primary voting in Prince Georges County appears highly prob- Tematical. Concluding a campaign that has been amazingly unspectacular, when com- with the political melodrama in ontgomery ~County, the Democrats have a baliot of 20 names, from which 14 nominees will be chosen, while the Republicans must chose 6 nominees from 10_candidates. Probably the most sensational inci- dent in the county’s rather drab pri- mary campaign came today, when an- nouncement was made that the Demo- cratic Woman's Club of Chillum District adopted & resolution at a special meet- ing in which it is claimed Mrs. Mary W. Browning, candidate for county com- missioner, is being opposed “because she is a woman.” Only Woman in Race. Mrs. Browning is the only woman in the primaries and the first of her sex ever to serve on the Board of Commis- sloners, having been appointed to the board last December. The Chillum_ resolution declared “it has been brought to our attention that one of the Democratic candidates for county commissioner who has not the indorsement of the Democratic organ- ization, is requesting voters of the coun- ty to refrain from voting for Mirs. Browning, because she is a woman, and to_vote for him instead.” It further requests all voters, “in view of Mrs. Browning's record as a county official and her 10 years' serv- ice as' a member of the Democratic State Central Committee, to pass upon her candidacy in a spirit of fair play.” Besides Mrs. Browning, the other Democratic organization candidates for county commissioner are Robert E. Brown, Francis H. Crown, Walter M. Grimes and Ormand W. Phair. Demo- cratic candidates for the board who are running independently are William P. Magruder and Thomas M. Miller. Democrats will select their nom- inees for Congress, House of Delegates, sheriff and States attorney, and all of these contests except the first named are expected to result in hard-fought ballot battles. In the race for Congress It is generally conceded that Representa- tive Stephan W. Gambrill will have lit- tle difficulty in being nominated for re- election over Dr. John William Klemm of Mount Rainier. ‘The fight for the nomination for State’s attorney will be one of the most stubborn of the primary, Alan Bowie, b;&n‘ THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SEPTEMBER 7, 1930—PART ONE.’ G. 0. P. TO OPEN INFORMATION BUREAU FOR Trained Vol ABSENT VOTERS unteers Will Give Data With Reference to Registering and Voting by Mail. Under the direction of the Repub- lican State Committee in and for the District of Columbia, the League of Re- publican Organizations will open an in- formation bureau for absent voters to- morrow in rooms 208-9, Second National Bank Building, 1331 G street. The bureau will serve as a clearing house of information for 65,000 Federal emplo] and thousands of others in the trict who_are eligible to vote in the several States. It will be operated by a corps of trained volunteers, most of whom were associated in the same work in the presidential campaign of 1928, who will give information with reference to registering and voting by mail or otherwise. Both day andy evening service will be maintained, the office hours being from 8 am. to 10 pm. The telephone is list- ed under the name of the Republican State Committee, Metropolitan 1511. Changes in the laws of several of the States, which were made by the 1929-30 Legislatures, are important to every voter of those States. In Ohio the voters can no longer register by mail. Any resident of that State desiring to vote November 4, 1930, must go home and register in person on one of the three appointed day, October 2. 10 and 11, or, if he is to be absent on all of these days, he may register at any time before the three appointed days at the office of the Board orf Elections. The registration made in 1930 will be per- manent unless cancelled for cause, and the absent voter may thereafter vote by mail. There is no registration at any time under the new law in cities of less than 16,000 inhabitants. The Maryland law has been so amended that, except in Baltimore County and Prince Georges County, no declaration of intent need be flled with the Circuit Court one year before eligi- bility to vote as heretofore. The only requirement is that the voter file an affidavit before the Registration Board when in session to the effect that he has lived in the State for one year. The Tlinois law has been amended so that the affidavit of registration may be sworn to before a notary public in- stead of befol‘eut_:; clerk of a court, as reviously required. i In California the vote-by-mail law has been extended to include those cit- izens in the civil, congressional, mili- tary or naval service of the United States or of the State. In Pennsylvania the courts have held that the counties had no authority to impose an occupation tax on a Federal employe. Consequently, when the Fed- eral employe was not the owner of taxable property, he became disfran- chised for the reason that the consti- tution of the State requires that in or- der to be eligible to vote one must have paid within two years a State or county tax assessed at least two months and paid at least one month before election. The 1929-30 session of the Pennsyl- vania Legislature passed an act author- izing counties to assess a poll tax on in | Federal employes and fixing the amount the last few weeks. One Democrat is waging an inde- pendent battle for a place on the party's House of Delegates ticket. He is Harry T. Jenkins. The organization candi- dates for the six seats in the House are William H. Anglin, J. Guy Bell, Wil- liam Edward Clifion, William Franklin Keys, Kent Roberts Muikin and Charles C. Marbury. Democratic Opponents. ‘The Democratic battle for the nomi- nation for sheriff finds James W. Rogers, organization candidate, by P. Frank Tippett. The Republican ballot, unusually short, lists only the ecandidates for sheriff and the five positions on the Board of County Commissioners. Every man on the ballot is running inde- pendently, in theory at least, for the party crganization has formally an- nounced it will work to “elect not select” candidates. ‘There are two men in the running for sheriff, J. Bernard Beall of Browns Station and W. Curtis Hopkins of Hails vall, George Finger, William A.

By the Associated Press. DETROIT, September 6.—Contests for the Republican nominations for 10 major offices and. for 2 Democratic congressional nominations will be de- cided by the voters of Michigan in the State-wide primary next Tuesday. The Republican nomination in each race is regarded as practically equivalent to election. ‘The campaigns have been devoid of general issues, except in the race for United States Senator, where Senator James Couzens’ opponent, Chase S. Osborn, former governor, has dwelt upon “party regularity,” and in a few congressional districts where the prohi- bition question has been raised. Couzens has accepted the brand of “independent and irregul and neither he nor Osborn has discussed the wet- dry issue. Osborn was described by the Michi- gan Anti-saloon League as a “staunch prohibitionist,” but he was not specfi- cally indorsed. Couzens' position is that the prohibition amendment is a a mistake, but that he will support en- forcement so long as it is in effect. Three-Cornered Contest. ‘The contest for the Republican nomi- nation for governor, while a three- cornered one, has been, in effect, a re- newal of the ancient feud between Alex J. Groesbeck, three times governor, and the incumbent, Fred W. Green, who beat him four years ago and now is retiring at the end of his second term. Groesbeck is running for the office, and Green has given his support to Wilber g{. Brucker, attorney general of the tate. The third candidate in this race is Judge Edward J. Jeffries of Detroit, a Democrat until this year, when he de- clined the gubernatorial nomination of that party. Candidates Unopposed. The Democratic candidates for Sen- ator and Governor have no opposition in their own party. They are, re- spectively, Thomas A. E. Weadock and ‘William A. Comstock, both of Detroit. Four candidates seek the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor, the incumbent, Luren D. Dickinson, having the indorsement of the Anti- Saloon League. Republican incumbents in all 13 con- gressional districts are seeking re-elec- tion and seven of them have opposition in_the primary. ‘The prohibition issue has received the most attention in the sixth district, where Grant M. Hudson is running for renomination with a strong indorse- ment from the Anti-Saloon League. He has three opponents, State Senator Seymour H. Person, Mrs. Maud Slocum Moross and Robert H. Cook. The sixth district is the largest in population and voting 'strength in the United States, incorporating several large cities and part of Detroit. Its population is es- timated at 1,300,000. ENEMIES OF LONG NOW MAY A M Two Men Who Were to Sue Governor Located at New Orleans. By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, September 6.—While sheriffs over the State were looking for Sam Irby and James Terrell, who were arrested by State officers and rushed out of Shreveport early Thursday be- fore they could file contemplated suits against Gov. Huey P. Long, they were located today in New Orleans. In addition, reports were current in Long circles that the two men might appear at tonight's rally to boost Gov. Long’ didacy for the United States | Senate against Senator Joseph E. Rans- | dell and make speeches from the plat- form indorsing the Governor. If they do this, it would represent a political coup of Long leaders, as these men expressed bitterness toward the State administration and the Governor gerwnnlly before they disappeared, | andcuffed, from a Shreveport hotel | and remained in seclusion until toda; Besides going to Shreveport to sue the Governor, they had attended a private hearing before the district judge at Baton Rouge, before whom Irby made serious accusations against the State administration. At a habeas corpus hearing in the State Distrigt Court at Shreveport to-| day, State officers who arrested the two men in the hotel testified that they no longer had custody of the men, as they nad turned them over to Jefferson Par- sh authorities on a warrant charging plifering of State files. The petition was denied in Shreveport because of a legal | flaw, and another petition was pre-| pared. In application for a Federal writ de- manding that Irby and Terrell be pre- sented in open court, Assistant Attor- ney General E. R Schowalter charged Gov. Long, District Attorney John E. Fleury of Jefferson Parish and the ar- resting officers with conspiracy to kid- nap the men. It was reported that Irby returned to his home here, but the, woman who answered the door there this afternoon denied all knowledge of Irby’s whereabouts. While neither Irby nor Terrell could be reached, it was learned from good authority that both of them were in the city. 10 HURT WHEN BUS OVERTURNS IN INDIANA Others Receive Minor Bruises When Driver Loses Control While Making Curve. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Ind., September 6.—Ten passengers were injured and others re- ceived minor bruises when a west- bound Colonial bus turned over today on State road 56, 10 miles east of here. | The motor coach was traveling from Detroit to New Orleans. The driver, Mack Klein, Cincinnati, suffering from internal injuries and ssibly & broken leg, is thought to be rl'? a critical condition. Eight of the injured were brought to the King's Daughters’ Hospital here. The huge bus lunged off the road at a curve when the driver lost control of it in ofl and loose gravel. All of the 35 passengers remained inside. TREASURE HUNT SLOWED BREST, France, September 6 (#).— Rough seas made the work of divers uekfn( to salvage $5,000,000 of treasure from the sunken liner, Egypt, difficult and dlngmul today.

By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., September 6.—Geor- gia Democrats will make their party nominations next Wednesday by a sys- tem similar in many respects to the | electoral college. The county is the unit. Each of the | 161 counties has twice as many unit votes as representatives in the Lower | House of the Legislature. The unit vote | of the county goes to the candidate | getting a plurality of the popular vote therein. Candidates for Senator and Governor must get majority of the 414 unit votes in the State to be nominated. For other State offices the candidate who received a plurality of the unit votes wins. Congressional candidates also are lected by the unit system in their re- spective districts. Willlam J. Harris, senior United States Senator, is opposed for renom- ination by John M. Slaton, former Gov- ernor. Slaton has attacked Harris' vote against the nomination of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina to be As- sociate Justice of the United States Su- preme Court. He has also campaigned against the World Court. Harris has defended his vote against Parker and set out his record in the Senate in ask- axz the voters to give him another rm, ‘There are five candidates for Gov- ernor. Only three of Georgia's twelve Rep- resentatives in Congress are opposed. | Robert C. W. Ramspeck of the fifth dis- | trict, and youngsst member of the del- egation in point of service, is opposed by Allen M. Pierce of Atlanta. Thomas M. aell DLlhe ninth, dean of the del- egation, [ F‘osed by Judge John Wood, and w1fi m C. Lankford of the eleventh has opposition in Dr. A. Williams. ‘There are forty-two candidates for the thirteen State offices. In addition, members of the Legislature are to be nominated. ' ‘The Democratic primary in Georgia is equivalent to election. CANADA PERPLEXED | BY LIQUOR RUNNING Problems of Vessels on Lakes Com- | plicated by International Law. By the Associated Press. OTTAWA, September 6.—Solution of perplexing difficulties presented by rum running by Canadian vessels on the Great Lakes is being sought by officials of the Department of National Revenue. The problems, which arose with re- cent enactment of a law forbidding clearance of liquor cargoes for the United States from Canadian ports, are complicated by the sanction given in international law to the breaking of bulk cargoes in transit. Some officials advocate customs regu- lations to prevent ships clearing a liquor cargo from one Canadian port to another from disposing of their cargo to rum runners in Canadian waters. It | was pointed out that this might be | considered an infringement of pro- vincial laws respecting the sale of liquor within a province. The question of vessels clearing from Miguelon, & Prench island, for a United States port on the Great Lakes and disposing of liquor in United States wa- ters is considered a matter for United States authorities. BULB DUTY HITS HOLLAND U. S. Envoy Cites $6 Tariff on Plants as Chief Dutch Grievance. NEW YORK, September 6 . Holland's grievance against the United States is the increase from $2 to $6 in the tariff on plant bulbs, said G. J. Diekema, United States Minister to Holland, today, on his arrival on the liner Statendam. Orop production this year was ex- ceptional, he said, and there was lit- tle unemployment. He described the condition the country as being ‘“‘prosperous on the whole.” Golden Jubilee Teachers VFeted. ROMNEY, W.

BLEASE TOLEARN FATEON TUESDAY South Carolina Prepares to Elect Senator and Governor in Heated Races. By the Associated Press. COLUMBIA, 8. C., September 6.— With the fate of Senator Cole L. Blease at stake, South Carolina Democrats will go to the voting booths Tuesday to make nominations for the United States Senate and for governor in a run-off primary. Nomination is equivalent to election. Senator Blease, veteran of two score years of more or less stormy poltical battle, is again opposed by James F. Byrnes of Spartanburg, formerly Rep- resentative who came within 2,300 votes of winning the nomination six years ago. The two survived the first pri- mary of August 26, in which a third candidate, Leon W. Harris, Anderson solicitor, was eliminated. Survivors of eight original aspirants for the governorship, two Spartanburg attorneys, are fighting it out for the nomination for the post of chief ex- ecutive. Solicitor Ibra C. Blackwood, who ran second four years ago, is op- posed by Olin Johnson, youthful legis- lator and World War Veteran making his first bid for State-wide suffrage. Since the first primary, the four candidates have ,waged vigorous cam- paigns throughout the State. Senator Blease, asking renomination on his record, enlivened the last days with a charge that money was being used freely to defeat him. Byrnes has con- fined his public addresses to farm relief and allied economic topics, without ref- erence to his opponent. In the gubernatorial race, Johnston has made the main issue the question of continuing the State’s $65,000,000 high- way program launched this year. He repeatedly has pledged himself not to allow the issuance of any further bonds without a popular vote, if he is elected. Blackwood has taken the position that the validity of the bonds has been approved by the highest courts of the State and Nation and that it will not be within the province of the governor JRITS DIHEREE ONWARPROPOSAL Plan for Allying Neutrals Against Billigerents Raises Dissension. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 6—Pro- posals to strengthen the covenant of the League of Nations and the Briand- Kellogg pact in their outlawry of war by allying neutral nations against a bel- ligerent country, today caused dissen- sion among delegates to the conference of the International Law Association.

This proposal was considered in con- nection with a second resolution, adopt- ed by the Neutrality Committee of the association in May, decreeing that among signatories of the Briand- Kellcgg agreement a neutral state which continued friendly intercourse with an aggressive nation would vio- late international law. The resolution was tabled to await the next meeting of the conference. Edward A.

ONEILL GETS DRY INDORSEMENT Executives Say Mrs. McCor- mick Appears to Have Be- trayed Organization. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 6.—Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill today received the indorsement of the Anti-Saloon League of Ilinois in her candidacy for the United States Senate as an independent dry. Over the protest of several dry leaders, the league executives urged their fol- lowers to work for Mrs. O'Neill, saying Ruth Hanna McCormick, the Repub- lican nominee whom they supported in the primary against Senator Charles B. Deneen, appeared to have betrayed the drys who helped nominate her. The candidacy of Mrs. O'Neill, & former Republican member of the State Legislature, thus became the focal point of political discussion in Illinois with many and varied predictions as to who will the votes she gets. Lewis Sees Loss of Votes. James Hamilton Lewis, Democratic nominee and avowedly wet, said her “nomination by the Republican pro- hibition party means a distinct lcss of | voes to me.” Lewis said thousands of dry Democrats, who would have sup- ported him on other issuss would now vote for Mrs. O'Neill. Mrs. McCormick, who has agreed to abide on the wet question by the decision of the voters in a prohibition referendum, said Mrs. O'Neill's candi- dacy was “calculated to split the vote against the Democratic candidate.” A. 8. Cuthbertson, dry leader in the State Senate and officer of the Anti- saloon me. said’ votes for Mrs. O'Neill d be the same as votes for the wet candidate. The editor of a downstate dry news- paper, D. W. Grandon of Sterling, pro- tested to the Anti-saloon League that “if you do defeat Mrs. McCormick, you will not elect Mrs. O'Neil!, but will elect former Senator Liwis, who fs wetter than wet.” The Anti-saloon League announced last week that it was ready to sup- port any “worthy” dry candidate, but the protests of Cuthbertson, Grandon and others had put its position some- what in doubt. Urge Vote for Mrs. O'Neill. The statement issued today, how- ever, was unqualifiedly in rupport of \}MH. O'Neill. “We urge all the drys in Illinols and all citizens who stand for high ideals in Government and want clean litics to give Mrs. O'Nefll their and unqualified support, and at they use their influence with to promote her election,” said the statement signed by league execu- tives, including F. Scott McBride, na- tional superintendent. “Of the two major party rominees, l!:le hfil:\:tspok!nly wet and the other neutral. “If the Republican party candidate had made the statement before the primary election which was made at the Springfleld convention that she would ignore her own professed con- victions on- the subject of prohibition and be guided by the results of a politi- cal referendum, she would rot have received the votes of ‘hiousands of and would not have been nominated.” DROUGHT SUFFERERS REPORTED IN ARKANSAS Memphis Red Cross Chapter Fore wards Petition for Help Brought by Lepanto Landowners.
