HARRIS NAMED FOR THIRD TERM Georgia Gubernatorial Nomi- nation Between Russell and Carswell in Doubt. Rt By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, September 11.—Senator William J. Harris was renominated for | & third term, and Richard B. Russell, | Jr, and George H. Carswell waged a| nip-and-tuck battle for the guberna- torial nomination in yesterday's Demo- | cratic primary, with the result still in doubt today Harris _overwhelmed former ~Gov. John M. Slaton, rolling up 394 county | unit votes to 4 for Slaton in 153 of | Georgia’s 161 counties, The popular vote was Harrie, 14,885: Slaton, 23880.

Under the Georgia system the coun- ties must have two unit votes for each | of their representatives in the State! Legislature. The successful candidates | both for Governor and United States | Senator must have majority of the | unit votes. There was every indication today that a second or run-off primary between the two high men, apparently Russell and Carswell, would be neces- sary October 1 to determine the winner | of the gubernatorial nomination. Only 3 of Georgia’s 12 Representa- | tives had opposition. Representativi Robert C. W. Ramspeck of the fifth di tirct and W. C. Lankford of the elev- enth had long leads over their op- onents, Two counties gave Judge John vood a slight margin over Represent- ative Thomas S. Bell, but these re- turns were not considered decisive, and inclement weather hampered the re-} porting of other precincts. $5,000,000 Deficit Issue. The gubernatorial campaign centered around ways and means of meeting a deficit of $5,000,000 in the State treas- ury, with Carswell, present secretary of State, advocating a plan of temporarily diverting ‘a part of automobile license tag revenue from highways to apply on the debt. Russell, 32-3 -old Speaker of the House of Representatives and son of the chief justice of the Supreme Court, championed economies’ in the governmental machinery, tax revision and text books to pupils at actual cost. The Democratic nomination in Geor- @la is tantamount to election. DEMOCRAT SCORES REPUBLICAN RULE Connecticut Convention Keynoter | Finds Corruption Tainting Nine Years in Office. By the Associated Prese. EASTERN POINT, Conn., September 11.—Full responsibility for the Nation's economic ills was placed upon the Re- publican .party last night by Homer S. Cummings, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, in de- livering the keynote address at the opening of the Democratic State con- wvention here. Mr. Cummings, in reviewing nine years of Republican rule, which he | found “tainted with corruption,” said the partv in power had failed to re- deem campaign pledges, and urged a sweeping change of regime. ‘The new tariff law, he asserted, “has increased the burden upon the back of the taxpayer; it has impaired the pur- chasing power of the farmer; it has| dealt industry a staggering blow at a eriod when it could least endure it, and as produced ominous reverberations in every country with which we had built ug & friendly relationship and a favor- able trade balance.” The convention today will adopt a platform and name a State ticket. Prof. Wilbur L. Cross, who retired July 1 as dean of Yale Graduate School, will be named for Governor. ROOSEVELT URGES STATE RUM CONTROL U HADLEY RACE Renominated NATOR HARRIS. FRANK PRIVILEGES HELD USED WISELY Congressmen Do Not Take| Advantage of Free Postage, Tilton Says. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, Mich, September 11.— Members of Congress do not take undue advantage of their franking privileges, Prederick A. Tilton, third Assistant Post- master General, declared in an address here yesterday before the National As- sociation of Postmasters, “If rated at the regular rates, con- gressionally franked mail would produce in revenue less than one million dollars per year, which is less than 2 per cent Jf the true postal deficit,” he said. “And all free mailings, if rated at regular postal rates, would produce only $9,- $00,000.” ‘Tilton sketched the history of the congressional frank back to pre-Con- stitution days in the Continental Con- gress. It has been enjoyed ever since, he said, except for a bried period after the Civil War, when it was so abused that all previous free postage laws were repealed. Present-day Congressmen, however, are “careful scrupulously to observe the law governing exercise of their franking privilege,” Tilton said. The privilege of personal free mail, Tilton said, began with an act of 1797 making postage-free mail sent or re- celved by George Washington. Former Presidents enjoyed franking privileges until 1863, he said, but widows of ex-Presidents enjoy it to the present time, the list now including Frances F. Cleveland (Preston), Mary Lord Har- n, Edith Carow Roosevelt, Edith Bolling Wilson and Helen H. Taft. J REMAINS IN DOUBT Representative Maintains Narrow Lead Over Peterson in Wash- ington Primary. By the Associated Press. SBATTLE, September 11.—The out- come of the race between the veteran Representative, Lin H. Hadley, and Payson Peterson for the Republican congressional nomination in the sec- ond Washington district still remained in doubt today. With 526 of the district’s 584 pre- cincts counted, the vote in Tuesday's primary election stood at 17,394 for Hadiey and 16,631 for Peterson. The victory of Ralph A. Horr, mili- tant wet, over Representative John F. Miller, who espoused the dry cause de- spite the modification plank adopted by the Republican State convention, showed a margin of 3,713 votes in the firs, district. Only one precinct re- mained uncounted. As Republican nominee, Horr will oppose Charles G. Heifner, wet Democrat, for Representa- tive in November. Representative Albert Johnson, chair- man of the House Immigration Com- mittee. won his third district race for Republican renomination over John T. McCutcheon by more than 5000 votes, New York Governor Breaks Two- Year Official Silence Prohibition Question. on By the Associated Press. ALBANY, Y., September 11.— Gov. Roosevelt yesterday broke a two- year official silence concerning the prohibition question to announce him- self for repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment and substitution of a Federal statute granting each State the right to_control the sale of intoxicants, In a letter to United States Senator Robert F. Wagner, made public here the governor included the subject of mebmrm among the topics he be- leved should be stressed at the Demo- cratic State convention in Syracuse the latter part of this month and added he was “positive in saying that there must be some definite assurance that by no possibility at any time or in any place the old saloon can come back.” The governor urged that not only should States be given control of liquor but that there should be ‘definite recognition of the extension of home rule to the lower subdivisions of gov- emment—in other words, a recognition of the right of cities, villages or towns by popular vote to prohibit the sale of intoxicants within their own borders.” The eighteenth amendment, the go ernor said, “has not furthered the cau of a greater temperance in our popula- tion.” ‘The announcement was regarded with #pecial interest in view of the frequent recent mentioning of his name in con- nection with the presidential candidacy for 1932.

C., September 11.— Prospects of a demand for a recount in the closely contested Governor's race overshadowed the apparent defeat of Senator Cole L. Blease by James F.

By the Associated Press. DETROIT, September 11. — After years of unsuccessful efforts, the wets|heads be finally have carried trophies of conquest from the political battlefields of “dry Michigan.” One clear-cut victory was marked up for the opponents of prohibition in the State-wide primary Tuesday. Repre- sentative Grant M. Hudson, former superintendent of the Michigan Anti- Saloon League, was unseated in the largest district in the United States, de- cisively beaten by State Senatcr Sey- mour H. Person, who was given the sup- port of wet organizations. Cramton Behind. In another district, known as one of the “driest” in the country in past campaigns, Representative Louis C. Cramton, dean of the prohibition lead- ers of the Lower House of Congress, will not know until the official count is completed whether he was defeated by a man who had wet support. A correct- ed tabulation of returns from the 194 precincts in this rural district today showed Cramton's opponent, Jesse P. Woleott, running 135 votes ahead. Cramton had 25,515 and Wolcott 25,650. ‘Wolcott, youthful prosecuting attor- ney of St. Clair County, advocated a national referendum on the prohibition issue. Person’s plurality in the sixth district probably will amount to 15,000 or more on the final official count of the 690 precincts. His victory was made pos- sible by a heavy vote in the industrial area around Detroit and Pontiac. Hud- son carried three other out-state coun- ties. Two others in the race trailed far behind. Practically complete returns in other races in the primary today showed that Senator James Couzens defeated his op- ponent for nomination for the Senate, Chase 8. Osborn, former governor, by about 250,000 majority. Brucker Is Nominated. Wilbert M. Brucker, attorney general, won the Republican nomination for Governor of ' Michigan over Alex J.

The poll from 3312 of the_ State's 3317 voting precincts gave Brucker 369,577, Groesbeck 364,735. Judge Edward J. Jeffries of the Recorder’s Court of Detroit polled 100,- 544 votes in these precincts, getting most of them in Detroit, the Groesbeck stronghold. With the exception of Hudson and Cramton, all of the incumbent Repre- sentatives in Congress were renominated.

LEWIS LAUNCHES SENATE CAMPAIGN Farm Relief, Unemployment and Prohibition Are Made Race Issues. By the Assoclated Press. JACKSONVILLE, IIl, September 11. —James Hamilton Lewis, Democrat, launched his campaign for a return to the United States Senate from Illinois today, emphasizing almost equally as issues farm rellef, unemployment and prohibition. In & speech today the Democratic nominee urged return of liquor regula- tion to the States, immediate Govern- ment loans to banks in needy farm communities and work for the unem- ployed on Government construction projects. He also advocated return of the national income tax revenues to the States from which they were col- lected. Lewis is opposed by four other candi- dates—Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, who defeated Senator Charles S. De- neen, incumbent, for the Republican nomination; Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill, an independent dry; Louis Warner of Chenoa, ‘also an independent dry, and C. Emmett Smith of Chicago, independ- ent, whose platform has not been an- nounced, Mrs. McCormick’s Stand. Mrs. McCormick has announced she would abide by the verdict of the elec- torate In the wet-dry referendum in November. Mrs. O'Neill has the sup- port of the Anti-Saloon League. Lewis was sent to the Senate as Illinois’ rep- resentative in 1913. He was defeated for re-election by the husband of his present Republican opponent, the late Seator Medill McCormick. Making only brief reference to his opponents, the Democratic nominee lauded Mrs. O'Neill for “commendable courage and noble frankness” in her dry stand and accused Mrs. McCormick of offering nothing to take the place of national temperance laws in the event the verdict of the referendum is for repeal. ““We of the Illionis citizenship democ- racy demand State control of prol tion and temperance,” he said. “We demand the national prohibition acts of law or Constitution, which for 10 years have stood in obstruction of these rights of citizenship and defeat of all temperance, be modified or repealed to any extent necessary to return the priv- ilege to the States to fulfill the spirit of the eighteenth amendment.” Scores “Eastern Farm Enemies.” Blaming the plight of the farmer on what he termed the “reactionary and Tory policies of the Eastern enemies of the West,” he said: “There is no de- fined issue between the Democratic and Republican parties in Illinols. The real duty of the day is for the earnest men and women of all parties to find the remedy for all and start the relief.” | “The unemgloyed." he said, “ought by order of the President and cabinet put at once to work in the constructing of the many buildings now provided by law for soldiers—hospitals and comfort refuges—also for post offices and court and custom houses, bridges and Government wharves and water- ways.

By the Associated Press. LINTON, Ind., September 11.—United States. Senator James E. Watson, in a speech prepared for delivery at the Dpcnlnf of the Republican Fall cam- paign in Indiana here today, declared that President Hoover and his party have redeemed every piedge and promise made to the voters in 1928. He defended the present tariff act at length, and asser that the adminis- tration had done much toward bringing relief to the farmers. In addition, Sen- ator Watson said, the party had dealt quickly and successfully with the stock market collapse of last October, the wheat surplus and the drought. ‘The Senate Republican leader denied that the tariff act had anything to do with the present decline in prices, and placed the responsibility on world-wide depression, ““We can neither foresee nor legislate against a collapse in the price of stocks, or a widespread and disastrous drought, or an economic depression that em- braces the whole earth, and, but for i such sudden, unexpected and inescap- able catastrophes, we would be enjoying |our customary degree of prosperity,” Senator Watson said. Henry Ford, Detroit automobile man- ufacturer, and Alfred P.

By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 11.— Wet delegates came to the Republican State convention today determined to force the prohibition question to the fore despite the opposition of -party leaders. Notwithstanding that their keynote speaker, Senator Simeon D. Fess, Re- publican national chairman, has said prohibition is not an issue unless the Democrats make it so, proponents of repeal were expected to make st efforts to place some definite declaration on the question in the party platform. Those opposed to the eighteenth amendment were heartened by the decla. ration yesterday in Cleveland of Ni tional Committeeman Maurice Maschke that he favors a State referendum on the subject. Maschke said he would not bring the matter up himself in defer- ence {0 Senator Fess. ‘The fight for a prohibition stand was expected to be led by State Senator Joseph Ackerman of Cleveland, who de- clared he would carry the fight to the convention floor if the Platform Com- mittee refused to handle the subject | other than contemplated by the lead- | ers—a declaration in favor of enforce- ment of all laws. Ackerman said he would have the support of a number of delegates in his fight for a plank declar- ing in favor of referendum, repeal or modification. Virtually Ignores Prohibition, Steadfastly maintaining Mis position ‘ that prohibition is not an issue in the coming political campaign, Senator Fess | Virtually ignored the subject i his keynote speech. His only mention of prohibition was in summing up activities of the Hoover ‘ administration in reorganizing govern- | mental machinery and appointment of | “the highest available personnel to in- | sure greater efficiency in the admin- | istration and enforcement of law by the | appointment of a commission for the | study and recommendations of better means of enforcing the eighteenth | amendment and all other laws.” The Senator's keynote address was based solely upon activities of the na- tional administration which he said had redeemed all pledges made in the Kansas City platform on which it went into power. Two of these in particular, the tariff law and farm relief legisla~ tion, were stressed. “The longest-vmoned policy of Gov- ernment aid to assist the farmer to turn his buying market into a selling mar- | ket was announced with a board of |lmgle (fovers and adequate funds to e the law effective,” Senator Fess said with reference to farm relief. added that the tariff act *j greatest protection to agriculture yet proposed in the form of law.” Protects Cripple Industries.

Asserting that the party ‘“never was | so united as it is today,” the Governor predicted that the November vote will add Ohio’s indorsement to the adminis- | tration of President Hoover, who, he said. had “inspired by constructive | leadership,” and whose ‘‘courage, ca- | pacity and fidelity in meeting the 't responsibility without regard to political expediency entitled him to the con- t.l‘nued confidence of the American peo- ple.” Declaring his personal and official position on prohibition as well known, | the Governor said: “I am for prohibi- | tion and I stand for law enforcement. | So long as I am Governor, it will con- | tinue to be the fixed policy of my ad- ministration to enforce the prohibition laws as well as all other State Every Sataaran nday $1.75 Round Trip Baltimore Tickets Good on All Trains Saturday and Sunday, Return Limited to Last Train Sunday Night Express Trains Every Half Hour on the Hour and Hal f Hour 80 Minutes—Heart of Baltimore to Heart of Washington $1.00 to Round Trip Annapolis Tickets good on all trains Friday, Saturday and Sunday, return limited to PRESIDENT’S C Annapolis, Sept. 12 an Evening Events off U. last train Sunday night UP REGATTA d 13, Afternoon and S.
