The President had the support, however, of the regular Republican State organi- | zation.

In California the Roosevelt Demo- crats were early to organize. Roosevelt- for-President Clubs were established all |through the State. When Speaker | Garner was elected to his present office, | William Randolph Hearst, who pub- | lishes a string of newspapers in Cali- ' {fornia and elsewhere, declared for Garner for the Democratic nomination for President, and was very active in Garner's behalf through his newspapers. More recently William Gibbs McAdoo, ardent dry Democratic candidate for the presidential nomination in 1924, joined the Garner-for-President move- ment and is allied with Hearst today in support of the Speaker. Al {entry into the California race came still later, after Smith had an in February he was a receptive candidate for_the nomination. | _The hope of the Garner people in | California is that Roosevelt and Smith will split the wet vote in the State and leave the drys to vote for the Speaker. Mr. Garner has maintained a discreet sflence on the prohibition issue ever since he was mentioned for the presidential nomination. He voted against the submission of the eight- eenth amendment back in 1917, but since then he has voted dry in the House, supporting all enforcement legislation. Roosevelt Chance Enhanced. Looking at the race from the Roose- velt angle, the New York Governor' | opposition should be split between the | Garner and Smith camps, giving| | Roosevelt a better chance to win than | {if he were opposed merely by one of these candidates. Smith, a late entry into the race, | received 614,000 votes in California in | 1928, indicating a strong following there, although he was defeated by| President Hoover by upward of half This year there has| a million votes. been a larger registration of Demo- crats in California than ever before. The campaign in California has been | waged with great bitterness, particularly 88 between the supporters of Smith and Roosevelt. Delegates to the Democratic National Convention are selected today in pri- maries in Alabama and South Dakota. In both these States Roosevelt is ex- pected to add delegate strength to his following in the Democratic National Convention. In Alabama two slates of delegates at large have been put for- ward, one instructed for Roosevelt and the other uninstructed. The unin- structed delegate candidates have an- nounced their ogposnmn. however, to Alfred E. Smith, but have said they are t opposed to Roosevelt. HOOVER CARRIES MARYLAND. Leads France by Nearly 10,000 in Light Primary Voting. BALTIMORE, May 3 (#).—Joseph I. France, gentleman farmer, a United States Senator from Maryland a dozen years ago and aspirant for the Republi- can presidential nomination, has set- tled his home State argument with bP:asldent Hoover and emerged second st The President carried yesterday's preferential primary by nearly 10,000 votes on the basis of practically com- plete returns, gathered from one of the most apathetic contests in years. Unofficial tabulation from 1,262 vot- ing places out 1365 gave President Hoover 25,965, Prance 16,518 and an uninstructed delegation 1,275 votes. It was the first out-and-out contest be- ‘The apathy which retarded voting in the primary was brought about by the fact that Baltimore City had a local question which took State-wide atten- tion—repeal of the 200-year-old Sunday blue laws, which were swamped in an avalanche that surprised the most san- guine liberal. Former Representative Linwood L. Clark led State Senator Wallace Wil- liams, 23,418 to 15,984, for the Repub- lican senatorial nomination, but organi- zation forces, which backed Willlams, claimed they had carried enough coun- ties to assure their candidate the nomi- nation under the unit rule in the State convention, Senator Millard E. Tydings, the Dem- ocratic incumbent, was unopposed for rencmination. The two incumbent Representatives who had contests withstood the assaults made on them from within the party. Representative Stephen W. Gambrill overwhelmed John W. Klemm in the fifth district, the fourth time he has beaten him in & primary, and in the second district Representative William P. Cole led Edgar R. McShane heavily to gain renomination In the same district Edwin H. Pitcher the former holding but a 32-vote lead, with decision lying with precincts still unreported. Delegates to the Democratic and Re- publican State convention also were se- lected at yesterday's polling and will gather in Baltimore later this month | to take formal action on naming and | national convention in Chicago next month. The Democratic convention will take the mere formality of naming and in- structing 16 delegates for Gov. Albert | C. Ritchie.

STOKES SAMMONS IN BALANCE TODAY Real Test Seen in Tri-Cor- nered Fight in Cali- fornia. BY MARK SULLIVAN. ‘The California Democratic primary today will clairfy the race for the presi- dential nomination to a greater extent than is measured by the number of delegates involved. The 44 votes out of the 1,157 in the national convention will be important, but even more vital will be the effect of the California out- | come on Gov. Roosevelt's prestige. | Should Roosevelt win the California primary, and especially if he should win it decisively, it will be very difficult and almost impossible for the Democratic national leaders to withhold the presi- | dential nomination from him. If, how- | ever, Roosevelt loses California, his op- ponents will be encouraged to feel it is safe to oppose him to the end. Roosevelt’s opponents are saying that the mass of his delegates have come to him more or less by default as the re- sult of unopposed and informal indorse: men{ of him by local leaders in many States. They charge he has not proved | that he is a strong vote-getter among Democratic voters in contests against other candidates. If Roosevelt carries California this charge will be refuted. California is the first State in which | there has been a vigorously fought con- test with as many as three candidates | entered, Roosevelt, Smith and Garner. The facts about Roosevelt's fortunes | in contests against other aspirants are not conclusive. Roosevelt has fought such contests in seven States. He won overwhelmingly in North Dakota and | in Nebraska against Murray. He won | decisively in Wisconsin against Smith. | As to these States, Roosevelt’s oppo- nents say that Wisconsin and North Dakota are Republican States, which will not go Democratic anyhow. Roose- velt won overwhelmingly in a not very | serfously staged contest in Georgia, but that State is a kind of foster-home to Roosevelt. Roosevelt's opponents say it will go Democratic in the election regardless of who is the presidential candidate. Roosevelt won over Smith in Pennsylvania and decisively over | Smith in New Hampshire. Roosevelt can fairly point to these as signs of his strength among Democratic voters in Eastern States. Roosevelt was beaten by Smith in Massachusetts, but every Democratic politician understands that | that was in large part a fight between rival groups of State leaders. The outcome in California will simi- larly be influenced by the line-up of local State leaders. Garner is sup- ported by two such local influences as | Willlam 'G. McAdoo and William R. | Hearst with his widely circulated Cali- | fornia newspapers. Similar attach- ments of other local leaders to Smith | and to Roosevelt will influence the out- | come. Nevertheless much significance will be read into the relative votes | received by the three presidential aspi- | rants. The significance will be empha- | sized if the total vote is large. The | Democratic registration in California this year is exceptional, 847482. Roosevelt can lose California today and still win the presidential nomina- tion. To the group of national lead- ers opposing Roosevelt, however, Cali- fornia is a life-and-death matter. If Roosevelt should come out of California with a really decisive victory, the talk of withholding the nomination from Roosevelt will have difficulty in sur- viving. (Copyright, 1932.)

Levi, Baltimore, secre- | tary, and William H. Wright, Washing- | ton, treasurer. Baltimore was selected as the next meeting place of the asso- clation. Delivering the principal address at the association’s convention banquet last night, Merle Thorpe, editor of the Nation’s Business, told the jewelers that competition is the life-blood of modern business. The depression has served to sharpen competition, which brings about growth, the speaker declared, and new business methods have replaced old inefficient practices. Meyer D. Rothschild, another speaker at the banquet, discussed the relation of taxes to the jewelry industry. Roe Fulkerson was toastmaster.

J., May 3.—The Board of Bishops of the Metholst Epis- copal Church in their Episcopal letter to the general conference met the move- ment for the return of liquor control to the States today with a declaration in favor of national prohibition “There is no room in our national household for two antagonistic systems, one legalizing the liquor uaffic, the other outlawing it," the Episcopal mes- sage sald. “As a church we can follow no course except the one that will re- duce the consumption of beverage al- cokol to the minimum.

Your dentist always watches for pyorrhea—for he knows that half the adult teeth lost are due to that one gum dis- ease. The trouble with pyorrhea is that it may be undermining the structure of your gums and teeth for five or ten years, even longer, and you may not know you have it. Face this pyorrhea business frankly.
