NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1930. e ————— North Carolina Assumes Aspect - Of Battleground as Two Major Parties Strive for Supremacy Democrats Hope to Roll Up Large Majority to Clear Up Existing Doubts. New York, OQct. 20 (UP)—North Carolina, which two years ago went republican for the first time in dec- ades, has become a battleground of the two major parties once again. Democrats, having defeated Sen- ator Furnifold M. Simmons at the primaries largely because he belted their party’s ticket at the presiden- | tial election, on November 4 hope to 10ll up such a majority for their candidates that there will be no doubt left as to which party con- trols the state. They are predicting victory for Josiah W. Balley, their candidate for the senate, over seorge Pritchard the republican nominee, by 100,000 votes and claim they will win back the two seats in congress lost to the republicans in the Hoover victory of 1928, Republicans, reportedly strong support from the national committee, are fighting hard to maintain their gains in North Caro- lina. These gains were hailed in 1928 as having more significance than the mere winning of a state. They were pointed to by republicans as meaning a break in the solil south. If the republicans can hold in of- fice their two congressmen from North Carolina and win or even make a close contest in the senator- ial race, they will look to 1932 with high hopes. Party Fight Staged In the primary more than 300,000 democratic and only 40,000 repubii- can votes were cast but those figurcs gave no measure of relative strength within the state. The democratic vote was stimulated by the Bailey- Simmons contest. for control of the party and the senatorial nomination. In the republican ramks there was little at issue to bring out the vote. Bailey, who is counted as consid- erable of an orator in his native state, is making a thorough-going stumping tour aimed to bring out as large a democratic vote as pos- sible. Industrial and economic de- pression, the tariff, and farm relief are his main points of attack as he attempts to show the electorate that it made a mistake in giving Mr. Hoover a majority over Smith in 1928, Congressman Pritchard, who abandoned his seat in the house of representatives to become republi- can candidate for the senate, also is stumping the state. He is de- fending the administration of Presi- dent Hoover but is being harried somewhat by the failure of the sen- ate to confirm the nomination of Judge John M. Parker for the su- preme court. Parker, one of the leading jurists of North Carolina, was appointed a supreme court jus- tice by Mr. Hoover but was turned down by the senate and Pritchard’s opponents are making capital of it as evidence supporting their claim that it is impossible for North Caro- lina to gain anything from a repub- lican administration. In four congressional districts brisk contests are in progress, with the democrats leading the attack in hopes of regaining a complete dem- ocratic congressional delegation. Tn the fifth district which went democratic in 1928 by less than 100 votes, Frank M. Hancock, democrat, is opposed by John F. Reynolds, re- publican. Major Charles Hanley Stedman, democrat, who carried the district two years ago, died recent- ly, the democratic nomination fall- ing to Hancock. The district always had been democratic by a slender margin. The seventh district also is the battle ground for a strenuous con- test where Walter Lambeth, another young democrat and a manufacturer of Thomasyville, is opposing Colin C. Spencer. Textile Strike Aspect In the ninth district, which in- cludes the Charlotte-Gastonia tex- tile mill region, the democrats are fighting to return Major A. L. Bul- winkle of Gastonia who was defeat- ed by Charles Jonas, republican, in 1928. Jonas again is the republican candidate. This contest is compli- cated by the fact that Bulwinkle won the dislike of leaders of th- 1929 textile mill strike because of his efforts.in behalf of the textile mill owners. Communists have plac. ed a candidate in the field -as a ges- ture directed chiefly against Bul- ‘winkle. President Hoover's recent trip to the south for the Kings Mountain battlefield celebration, took him in- to this district and at Charlotte he made a brief appearance on the rear-platform of his train, an inci- dent which is believed to have help- ed Jonas materially. Another sharp contest is in the tenth district where Pritchard, now republican candidate for the senate, defeated Zebulon Weaver democrat, in 1928, Brownlow Jackson, of Hendersonville, former republican state chairman, is the republican candidate and Weaver is again car- rying the banner for the democrats. Political observers within the stato feel certain that Bailey will carry the senatorship and that democrats will win in nine of the state’s 10 congressional districts. In one, the ninth, they look for a close contest with a possibility of Jonas, republican, winning. with SUES FOR COMMISSION Suit for $500, of which $300 is al- leged to be commission due to Da- vid Kaplan of Hartford for pro- perty that he sold for John A.

LOUISIANA FEELS EARTH TREMORS { Several Injured When Worship- pers Rush From Church New Orleans, Oct. 20 (P—South- | eastern Louisiana, including New {Orleans and Baton Rouge, reported the first known earth tremors in the state’'s history Sunday. No serious damage resulted. A resilient cradle of alluvial salt and moist loam, 2,300 feet deep un- | derlying the region affected, ~was | credited by scientific ~ authorities | with softening the tremors, which | nevertheless were sufficiently strong to throw scores into a panic. The only injuries reported were at Morgan Clty, where worshippers in |a Catholic' church, secing the walls | ot the church sway, made a hurried dash for exits. Numbers of the con- gregation suffered bruises or scratch- es. The quake occurred between 6:15 and 6:30 a. m. At Pilot town, at the mouth of the Mississippi river, sleeping residents said shaken out of bed. Professor J. Adair Lyon, head of the physics department at New- comb college said the gradual fad- ing out of the tremors in northerly, easterly and westerdly directions probably indicated the vibrations came from a disturbance beneath |the Gulf of Mexico several hundred | miles from land. NEW CLOCK TELLS HOW HIND GROMS Bones Used in Defermining Youth’s Mental Ability Cleveland, Oct. 20 (A—A new “time clock,” a sort of ‘Alice in Wonderland” affair, was recom- mended Saturday at the conference of scientists on adolescence here, as a standard to take back to their laboratories for judging human growth, and mental and physical de- fects. The dial of the “time clock” is marked off by the bones of the hu- man skeleton, they were told by re- search workers of the Brush Foun- dation and Western Reserve Univer- sity under whose auspices the con- ference is held. Normal growth of e bones is definite at definite iods of time, and to a certain ex- tent bones reflect mental and phy- sical defects, it was said. Time from ordinary clocks and calendars fails in its customary role as a standard of human develop- ment, Dr. R. E. Scammon, professor of anatomy, University of Chicago, said. There is no uniform growth with time, he added, the bones lagging at certain times and then speeding rapidly at others in de- velopment. “The personality of the individual reflects not only himself and his ex- perience, but also the nature and experience of his family, nationality, race and species, Dr. Louis Casa- major, senior physician of the Neu- rological Institute, New York, said. He said that personality is not purely a human characteristic. | “How far down in the animal king- dom it may exist, T am unable to state, but I believe that any animal form which is capable of some de- gree of consciousness is capable of personality.” A larger proportion of play and a smaller of systematized knowledge in the education of boys and girls was urged by Robert K. Atkinson, director of education, boys’ club federation of America. l Flashes of Life ] By the Associated Press. New York—An earl is being snub- bed by New York women.

They pushed gnd they pulled | and they cranked for two hours and then they said unkind things about it, but the car wouldn't start. As they started on the third hour, their sergeant, Martin Keenan, drove by in a squad car, noticing the perspiring and expiring conditions of his two officers, he stopped, but not to help. | “Where'd you get this car?” he demanded sharply of onc of the Negro boys. “Stole it,” was the answer, and an investigation proved he was right. BOY ROLLS UNDER TRUCK Falling from the running board of his father’s truck Saturday evo- ning, Leno Conti, 22 months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Conti ot 17 West street, escaped death when he rolled beneath the truck and allowed it to pass over him without a wheel touching him. According to Mr. Conti, he was driving into his yard and the space hetween the truck and another truck was so narrow that the boy would have been crushed had he stayed on the running board. He saw his dan- ger, and despite his tender years; and knowing that he could not cs- cape otherwise, dropped from the running board and rolled beneath the truck. He was badly scratched and bruised, but not scriously in- jured. $4.50 Down PUTS THE NEW TORCELAIN ENAMELED WASHER IN YOUR HOME Y MONTHLY TERM The UNIVERSAL Electric Wringer-Washer Speed—Safety for clothes and operator — Thoroughness— Sim- olicity-~Attractive Appearance— Small Cost—All are found in the HINGSFORD SHITH ACHIEVES HIS GOAL Guts Five Days Off England to Australia Hop Port Darwin, Northern across the continent to side of a pretty, girl, Wing Com- mander Charles Kingsford Smith to- day flew sofjtheastward 2,000 mile route to Sydney after hav- ing lowered by more than five days the record for a flight between Eng- | land and Australia.
