Political Races In Limelight Here Now iCONTINUED FKOM PAGE ONE I fd for a lively tilt 1" In evidence. The contest for governor Is rem iniscent of the Mon'eon-Gurdner Page hgh* of 12 years ago, and, like It, a second primary Is freely predicted And to that cotnest Is added another of malm- proportions, the U. 9 senate, which will not be -hunted cslde. but continues to vie with the governor's race in interest and intensity. One interesting development Is the declaration of iterator Morrison that, as dry personalty and political ly, as he has always been, If the late Democrats should adopt a wet, plank, he will stand upon It, or get off the nlatfomi—v/hicli is another way of saying if the people want to be wet. he’ll,let ’em be wet, as they may desire. This is unmistakably an effort to meet the apparent wet sentiment developing in the state evidenced by a seemingly definite support of the candidacy of Robert ty Reynolds, a modlflcntionlst. Senator Morrison reputedly has not yet realized ‘.he danger which his real friends are constantly ad visiting him he is facing in the Reynolds candidacy, but he has now gone into the campaign in the char acteristic Morrison manner. Hi* friends may have convinced him of the danger which they hope he realised in time to meet. Talk, sift ed down, seems to Indicate that Senator Morrison will lead, even though his follower* are tifarid for him and the Reynolds camp is claiming leadership. And there is a big difference of opinion as to which will take third and fourth places, Thomas C. Bowie or Frank D. Orist. The governor's race also offers perplexities It is widely believed that J. C. B. Ehringhaus will lead, although there are Fountain sup porters, and even Maxwell follow ers, who dispute It. All signs point to Ehrlnghaus, even 'i all signs fall He has rrganir.at.lons In all coun ties and they are functioning. That, along with his speaking campaign, Is given credit for the seeming tip ping of the scales In Ills favor. Maxwell and Fountain are speaking, but while both hav? state organ isations and skeleton forees in .Tots, they do not teach down into all the cc unties. Whl’e Maxwell has undoubtedly made itreat gains, he had much further to go, and not many thoughtful politicians con cede that he can nose out Fountain for second place, a'tl ough the un expected may happen. Morrison Friends Say He Has Gain supporters Of Senator Not Worried So Much Now. Still Hard Ftght. Raleigh, May 30.—Friends of Sen ator Cameron Morrison, that Is, real friends who are not pretending support to get the expected "hand out.” claim they are not so disturb ed now as they were even a week or two ago, over the claims, und, In their cases, fear, that Robert R. Reynolds might lead Senator Mor rison in the first primary These friends have sensed a real danger and were disturbed about It, but- express the belief now that con ditions arc improving, even though ,'eeltng that much of the claimed Reynolds strength is not real, that Ule supporters are making a big fusa and strong claims primarily to try to influence the voters who want to get on the band wagon, to pick the winner. Even his friends admit unit sen ior Morrison has made political If not actual errors, depending on the point of \ lew. He opposed Senator Simmons and supported Alfred Smith. He voted for the confirma tion of Frank R, McNlnch. his next door neighbor, the anti-Smith lead er, as a member of the Federal pow er commission. He opposed payment of soldiers’ adjusted compensation certificates at this time. These and other acts have riled certain groups of voters, many of them to the point of announcing they would not support Mm. But his friends say these, or many 0? them, are beginning to get over their anger and remember the Mor rison of the past decile and his contribution to Democracy. They are also, these friends say, begin ning to picture Robert R. Reynolds, popular, debonair, hail-fellow-well met, pleasing of personality and! Mkeable. as a member of the United States Senate. They are not pleas ed with the picture. Even though many dislike things Morrison may have done, they are not ready to put him on the shelf and send Reynolds to take his place, these friends say. Yet. even they are not ready to claim the nomina tion is "sewed up’ and are not re laxing their efforts. They still see a fight ahead and are getting into it with renewed vigor. They sense the danger and are trying to avert it. but believe they can succeed. Sweet ’.otato plants one month earlier than usual are being grown b: L. C. Liles of 2ebu!or..

GoveomobTV, FDRooseveVT If Alfred I* „ E. Smith , HR I^HRHKi&HSWNBRRRMMHi^ « The T/igvaM in Chicago u/here Oimcomt tos Romtinated <$ Hiitory Km n uncanny habit uf repeating itself and praaant indications are that 1932 will aee an encore in the field of politic*. When the Republican and Democratic parties hold their convention* in Chicago in a few week*, they will he meeting in the city that saw Lincoln, a dark horse, win the nomination for the Presi dency 72 years ago under circumstances that form a parallel to the situation that at present prevails in the Democratic Party. Lincoln was swept to the nomination on the crest of the “stop Seward’’ wav*. William H. Seward of New York was the favored candidate, but Lincoln was the second choice of many delegates. When the first ballot was taken in the Wigwam, a $8,000 wooden structure, built for the convention, Seward had 173H votes, while Lincoln had 102. None of the other candidates had more than 50, and nomination required 233. The second ballot gave Seward lM)i and Lincoln 181. The third vote gave Lincoln 23114 end Seward 180, leaving “Honest Abo" lacking one and one-half votes to win. Ohio switched four votes and the “rail splitter’’ was launched on hi* way to the Whit* House. Nat until the night before the convention had Lincoln been seriously considered. But it was then that the “step Seward’’ movement reached its peak. A similar situation prevail* today. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York is riding high in the saddle, hut there is a formidable obstacle in the way of his nomination in the “stop Roosevelt” movement, headed by former Governor Alfred E. Smith. Uni*** the two-thirds rule now in force is discarded before balloting begins, it is almost certain that the Smith-Roosevelt antagonism will result in a deadlock, making it a comparatively simple matter for a dark hors* to romp home with the coveted nomination. Galveston Beauty Pageant on Rocks * * * * * * Annual Pulchritude Parade Discontinued Owing to Depression; Bishop’s Hostility and Colonel's Charges of Favoritism. pKU'.KE AKI/f'CRaH Anne Lee Pattersoh Catherine. MCwan Netta Duchateau For too first time ia mar* thu a decade Ualveston will not has* tU International rageanc or rutcnrtniae year. The colorful event that brought tha craau of the world’* feminine loveliness to the Texas city has been abandoned for reasons—three in number. The depreaeion, as is to be expected, takes its share of the blame, the pageant haring ended in an ocean of red ink for several years. Then there is the hostility of Bishop C. E. Byrne, who has long waged a tooth-and-nail fight against the “leg show on the sea wall.” Lastly is the charges of Colonel W. E. Easterwood, chewing gum magnate, that the home girls of Texas were not getting a square deal in the contest and that some of the visiting entrants had enough synthetic complexion to paint the Washington Monument. The colonel’s protest came last year when Anne Lee Patterson of Kentucky, was chosen over the Texan beauty. Miss Eugenia Tullis, of,Dalla», for the title of “Miss United States.” However, in refutation of the colonel’s chargee it is pointed out that Catherine Moylan, another Dallas beauty, won the title of “Miss Universe” in 1926. Last year the world's beauty crown went to Belgium on the head of MU*. Natta Duchateau, but there was a difference of opinion as to the justice of the decision. However, a glance at the records shows that American girls have done well at Galveston. Dorothy Goff, of New Orleans, was a “Miss Universe” title holder, as was also Miss Dot Britton, of New Jersey, and Irene Ahlbergh, of New York, won the “Miss United States” title in 1929. Galveston will put on a “local" show this year, reverting to the original idea of the pageant, only girls from the surrounding States being eligible. Church Official Facing Charges M. J.
