HOOVER UPHELD IN KANSAS VOTE President’s Aide Wins Senatorial Toga In Western Primary Topeka, Kas., Aug. 6. — <U.R> — Henry Justin Allen, 61, sehate supporter of President Hoover, today was conceded the Republican nomination for junior senator from Kansas on the face of incomplete returns from Tuesday's primary. Allen, who construed his apparent victory over a field of three opponents as a vote of confidence in the national administration, won over W. H. Sproul, former congressman; Ralph Snyder, Kansas farm bureau head, and James Getty, Kansas City, Kan., attorney. He held a two to one lead over his nearest opponents, Sproul and Snyder. In contrast, Allen's primary running mate, Governor Clyde M. Reed, 59, opponent of Alexander Legg's wheat crop policies, faced the possibility of losing by 40,000 votes in his race for a second term against Frank Haucke, 35,' former World war sergeant, American Legion head, farmer and young state republican leader. Early returns showed Senator Allen polled 27,000 votes In 1,020 of the 2.668 precincts in the state, Sproul had 13,500; Synder, 13,000, and Getty, 9,000. Similar precinct returns gave Haucke 67,342 votes and Gov. Reed 48,891. The surprising development for the state was the unexpected disruption of the Allen-Reed team. Reed appointed Allen to 311 the senate vacancy when Charles Curtis was elevated to the vice-presi-dency. Allen in turn supported Reed. It appeared the electorate, although disturbed by reports of farm flight from drought and overproduction, had favored a farm board supporter from senator and repudiated a farm board opponent for governor. Senator Allen has identified himself prominently as an administration man. He was active in passage of the naval treaty and adopted a sympathetic view toUard the Federal farm board s plan of farm relief. Governor Reed’s championing of the wheat growers’ complaints failed apparently to bring him the heavy rural vote he needed to overcome his younger opponent's strength in the cities. Haucke, although a farmer, did not attempt to make the agricultural situation an issue. Allen will enter the fall election in opposition either to George McGill, fellow Wichita citizen, or Charles Stephens, democratic nominee who opposed Curtis in the last election. McGill was leading in the democratic race. Senator Arthur Capper, senior republican incumbent, was unopposed in the primary and in the fall will meet Jonathan M. Davis, former democratic governor and farmer, also unopposed. The republican candidate for governor probably will oppose Harry Woodring, who was leading N. L. Bowman for the democratic nomination. o Error In Article An error was made in the accounof the robbery whicn took place at the Maier Hide and Fur Company on Monroe street, Monday evening in which Mr. Felix Maier was stated as owner of the company. However he and M. Moyer are partners in opwership of the shop. 0 Dog Is Recovering Washington, Ind., Aug. 6 —(UP) —The pet dog of Mrs. Maude Warner, has recovered after being on a strict diet of sour milk, from the effects of chasing a cat during the hot weather of last week, Mrs. Warner announced today.

The animal was taken to a veterinarian who pronounced the illness due to be heat exhaustion. A rigid diet and complete rest was ordered. 0 Lightning Kills Cow Geneva, Tnd. Aug. 6 —(Special)— Lightning which accompanied the storm and rain in Adams County last night struck a tree under which four cows were seeking shelter from the rain on the Ed Staley farm IVz miles north of Geneva last night. The cows were killed instantly. 0 Narrow Escape Monticello, N. Y. —Notified that a child lay crushed under a concrete block which weighed nearly a ton, six men. worked frantically to raise it.
