ILLINOIS HOLDS cWNTINUIsn from r»n« nssi dldates for positions now held by 1 (lov. George II Earle, a Democrat.! and Sen. James J. Davis, a Repub- ' ' lican. The Democratic state com-{ inlttee refused to accept the demand of CIO Chairman Lewis that the gubernatorial nomination be 1 i given to Lieut. Gov. Thomas Ken- | nedy, who also Is secretery-treas I urer of the United Mine Workers lof America. Lewis heads that union which has numerous membership in other states, including Ohio and Kentucky. The state! committee named Charles A. Jones, Pittsburgh lawyer, ns its choice for governor with Earle tn the senate race. Kennedy is an independent candidate for the’ Democratic gubernatorial nomination with the backing of Lewis and Sen. Joseph F. Guffey, I), pa., who opposed Jones as head of the state ticket but who was not strong enough to stop him. There are other Democratic candidates for governor but the big question in Pennsylvania is- whether the Lewis-Guffey-Kennedy combination will prove in primary voting to be dominant in Pennsylvania Democratic politics. There is no indication yet whether Lewis will bring out a candidate for Democratic senatorial nomination in opposition to Earle. Some observers believe Mr. Roosevelt will keep hands off the

THREE KILLERS ARE EXECUTED Three Kidnap-Killers Are Executed In West Virginia Moundsville, W. Va., March 22 l UP) Warden C. E. Stone of the West Virginia penitentiary, displeased by misbehavior and boisterousness of his guests at the hanging last night of three kidnapers, ’ ruled today that only official witi neeses and newspapermen will be permitted to attend hangings at bl 3 !prison In the future. There was a technical flaw also in last night's hangings, in which Arnett Booth, 46. Orville Adkins, 25 cud John Travis, 25, paid the supIreme penalty for having kidnaped Dr. James I. Seder, former superin|tendent of the West Virginia, New i Mexico, Wisconsin, and MaseaehuIsetts chapters of the antl-saloon league. Adkins was dropped through 'the trap before the noose was put I around his neck. He was picked up ■ in the gallows pit, carried back to i the platform, and hanged properly. The condemned, in their weeks in I I't’ison, had become very religious and when lesl forth to the gallows were exultant, almost eager to die. ; because, the gallows could accomodate but two men at a time, the ! warden flipped a coin and Booth i won. He was to die last. After Travis and Adkins had climbed the 13 steps of the gallows in the high I ceilinged execution chamber, 80 of ! Warden Stone’s guests - including ! one woman were ushered in. There . was much laughter and joking among them, which continued despite i repeated admonitions from the WarI den for silence. Three guards below the gallows 1 pulled three levers, and Adkins an 1 Travis dropped through the traps. Two of the levers were dummies. The device is one to prevent tho i guards knowing which one was the factual executioner. I The 80 witnesses were ushered out with come difficulty, the bodies were cut down, and 60 more witcesses were brought in to watch Booth die. Booth's audience was even more noisy than liad been tht first, anti warden stone spoke out sharply: "Kindly be a little quiet, please.” A few hours before his execution, Booth, according to his attorney, .'told department of justice agents i that a man living in Cleveland, who , has. never been arrested, had been the "brains" of the kidnaping. Dr. Seder was kidnaped from his home in Huntington, W. Va., Nov. 7 and held for 11 days in an abandoned coal mine where he was subjected to brutal privations. He escaped his prison, but died four days later of exposure. The kidnapers demanded $50,000 ransom. It wad not paid. o VAN NUYS HITS (CONTINUED FKO» MOKiiSS). gates to the slate Democratic convention, which would be like "butting his head against a stone wall." but that "anyone who wants to present his name to the state convention may do so." 6.

legally and correctly to withstand I the scrutiny of the slate election board which is headed by the very governor he is attacking. Van Nttys said that he understood ho I had to organize a new party and 1 silo it with a valid petition of 60 days before tho general election ' | and would do so. 7. That he knew that ho could not match the reported million . dollar slush fund of the "two percent dub" but would have "adequate funds for all legitimate expenses." At tho outset Van Nuys made it plain that he would use the radio ' for the brunt of his full campaign. In this connection it was recalled that Van Nuys declined to attend the last two winter meetings of the Indiana Democratic Editorial association, and at both times the editors adopted resolutions which pointedly ignored him. When he did attend the association's summer meeting he heard Governor Townsend read him out of the party to his face. Van Nuys said he is planning a . statewide radio hookup every week in the two months before the fall election on which he will speak for an hour. At that time, he said, he would “file a bill of particulars" on the general charges he is making and will continue to make against the Townsend organization. 'Hie senator made the blanket . assertion that he "has all tile data for everything.” Van Nuys said that lie plans to slay in Washington until the end of the present congressional session. probably in May, take a brief vacation and then return to open "a state headquarters here and in every county in Indiana."
