HOOVER GIVEN EDGE BY WEST IN RACE Democrats Are Split Into Two Camps, Either for or Against Al. LOWDEN ALSO STRONG Two Coast States Consider Secretary of Commerce Native Son. Following Is the fourth Article In a series on political conditions in various parts of the country. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover has an edge at this time on his competitors for the 1928 Republican presidential delegates from the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast regions, according to a.survey conducted by United Press bureaus. Hoover is considered a favorite son by at least two coast States and has won much favor among citizenry and newspapers because of his advocacy of power and waterways development. Democrats of the area are split into camps either for or against Governor Al Smith of New York. In 1924 Democrats of the West were almost unanimous for Smith's opponent, William G. McAdoo and there is still widespread sentiment against Smith. The New York Governor, however, has made inroads in Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Washington, and has a chance in Colorado and California. Hoover Following Strong The other Democratic candidates thus far have received scant mention and the situation in the party, is described by many western leaders as "apathetic.” Republican discuslson centers chiefly around Hoover and former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. Hoover was raised iri Salem and Newberg, Ore., and was graduated from Stanford University, California. He has a strong folli >wing in both those States. In Oregon, however, considerable sentiment is reported for the McNaryHaugen farm relief bill which does not coincide with Hoqver’f farm relief idea. Lowden' favored the Mc-Nary-Haugen bill and, therefore, has been much discussed as a~prospect. Senator Jones, Republican, Washington; says he has heard no one but Hoover mentioned seriously in his State and thinks Washington would be pledged for the secretary, in the convention. Idaho Pledged to Borah In Wyoming, Republican editors went on record in a recent convention, 33 to 2, in favor of Hoover against Lowden, and leaders in Montana, Nevada and Utah have commented favorably upon the secretary’s candidacy. v In Arizona his popularity is not high because of his stand on the Boulder Canyon dam project, but in Nevada, former Governor G.

Prince, Famed Hunter, Lectures Here Oct. 12
mM ; \ Jmß .. 88. j L ———— " —.—l .
Prince William of Sweden and the monster gorilla he shot during his big-game expedition in the heart of Central Africa. The Prince will be here October 12, under auspices of The Times, giving a lecture for benefit of the camping fund of the Girl Scouts and Campfire Girls. mN the heart of central Africa a monster man-eating gorilla charged toward an intrepid big-game hunter. With the csiast only a few feet away, the man fired point blank. The gorilla dropped dead within three feet of the hunter. The hunter was Prince William of Sweden, second son of King Gustav V, who will come to Indianapolis Oct. 12 under auspices of The Indianapolis Times for the benefit of the camping fund of the Campfire Girls and the Girl Scouts. The prince is an internationally known big-game hunter, a writer of exploration books, novels and plays, a poet of distinction and a contributor to leading magazine* in Sweden, England and America. He led the Swedish Zoological expedition in 1922 into the heart of central Africa in search of rare specimens. The prince and his men obtained 1,000 mammals, 1,700 birds and more than 10,000 insects for the Riks Museum. % The expedition also spent considerable time studying the “Ba-Twa” pigmies. After days of coaxing, the pigmies vere persuaded to come to the prince’s camp on promise of a ration of salt for each dwarf. The prince found a veritable big game paradise on the plains of the Ruindi River, south of Lake Edward. He and his men bagged the bulk of their larger exhibits there. “Hunting Big Game in Pygmy Land” is to be his lecture subject. It will be illustrated with 6,000 fee of film. Tickets will be placed on sale Monday at several downtown locations. Reserve Wednesday evening, Oct. 12, for this event.
Scrugham has published several editorials in his Democratic newspaper favoring Hoover. Scrugham is a strong personal friend of the commerce chief and is a power in -Nevada politics. In Colorado, Senator Phipps believes President Coolidge will be drafted, but John R. Coen, State chairman and leader of the antiPhipps faction, and Clarence C. Hamlin, national committeeman, have leaned toward Hoover. Idaho is expected to pledge to Senator Borah as a favorite son. Some Wet Sentiment The Democratic problem is similar, Smith may get half of Colorado’s twelve convention votes. John T. Barnett, national committeeman, favors the New York Governor, while Tom Annear, State chairman, is understood to be against him. Governor William Adams is considered favorable to/ Smith and Adams may possibly get the delegation as a favorite son. There is some wet sentiment in Washington. There Smith is conceded a chance, although he probably will be opposed by Senator Dill.

Oregon is ardently dry and the anti-Smith forces are in the party saddle there. In Montana, Nevada and Wyoming, Democrats are split over Smith, but he appears to have the edge in Utah. In Arizona he is conceded a good chance. Montana may pledge for Senator Thomas J. Walsh, a favorite son. Plenty of Time for Change Unless some leading dry candidate is put to the fore it appears that the majority of States in this territory may send uninstructed deiegt/es to the convention to oppose Smith and vote for his best opponent. The situation, however, has plenty of time to change before the Spring primaries, and most of the leaders are lying low to see what will happen. Tomorrow’s story wfll be a general summary of the survey. Arbor Day was started by ex-Gov-emor J. Sterling Morten of Nebraska. At his suggestion, it is explained, the State Agricultural Socity appointed April 20 as the day, and the first one was celebrated in 1872.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
WOMEN WILL BACKCOOLIDCE State Organization to Ignore i Third Term Issue. If the fadieus Coolidge "do not choose” does not turn out to be a flat rejection of the presidential nomiration, leaders in Indiana women’s Republican circles are to ignore the implication that a “third term issue” is involved. That was the Jist of the answer given by Miss Eleanor Barker Snodgrass, Indianapolis attorney and active Republican worker, to a question pulled from the question box at today’s session of the Indiana Republican Woman’s Club. “Filling out an unexpired term should not be construed as the basis for calling a re-elected term a* third term,” she said. The name, Coolidge, was not mentioned, however, in the course of the discussion. Speakers on the program for the luncheon and afternoon meetings today included: Governor Jackson, United States Senator Arthur R. Robinson, Mrs. Grace Banta Urbahns, State treasurer; Miss Dorothy Cunningham, national Republican committee woman; Mrs. A. T. Hert, Louisville, Ky., although national Republican committeewoman; and Congressman John J. Gorman of Chicago, representative of Mayor William Hale Thompson, who was unable to attend. SEEK WIDENING OF FORTY-SIXTH STREET City Plan Commission Asks Extension of 18 Feet. Widening of Forty-Sixth St., between Boulevard PI and Meridian St., from thirty to forty-eight feet, has been recommended by the city plan commission. Funds for the project will come from the thoroughfare plan fund, according to Gustav G. Schmidt, plan president. Another project provides for widening between Sunset Ave. and Boulevard PI. The street will be 80 feet between property lines and is planned for a crosstown route. Under an agreement with Butler University, located gt Fairview, the collet 2 will pay one-fourth of the costs for acquiring land and the city pay three-fourths, according to Virgil Vandagriflt, works board president. Total cost is $15,853. GAS FROM AUTO KILLS Bu Times Sveeial SOUTH BEND, Ind., Bept. 30 Mrs. Michael F. Colnon. 55, is dead here, the result of inhaling carbon monoxide fumes while seated in her automobile. Mrs. Colnon, who has been ill, decided to take an early morning drive following a restless night. She went alone to the garage at her home and wa3 found slumped over the steering wheel of the car. Coroner R. J. McDonald said his theory was that Mrs. Colnon let the motor run to warm it up and remained in the closed garage until poison gas accumulated.

MOVE ON FIGHT FILMSAWAITED San Francisco Theater Heads Are Held. Bu Times Special SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 30. —Eugene E. Bennett, acting United States District attorney, today awaited instructions from the Department of Justice at Washington on action against persons arrested for .showing films of the DempseyTunney fight here. Bennett forwarded to the department full reports on the arrest of officers and employes of the Capitol theater here. Meanwhile, the Federal grand jury' at Los Angeles indicted two men on a charge of conspiracy to violate the law prohibiting transportation of fight pictures from one State to another. At the same time investigations of the showing of fight films were started in Seattle and Portland. Doubt was expressed that charges against Tex Rickard, promoter of the Dempsey-Tunney fight, would be pressed. A telegraphic warrant for the arrest of Rickard hi New York was issued at the tirr e the Capitol employes were arrested. WORKS GREENBACK RUSE Negro DEhu>pears After “Dividing” Newly Found 81,000 Bill. The old “pocketbook game” was worked again late Thursday, with Florence Martin, Negro, 1214 Muskingum St., as the victim at a cost of S3OO. Miss Martin told police she met a Negro woman by chance acquaintance downtown and walked with her to the Circle, where they were accosted by a Negro man, evidently an acquaintance of the woman.

Brazil has the greatest waterpower resources of any country. Its rivers are estimated to be able to produce 50,000,000 horse power.
While tills particular-formula was compounded for the purpose of conquering painful, Gouty conditions and what is known as Rheumatoid Arthritis—a knotty, painful swelling of the joints—it has proven wonderfully successful in most forms of Neuritis and Sciatic Nerve Pains. You needn’t be afraid of its containing dope of any kind—it doesn’t. Such things are only makeshifts and at best can bring only partial relief. Be sure you’ve got Neuritis and then get Allenrhu Special Formula No. 2. Any druggist can supply you. —Advertisement.
SEPT. 30,1927
PRESENT M’NAY WITH CITY JOB PAYING 53,000 Ex-Klan Leader Credited With Keeping Ouster Crowd Off Duvall. Robert F. McNay, credited with having steered the majority faction of city council away from impeachment of Mayor John L. Duvall several weeks ago, today was given a $3,000 a year city job. McNay, leader in the Red Star movement, former grand titan of the Indiana Ku-Klux Klan, living at 2012 Harding St., was named superintendent of municipal garage by the board of works. The appointment is effective Oct. 1. When McNay walks in William Hamilton, Republican chairman of the Third ward, former State policeman and strong ally of Republican County Chairman George V. Coffin, must walk out. The ousting of so strong a key in the Coffin machine was seen as another indication that Coffin’s rival for Republican control, Otis Dodson, has scored another point. McNay trails with Dodson. Asked who recommended McN: v or where the appointment the three members signed came from the members chorused: “We don’t know. We just found it on our desk and signed it.” The board said nothing about whether McNay is enough of a mechanic to boss the job of keening several hundred thousand dollars worth of municipal motor equipment in renair. The board polished off the days work by signing a few more things found laying on the desk. Among them was the aooointment of James Todd. Jr., 923 W. TwentyNinth St., son of Dr. Austin H. Todd, as junior aid in the engineering department at SIOO a month. Dr. Todd happens to be a city councilman who helped block impeachment of the mayor.
