LIQUOR IS ONLY ISSUE FACED IN PENNSYLVANIA Davis Runs for Senate on Repeal Platform; Drys Back Butler. BY LEO R. SACK Timm Staff Wrltrr PITTSBURGH, April B—While he senate marks time on the prohibition question, Pennsylvanians are preparing to meet the issue squarely at the primaries three weeks hence. Test of whether the largest Republican state in the union is ready to discard the “noble experiment” is coming in the Republican senatorial contest between Senator •lames J. Davis and Smedley D. Butler, picturesque retired major general of marines. Davis is campaigning as a wet; Butler as a bone dry. Op human relief both are in accord. Butler says the federal government lYiust meet the emergency through direct relief for the hungry. Davis voted for the La Follette-Costigan bill providing such relief.

Neither Overly Popular Neither candidate has developed any other issue; neither is particularly popular, Davis has the support' of the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia machines of the state Republican organization and of the lesser bosses, as well as the so-called*' liberals, in a state where the prohibition law has failed notably to prohibit. Butler has the backing of Governor Pinchot, dynamic leader of the anti-administration forces, who thinks Hoover should be defeated for a renomination, but is not willing himself to buck the Republican national committee machine. In addition, the Anti-Saloon League, the church federation and the “good women” are supporting Butler. Former Senator Joseph R. Grundy, whom Davis replaced, also Is backing Butler. Next to Pinchot. Grundy’s help may prove the most effective for Butler. Despite a sore throat Butler is taking his fight to every corner of the state. When he can’t thunder against the existing order, his son, Smedley Jr., pinch hits for his dad. Pinchot is campaigning, too. Davis Confident of Victory Davis is dividing his time between Washington and Pennsylvania. He commutes back and forth. He has been advised that he will win by 200.000 or more and he believes it. On prohibition Davis urges outright repeal. He denounces the dry law as a breeder of corruption and charges it with responsibility for many ot the nation's ills. Meanwrtile, he urges immediate modification. Butler doesn't pussyfoot in his devotion to prohibition. “I’m a, dry,” he shouts. “You send me to Washington and I guarantee to stay dry for six years.” This usually gets a big hand, because Davis, elected as a devotee of President Hoover’s dry policies, switched to the wet cause when he ascertained that Boss Vare of Philadelphia and tho minor bosses would run an opponent against him if he did not do a quick right About face.

Howard CONGRESSMEN FIGHT UTILITY PROBE CURB Cut in Federal Trade Commission Appropriation Opposed. /{j/ finripps-Hoicard .Vet capaper Alliance WASHINGTON. April 8. The government's serious fiscal problem has not weakened determination of congressmen that the federal trade commission shall not be crippled in the general economy drive. Three members of the house argued for increased funds for the commission, in the opening debate on the independent offices appro- | priation bill. Representative Amlie <Rep., Wis.) told the house that the commission's utility investigation is the most important investigation ever attempted by any governmental body. It already has uncovered writeups in stock valuations totaling $900,000,000, he said, and just is starting on power companies of ‘‘the House of Morgan, where we may find that this company has looked after purchasers of domestic securities about as well as purchasers of Latin American securities.” PAY T AXES PROMPTLY Barrett Law Receipts and Statements Ready, Says Sexton.
