Wet-Dry Campaign Seen in Wake Of Love’s Candidacy By RAYMOND BROOKS AUSTIN, July 5.—Senator Thom as B. Love’s announcement for gov ernor this week definitely puts the race, so far as he can force the is •sue, upon the wet-dry controversy *which split Texas democracy last year. Sen. Love announced he will ask the democratic nomination for gov ernor. His activities in supporting Herbert Hoover electors against Al fred E. Smith last year, and his speeches' in the Texas senate have showm that despite his aspiring to a democratic nomination his fight will be one upon John J. Raskob, demo cratic national chairman. The big news, as seen here, is not that Love will be in the race, as was virtuallly assured by circumstances, but whether the democratic state executive committee will permit his name to go on the party ballot. Sen. Love must take his request for having his name put on the primary ballot, to State Chinn. D. W. Wilcox of Georgetown, who last year served notice that those who quit the party would be kept out of it in future. A majority of demo crats in Texas then voted against the party nominee for president, though few in Texas forsook those nominees for whom they had voted in the state primaries. Supreme Test That will be the supreme test of the party’s attitude toward Hoover crats, and it will come long before election day. Observers here contended that it will only add fuel to the flames if the party organization attempts to rule him off the ballot.

But it is conceded he is a spokes man for a large element of the Tex as bone-drys. Sen. Love has been exceedingly busy during the long legislative ses sions. His handiwork is upon im portant measures, even though he did not individually carry the fight through for them. For instance, this week Sen. Love by parliamentary strategy, put two state senators on record as refus ing to support the plea of Congress man John C. Box that the party take control of its affairs out of the hands of the repudiated national chairman, Raskob. Then Sen. Love succeeded in put ting through the legislature, to win Gov. Moody's immediate approval, his bone-dry bills for repeal of the search and seizure law and the “evidence clause.” Those laws at tempted to prohibit searches with out warrant, and to penalize unlow ful searches, and to prohibit use of evidence illegally obtained. Campaign Fodder In these bills, Sen. Love enlisted the support of Miss Margie Neal, woman senator, and her name ap peared first on them, by custom designating them as the “Neal bills.” Then Sen. Love daddied the plan of conyining an increased gasoline tax and a 50-per cent reduction in automobile license fees into a single law. At earlier sessions he could not get this double-barrel measure considered. He secured an from Att’y. Gen. Claude Pollard holding such two-purpose low a valid form. Then he succeeded in substituting this bill for the two separate measures of the house, In creasing the reduction of license fees from the 30 per cent voted by the house to 50 per cent. And the house, overwhelmingly, accepted the measure. Sen. Love’s name did not apnear first on this law. Capt. W. A. Wil liamson of Bexar county joined him in the measure and led the fight that put the plan into effect. Love’s campaign for governor will have a bearing as determining not merely one individual’s political success, but a definite trend in the affairs of the democratic party in fexas as it starts back from the debacle of 1928. His first announcement for gov ernor had rather a hopeless air. It implied, without saving so, he had no hone of victory, but felt impelled to make the race as a continuation of his o\d fight. He said “With malice toward none, and charity for all. I shall be a candidate for gov ernor, as an anti-Tammany demo crat. before the democratic pri maries next year. “I have a message to carrv to the neople. and I know of no other way to do it. . . .1 feel that the time has now come when my friends and my enemies as well, are entitled to know that I choose to run.” French Cabinet Is Convoked Suddenly As New Crisis Seen PARIS, July 5.—(A5)—The French cabinet was convoked unexpectedly in special session today to consider varied attacks of the opposition which have brought the government perilously close to a ministerial crisis. The ministry decided to try to convince the finance commission of the chamber it should reconsider its decision to inject a safeguard clause into its ratification of the debt ac cord with America. It prepared also to fight the attack on Andre Tardieu, minister of the interior. The cabinet discussed all phases of the situation presented by the finance commission’s unexpected ac tion yesterday in voting to include the safeguard reservations in rati fication.

No less a person than Jesse L. Lasky, head of the production de partment of Paramount-Famous Lasky on the west coast, is author ity for the fact that Maurice Cheva lier, idol of France, has “It.” When Lasky heard Chevalier speak in ’’Innocents of Paris,” his first all talking American-made pic ture, Lasky declared that Chevalier had as much “It” as Clara Bow. And when the French star heard of this remark, he said: “Eet? What is zis eet?” As Madame Glyn was not present to give the correct definition, Che valier remained puzzled over the appelation for some time. Chevalier speaks excellent English having learned it during 26 months’ imprisonment in a German prison camp, in which many of his friends were English and American.

It is true that Prince Chichibu, the Emperor’s younger brother, met and admired the former Setsuko Satsudaira before she was finally selected to be his bride, but it was otherwise in the case of Prince Takamatsu, the next younger im perial brother. It was nearly two months after their former betrothal that Takamatsu and Princess Ki kuko Tokugawa, granddaughter of the last Shogun, met for the first time. This took place in the palace of the Empress Dowager Sadako, the prince’s mother, who invited the young couple and the mother of the bride-to-be to tea. This was served in a simple Japanese room with sliding* paper doors and floor of matting. The meeting lasted an hour and a half, and at the parting the im perial hostess gave each of the i couples presents of sea-bream, hali- i but and lobster, from time imme- ' morial the ceremonial gifts of con gratulations on a betrothal in high circles.
