BITTER SENATE
BATTLE LOOMS
jfers. McCormick's New Goal
In 1930 Campaign May
Produce Fireworks
CHICAGO, Aug. 8.—(/F)—T w c
crusaders, Ruth Hanna McCormick,
member rf congress, and Charier
B. Deneen, senior senator, are set
ting the IUi.iois political stage for
a bitter battle over the 1930 repub
lican senatorial nomination. Mrs
McCormick would be the first wom
an to run for the senate.
Behind the asbestos curtain, prop
are being set for a duel that surely
will develop pyrotechnics and
strange alliances
Mrs. McCormick crusaded last
summer on the contention that
women were entitled to -.uthonty lr
legislation. Her sex flocked to her
and she won notab! victories in the
primary and gener * election.
Deneen came om retirement five
years ago to defeat Mrs. McCor
mick's husband, the then Senator
Medill McCormick, for the \ n:ma
tion. Deneen had been a crusadhv*
state's attorney i~ ^ook county, anc
a governor before retiring to prac
tice law.
Deneen Wins Tick**!
Two years ago. Deneen challenged
the faction of Mayor William Hair
Thomp Jii. and with "reformation*'
on his banner de ated Thimy on':
state, and county l.ckets. The sen
ior senator is credited with the
campaign against night clubs and
cabarets—in general, the federa*
government's drive to dry up Chi
cago. He is closely linked with tht
, temperance organisations.
Mrs. McCormick is the daughter
of Mark Hanna, the outspoken dic
tator c republicanism of the Mc
Kinley-Rooscvelt era.
Lightning ishes warned of the
^yc^nding storm as early as the
■b: onal convention in Kansas City
nist summer Deneen sou t t*
name both the state's members of
the national committee. Mrs. Mc
Cormick and others objected and
Deneen's woman candidate. Mrs.
Lottie Holman O'Neill, a state leg
islator. was sacrificed. Mrs. Bertha
Baur obtaining the place. She had
\ been Identified with the Thompson
i faction and was supported by Mrs.
I McCormick.
Women Split Rank
A split in the women's republican
ranks deevloped when Mrs. O'Neill
accused Mrs. McCormick of "play
ing politics'* with the women, claim
ing that Mrs. McCormick had "balk
ed ' her <Mrs. O'Neill» at every turn
In Cook county the republican
factions are headed by Deneen.
Thompson. Avery, Brundage and a
remnant of the Len Small ma
chine. Downstate there are groups
largely controlled by Governor Em
merson. Otis F. Glenn, the junior
senator, Oscar E. Carlstrom. the at
torney general and smaller cliques
controlled by minor state official:
and members of congress.
Mrs. McCormick probably would
draw the Thompson. Brundage and i
Len Small support In Cook county I
and obtain the alliance of Glenr
and Emerson down-state.
‘Mob Killings’
Seen In Deaths
PITTSBURGH. Aug *8.—f/Pi—Two
men were slain here last night, one
at the door of a hospital and the
other on a street in the east end
district. Police described the slav
mgs as “mob killings.'’ believing
w" niay have resulted from a con
fpuation of gang fighting.
One of the victims was Steve!
Mbnastero. alleged racketeer, and
the other was Tony Lilo. Monastero 1
was entering a north side hospital t
with his brother. Sam. to visit a
friend Shotguns were shoved
through the curtains of an auto-1
mobile parked near by and fired
Monastero fell and one of his as- i
sailants jumped from the ambush '
machine and fired several shots into
the fallen man s head.
Several hours after the Monastero
killing, police found Lilo uncon
scious from stab wounds He i
clutched a knife in his hand as he
lay in the street. He died in a hos

Chief Defense Lawyer for

GASTONIA. N. C.. Aug. 8.— De
spite bis rclc of chief counsel for
the murder-charged communists, at
their trial growing out of la.t
spring's strike in one of the big tex
tile mills here. Gastoniaians gener
ally speak well of Dr. John Ranc!
doplph Neal—who. by the way.
helped Clarence Darrow. on the
Darv .Pan side of the Scopes ca>c
in 1925 of thereabouts.
“We recognize Dr. Neal's high
sta.nd.ng at the bar” one of the
leading lawyers for the prosecution
remarked to me the other day. “arm
although he is a foreigner, we sin
cerely respect him as an opponent.'*
A foreigner?
“He lives at Knoxville. tTenn.i,"
explained the Gastonian.
This may sound odd. but It seems
to me that it accounts for a lot of
the violence of Gastonia's feeling
against the 15 capitally-accused
communists, and the additional
eight who are charged with only a
little less serious offenses.
• • •
However, the communists had
no choice but to hire a few “fore
ign ' legal advisers—because the
prosecution left only one Gastonia
attorney unrestamed to help the
county solicitor, as the prosecutor
is called in North SCaroJina.
This one the defense did engage
—R. L Sigmon by name.
One was not enough, by any
means.
The prosecution has a dozen.
To be sure, the communists had
Lawyer Tom P. Junison, but Jimi
son's home is in Charlotte; not
Gastonia. An odd character, orig
inally he was a Methodist minist« r.
but abandoned the pulpit for the
bar and became very radical, ac
cording to Gastonians—through it
is unnecessary to be an especiallv
deep red” in order to look that i

color against the Gastonian back
ground.
* * '
Joined by Attorneys Joseph Brod
sky and Leon Josephson, of New
York, who have been identified with
various northern communist cases
Sigmon. Jinuson and the new ar
rivals decided upon the necessity j
for a real Dixie-land legal nota
bility to car ;’ the defenses ban
ner.
Gastonia’s supply being exhaust
ed, a ’’foreigner" was unavoidable I
and Dr. Neal was picked because
of his connection with the Scopes
case and able services rendered by
bim to the Elizabethton (Tenn.f
rayon strikers recently.
Plus a few “native” reserves, in
the form of Ashville and Charlotte
(N. C.i law firms, such is the com
munists’ lineup.
• • •
Thai private interests—such as
those back of the textile industry
in Gaston county and maybe else
where—are putting up money of
their own to promote the public
prosccvtrin of the Gastonia com
munists. of course, appears alto
gether unlikely’.
Nevertheless, the number of law
years. with practices of a purely
private character, who are aiding
County Solicitor John G. Carpen
ter is surprising.
Indeed, although Solicitor Car
penter supposedly is in charge of
the states case, he is far from oe
ing so great a legal celebrity as sev
eral oi the 11 or so included in the
roll ol his assistants.
• • v
Perhaps best known on the ros
ter are the names of Clyde C.
Hoey, of Shelby, and Maj. A. L. Bul
winkle, of Gastonia, counsel for tn’
Loray mill, scene of the strike from
v.hich the pending case had its
origin
Reputedly the greatest jury plead

eloquence long ago won for him
the nickname of the “silver ton
gued”—and incidentally he is u
brother-in-law of Gov. O. Max
Gardner, of the Tarheel common
wealth.
Major Bui winkle, after several
terms in congress, met defeat last
tall, and the suggestion is heard
here that the present trial may be
somewhat in the nature of his cam

Effort Made To
Save ‘Fool Hen*
NEWPORT. Wash.. Aug. 8.—</P.—
Since the “fool hen" won’t make !
any effort to save herself from ex
tinction. game conservationists here
are trying to do it for her through
the use of hot water bottles and
setting hens.
The “fool hen.” a bird of the
pheasant variety, sits calmly on her
nest when danger approaches and'
faces shooting or devouring with
out making any effort to escape.
The game commission, by offer
ing a reward for eggs, has secured
a supply brought here carefully
wrapped in cotton wool and
warmed with hot water bottles.
These have been placed under set
ting hens in the hope that enough
can be hatched to prevent com
plete extermination of the species1
due to the virtual suicidal pen
chant of the fowl.

“When all means of communica
