Former Senator France,
Running Against Hoover,
Hangs On, Despite Odds
By CHARLKS I*. STKWART
Central I’rMs Staff Writer
Washington, Feb. 27. -Ex-Senator
Joseph I. France or Maryland, as a
candidate for the Republican presi
dential nomination, in opposition to
Hr. Hoover, at least is entitled to the
tribute of recognition that he la no
quitter.
Proclaiming his aspirations about
six months ago. he evidently is going
through with the fight to the bitter
end, as resolutely as if he were a
real possibility— which is more than
cm be said for some two or three
notabilities who might have been sure
rneagb possibilities if they had been
Willing to exert themselves as he has.
lx If costing him a snug amount of
money. too—up to $11)0.000 thus far.
■C the most moderate estimate. If
lucky, he may get a dozen or so of
votes for It. on the first ballot at the
6. O. P.'s Chicago convention.
As a matter of fact, a few strong
anti Hoover Republicans did give Dr.
France's bid a genuine once over
when he first submitted it. but they
turned thumbs down on it without
vry long consideration.
Personally I would have thought it
worth taking a chance on. The doc
tor seems a good liberal. He was big
enough to break into the United
Pfates senate for a term, established
a record as an anti League of Nations
irreconcilable and has excellent nerve,
a large bank roll and a presence
which Is both engaging and impres
sive. Nevertheless, he misses ringing
the bell, for one reason o ranother.
The Marylander undoubtedly was
aware that the adds wre enormously
against him. but I imagine he failed
U> realize that they virtually were
100 per cent adverse.
He does now. Tor ne has proposed a
constitutional amendment by each
state, providing "direct presidentail
primaries, at which the voters shall
signify their choice among candi
dates". and that 'delegates sent to
the party convention by this election
shall vote for a rule declaring that
the man receiving the greatest num
ber of votes in the convention shall
be nominated for the presidency.”
*?i*hus." argues Dr. France, “the
power of the federal machine to re
nominate a president or determine his
successor will be destroyed, and pres
idents and vice presidents will be
come accountable to the people, rath
•r than to a handful of large cam
paign contributors and nolitical main
poJators
ThW suggestion .Senator Frederick
SteiWer of Oregon read into the Con
gressional Record the other dav, com
Ending it to “the attention of cit
izens everywhere in America.”
In the meantime, unless Mayor
Jacob S. Coxey of Massillon, 0.. be
counted, the Maryland ex-senator is
the only candidate with the grit and
the financial resources to buck the
renomination system.
Senator Hiram W. Johnson of Cali
fornia has the courage but certainly
not the money. •
Senator Wiiltam E. Borah of Idaho
W anything, is a poorer man than
Senator Johnson, and has. besides,
the reputation of possession a well
dr-\ eloped bump of caution.
Governor Gifforod Pinchot of Penn
sylvania is rich, a fighter, and has,
indeed, more than hinted at an in
clination to enter the lists, but with

depressingly few signs of enthusiasm
from any large part of the electorate.
True, ex-Senator France was not dis
couraged even by the public's cool
ness. but the Pennsyianian is hardly
to be blamed for not caring to throw
hard cash away merely because the
Marylander Is doing so.

there Is, then, no prospect whatever.

Sick Inmate Os Prison Camp
Asks State For Mouth Harp

Raleigh. Feb. 25.—Requisition for
a mouth harp for a sick prisoner was
received one day this week by the
Division of Purchase from the prison
division of the State Highway Com
mission.
“We have had requisitions for lots
queer things but that was the most
unusual we had yet received,” said
W. Z. Betts, assistant director of the
division, in charge of Highway Com
mission purchasing. “However, when
At thrtr troop house other girls are busy decorating the room for the party. Two of the girls, tractate
the travels of OMeral Washington on a large map, have discovered that in addition to his nthrr
attainment* the Father of bis Country might have originated the exorwadoo. "See Amorim fftrWL*
we Investigated, we found that the
request for the mouth harp was made
on the recommendation of the camp
physician.
“It seems that one of the prisoners
in the Rocky Mount camp, is recover
ing from a serious attack of pneu
monia. The prisoner likes to play a
mouth harp and asked the camp phy
sician if It would be all right for him
to play one and if so, to get him a
harp. The doctor told the camp su
perintendent that ti would hasten the
prisoner's recovery and give him
much-needed lung exercise to play a
mouth harp and suggested he get the
harp for him. So the superintendent
sent in the requisition.”
It is not known yet whether the
law will permit the State to buy a
mouth harp for this convalescent pri
soner or not. although the State is
required to furnish medical attention
medicines and even tobacco for pri
soners.
However, if it is found that the
mouth harp cannot be included
among the other articles on the re
quisition. the employes of the purchas
ing division for the Highway Commis
sion are going to buy the mouth harp
and send it to the sick prisoner any
way, Betts said.
Japan has three kinds of Exchanges
stock, rice and merchandise.
