Tight Race for
the Nomination
to Senate Seat
Two Democratic Candidates in Okla
homa Running Neck and Neck
for the Nomination
Oklahoma City. Thomas P. Gore,
sightless former senator, who served
his state in that capacity for thir
teen years, and Charles J. Wrights
man, millionaire oil man from Tulsa,
were separated by a paper slim mar
gin in the contest for the democratic
senatorial nomination five hours af
ter Oklahomans had cast their last
ballots Tuesday in the state-wide pri
mary with 676 of the state's 3,338
precincts reported press, the figures
were: Wrightsman, 11,155; -Gore,
11,146.
Kenry Johnston, last of the two
Oklahoma governors to be ousted, still
was within striking distance of a
chance to enter the Aug. 12 runoff
primary, polling 8,832 votes.
Others in the Running.
The state's second governor, Lee
Cruce of Ardmore, was increasing his
proportion of the total vote of prob
ably 30". 000, and from the 576 pre
cincts polled 6,157 ballots for the
senate place. J. B. A. Robertson's
campaign opposition to prohibition
apparently netted him no better than
a poor fifth place. His vote was 2,439.
Meanwhile Senator W. B. Pine's
lead over two opponents bore out pre
primary predictions that he would go
into the general election next No
vember as the republican nominee
without being forced into the run
off. Pine, from 169 precincts, had
4,080 votes; Charles J. Benson of
Shawnee, 901; and J. J. Bebout of
Kingfisher, 756.
J. C. "Jack" Walton, who, after
being ousted as governor, won in
1924 the democratic senatorial nom
ination, will go into the November
election as an independent lor the
same office. Six years ago he defeat
ed Wrightsman in the primaries.
Robertson also is a former governor.
Murray Leads for Governor.
Increasing his proportionate lead
over the field of eight other demo
cratic candidate for governor in the
primary election, William II. Murray
of Tishomingo had 26,904 votes in
returns from 730 of the state's 3,338
precincts. Prank Buttram, wealthy
Oklahoma City oil man and novitiate
in professional politics, staved far in
the lead of the remaining candidates
with 14.794 votes, compared to 8,834
for M. E. Trapp, former governor.

ASK SHIPPING RATE REVISION
Lincoln, July 29. A revision of
freight rates to permit shipment of
common brick in carload lots for
greater distances than 150 miles has
been asked of the state railway com
mision by the Nebraska Brick and
Tile Manufacturers association.
Under present tariff, the rate ap
plies only to a zone of 150 miles.
The manufacturers want the limit
removed so that shipments may be
made to any point in the state on
the same relative rate. Chairman
John Curtis heard the camplaint.
Nebraskans
Offer Farm
Ills Remedy
Suggestions Include Lifting Immi
gration Ears ; Giving Favor
able Price to China.
Lincoln, July 29. While the fed
eral farm board expounds the theory
that decreased acreages may relieve
the wheat slump, scores of Nebras
kans who contribute to the federal
state statistical bureau with reports
on agricultural condition, have wide
ly divergent views on farm relief and
wheat gluts.
Here are a few of the ideas as ex
pressed by "crop reporters" through
out the state to A. K. Anderson, chief
statistician of the Nebraska bureau:
"Discard the property tax.
Quit spending so much money.
Diversify more and market more
orderly. Farmers should work
more and spend less for auto
mobiles. Complete reduction of
prices should be made on farm
machinery."
Flexible Tariff.
"An immediate use of the
flexible provision of the tariff
act. If farmer could buy as he
sells, he would take care of him
self. Buying more wheat by the
government might help, but
even this is questionable as
means of relief because how
would the government get rid of
what it purchased?"
"Only dishonest men will ap
prove of the American farmer
being forced to buy on an Amer
ican market at American prices
and sell on a world market basis.
Honest men can find the solu
tion politicians never."
Sell to China.
From a more remote corner of the
state came this bit of advice which
suggests lifting the bars of immigra
tion to provide a larger consuming
public:
"Remove immigration restric
tions. Let all honest desirable
people enter who wish to come
to this country. We would have
25,000,000 more to feed and that
would wipe out farm surplus
ses." The same writer advocates selling
the nation's wheat surplus to China,
and giving that nation one-half as
favorable terms as those on which the
United States settled war debts.

Plattsmouth, Nebr., July 26.
Plattsmouth Journal:
As a candidate for State Senator
on the democratic ticket on August
12 primary, I believe my public is
entitled to my views on current
events of this district.
First, I live within my Income and
expect to keep the state within Its
income.
Second, I am against voting bonds
and going into debt in order to build
good roads as fast as the federal
money comes in.
Building good roads is like raising
a family. One at a time is plenty
fast, or at least the cash on hand for
that year is all I am willing to spend
for good roads and the years are
going to keep coming, so is the mon
ey and so is good roads, and usually
so does the family.
Third, I am against building any
more highways until we have our
rural mail routes well taken care of.
With federal and state aid on the
rural routes it should not take very
many years.
Fourth (Perhaps this should have
been first), I am for the Bank Guar
antee law which the Supreme Court
has decided is constitutional. The
state banks owe $2,900,000 in back
taxes. What would happen to you if
you refused to pay your taxes?
What should happen to these
bankers?
Should we donate $2,900,000 to
the bankers in back taxes and vote
to pay it ourselves and the rest of
the $S, 000, 000 which so far the de
positors have not received?
I am against doing this!
It was the bankers and not the
state who told depositors that the
state was back of deposits. As a
matter of fact the state is back of it,
but is mighty lax in enforcing collections.
Living within ray income and the
law compelling candidates to pay for
publishing their views, compels me
to say, "Meet me at the democratic
primary August 12, 1930."
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE WALTER OLSEN.

has been made here. The weddin
took place at Hiawatha, Kas., Friday
July 18, the judge of Brown county

as a surprise to friends of the couple

well known from his high school
days.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. James Ford of Brownville. Sh

schools and Peru State Teachers' Col

HONOR GRANDMOTHER OZBUN
From Monday's Daily
At Greenwood park in Des Moines
yesterday, July 27th, were gathered
some one hundred and sixteen des
cendants of Mrs. Elvira Ozbun
mother of Mrs. M. S. Briggs, whom
it will be remembered has visited in
Plattsmouth often and also made
her home with her daughter for a
number of years to pay honor to this
pioneer and evince the pleasure that
is theirs that she is with them and
able to enjoy such an occasion.
These occasions have been cele
brated annually for a number of
years and are courted as one of the
days which the large family seek to
make a happy event, and are general
ly at the Greenwood park at Dos
Moines near where the larger portion
of the families reside. This year Mr
and Mrs. M. S. Briggs were not ther
as the delicate health, the long dis
tance and the excessively warm wea
ther, made it not convenient to at
tend. None were present from Ne
braska though there are some seven
or eight families of the relationship
residents here: Mrs. Elvira Ozbun
was born in Indiana. September 27,
1S37, and will be ninety-three years
of age this fall.
VETERAN EDITOR IN RACE
"MIKE" FOR COMMANDER
Marcus L. Poteet, of Lincoln, well
known figure in American Legion
circles and who is the commander
of the 12th district of which the
Plattsmouth post is a part, is being
suggested for state commander of
the Legion at the forthcoming state
convention at North Platte. "Mike"
as he is well known, has been a fre
quent visitor here and has a host of
friends in the local Legion post who
would be more than pleased to see
him named for the state leader. As
Mr. Poteet is the only one of the
veterans suggested from this part of
the state for the office there is little
doubt that the posts in this locality
would be back of the Lincoln man for
the office. Col. Phil L. Hall of Green
wood, who was the choice of Cass
county at the last convention has
not as yet announced whether he
would allow the use of his name in
the state convention. .
There is no slack business period
for the merchant who advertises his
goods the year 'round.
The outcome of the race for the
republican nomination for lieutenant
governor is being watched with a
great deal of interest in Cass county.
as one of the former republican lead
ers of the county is now seeking
nomination to that office. This is
J. A. Gardner, for many years editor
and publisher of the Beacon at Eagle,
and who is now conducting a paper
at Lewellen. If party loyalty is to
be awarded, certainly the republi
can party could make no more worthy
choice, as Mr. Gardner has in season
and out supported his party and
while they might not measure up
to his own ideas as to the conduct
of governmental affairs, still he has
served loyally and well in the ranks
of the party. His qualifications for
the office are excellent and as far
as his personal record and standing
is concerned there could be no better.
If the friends of "Jim" Gardner are
appreciative of his work in the ranks
of his party, Cass county should give
him a fine vote at the primary.

With the arrest Saturday evening
at Council Bluffs of John Mont
gomery, 25, and Richard Mayfield,
22, deserters from Fort Crook, was
exploded the theory that Mayfield, a
member of the guard detail, had been
held in capticity by the prisoners he
was sent to guard. The arrest de
veloped the fact that Mayfield had
joined Montgomery and Roy F. Com
stock, prisoners in their deserting
and was not an unwilling victim of
the prisoners.
The two men were arrested after
they were turned in by William Wal
ters of Council Bluffs, a brother-in-law
of Montgomery and at whose
home they had sought shelter.
Comstock, aged 17, was able to
make his getaway adn has so far
eluded the efforts'to capture him and
it is thought may make efforts to
reach his old home in Illinois.
The escape of the men was fol
lowed by a general search over the
territory from Fort Crook to this
city by members of the 17th in
fantry as it was thought that the
men had made their way southward
after making their escape from the
army post.
