' v : I SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21. Cali fornia voters will go to the polls Tuesday, August 31, to cast their ballots for candidates seeking party nominations for various offices at the state primary election. Of the sev eral Issues confronting the voters, the principal Interest lies in the con test among three candidates for the republican nomination for United States senator. The winner of this triangular race will be opposed at the November general election by United btates Senator James D. Phelan, who is running unopposed on the party ballot for the democratic nomination. The three candidates for the re publican senatorial nomination are William Kent of Kentfield, Marin county, former representative in con gress from the first district; Samuel M. Shortrldge, a San Francisco attor ney, and Albert J. Wallace of Ls Angeles- lieutenant-governor of Cali fornia in the first administration of Governor Hiram W. Johnson. From among; these three candidates the voter will register his choice and the successful nominee will fight it out with Senator Phelan on November 2. In four of the state's 11 congres sional districts there are no contests for party nominations. These dis tricts are the third, fourth, fifth and 11th, and they have but one candi date each on the party ballots. Con sequently the candidate is assured of his own party nomination. Situation Is Peculiar. The situation differs in the remain ing districts in that the voter will find that he has a choice of two or more candidates on his party ballot. As a case in point, political observ ers call attention to the republican contest In the firet congressional dis trict, where the incumbent repre sentative, Clarence F. Lea, unopposed on the democratic ticket, is also a candidate for nomination on the re ' publican ticket, but has opposed to him three other republican candi dates. In order to leave himself a clear field for the November elec tion. Mr. Lea would have to win the republican nomination. The supreme and appellate court candidates are voted on non-parti-ean ballots, the judiciary having been removed from political consideration by legislative enactment a number of years ago. The supreme court ticket will list the names of Warren Olney Jr. of Berkeley, incumbent, who is unop posed for the associate justiceship made vacant by the resignation of Justice M. C. Sloss, and of Justice W. A. Sloane of San Diego and Judge John M. York of the superior court of Los Angeles county, the latter two being contestants for the unex pired term of the late Justice Henry A. Melvln. This vacancy was filled recently by the ad interim appoint ment of Justice Sloane by Governor Stephens. Justice Sloane previously was a member of the second district court of appeals, division No. 2. Snperlor Jodgre la Candidate There are contests for two associ ate Justiceships in division No. 2 of both the first and second appellate court districts. In division No. 2 of the first appellate district. Justices Frank S. Brittain and John T. Nourse are candid-ates to succeed themselves, and opposing them for one of the places on the bench is Judge George A. Sturtevant of the superior court of San Francisco county. In division No. 2 of the second appellate court district, which em braces 12 counties In the southern section of the state, there are four candidates for the two positions. These candidates are incumbent Jus tices William H. Thomas, Santa Ana, and Dana R. Weller, L03 Angeles, and Superior Judges Gavin W. CraigJ and Lewis R. Works, both of whom are members of the Los Angeles county superior courts. For presiding Justice of division No. 1 of the first appellate court divi sion. William H. Waste, incumbent, of Berkeley, Is unopposed, as are Wil liam H. Langdon of Alameda, in cumbent, for presiding Justice of di vision No. 2 of the first appellate court district, and Frank G. Finlay son of Los Angeles, incumbent, for presiding Justice of the second ap pellate court district. Legislative Candidates Numerous. Candidates are numerous for the tipper and lower houses of the legis lature and contests for party nom inations prevail in nearly all the sen ate and assembly districts. The com plexion -of the legislature is changed every two years by the election of 80 assemblymen, which is the full strength of the lower, house, and by the election of 20 senators, or half the number of the upper house. This year the 20 senators will be chosen from " the odd-numbered districts. Thus the legislature always holds over in the biennial sessions halt its personnel in the upper house. The party conventions held at Sac ramento on the third Tuesday in September after the primary election are provided for in the direct primary law for the purpose of adopting plat- forms for the November campaigns, electing members of the various state central committees and, in presiden tial election years, of nominating; presidential electors. The memberships of the party con ventions are composed of candidates nominated in the August primary election for congressional and state offices and of delegates elected from the holdover senatorial districts. Nominees for judicial and school of fices are not eligible to participate in the convention proceedings, as these offices are non-partisan. In the event that a candidate for a congressional or' state office re ceives the nomination of more than one party, the primary law provides that he shall attend the convention only as a member of the party, of which he is a registered Voter. Thus, a democrat winning his own party nomination and a nomination on the republican ticket would have a voice and vote only in the democratic con vention. The party conventions usually con clude their business without delay. The primary law requires that the platforms shall be made public not later than 6 o'clock in the afternoon of the day following the opening of the convention.

WRECK VICTIMS MISSING 2 8 MEN AND WOMEN BELIEVED DEAD XX LAICE ACCIDENT. if i . 1 if! . - iiii Explosion of Boiler Quickly Fol lows Collision of Superior City With. Willis Jj. King. SATJLT STE MARIE, Mich.. Aug. 21. Coast guards and lake steamers conducted a futile search tonight for survivors of the steamer Superior City, which went down off Whitefish point late Friday night after a col lision with the Willis L. King:, ac cording to meager reports. Twenty-eight members of the crew and one woman were missing, and the four survivors brought here after be ing picked up from the wreckage had all but abandoned hope for their rescue, owing to the short time that had elapsed between the collision and an explosion In the boiler room which wrecked the stern of the steel ore carrier. Peter. Jacobson, a survivor, who was at the wheel when his ship was rammed, declared the King bore down on them after the exchange of the usual signals. The sea was calm and the weather was rather hazy, but he could easily desttnguieh the lights of the King, he declared. Captain Herman Nelson of the King, however, asserted that a fog enveloped the vessels. Belief that a number of the missing were killed or severely Injured by the explosion was expressed by Cap tain Edward Sawyers of the Superior City. The majority were in state rooms directly over the boiler room, he said. He attributed the sudden sinking of his vessel to her heavy cargo of ore. "I sank deep into the icy water," he said, "and the shock brought me back to my senses. I thought I would never reach the surface. After swimming five minutes, up from the depths came a steamer's hatch cover, upon, which I climbed and hung until picked up." BIB' HEW FOB OPENING INTEREST KEEN IN SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON EVENT.
