News of the drought sends
the price of wheat climbing up

early yesterday. When the far

wheat is high in Chicago.
Captain Hawks, probably our
ablest aviator, a product of the
all-year-round flying . field of
Sau DieKo, Cal., arrived at Col-
' Jtaibus, Ohio, at 7:48 yesterday
morning, two hours and forty-
. eight minutes after leaving New
York. Six minutes after land

St. Louis.
At' -:4." p. m. yesterday,
Hawks had reached and left St.
Louis, and was about to land
at Wichita, Kas., with'' a good
prospect of lowering, the 15-
hour record that ho had set for

Making inorc than 200 miles

Attacks Unwarranted.

'Claudius H. Huston of Tennessee
submitted his promised resfenation
as Republican national chairman
to tho pa,ty's executive committee
today and direction of the fall
campaign .was turned over to Sen- j
ator Fess of Ohio and Robert II. I
Lucas of Kentucky.
Fess, a staunch administration
supporter, was appointed chairman
of the national committee.
It had been announced Fess
would be made provisional chair
man, pending a fall meeting of the
committee to select a permanent
chairman.
James Francis Burke, general
counsel, said, however, it had been
found the executivo committee had
full powers and Fess' selection
would not have to be ratified later.
Lucas, president commissioner
of internal revenue, was named
executive chairman. He will carry
the burden of directing the party
forces in the approaching cam
paign and will resign his treasury
post soon to devote his entire time
to the new job.
Part y Conies First
In submitting his resignation,
Huston said he was conscious of
his own integrity, but was putting
the interest of the Republic- n
party ahead of personal considera
tions so the organization might
Holoct a leader free from tho pres
ent factional opposition.
"No man in political life," he
said, "has ever been subject to
more unjust and unwarranted at
tacks." The new alignment of the Re
publican organization leadership
wont- through - as - forecast . many
weeks ago when agitation was at
its height for Huston to step aside,

Needed, Says McBride.
ITTLI3 POINT SABLIC, Mich..
Aug. 7. iP) Executives of the
Anti-Saloon league ct' America,
gathered hero in conference, al
ready are preparing for another
wet and dry fight In the 1932 pres
idential election.
Tho Democratic party, they con
cede, will then be stronger than it
was in 1928 and in the words of
Dr. F. Scott McBride, national sup
erintendent of the league, chances
of having a Democratic nominee
friendly to prohibition are not
very hopeful."
Gathered yesterday for the open
ing session of their conference in
a little, church almost hidden by
sand aunes on tne astern snore ol
Lake Michigan, tho league execu
tives from all over the United
States heard reports predicting few
reversals for the cause of prohi
bition In the fall elections.
10 x press Alarm.
Although those elections are the
Immediate concern of the league,
principal alarm wa scxpressed over
the activities "within Democratic
ranks thus far In advance of the
next presidential election.
To counteract those activities,
Dr. McRrido urged accumulation
of a bigger war chest, strengthen
ing of state organizations and plan
ning a definite offensive against
the wets.
"I am of the opinion," Dr. M3
Hride said, "that the time Is over
ripe to go to tho public with h
challenging rail and a program. A
more adequate fund for a more
adequate program Is demanded If
we ro io meet the needs of the
day."
Cheerful Note.
Dr. MoBride Mounded a cheerful
note In his report of the politics!
situation to date.
"So far." he said, "twenty prl
msry elections have been held. Ii

the primary is the real election.

"These 20 primaries have em
braced most of the doubtful dis

tending from Oregon to Maine and
embracing the Very clrtical slates
of Pennsylvania. New Jersey and

that the wets have had their chance
