The secret of the Pennsylvania pri
mary Ilea not In the way people
voted, but In the way they didn't.
There were 2.752,327 persona who
took the trouble
to register them
selves as Repub
licans last No
vember, when
the new deal was
at Its height.
Last Tuesday,
more than half
of those people
would not take
the trouble to
vote In their
party primary,
although It was
auDDoscd to be a
Paul Mallon
hot contest between Square
Deal
Heed and New Deal Plncnot.
The
final Reed-Pinchot vote will not add
up to more than 1,200,000.
Th excuse Dubllcly made by poll.
tlclans is the rain. They say the
ladles did not vote because they did
not want to get their spring dresses
wet. That may be a logical excuse,
but It may not be broad enough to
cover a million and a half stay-at-The
roads and streets of
Pennsylvania are well paved and there
are about as many automobiles In
the, state as there were voters in ine
Republican primary.
What the real answer Is, the poll
tlclans would like to know. It Is true
that Senator Reed did not spend
much money. His personal expendi
ture was less than 1000, which Is a
new record low for a, warm primary
mntestant m Pennsylvania. The
whUner has been that his three com.
mlttees raised and spent around
80.000. Plnchot's expenses probably
were much larger. Whatever they
were, the amount Is chicken feed
compared with the historic Vare-
Plnchot-Fcpper primary several years
ago.
Another possible explanation Is
that Plnchot has run so often for so
manv offices In Pennsylvania that ne
no longer Is a novelty at the ballot
box, while Reed Is the sort of person
who does not move crowds to go out
In the rain
a. ... th. npmncrats will
have to look hard to find anything
cheerful In the situation. Their vote
did not come rushing to the polls.
although that was hardly to ne ex
pected, because their contest did not
awaken any Interest' whatever.
Those who follow the inside of the
Pennsylvania game think they know
what happened among those who did
go to the polls.
Their explanation is that too many
of the old Plnchot supporters regis
tered Democratic this time and
walked out on the Republican pri
mary. The Reed followers were the
staunch old Republicans who are
skeptical about the new deal, who
stuck to tie a. O. P. The stickers
out-numbered the walkouts.
Registration figures tend to sub
stantiate this explanation. Normal
Democratic registration In Pennsyl
vania Is between 850,000 and 900.000
(pre-new deal.) Last November It
Jumped to 1.087,800.
How many ex-Republicans of the
Plnchot strips were among those
Jumpers no one can tell, but certain
ly more than half probably were ex
Plnchot Republicans.
When vou consider that Reed de
feated Plnchot by only 115.000 or
less, the point becomes Important.
Only one basic result of the Pcnn
sTlvanla primaries Is certain.
' It was a pat on the back for a
pood conservative Republican who
voted against the NRA, AAA, et al. It
burked tip the Republicans here from
other states at a time when they
reeded It most. It wll give them a
new lease on life and encourage re
sistance among them to the new deal
phases which Reed opposed.
What worries the Democrat Is
that they will have to rely on past
Republican votes for Democratic sue
cess.
The question Is whether they will
set enough Republican votes, and the
answer 1b, probably not In Pennsyl
vania. Under the registration of last
November, Pennsylvania was at 111
more than two and one-half to one
Republican.
Mr. Roosevelt got his fingers In the
hsir of Senator Olass by announcing
he favored the Independent stock
market commission Idea.
Olass had been rampaging because
he was left off the conference com
mittee. Floor Leader Robinson, et al..
had Just about quieted him down.
Senator Barkley went to the extent
of offering to withdraw from the
conference committee If Olass was
dl..atl.f!ed. That pleased Glass.
Then along came the White House
disfavor of the Glass Independent
commission plan, which had the same
nfect on Olass as gasoline would on
a quiet fire.

DECISIVE MARGIN
SCORED BY PAIR
IN GOVERNOR RACE
Both Ascribe Triumph To
New Deal Sales Tax
Given Bad Beating Mott,
Snell Gain Nomination.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 19. (AP)
A triumph for the New Deal and a
victory for progressive principles
that was the way the winning can
didates described their fortune today
aa the results of yesterday's state
wide primary election were tabulated
Charles H. Martin, who . retlrea
from congress to run as a democratic
candidate for the nomination as gov
ernor of Oregon, said in Washington,
D. C, "My victory shows that Ore
gon Is standing squarely behind the
New Deal. 1
Joe E. Dunne of Portland, a state
senator, huge and Jovial in contrast
to Congressman Martin's appearance
of sternness and determination, said
when assured he was the republican
nominee for govornor: "It is a vic
tory for progressive principle and
the new order of things economically
and polltlcally.,,
Mahoney Silent
Martin won a decisive, victory over
the young political firebrand from
Klamath Palls, Willis B. Mahoney,
who urged voters to support his
"anti-power trust" platform. Ma.
honey early today checked out of a
Portland hotel where he had main.
talned headquarters for several
weeks. He could not be reached for
a statement. Dunne, father of Ore
gon's 45 auto license law, was run-
nlng far ahead of all opposition as
only a few votes remained to be tab
ulated. "I am humble In victory
and grateful, Indeed." Dunne said,
and added "We must find work for
men. Our state's welfare Is para
mount."
Sales Tax Slaughtered
For the second time In two years
a proposed state sales tax went
down to a humiliating defeat. Those
opposing the measure smothered it
under a threc-to-one vote. The pro
posal, adopted by the state leglsla
ture and referred to the electorate.
would have imposed a tax of lYi per
centi on groM receipts from retail
sale of tangible personal property
and utility service. The revenue would
have gone for the relief of elementary
school districts threatened with bank
ruptcy. The measure defeated by a
four-to-one vote last year was a two
oer cent tax designed to lift the
property tax burden.
Mott Easy Victor
Representative James W. Mott
had no trouble at an In regaining
the republican nomination in the
first (western Oregon) congressional
district, and R. R. Turner, school
superintendent at Dallas, was given
the democratic nomination.
In the second district, In which
Congressman Walter M. Pierce was
unopposed for the democratic nom
ination, State Senator Jay H. Upton
of Bend took the republican nom
matlon easily.
In the third (Portland-Multnomah
county) district, Walter B. Gleason,
former democratic nominee for Unit
ed States senator, won the congres
sional nomination, while Circuit
Judge W. A. Ekwall led a largo field
of candidates for the republican
nomination.
The democratic party polled about
75.000 votes for the governorship,
while the republican voters cast
more than 130.000 ballots. The total
democratic registration, however, was
only 166,504, compsred with 285.501
for the republicans.
Snell Nominated
The republican nomination for sec
retary of state went to Earl Snell
of Arlington by almost a two-to-one
vote over Colonel Carl Abrama of
Salem. Snell's campaign note waa
service to the people.
The democratic nomination for
secretary of state went to Horace E.
Walter of Corvallls. Walter, who de
clared business must replace bick
ering on the state board of control,
had a substantial lead over Everett
Logan of Multnomah county who
waa running second, and Joseph E.
Shelton of Multnomah county In
third place.
John L. Rand of Baker county
pulled ahead with a strong margin
to succeed himself as supreme court

SEATS DICTATOR
BY COUP D'ETAT
SOFIA, May 19. (AP) The army
of Bulgaria today overthrew the na
tion's government, and King Boris,
approving the radical change, dis
solved parliament.
Whether King Boris, one or tne last
of rugged Individualist sovereigns,
engineered the military coup d'etat
was not immediately apparent on tne
streets of the capital.
Certain It was, however, that the
army had complete charge of the sit
uatlon.
Soldiers were everywhere. They had
rushed the barracks at dawn, sta
tioned themselves at every strategic
point, and had occupied all govern
ment buildings.
The public was quiet. The citizens
stayed close Indoors by orders of the
army. No rioting was reported.
The former cabinet, ousted by the
army, was arrested and placed under
guard. A new cabinet, headed by
Klmon Gueorguloff as premier, took
office at once with the sovereign's ap
proval.
It was rumored that the king had
demurred for a time at dissolving
parliament and eatabllshlng the new
form of government which was de
scribed as dictatorial.
If that rumor Is true, his hesitation
only lasted a short time, for by noon
he had signed 39 decrees of reorgan
ization. It was said that he waa not even
aware of the military movement until
troops surrounded his palace, but
there was no official Indication as to
what his knowledge of the situation
really was.
The whole operation of the coup
d'etat went like clockwork. Not only
did the military move with precision
In Sofia but they operated equally
smoothly In similar fashion through
out the provincial cities.
A manifesto addressed to the na
tion attributed the change In gov
ernment to a complete failure of the
system of party government as the
result of the extreme splitting up of
political groups Into Internal strug.
gles and political quarrels.
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, May 19.
(AP) Unconfirmed rumors today
said Yugoslav troops of the Vardar
and Morava divisions were concen
trating as a result of the coup d'etat
In Bulgaria.
A general mobilization of armed
forces was considered possible since

NEAR JUNE FIRST
WASHINOTON, May 19. Pj Whlli
both houses recessed over the week
end congressional chieftains today
surveyed the work ahead of them and
agreed there was a good chance for
adjournment by the end of the first
week In June.
With a aenat Tote on the tariff
bill in prospect, and evidence of an
early settlement of the dispute over
silver legislation, President Roosevelt's
leaders on Capitol Hill forecast clear
sailing ahead unless the administra
tion housing bill stirs up a storm, '
The housing bill had met with essy
going so far, and Chairman Fletcher
of the senate banking committee
hoped to complete hearings on it bv
the middle of next week. But leaders
could see plenty of danger for so
complicated a measure as that to
cause trouble, and even delay ad
journment. Administration leaders in the stn.
ate predicted a vote would be reached
on the reciprocal tariff bargaining
bill by the end of next week. Tint
would clear the way for consideration
of the silver and housing measures as
soon aa they were ready.
The house, which has passed the
toilff bill, will spend most of next
week working on bills that have pass
ed the senate. Including loans to in
dustry, extension of bank deposit in
surance and poMiWy the communi
cation commission bill.
