WASHINGTON, D. C, May 31. The
country seems to bo rather quiet, po
litically. If the people are angry at anyone,
they have failed
to show It In
even primary
elections so far.

mistakable news

A check shows that u those pri
maries exactly 100 sitting congress
men went up against the electoral
guns for renomlnatlon and 98 came
off victorious. Only four were de
nied the renomlnatlon. Two were
Democrats and two Republicans.
Such a low mortality rate Is ex
tremely unusual.
When the people are aroused they
ordinarily take It out on the "Ins."
That Is what they did two yeari
ago The heads of sitting congressmen
were lopped off In the primaries by
the dozens. The country apparently
was bent on annihilating everyone
who had a federal Job.
So far thla year Democratic Repre
sentatives Jeffera of Alabama and
Nesblt of Illinois are the only two
among 57 of ther Democratic con
gressmen to get the axe. They are
admittedly Isolated cases. Jeffers Is
supposed to have lost because he re
ceived officers' retirement pay. or at
least, that was an Issue In the cam
paign. Nesblt ran up against the In
fluential Democartic leader, Igoe, of
Illinois. .
The two Republicans to fall were
Simpson of Illinois and Waldron of
nnnvliAnla. also Isolated cases.
Forty of their Republican comrades
were renominated.

this, savins:
ir.irtnt Roosevelt. It certainly does,
aa far aa the Democratic party la
concerned. But It also shows the
Republican voters are equally well
astlsfled with the two men represent
ing them In congress.
There .will be dispute as to whether
this catlsfled look among voters on
both sides of the fence la a harbin
ger' of a Democratic victory when
the fence la torn down In the fall
and the two parties tear ltno each
other. You can tell better about
that along about next October.
For the present the Democrats are
Insisting they will lose no more than
It house seate In November. The Re
publicans are hoping for a gain of
between 80 and 75.
Such claims are not worth the
breath It takes to make them.
No one can tell accurately now
what the temper of the country will
be five months hence.
The navy haa only half covered the
failure of the Macon In the southern
maneuvers. Very soon the fact will
be out that the llghter-than-alr-craft
apparently Is a balogna In fact aa
well as In shape.
The battleship admirals will be
pleased. They have never thought
much of giant dirigibles. Mr. Roose
velt may hear something about It
when he reviews the fleet. These de
velopments will probably force con
gress to take a definite attitude on
llghter-than-alr naval policy. Dirigi
ble enthusiasts always seem to be
able to get millions out of congress.
They did after the sensational disas
ters to the Akron and Shenandoah.
It will be harder next time.

The wise men In Wall street know
they csn make money as usual under
the new stock market bill. They
realize they are very, very lucky that
the regulations are no worse from

The Idea seems to be that high

sharply by halves Instead of eighths

msy rise and fall by quarters.
These are only general expecta

LONDON, Eng., May 31. (AP)
Three attempt to kidnap members
of his family from his home at Bev
erly Hills, Cal., have been graphically
described by E. L. Cord, American
automobile and airplane magnate, to
English acquaintances.
One of the attempts, Involving the
use of a mysterious airplane, waa
said to have resulted in the advice of
a California chief of police to the
American millionaire to take his fam
ily out of the United States for an
extended visit abroad.
It waa learned definitely today that
Cord has been in England since the
middle of April, a date correspond
ing to the sensational kidnaping
cases of William P. Qettle in Call
fornla and June Rob lea In Arizona.
Cord haa taken a home In Surrey
and it was said he does not Intend
to return to the United Stats until
the kidnaping panic has died down.
k On one occasion, according to an
informant In whom Cord confided,
an airplane flew over the Cord estate
In California getting the lay of the
land and, possibly taking pictures.
The plane was said to have been
traced to a secret landing place
across the border in Mexico.
Later a guard at the Cord home
was said suddenly to have been sur
prised by an unidentified man who
shoved a revolver into his ribs. The
guard, however, was saved by a com
panion hidden In the shrubbery who
fired at the assailant, supposed to
have been a would-be kidnaper.
A third attempt was believed to
have been made when a man waa
found lurking on the estate.
Despite the strong guard which
the Cords may have had in the Unit
ed States, the family Is under no
protection here.

Roosevelt.
The ceremony took place off Am

(AP) The cruiser Indianapolis, with

the third time.

at Gettysburg, where he called upon
the nation for "a- new understand

New York to review the fleet.
Snatching a few hours away from
the trails of the recovery campaign
and from the rumbles of economlo
war in the steel and cotton textile
Industries, the president, lover of the
sea and of fighting ships, turned
down New York harbor to inspect
the American sea forces which, as as
sistant secretary of the navy, he
helped command during the world
war.
With him were Josephus Daniels,
who was secretary of the navy in
those anxious days, and Claude Swan
son, the present secretary.
The crack of wireless flashes from the
ships at sea beckoned the presiden
tial party, aboard the cruiser Indian
