LI m MIS i f-f nv uin. mai.i nv (Copyrlgt, 1935, by Paul Mallon) ' WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. The un- President campaign Is the main topic wherever ttepuo llcan bigwigs stop to gossip. Originally It cen tered In the mid west. Within the last few week It has extended east. - Among those supposed to have Joined up lately sis Bill Dono van and Jim Watson, two well-known lieu- PAUL SIALLOU tenants In the Republican army ot old. One of Mr. Hoover's ex-mentors has been expressing the opinion In party councils that the Chicago editor Is already so far out In front that he cannot be headed off. That Is sn Isolated view, as yet. However, the movement has grown sa formidable that it Is developing Inside opposition and even a whis pering campaign. Soft-voiced antag onists are questioning Col. Knox's party record, saying he once sup ported a Democratic candidate for governor, and such things. Ths open nature of the race among Republicans was Indicated by a na tionally unobserved poll out In In diana a few days ago. A member of the Indiana Republi can association sent out 500 straw ballots to editors, district and county chairmen and vice-chairmen asking them to vote their preference for the nomination. On the 280 ballots which were returned there were votes lor 37 different persons. . Conse quently, no one candidate could have received very many. The detailed results were not given out, but It is understood that Frank Knox ran first. Senator Vandenberg second and Senator Dickinson third. Republican authorities are not paying much attention to the Lucas poll on presidential candidates. At first they thought It was a stunt to promote Mr. Hoover for renoml natlon, but now they are not so sure. The conductor of the poll. Robert Lucas, was formerly a Hoover counsellor, but has not been lately. He has no known factional connec tions. The regularly constituted Republi can authorities wero arnawd to note on Mr. Lucas- list of Republican presidential prospects a man ot whom they had never heard an Arthur W. Little of New York.

BILL WILL RAISE Tf Senate Action Completes Most Important Measure on Roosevelt's Program Drop Clark Amendment WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. (AP) Senate approval today completed con gressional action on the administra tion social security bill, regarded by President Roosevelt as the most Im portant of his entire legislative pro gram. The bill, carrying 'the biggest tax program In American history, now goes to the White House for the president's signature. It is little different from the form In which he submitted It to congress last January, desplto the seven months of bickering and controversy. Congressional approval was com pleted when the senate agreed to the elimination of the Clark, (D.. Mo.), amendment which would have ex empted private company pension plans, offering benefits equal to those provided by the government, from the old age pension taxes. The house and senate had been at odds over the amendment for weeks. The deadlock was broken only yes terday, when the senate conferees yielded in the face of the congres sional rush for adjournment. Approval of the bill moved con gress another big step toward the end of the session. Eventually It is estimated the bill will raise almost 93.000,000.000 an nually for old age and unemployment benefits, equal to 10 times the rev enue from the pending tax bill.

Stuart and Sons of Medford were last night unanimously awarded the contract for- construction of the new sewage disposal plant here, at a special meeting of the city council. The Stuart bid was $102,256.75 for the completed plant, work to start 10 days after acceptance of the con tract by C. C. Hockley, PWA head at Portland. Hockley's acceptance Is a forgone conclusion, he having intimated his approval earlier In the year. In view of the cooperation of the Jackson county chamber of commerce in ob taining the concession from the gov ernment, and their work locally, it was decided by the council to turn the contract over to the chamber of ficials for their inspection before sub mitting it to Hockley. The land on which the plant will be built has already been purchased, at a cost of $3,500, and the engineer ing fee, about seven percent of the Stuart Contract, will be met by mon ics already appropriated. Stuart's contract calls for comple tlon of the project within 10 months from the time work is started, accord ing to City, Superintendent Fred Schcffel. KLAMATH FALLS. Aug. 9.

(tfl Riches Just beyond her reach, contrasted with a life of drudgery as a farmer's wife, caused Mrs. Marguerite F.
