Thirtieth Year fin an mi By PAUL MALLOX (Coio right, 1S35, by Paul Mallon) EL PASO, Texas, Oct. 0. Governor London of Kansas Is the man to watch In the race tor the Repub lican presidential nomination. Top men In the party through the west seem to be strong for him private 1 y. Apparently they Intend to keep their senti ments to them selves for & while to see how things shape up. But when the right time cornea, it r.U 1. .MALLON looks now as If they will step out for the Kansas Coolidge. The trend seems to be a natural groundswell which Is swelling more rapidly and extensively than some of London's aovlsers would like to see. No Inside or outside campaign Is be ing organized for him. It is Just that the influential party men have been looking into his record and like hfm. You will be surprised when you hear some of tlieir names. Republican constitutionalists are not as strong for a constitutional type of campaign as their published statements indictae. They are for tho constitution, all right, and they believe such a current campaign was patriotically necessary to hold legal reins pn the New Deal. . But they have no idea -that It is the type of campaign to use in a popular appeal for votes next year. The '36 campaign will be an appeal for business ad ministration, for curtailed spending, not for abolition of the New Deal entirely and not especially constitu tional. You can bet on that. The major problem of the New Deal can be reduced to simple division out here, where two from two still leaves two. The government has spent $2,000, 000 here to straighten the winding Rio Qrande for flood control. About $2,000,000 has been given for needed construction at Port Bliss, an Impor tant border post. A new federal build ing Is being constructed at a cost of $650,000. Thus, about $5,000,000 has been pent In this community of approxi mately 100,000 persons, of whom 40. 000 are Americans and 60.000 Mexi cans. This means the government has pent about $50 per person for works In this community. It has been a hypodermic to the community. It has enabled business here to operatae at a level of about 10 per cent above last year, even with existing cotton uncertainty. But there were still 3.535 cases on relief the other day. Figuring four persons to the case, this would be (Continued on Page Four.) BARBER GETS HIS MAN; COMPLETES HAIRCUT WARREN, O., Oct. 9. (AP) M. M.
