per cent in last Saturday’s tabulation and now stands ta 455 per cent with a total of 7104 ballots counted As the volume of scratching mounts the strength of Mayor Harman W Peery of Ogden independent candidate for governor naturally increases as most of the shifting is in his direction Here is the way the scratched ballots are distributed: From Blood to Peery From Blood to Diliman From Dillman to Peery Total BAYONETS TURN RED IN CLASH Alcazar Garrison Stands Off Attack by Copyright 1936 Associated Press HAVANA Cuba Sept 20— Dynamite wrecked the plant of the news paper El Pais Sunday demolished a Catholic church 45 minutes before the first Sunday mass killed four persons and spread damage throughout the city’s metropolitan area At least 20 persons were injured Police arrested 20 members of the Spanish "socialist circle in their investigation of the blast and raided the organization’s offices Wide Circulation El Pais sympathetic in editorials to fascists in the Spanish civil war circulates widely among Spanish residents here Police prevented dynamiting of the conservative newspaper Diario de la Marina by breaking wires attached to 1000 sticks of dynamite outside the plant Only a few statues remained to verify the site of the church Nues tra Senora de Monserrate across the street from El Pals The altar pews ceilings and wails were destroyed Debris was spread over a wide

2820 votes' to Peery arfd Dillman whereas he has received only 114 Republican votes This gives him a net loss of 2706 Ray E Dillman Republican nominee has lost a total of 414 Landon supporters to his two rivals but has profited to the extent of 767 votes as a result of the scratching against Governor Blood He therefore has a net gain of 353 votes which is more than his margin of leadership in the three-corner- ed gubernatorial race Obviously the problem of the Democrats on a basis of the straw poll returns to date is to get a larger percentage of the Roosevelt supporters to vote straight and their campaign material is stressing this point All of the populous central Utah counties are scratching heavily in the poll whereas the southern and extreme northern counties are more inclined to vote the party ticket straight Compared to normal years however the scratching could be described as heavy throughout theentire state Tuesday morning The Tribune will publish a county table of the gubernatorial scratches showing just where Mayor Peery 's 2409 votes came from Watch The Tribune daily for reports on this and other interesting phases of the poll and don't forget to promptly mark

now see that the kind of war the people of Europe have been dreading after listening to the military prophets is far less terrible than the war which would actually take place They have been thinking

farm organizations perhaps limited to one or two major crops the first year and made available “only to farmers cooperating in farm and soil conservation programs” He suggested in addition a “system of storage reserves” In the letter to Cooke announcing organization of a committee to replace the temporary Great Plains drouth committee the president said: “I am anxious that we leave no stone unturned in exploring and reporting on all the possibilities of this (Great Plains) region as one in which reasonable standards of living can be maintained by the largest possible population Made Necessary We should face the fact that the climatic conditions make special safeguards absolutely necessary” The president expressed interest in agriculture department studies of a plan for payment of
