homes of the fashionable society
folk and along the water front on
the Embarcadero. which Is the
scene of a thrilling chase after kid-

band of crooks.

Margaret Lindsay, who have the ro-
mantic leads in the picture, “Fog

role in “Fog Over Frisco,” playing at
the Texas theatre Thursday and

thrills out of life.
“Fog Over Frisco” Is a melodra-

THE TEXAN
By HERBERT PLUMMER
WASHINGTON—Opposition to the
administration in democratic pri-
maries, while never expected to
reach appreciable proportions, has
been something of a revalatlon to
“new dealers” by its absence.
All have been struck by the fact
that to date, almost without excep-
tion, In those states where demo-
cratic candidates actually were not
lyrical in their praise of President
Roosevelt and the “new deal” they
have trailed the field.
In Virginia an exception must he
made. There Senator Harry Byrd
has been rather severe In his criti-
cism of the administration—espe-
cially AAA policies. But, it Is argued,
in Virginia Byrd heads a local or-
ganization which Is unbeatable and
may do and say pretty much what he
pleases.
It has been a different story else-
where.
Hard On Critics
There is Missouri, for example.
Senator Bennett Clark’s record in
the seventy-third Congress toward
administration policies in the mak-
ing shows that at times he was skep-
tical and at others In open opposi-
tion. Clark backed Representative
Milligan in a three-way race for the
democratic senatorial nomination.
Milligan ran third.
In West Virginia Clem Shaver,
democratic wheelhorse, was refused
the senatorial nomination. Charges
were made during the campaign that
he was not in “complete sympathy”
with the “new deal” and his oppo-
nents pointed to the criticisms made
by his political mentor, John W. Da-
vis. (Davis made Shaver chairman
of the democratic national commit-
tee when he was the party’s presi-
dential nominee in 1924.)
In Kansas, Omar B. Ketchum won
the democratic nomination for gov-
ernor on a sweeping pro-administra-
tion platform.
Brown of Kentucky was defeated
for re-election to the House but the
man who beat him was Just as ar-
dent a “new dealer” as he was. The
same is true In the cases of the vet-
eran Representatives McKeown and
McClintlc of Oklahoma, who were
defeated.
There’s no record to date of a
case where even a mild democratic
critic of the administration has tri-
umphed.

able.

ment has aided financially are eager

good many persons seem anxious for
a continuation of their present state.
Whether this feeling will prevail
until election day In November Is
the thing which naturally Is worry-
ing some political leaders.
