Charles J. Fox, Publisher of
the Tientsin (China) North
China Star, Says:
That on the other side of the
world, in Tientsin, China, the
city where Herbert Hoover, a
quarter of a century ago “made
his first millionf’ is a large
American colony guarded by
the Fifteenth United States In-
fantry under Brig. Gen. Joseph
Castner and the Third Brigade
United States Marines under
Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler,
with tanks, airplanes and field
artillery.
There are a hundred or more
American firms doing an import
and export business between
North China and the TJhited
States and other parts of the
world. The American Consular
District of Tientsin manages
Sino-American and other Amer-
ican affairs in -a district larger
than a dozen states of the Un-
ion.
There is an American school
attended by children from the
French, British. Japanese, Ital-
ian, ex-Russian and ex-German
Concessions in Tientsin. There
is an American Chamber of
Commerce and an American As-
sociation. American motor cars
exceed all others1 in the crowd-
ed streets of Tientsin, where
traffic regulations are in charge
of Chinese police, under the di-
rection of British. French, Ital-
ian or Japanese Chiefs of Police,
according to the particular Con-
cession one happens to be run-
ning through. There is an
American daily newspaper.

munity.
Thousands of Chinese employ-

AUSTIN, Aug. 4.—(INS)—Two v* tor-
sos of Texas politics, representing
widely different-streams of • political
thought, are today pitted together in
the August run-off for Lieutenant
Governor as a result of the recent
Democratic primary. They are Lieut.
Gov. Barry Miller, seeking a third
term, and State Senator Thomas B.
Love, who has bolted the Smith-Rob-
inson ticket. *
Both Miller and Love reside in Dal-
las county and have exercised wide
influence in politics over a long
period. They have been bitter oppon-
ents for years.
Miller is rated one of the state’s
greatest oraters, trained in the old
school of stump speaking and a pest
master in the art of political cam-
paiyning. Love is shrewd, canny, with
a genius for organization and de-
clared by hiB friends to be without a
superior in the management of con-
ventions.
Both Love and Miller have served
in the lower house of the Texas Leg-
islature, and both men made out-
standing records. Miller, with W. T.
Bagby, “The Lion of Lavaca,” charm-
ed the house and galleries often witn
eloquence seldom surpassed in Texas
legislative halls. The advice of Love
was eagerly sought because of hi3
keen knowledge of measures and

men.
Because of their strong political
convictions and their quickness to
express them, Miller and Love have
often been brought into the turmoil
of Texas politics—almost always on
opposing sides.
Love has been strong in his con-
demnation of the national ticket while
Miller has been quick to defend it.
The race is attracting national atten-
tion because of Love’3 long activity
in National Politics and because he
is credited, whether actually or not,
with being the “power behind the
throne” in the oposilion to Smith in
Texas.
