Scapa Flow and raised by the NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Results of Maine Election and the Primaries in Other States. By EDWARD W. PICKARD NE state election and a bunch of primaries served to keep up the interest in politics. From the varied results the advocates of repeal or mod- ification of prohibition derived consid- erable comfort, believing that the big dry majority in congress will be some- what reduced by November elections. In the Maine election the Repub- licans were victorious, putting their candidates in every major office. Gov. William Tudor Gardiner was re-elect. ed, defeating Edward CC. Moran, Jr. Congressman Wallace HH, White, Jr. of Lewiston chosen to succeed Arthur P. Gould by a large and all four seats in the lower house were won by Republicans, The Hoover administration was the main issue, and though the Repub- licans won, their majorities were much cut down as compared with those -of two years ago. Of the primaries, those of the Re- publicans in Michigan were the most interesting. Senator James Couzens, who is a moderate wet, won renomina- tion over Chase 8S. Osborn, dry. Rep- resentative Louis C. Crampton, a dry Jeader in the house and recognized as the of the Anti-Saloon league, was defeated by Jesse P, Wol- cott, an avowed wet, and three other wet candidates for the house won nominations, at least one of them beating a dry. Wilbur M. Brucker, attorney general, defeated former Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck for the guberna- torial nomination. In Detroit on the same day Frank Murphy was elected mayor to succeed Charles Bowles *who was recalled in July. Briefly, here are primaries: South was Senator yey 1 ity majority, spokesman results i Carolina—Democrats nom- inated James Byrnes, a dry, for the senate, defeating Senator Cole Blease, Colorado—Republicans chose George H.

Louisiana—Gov. Huey Long defeated KRenator Ransdell for the Democratic senatorial nomination after a sensa- tional eampaizn. New Hampshire—Republicans nom- inated John G. Winant for governor. Democrats named Albert W. Noone, eighty-four years old and a wet, for both governor and senator. Delaware—Republicans renominated Senator Hastings and Congressman R. G. Houston, both dry; Irenee DuPont, Republican leader, announced he would support former Senator Thomas F. Bayard, wet, whom the Democrats nominated for the senate, Washington—John F.

Carswell for governor, Arizona—George W. P. Hunt won the Democratic gubernatorial nomina- tion for the eighth time, NTRY of another woman candidate has made the senatorial campaign in Illinois a three-cornered affair, with small projections in the shape of sev. eral minor aspirants who have no chance of election. James Hamilton Lewls, the Democratic nominee, con- tinues his serene way fas a wringing wet. Representative Ruth Hanna Mec- Cormick, regular Republican nominee, found it necessary or advisable to modify her dry stand to the extent of promising to abide by the result of the referendum on prohibition, There. upon Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Nelll en- tered the race by petition as an un- qualified dry. She received the in- dorsement of the state Anti-Saloon league, but the WW. C, T. U, declined to pledge her its support, concentrat. tng instead on the referendum. Cols onel Lewis sald he feared the battle between the two women would work to his disadvantage, but his appre hension—Iif any-—was not shared by his supporters.

He had previously set it before the League's council, which contented itself with patting him on the back and passing the scheme along. M. Briand's speech was much the same ns he delivered a year ago when first proposing the federation and he did not attempt to offer details. He sald the replies to his memorandum showed the response of Europe was “firm in adherence to the principles of European collaboration,” and de- clared the proposed union must neces. garily work In close co-operation with the League of Nations, He denied again that the union would run coun ter to or be In any way inimical to the United States, Statesmen had told him, on the other hand, he declared, that relations between Europe and America could more easily be strength. ened by existence of a European or. ganization, “Twenty-seven nations have studied this question,” he concluded, “Twen- ty-seven nations have said ‘yes it can be done.’ There it is before you, Go.

It had been hoped that the dis- putes between France and Italy could be settled In conferences between Briand and Dino Grandi, the Italian foreign minister, but the latter de- parted hurriedly for Rome without ex- planation.

London, England.—A series of gor geous waterfalls never before seen by a European and practically unknown to natives has been discovered In South Afriea by Farquhar B. Macrae of the northern Rhodesian civil serv. fee, and described by him in a report to the Royal Geographical society. One of the falls Is 200 feet in height, 28 feet higher than the Niagara falls, and rivals In beauty the famous Vie torin falls, which are about twenty miles distant. This fall Is, however, only one of a series following each other In rapid succession, so that the totnl effect in that of a much greuter drop tgtaling 334 feet, They are known to the natives as the Chieng- kwasi falls and are on the Chunga river, which empties into the Zam- the Victoria falls are located. In describing the Chiengkwasi, Mr. Macrae says: “The main Chiengkwasl fall is a fine sight. Numerous green ferns grow in holes and cracks in the stone and the water dashes down over the smooth face of the rock, spurting out in litle plumes of spray wherever It meets an obstacle. In times of flood It must he an awe-inspiring sight dur. ing the few hours that such a short river would remain at its maximum height.” A few miles from the Chiengkwasl Mr. Macrae found another impressive series of five falls, The largest of these has a drop of 8 feet. “Below this fall the scenery Is most Imposing. Towering basalt precipices rise on either side of the river, whiclkk ls never more than 100 feet broud and is generally consid erably narrower. At one point the cliffs can not well be less than 400 feet high and are probably higher. They rise in one sheer wall from the water's edge. The general impression of height is greater than that con- veyed to an observer standing at the bottom of the palm grove at the Vie- toria falle™ Bride's Pet Dog Placed in the Receiving Line Boston. —*“Smudge,” the tiny pet Pekingese of the bride, occupied a place in the receiving line at the wed. ding reception of the former Miss El- len Hemenway Taintor, who became the bride of Yann Dedons de Plerrefen in the Unitarian church at Manchester by-the-Sen, The little dog, arrayed with neck bow of broad white satin ribbon, keenly felt the importance of the oc casion as he greeted the fashionable guests with short, snappy yelps and extended paw, from a ribbon trimmed basket, which rested upon a table in the reception room.
