WEST VIRGINIA FIGHT
GETS FRESH IMPETUS

CHARLESTON, W. Va, October 2
Especially Senator Harding's visit to
West Virginia this week, followed
twenty-four hours later by Franklin D.
Roosevelt, democratic nominee for Vice
President, injected new life into the
state campaign, and increased activity
on the part of all parties is predicted by
leaders. Both visited Wheeling, Roose-
welt the night after Harding had been
there, and both received receptions and
addressed audiences about equal in size
and enthusiasm, according to unbiased
observers.
Senator Davis Elkins, who arrived in
Charleston Thursday after q tour Of the
state, said Senator Harding made thir-
teen speeches at eleven places, land II
you could have witnessed the enthu-
siasm Of the crowds everywhere you
would have no doubt that West Virginia
will give sweeping: plurality for the
republican ticket"
On the other hand, Mr.. Roosevelt pre-
dicted big draft of republican and In
dependent voters to the democratic
ticket in West Virginia on the league OF
nations question.
Chief political interest in this state
reverts to the three-cornered contest fol
the governorship between Arthur b
Koontz, democrat; E. F. Morgan, repub.
lican, and Samuel B. Montgomery, Non
Partisan League, who Is backed by the
labor element and who was defeated In
the primaries by Morgan. The three ap.
pear to be neck and neck in the opinion

.SENATORSH|P FIGHT
RACES IN Indiana
Enormous and Enthusiastic
Crowds Greet Both Candi-
dates in Hoosier State.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
IND1ANAPOLIS. Ind. October 2.
For the last week the political
iimetight has been on the United States
sIe Sc campaign in Indiana.
James E. Watson. republican candi-
date for reelection, has been keeping
up the hot pace in speechmakine that
, ne set for himself two or three weeks
ago. His itinerary sometimes calls
Tor six or eight speeches day with
CART Watson's democratic opponent,
also jumped into the campaign this
week, and has been making speeches
all over the eighth congressional
district. Both candidates, according
to the word that has reached India
thusiastic crowds.
Senator Watson has been devoting
his attention to the national issues,
particularly the league of nations and
the alleged extravaganza Of the dem
ocratic administration.
1t appears to be evident that the
democrats think they have a better
chance to defeat Watson than they
have to carry the national ticket in the
state. 1t is apparently on this ac-
count that Watson is to be made the
target of many stump attacks.
Some of those who are interested
in the senatorship fight have gone
back through the records and have
ascertained that in national elections
the state never has, except in few
instances, been carried by any presi-
Dental candidate by more than 5000
or 10000. The exceptions were the
gold democrat campaign of 1896. when
Mckinley carried the state by 1929;
1900, when McKinley's plurality was
26,479: 1904, when Roosevelt carried
the state over Alton B. Parker by
1894. and 1912. when Wilson, due to
the progressive split, carried the
state by a plurality of 1883. In
other years since 1880 the plurality in
the state has never run higher than
10000. and in 1888, when Harrison
was a candidate, went by about 1000.
1t seems to be the opinion among
some democrats of political expert
ence that it would have been better
for the party if Gov. Cox had not be-
come quite so bitter in some of his
western speeches. His reference to
Senator Harding, as a brewer, is one
of the remarks referred to in this
connection. Gov. Cox will be In In
diana in the next week or two, and it
is likely that some advice on this
question viii be offered him. It Is
understood that Gov. Cox will con-
fer with Mr.. Taggart before he
speaks in Indiana.

COLORADO REPUBLICANS
OUT FOR FINISH fight
Compromises Admitted to Be Nee
essary by Leaders in Both
Political Parties.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DENVER, Col. October with
the Phipps faction winner in the re-
publican senatorial primary contest,
the republican party is gathering up
a somewhat disorganized democratic
lineup, but formidable in battle array.
Wise maneuvering is seen in the
political play of James NJ. Collins,
who, running on a Non-PaTtisan
League platform, that rings of state
socialism. won the democratic nomi-
nation for governor. He urged sup
port of Gov. Cox for President in a
brief rear-platform speech in the
presence of the Ohio governor during
the latter's recent visit in Colorado.
Max F. Hays has replaced Collins
as the Farmer-Labor choice for gov
ernor, which, from all appearances,
has been a crushing blow to the Nom
partisan Lea que. Judge TIlly Scott
of the supreme court has captured
the democratic senatorial nomination
from w. r. Callicotte.
Collins has further clarified the is
sues by .eclaring that there is no
connection whatever between the
Farmer-Labor party and the Nom
Partisan League, of which he is state
chairman. Petitions are out for the
designation o. complete Farmer
Labor ticket, which Collins charges
is merely state delegation of forty
Fighters" representing neither the
conserva tive farmers nor the rank and
file of organized labor

said, Compromise will be necessary

Compromise is also apparent in the
ranks of republicans, in the re-elec-
ton of Rush L. Holland of Colorado
Springs as state chairman.

Borah is another republican who is
being heard in Connecticut. Senator
Brandegee himself is speaking in
many parts of the state, and is get
stituents.
The league of nations issue is like
ly to result in the switching of many
votes, as republicans are found who
will vote against their party on this
issue, while democrats-and Irish
Americans. in particular-will desert
the democracy for the party which
is opposed to the Wilson League. 1t
isn't a bad guess that the republicans
will gain more than they will lose.
Four of Connecticut's five congress
sional districts are represented by re-
publicans, and these districts are
hardly likely to reverse themselves
this year.
The first district is now represented
by Representative Lonergan, who
won by 4.301 in 1918 and 1859 in 1916.
With Lonergan out of the field, the
will unQuestionably have
a better chance of carrying the dis
trict. The republican nominee is
e. Hart Fem of Wethersfield. The
democratic candidate has not been
selected.
In 1918 Mr.. Lonergan carried Hart
ford by 4,461. and the district by 1901
which means that outside of Hart
ford, he was beaten by $50. With
Mr.. Lonergan no longer. candidate
and Hartford not to be depended
upon 70 pull the democratic nominee
through, the republicans will feel
confident of electing the entire Con-
|necticut congressional delegation.

KEYSTONE STATE VOTERSI
TO Be ATTACKED S|NCLY.

HARRISBURG, Pa, October -
Apathy of Pennsylvania voters, which
has been without parallel in the Key,
stone state in a generation. despite
the fact that women will vote for
the first time, is to be attacked by
means of local canvassing committees
in practically every division of the
state. The old-style series Of meet-
ingS throughout counties Will be
abandoned in a number of republi-
can counties and only a few large
rallies held, efforts being bent upon
personal interviewing of the voters
In the democratic counties intensity
of congressional contests has stimu-
lated meetings and strenuous cans
wasting is also going on.
Today is the final registration day
in the almost two-score Pennsylvania
cities, and with probably only half
of the eligibles qualified in most OF
them there were hopes expressed here
today that efforts of the last fort
night would produce good showing.
Efforts of the republicans are being
concentrated upon rolling up ma
jority for Harding that Will go to the
more than half million given Roose-
welt in 1904 and in making a fight in
half a dozen congressional districts.
The first woman to be named as a
democratic electoral candidate has
been placed upon the ballot-Mrs.
Ellen Duane Davis of Philadelphia.
The democrats have also named two
women candidates for the legisla-
ture, but the plan to nominate Miss
Agnes Hart Wilson, daughter of the
Secretary of Labor. for Congress IN
the Williamport district was side
tracked by the democratic state eN-
ecftiye committee Opposition to
Miss Wilson is said to have been due
to her position in regard to certain
policies, and resulted in Edmund Z.
Gilmore being selected to run
against Representative Edgar X
Kiess, who is a candidate for hfth
term, an unprecedented situation for
a republican in the 18th Pennsylvania.
One of the events of the week was
the decision of the supreme court
that Harris J. Bixler of Johnson
burg. had won the republican con-
eressional nomination in the 2sth
district over Representative Willis j.
Rulings. Bixler is also the demo-
cratic candidate. The adjoining dis
trict, the twenty-fifth, composed OF

split among republicans, Representa-
tive Milton C. Shreve being on an in

DELAWARE REPUBLICANS
NOW HAVE UNITED PARTY

WILMINGTON, Del, October (Spe-
ciaD.-Despite some uneasiness about
the uncertainty of the women's vote
in this state, Delaware's three cleo
tors have practically been underwrit-
ten for Senator Harding this early in
the campaign. For the first time in
approximately a score of years the
republicans are going to the polls
with united party, while the dem
ocrats are opposing the apathy of a
one-time leader, who still has
strong following. The fact that the
democratic faction in the state legis-
1ature had the greatest part to do in
