DEMOCRATS ARE HOPING
TO. ELECT LONERGAN
Make No Claims of Carrying Con-
necticut, Which Is Regarded as
Certainly Republican.

HARTFORD. Conn. October o.
(SpeciaD.-Only two questions are
particularly interesting the voters
of Connecticut on the home stretch
of the state campaign-the result of
the contest between United States
Senator Frank B. Brandegee and Rep
resentative Augustine Lonergan for
the formers seat in the upper house
of Congress. and the magnitude of
the victory for the republican ticket.
That the electoral vote of the state
will be given to Harding and Coolidge
can hardly be doubted and the sue
cess OF the entire, republican state
ticket. aside from United States SEN
ator, is almost beyond question. In
fact. the democratic leaders make no
claims to carrying the state, although
they still hope to win the coveted
seat in the Senate. So the question
| except as to one place, is as to the
extent of the republican plurality.
| The general belief is that Con-
! necticut, with its increased electorate
! will be carried by the republicans
| by the biggest plurality in the his
| tory of the state. 1t would be sur
| prising if the republicans had a plu-
to 10000 in excess of this figure may
| not be too much to expect
| Az to the Observation-Disclosures con-
| test. which is the center of political
! interest. arriving at a forecast is
! far from an easy matter, with a mum
| Der of factors to be taken into con-
! sideration. 1t is not easy to figure
| that Senator Brandegee can run far
| enough behind his ticket to be de.
| feated. and here are those who be.
| lieve that he will, after gains ant

but run as well as his associates or

margin is too big this year for any

representatives in Congress and to in

publicans are so high that they are
making determined effort to cap

years are conceded to the opposition
Gov. Cox came to this city last We'd
nesday. but his reception was not
greatly enthusiastic
The democrats have put up a more
aggressive campaign than the repub-
means. but in the republican camp
there IS a quiet confidence in the re-
suit. Edward NJ. Sullivan of Gran
ston. an old-line politician, has been
making a spectacular fight for the
SoVernorshlp, and has made many
charges of mismanagement by the
republicans in the conduct of the state
government Lieut.. Gov. Emery J
Sansouci, the republican candidate for
governor, has made few speeches ano
has not made a reply to any of the
charges of Mr. Sullivan
The congressional fights have al
been lukewarm. Luigi de PasquaIe of

COAL STRIKE TROUBLES
MADE POLITICAL ISSUE
Alabama Mine District Is Storm
Center of Attacks on
Administration.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch 70 The Star
MONTGOMERY. Ala, October ca
The military occupation of a portion
OF Alabama during the coal strike
now under way in the birmingham
district is fast becoming a political
foot ball. according to indications
reaching Montgomery.
Orders have been issued by Gen.
X. r. Steiner, in command of the Ma
tional Guard. sent there to keep Or
der during the strike. not to allow
assemblies of miners, parades, or
marchinss through the public high
ways of the strike district.
This order is characterized by the
miners and many of their leaders and
synpathizers as an infringement Of
the freedom of speech and peaceable
assembly. and it is claimed that the
men on strike have no way to make
known collectively their alleged
wrongs or to seek redress of griey-
anceS. real or fancied.
A permit was issued by Gen. Steiner
few days ago to Lewis III. Reynolds,
republican probate Judge of Chiffon
county and candidate for United
States senator against Senator Oscar
w. Underwood in the November Q
election. Judge Reynolds was per-
mitted to hold a political meeting at
Jasper. Ala, in the very heart of the
coal district and in the midst of the
strike zone.
The city commission of Birming-
nam then gave permit to hold "A
public meeting in large park there
and it was at this time that speeches
were made calling upon the governor
to withdraw troops from the strike
field. This. however. was not done
Judge Reynolds has seized upon this
situation. together with the attitude
of Secretary Houston of the Treasury
Department. toward the farming in
terests and that of the federal reserve
banking system, and is conducting n
hard fight against Senator Underwood
along these lines. Nobody expects
Judge Reynolds to win his fight, but
it is now believed that he Will poll
a larger republican vote in the state
than has ever been cast before

German Toys in;
Come to Break
D0wn Prices

NEW ORLEANS, October 23.-
Within the last few days about
800 packages Of German toys
have found entry into the Unit
ed states through the port of
New Orleans. and more are be-
ing received on every ship COM
ing from Rotterdam to this
port.
Some of the German toys are
consigned to New Orleans firms,
while others are in transit to
other cities. 1t IL believed here
that the receipt of these toys
will tend to bring down the
high prices Of toys of the past
few ChristmaSes.
1t is also stated by customs
officials that France Is sending
over large quantities Of French
made toys. Some Belgian toys
are being received also. the ban
in that country against the I'M
portatiOn of German toys hav-
ing greatly increased the toy
making industry.

Storage Stocks Drained

Fifty million tons of coal in excess of the amount
produced was consumed during the six weeks strike
Storage stocks supplied this tremendous tonnage keep
the wheels of industry and transportation moving
Such nroads on precautionary SURPRISES would depict
to the average mind wild scramble on the part of big
to replenish stocks But such was not the case
Everybody seemed to take it for granted that the gov
eminent had the strike in hand and that coal produc
ton would continue uninterrupted Coal users seemed
to forget that any other except miners strike
could possibly interfere with maximum production.

Strike Creates Shortage

daily average production of bitumnous coal decreased
70 per cent.
From 100000 tons weekly, production dropped to
100000 tons. The return of strikers from week to
week in various fields increased production to 900
tons for the week preceding the calling off of the strike

per cent in various fields. Transportation facilities
were practically paralyzed.
The switchmen's strike, in the of the miners
