many to be the opera which will prove
the most popular because it has never
been heard in Pittsburg, and the pub

this charming little artist will sing t.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, October g.
For the first time in, the history of
Tennessee, so far as present-day
newspaper records go, this is the first
presidential campaign in the course
of which the state is visited by the
standard bearers of the two great
parties. Gov James NJ. Cox, the DEM

tive announcement to this effect hav-
ing been received by Gov. A. H. Rob-
erts. On the night of October 10 SEN
ator Warren G. Harding. the repub-
lican nominee, will make a speech at
Chattanooga.
The visit of Gov. Cox may be con-
strued as a defensive measure on the
one hand or as an expression of in
terest in his friends race, according
to the viewpoint. 1t is practically
certain that the national ticket is
stronger in Tennessee than the state

Outside of strictly political circles
there is little interest being shown
in the general election. Efforts to
shake off the general apathy of the
old-line party voters are prov

ALBANY, N. Y, October 2.-For the
first time since the opening of the
campaign New York state voters are
beginning to show a slight interest in
the league Of nations issue so clearly
outlined by the rival political parties
and, although this interest has not
developed to any great extent as yet,
political leaders are seeking to stir 1t
to the greatest extent. Gov. Cox's
local campaign directors and speakers
are forcing the league at every OPP
portunity with detailed explanations
Of just what can be accomplished
through the league and just how 1t
will be accomplished.
/, Republican campaign orators are
condemning the league from one end
of the state to the other, and declare
that their attitude on the matter is
receiving the most favorable recep-
ton from the voters. In some sec
tions there is every indication that
such claims are based on fact. for
the anti-league sentiment in certain
of the cities is very distinct. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, who has completed
his New York state tour, is OF the
opinion that the league Of nations
will receive unexpected support in
New York state. He declared that at
every meeting at which he brought
up the subject Of the league-and
there were many-his audiences were
quick to respond and grasp the sa-
lient features Of the claims of the
democratic party with regard to the
league.
State Contest Absorbs Interest.
Despite the most earnest efforts of
the national campaign managers, New
York state voters seem to be center
ing their interest in the state cam
paign. This fact has been noted
from time to time by leaders of both
parties, who declare that the contest
between Gov. Smith and Judge
Nathan L. Miller is overshadowing
the national candidates. Several at
tempts have been made to swing the
attention of the voters to Senator
Harding and Gov. Cox. but up to the
present the great mass of voters of
this state have shown an inclination
to ignore them. In view of this stu
alton New York state campaign man
ayers are making efforts to have both
Senator Harding and Gov. Cox tour
this state at the earliest date possible.
1t is believed that both candidates
will come to New York. hut the
original idea was to stump this state
during the close of the campaign,
when it was believed their work
would be most effective.
Now the idea that they may come
too late is growing, and the aim of
their supporters 10 to bring them to
New York within the next week or
ten days, If possible. There is big
demand for the national candidates
in every section of the state, and the
people seem to be awaiting their ar

MORE INTEREST IN THE LEAGUE
SHOWN BY NEW YORK VOTERS
Political Leaders Pressing It's Discussion
But State Campaign Absorbs Attention.
Indications Favor Harding Success.

rival before they take up the national
issues and attempt to reach con-
clusion on them.
In New York city there is consid-
cradle Cox sentiment on-the streets,
which republican party leaders claim
is due to the Tammany influence. and
this claim is undoubtedly based on
fact. But these same leaders declare
that outside of the strict Tammany
voters there is very little sentiment
for the Ohio governor. and he will
not receive the support that the demo-
cratic state leaders look for in the big
city. If he does not Senator Harding
should have little trouble in carrying
New York state.
Indications at this time favor Hard
ing by a good margin. but the Cox
sentiment has been on the increase
up state during the past two weeks
The democrats are elated, but their
opponents are ridiculing the claims
that Cox is gaining vast strength up
state and in New York city. Though
Cox may be gaining, his gains are not
enough to indicate that he will carry
the state over Harding. or that it will
even be close, for at this time Hard
ing is a big favorite in New York
state.
Smith Seems to Lead Miller.
The gubernatorial contest will be
more close and the political wise
acres are not Offering any predictions
at this time. But Gov. Smith seems
to be the leader in the race at this
time, and in the opinion of the ma
jority will be reelected by a close
margin. They do not look for walk
away. but think Smith has the
strength to carry him through to the
executive chamber.
Judge Miller on his public appear
ance thus far has failed to make the
impression that was expected, and
his campaign promoters are intensely
worried. They claim Judge Miller
carries his judicial pose a trifie too
is too cold and does not stand up well
when contrasted with Gov. Smiths,
They make scores of other COM
plants. personal and political, and
it is this tendency on the part of men
high in the ranks of the republican
party in New York state to criticise
their candidate that gives strength to
the opinion that Smith will be the
victor.
The interest in the gubernatorial
campaign is no greater than that
manifested in the contest between
Senator James w. Wadsworth, jr,
and Lieut.. Gov. Harry c. Walker for
Of the most popular men in public
life today and seems to be making
the strong run that will carry him

conditions throughout the
country, as reported by the spe-
cial political correspondents of
The Star. A lot of hurrah will
have to be engendered during the
next four weeks, or the campaign

cent years. ,.
The apathy of which party
managers complain could not be
more strikingly demonstrated than
in the reports from SO many states
that there is more public interest
in state than in national contests.
This seems to be true even in
Ohio. home of three of the ,presi-
Dental candidates. A like cendi-
ton prevails in Indiana and New
York. two of the big pivotal states,
and from Washington state. in the
far west, comes word that the reg

ago, despite the fact that munich
pal elections show that there has
been a substantial increase in the
number of voters.

What little change in the trend
of sentiment is indicated by the
weeks reports would seem to be
favorble to Cox and Roosevelt, but
the change is not sufficiently pro-
nounced to Tighten perceptibly
democratic gloom. The Columbus
correspondent of The Star reports
that there is apparent check in
the growth of republican senti-
ment In Ohio. but that this slipping
is not of character or size to de-
stroy republican confidence that
the state will be carried for both
the national and state tickets. In
fact, the strength shown by the
republican state ticket constitutes
the big SUNRISE of Ohio develop
ments Today's estimate is that
while Harding is likely to carry
Ohio by a plurality of $4,000 or
80. 900. the state ticket has good
prospects Of winning by more than
a hundred thousand.
Private advices from democrats
who accompanied Gov. Cox on his
western trip, according to the Co
lumbus correspondent, are freight
ed with gloom. They are to the eff
feet that the democratic nominee
found conditions much more unfa-
vorable than he had anticipated.
and to this fact is attributed
good deal of the irritability of tenn
per he has displayed.

An interesting minor phase OF the
Ohio situation is that while that
state is the home of the prohibit
ton candidate for President, no
ticket of prohibition presidential
electors will be presented to the
Ohio voters The petitions got up
by the Ohio prohibitionists were
found to be defective after it was
too late to rectify them, and it has
been decided by the party manag-
ers to abandon program OF APP
pealing to the courts. The only
way Ohio proibitionists will be
able to vote the ticket is to, write
in a full list Of delegates. which
few of them are likely to do.
From Albany comes word that
Gov Cox appears to be gaining
strength with New York state
voters, but there Is no evidence
that he is gaining rapidly enough
to wipe out Harding's admitted
lead. This increase in Cox popu-
larity would give the democrats
more hope were it not for the fact
that interest in the state tickets
completely overshadows the ma
tional contest. Those who are polit-
ically wise cannot see that there
is any chance that Harding will
