A. 7. Hert, of Louisville, KY, and

can National Committeeman from
Oklahoma, yesterday reported to Will
H. Hays, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, that Kentucky
and Oklahoma, naturally Democratic
states, will be carried by the Rcpubli-
cans on Tuesday.
There is no use in indulging in
extravagant figures so close to Election
Day. said Mr.. Hert. "The Republican
leaders in Kentucky are all ready for
the decision on November 2. We shall
carry the state for Harding and Cool
ldge and elect our candidate for United
States Senator, Mr.. Ernst"
oklahoma is naturally Democratic,
but we have a little better than an
even chance to carry it on Tuesday,
sad Mr.. McGraw. "Thc friends of
Senator Gore have not been placated
since they were so brutally beaten in
the PRIMARIES. The power of the Fed
eral machine was used against them
and they were called names for sup
porting Gore. Now the Ferris men are
begging them to get into line. They
are not responding so that any one
could notice It, Senator Gore has not
llfted hand for the party in his nome
state.
Picturesque Fight
one OF the most picturesque battles
is in the I'd Congressional District,
wnlch Tor years has been represented
by William Hastings, Democrat. Alice
Robinson, sixty years old, who
does not try to conceal her age, is the
Republican candidate.
EA-GoVernor Frank B. Willis of
Ohio, candidate to succeed Senator
Harding IN his state, yesterday wired
Chairman Hays that a Republican VIC
tory is assured in Ohio
"Ordinary victory is not sufficient"
