A STUDY Of reports to The
~ Star from its political cor
n respondents in all parts Of
the country discloses that
So far there is no such thing as a
paramount issue in this campaign.
Or. to put it another way. issues
which are major in one state be-
come minor in another; whereas
in some parts Of the country para
mount importance attaches to
questions which elsewhere are re-
garded as of little consequence.
So much has been said and writ
ten about the league Of nations
that the average man in the street
is inclined to the o1fhand opinion
that it overshadows all other
questions involved. That may be
true in some parts of the country
and among some elements Of
voters. It certainly isn't true of
the country as whole, or with all
the voters anywhere.

In industrial centers, for instance,
the labor question is gaining para
nountcy. this being especially true
since the practical Endorsement Of
Gov. Cox by the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor. Nor is the labor
question Of major importance in
industrial centers only. Washing
ton fssnot regarded as one Of the
great Industrial states, but organ
lied labor is taking a part in the
campaign there that has the lead
ers of both old parties guessing.
A third party has entered the field
there. made up of a combination
OF the farmer-labor party, the
triple alliance or non-partisan
league and the Railway Brother
hoods. This movement is figured
to hurt the republicans worse than
1t Will the democrats. but the latter
Will suner also, as it will deprive
them Of full benefit Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor indorse-
ment.
So far as can be judged by to-
days dispatches to The Star. the
campaign fund issue raised by
Gov. Cox doesn't seem to have
made much Of an impression. AS
the correspondents Albany, N. r,
puts it: Nobody seems to be
worked up except the active
paftisans. and their votes couldn't
be changed. anyhow"

The league Of nations seems to
be attracting hardly any atten-
tion as an issue at all in some
states. while in others It appears
to be the one question in which
the voters are taking any interest.

is active 1t isn't giving the poll

AS an Offset to this there are a
large number Of Ohio republicans
who are favorable to the league,
and they have been making them

a guessing match as to where the
balance between gain and loss
will be as result Of the league
issue in Ohio.
The league also figures as an
issue in some, Of the northwest

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALBANY, N. Y.. September with
the state primary elections ten days
away, political leaders Of New York are
prepared for the big drive next week
which will clear the decks for the real
campaign later. In both parties
there is little doubt that tho organi-
cation candidates will DO selected by
Overwhelming majorities and 1t Is not
expected that the outcome OF the pri-
maries will have any great eject upon
the general election. In other words
it is not believed that the primary
contests will leave any feeling that
will be distinctly registered In the
balloting In November.
Republican leaders Of tho state
insist that Senator James w. Wads-
worth, jr., will get the greatest vote
Of his career in the primary election
and believe that he will have the same

been considerable speculation as to
the manner in which the woman vot-
ers would treat Wadsworth, for all

Mayor Lunn has carried his candi-
dacy into virtually every county Of
the state, but has not made any great
impression in any. particular district.
according to the reports being re-
ceived. In certain counties up state
he will probably show strength. but
it is not believed that Lunn will carry
more than half dozen counties. The
democratic state organization is max
ing one of the greatest fights in
years for Lieut.. Gov. Walker, with
the idea that q record vote will give
him added pfeSCl&e LOT the general
election. The contest between Walker
and Wadsworth is expected to prove
one Of the big features of the state
campaign.

PREPARING IN FLORIDA
TO REGISTER THE WOMEN
Fairly Large Number Expected to
Use Privilege Granted by the
Suffrage Amendment.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. September 4
(SpectaD.-Acting under the advice
Of Attorney General Swearington it is
expected that women will be register
ed in all counties Of the state during
the week. The attorney general and
the governor have agreed that nc
special session Of the Legislature is
necessary in order to provide for the
women voters and the only delay has
been awaiting formal notice from
Washington and Tallahassee. Prepare
tions are being made in the state to
make the new registration easy and
it is expected that there will be q
fairly largo number Of women making
ready to avail themselves Of the priv
ilege accorded by the ratification Of
the nineteenth amendment. In the re-
publican ranks there will be q stronG
effort to get . large number Of negro
women registered.
The democracy is far from being
downhearted over the turn that poll
Of the women but it is understood
that a strong effort must be made to
bring out the intelligent vote among
them-and with it well understood
that Florida was not clamoring for
suffrage and hundreds Of women in
the state are opposed to it, the work
of the leaders will be strenuous.
Interest in the national campaign
is not very high as a general PROPOSE
tion, members Of the two parties hav-
ing the great majority Of adherents.
the democrats and the republicans
/, are standing firm to party allegiance
but there is little enthusiasm. The
impression seems to prevail that the
election in November will mean a
change from present conditions, and
everybody Is delighted with the pros
pect- That the advent Of women into
! the political arena will mean q larger
proportionate republican vote Is GER
tain. but it will scarcely be great
enough to capture even a COMPRESSION
al district. Florida will remain
strictly and solidly democratic. Pro-
hibition, the socialists, farmer-labor
and the remnants of the dissenting
forty-eighters will get SO few votes

them without an adding machine.

IN WYOMING PRIMARIES

CHEYENNE. wyo, September 4
board Thursday completed work Of
scanning results of August primaries
it discovered that Frank w. Mondell,
republican leader Of the national House
of Representatives. had captured
more than four times as many votes
as Wade H Fowler, who at November
election will seek the formers seat at
Washington. Mr.. Mondell ran ahead
in every county in the state. Not only
that, but in Converse county. home of
Mr.. Fowler, the republican leader got
away with exactly four times as many
votes as were received by the demo-
cratic candidate. In Natrona county
the ratio was twelve to one and in
Niobrara and Park counties it was
nearly as great. Neither candidate
had opposition in his own party.

This venture is regarded by the

ton as an effort 10 extend Polish
territory far TO the eastward at the
expense Of the Lithuanians and
White Russians.
