BY LOUIS sEIBoLD.

Especial to The Times Dispatch.)
SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Oct 10.-
How much the development OF the
drives that both candidates for the
presidency have ventured upon In the
final phases of the campaign will aid
either is purely a matter Of opinion.
Surface indications arc still favorable
TO the Republicans. though the Demo-
cratic candidate who has prospected
four doubtful States contiguous
to the political border lines. processes
confidence that he will win all of
them.
In certain respects the campaign
checks up with the essential condi-
tions that existed three weeks before
the election four years ago. At the
same relative stage then Mr.. Hughes
looked an easy winner over Mr.. Will
son. From this the Democrats urge
that the Western States will again
come to the rescue.
Caution Is G. o. P.'s watchword.
The Republican leaders in tho four

panied Mr.. Cox agree that barring

party and renew their fight for the
league after the election.
Confirmation Of this opinion is sug-
gested by the speeches which Her.
bert c. Hoover. another ardent cham
pion OF the league. has been making
in the doubtful Mid Western States.
Hoover has repeatedly asserted that
the league project represents bu,
enc OF "the many important phases
OF the problems confronting the cleo
tors OF the country" FIe now regards
the utter incompetency OF the pres
ent administration" as the most i'm
portant.
Democratic opinion naturally does
not agree with this view. Governor
Cox, who welcomed Senator Hard

lenge to fight 1t out on the league
of nations. is pinning his faith and
hopes on the women voters. He has

SUCCESSFUL PRESENTATION

TIE Curtain presented to the public,
in the Middletown Opera House, on last
Friday night April 30, their second
series of plays. The entire program
was success. Although there was not
a copacity audience, it was better than
expected because of the poor weather
conditions prevailing.
''The Buffers" was revelation to
both those in it and those directing It.
This play was very long, and as the
cast had but ten days in which to re-
hearse, it was not expected to be es-
pecially good. However, both this play
and 1.-The Ghost Of Jerry Bundler"
were enjoyed by the audience. The
weekly serial Smashing Barriers" was
also feature of the program and Miss
Clara Brady sang solo. Mr.. Hazel
Price rendered several novelty numbers
The club feels that it owes to several
persons who assisted in these plays a
vote of thanks. Mr.. Lewis has earned
the gratitude of the club by his hearty
cooperation and suggestions. Miss
Street, the director of the dramatic club
deserves much praise for her successful
efforts during the ten strenuous days Of
rehearsal. The club also wishes to
thank all who were in anyway connect
ed with this their second presentation
of plays.

TRACTORS GROWING in FAVOR

A few years ago you would see in
some of the fertile fields of New Castle
County, tractor plowing, and sur
rounding it would be half dozen far
mers watching the demonstration.
When the demonstrator had completed
his work you would hear those who
witnessed the performance advance
many ideas as to its short comings, and
some of them would declare that 1t
would never be practical implement
on the farm. But conditions have
changed and today the farm tractor is
blowing large acreage for the 1920
corn crop in Delaware. In fact it would
be surprising to the average Delawar-
can, if The Transcript could give in
figures, the correct number of tractors
now being used in the state, and had it
not been for the rapid advance in prices
of these machines great many more
would have been substituted for the
old horse and plow method of blowing
the soil. And then too many of those
who predicted that the tractor would
not be practicable have changed their
minds and some of them have bought
and are operating the new implement
on their own farm.
