the Irish question, but, the corre- spondent shrewdly observes, the en- thusiasm is confined largely to class of voters who have been for Cox all along.
 Particular attention from now on will be devoted to developments of the New York situation because con ditions in New York are typical of those in other eastern states. It is not contended that Gov. Cox could not possibly be elected with out New York, but it will be con ceded that in order to win he must get some electorial votes in the east, and the same factors that are operating against him in New York are operating also in New JeJrsey, Connecticut and elsewhere. In Ohio, Indiana and other mid dle western states the campaign is moving, it seems, along the expected lines with the predictions strong that Harding will carry them by substan- tial if not phenomenal pluralities Democrats in Indiana have not abandoned hope that they will be able to elect Thomas Taggart to the
 
 ator Jim Watson, nominated by the Republicans to succeed himself. The Indianapolis correspondent of the Star estimates that if Harding car ries the state by 50,000 or more, Watson will pull through, but if Harding's plurality drops to 25,000 or lower the senator will be ingrave danger.
 There is a tremendous registra- tion in Indiana, and some appre- hension is expressed that the vote will be so heavy that it will over- tax the facilities at the polling places. In those precincts equipped with voting machines auxiliary pa- per ballots will have to be provided for it will not be possible for all those registered to vote by ma chine.
 One of the most hopeful Dem- ocratic notes of the week comes from Kentucky, where both parties are whooping things up for a rous- ing finish. Phe very biggest ora torical guns are being sent into love their oratory. It is predicted tiidt Llc OubCOIne VIII QepeHu on the way the women vote, so the or atory is addressed largely to the ladies and, of course, is more flow cry and fervid than ever. The league of nations is practically the only issue discussed, and the Dem ocrats profess to believe that an ov- erwhelming majority of women are for the league.
 From a number of states comes word that interest is keener in the senatorial and congressional elec- tions than in the contest for the presidency. This is especially true in states where it is conceded that Harding will get the electorial votes but where factional strife makes # possible for the Democrats 10 pick ap seats in the Senate or House of Representatives.

30 prominent Republicans, many of whom had been consistent advocates of the league of nations. The Re- publican managers breathed easier when this appeared, accepting it as effectively stopping anything like a stampede away from the national ticket.
 The net result of the weeks de- velopments, therefore, would seem to be an increase in Democratic con- fidence and additional aggressive ness in their campaigning, without Republican confidence and aggres- siveness having been seriously weak ened.
 Impartial sizing up or rne situa- ton as explained in dispatches to the Star from it's special political correspondent gives no reason to change previous forecasts that the outlook is for Republican victory. Even if the tide now has turned to- ward the Democratic ticket, as there seems no reason to doubt it has in some parts of the country, the time

slide for the presidential ticket, of course it is likely to make both houses safely Republican, but in event of close contest, loss of the Senate and possibly of the House is an uncomfortable possibility. The final two weeks of the campaign, therefore, are bound to see an in- tense fight in doubtful states where senatorial seats are at stake and in close congressional districts every where.
 The possibility that the Republi- cans may pick up few House seats in far southern states is not being overlooked In event of close margin in the lower house of Con- gress, two or three Republican Con gressmen from below the Mason Dixon line would be handy things to have around.

probably is, too short for it to ef- With election day little more than two weeks distant it would take a tidal wave to sweep Cox and Roose- welt to victory.
 One of the most discouraging re- ports from a Democratic viewpoint, comes from New York State Be- lief has been planted in the New York State Democracy that what ever might happen to the national ticket and the party candidate for United States Senator, Gov. Albert Smith was practically assured of re- election. But now, according to the Stars Albany correspondent, even this hope seems likely to prove a vain one. The conclusion has been reached by careful observers, he said that Gov. Smith is destined to go down to defeat along with the rest of the Democratic ticket.
 Both the Democrats and the Re publicans are making a ''whirlwind finish" of the campaign in New York, and their speakers are at tracing large crowds, but, accord ing to the report, not many votes are being changed. Interest in the issues but lack of enthusiasm for the candidates, apparently sums up the situation. It is admitted that Senator Harding personally is weak with the New York voters but he has the popular end of the issues and is not unacceptable as a can didate. A good deal of enthusiasm has been aroused by Gov. Cox re- gently by his pronouncement on the
