CHICAGO, September 25.-With
about one-third of Chicago's primary
election vote still to be counted the
indications are that Len Small. the
THOMPSON candidate for governor, has
won the nomination by about 1,700
votes. Oglesby gained 1880 votes IN
the first fifteen wards and if he main
tains those gains in the remaining
twenty wards he will win by more
than 5000 plurality. If there Is no
change either way Small is the winner.

believed, sweep every republican state

women of Ohio would give the repub-

final push to put them over here. APP

shown in the considerable vote of the
state that has now been sounded in
straw votes that are in operation, to
the probable entire male vote of the
state. a total republican gain on the
male side over that cast four years
ago-considerably less than the plu-
rality that the Woodrow Wilson cleo
toral ticket received then, S9,40S-is
indicated. The latest estimate of the
total republican gain, assuming that
the total male vote in the state VIII

But the straw votes are being con-
Quoted with separate handling of the
mems and the womens votes, for the
reason that there being no former
vote of women to be used as basis
of comparison no trend of the change
of political sentiment could be estab-
lished among the female voters. They
are therefore treated in the aggre-
gate.
Many women VIII NOT SOte.
The first striking fact indicated in
the women's straw vote is the large

and cast ballots, remark1ng in ex-

go>to the polls. The state supervisor
Of elections. Harvey c. Smith, pre-
diets that there will be 100000 bal
lots cast by women in the state.
He is preparing ballots with that ex-
pectation. But his judgment is not
corroborated by the straw vote re-
turns. Particularly in the rural dis
trictS is the sentiment against voting
found to be strong among women.
Thousands of the ballots forwarded by
rural mail carriers to women in the
rural sections are being returned
with curt Endorsements, such as I
| have not the slightest intention OF
voting" written on them.
The probability it would seem is that
not half as many votes as the state
elections supervisor estimates will be
cast in this state. The same canvass
that has secured the political senti-
ment of nearly 10000 male voters has
made reports as to how only l,ooo
women will vots this year. 1t may
hardly be warranted to assume that
there will be only one woman voter
to each ten male voters, but it will be
something like that in all probability.
In the thousand and odd women who
expressed themselves on tne eiectorai
ticket here, GIT declared their inten-
ton of voting for Senator Harding and
42S for Gov. Co3-a Harding majority
in the thousand votes of 1879. Assum-
ing that there will be 100000 women's
votes cast in the state at the Novem-
Der election. this same rate of republic
an preference among them would add
to the republican gain in the state
shown above, on the male vote, 45,171,

it far and away above the Wilson ma
iority of four years 3go. 1t indicates

Campaign Not Exciting.
The campaign SO far is by no means
the exciting fight that was expected
when 1t was found that both big party
candidates were to be from this state.
Up to this time it has been the most
apathetic national campaign conduct
ed in Ohio for many years, excepting,
of course. the notification meetings
and the conferences of national lead
ers that marked the opening of the
campaigns. The democratic state COM
mittee headquarters have so far shown
little activity, and because of the ap-
parent apathy the campaign commit
tee has been criticized somewhat by
democratic local leaders elsewhere.

those of Gov. Cox. Women democratic

first political work, are Juggling at the
leashes which they say the democratic
state committee maintains on them,
sanction the calling of meetings of
democratic
campaign work. 1t begins to look as
though the democratic state leaders
favored a gum shoe" campaign. On
the surface some lack of teamwork
on the part of the democrats. is in
dictated, not to say misunderstand-
his campaign chieftains. For instance,
while the governor is making his
"slush fund" charges second only to
the peace league issue, in his speeches,
the Ohio state democratic campaign
committee is not using the slush fund
matter at all. and utterances of both
National Chairman George White and
National Treasurer James w. Gerard
are calculated to belittle what the
governor has been saying about the
methods of collecting their
funds.
On the other hand. however, the re-
publican campaign committee of Ohio
IS not uolnS mucn open WORK yet rae
tional troubles coming over from the
state presidential primary campaign
still go on in the party organization.
1t has been known for some time that
progress with the work of the cam
paign was held-up by a controversy
between the Harry NJ. Daugherty and
the anti-Daugherty factions over the
question as to who should have the
Ohio quota from the party's national
treasury to expend in this state. That
is said to have been settled now, and

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALBANY, September 25.-Sentiment
for Gov. Cox is on the increase in
New York state, according to nom
partisan observers and democratic
leaders. Within the past two weeks
the Cox sentiment has been develop
ing rapidly. and instead of the pas
sive interest first shown in the demo-
cratic candidate the voters of the
state are registering real active de-
mand for full and complete informa-
ton on the democratic national can
didate and his policies and principles
Campaign managers in every county
of the state are taking full advantage
OF this situation and are delighted
with the progress of their drive.
Drive for Upstate Votes.>
They are very frank to admit that
the task of swinging New York state
into line for Cox is a gigantic one
and are devoting most of their work
to the upstate district. In New York
city Gov Cox, with the united sup
port of Tammany. is expected to poll
vote that will compare favorably
with that of Gov. Smith, who has
drawn the greatest majorities on
record in the big city. The New York
city vote for Cox must be large
enough to overcome Harding's lead
up state, so the Cox directors are
striving to keep down the upstate
republican vote.
Starting out with this intention in
mind, they were much surprised to
discover unexpected Cox sentiment in
many counties, and the situation gen.
orally has developed a much more ia
vorable appearance from a democratic
viewpoint.
Expect Smith to Win.
Gov. Smith is expected to win out
over Nathan L. Miller and George F.
Thompson, the republican and prohi-
bition candidates. With but Miller
admitted that the gubernatorial race
would be so close that there would be
no substantial foundation for any
forecasts, but with Thompson run
ming as the prohibition candidate it
is almost certain that Smith will be
elected. 1t is generally. believed that
Thompson will draw enough votes
Miller to elect the democratic candi-
date.
Smith headquarters were opened at
Syracuse last week and his campaign
directors are going to make a strong
hight upstate, for the situation with
regard to upstate and New York city
is virtually the same in the state con-
test as in the national struggle. New
York city must produce a Smith ma
jority large enough to overcome the
Miller vote upstate. and the aim at
this time is to hold down the Miller
vote in the rural districts.

25.-Witll the general election a lit
tie over five weeks off, California
today seems certain to cast her
electoral vote for Harding and
Coolidge by a majority Of between
50. 900 and 100000. At the same time
the indications are that Senator
James D. Phelan will be reelected
to the Senate over his republican OPP
ponent, Samuel NJ. Shortridge, but
by much smaller majority. Yet the
visit of Gov. James NJ. Cox to Cali
fornia, with the embittered attitude
which Senator Johnson took toward
the league of nations at the recent
republican state convention, has set
in motion certain influences which
NAV make California as big a sur

he was greeted eao by iar Eelly ana 10000
persons heard him in the auditorium

that of Senator johnson wnile gov,
