having an ambulance and first aid at

REFUSES TO DESIGNATE

Gov. Carey of Wyoming Declares
That It Is a Political and
Not a Religious Issue.

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. October 90 (Spe-
ciaD.-The political sensation of the
closing days of the campaign in
Wyoming was sprung here TODAY.
when Gov. Hobart Carey made public
his correspondence refusing to desie-
nate tomorrow as league of nations
day. In response to a telegram of
October IL from the League of Ma
tions day committee, the governor
wired that he could "see no more rea-
son for designating day to discuss
this league than to have tariff day
or high cost of living day. or, in fact,
a day to discuss any issue pertaining
to the presidential campaign"
In response to a telegram this week
from a Baltimore newspaper saying
the proclamation by the Governor of
Maryland setting aside Sunday had
aroused controversy. the objection
raised being that it injects politics
into religion. and asking him what
action he had taken. Gov Carey
wired that "the league of nations is a
political and not religious issue,
and there is no more reason why it
should be discussed in the churches
of the country than any other issue
which may have bearing upon the
present campaign, F. L. BABCOCK.

was formed, which will support Cox

together. 1t is probable that the nom
partisans will win in November.
In Minnesota the republicans anG

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TACOMA, Wash, October 23.-Ef-
forts to arouse the voters of the state
of Washington out of the general
apathy which has marked the present
national campaign in the state have
failed. AS result of this apathy the
campaign has been one of the hardest
in many years for political leaders to
get any kind of a line upon the gen.
eral vote. There are FIVE presidential
tickets upon the ballot. OF these the
socialist, socialist labor and prohibit
ton tickets have little or no strength.
The farmer-labor has small follow
ing, due largely to the warm struggle
between the republican and farmer
labor gubernatorial candidates. The
democratic gubernatorial candidate is
! farmer-labor vote is leaving it's ma
tional ticket and will split between
Cox and Harding. OF these it is safe
to predict that Cox will draw the ma
Jority. and as the bulk of the farmer
labor vote is drawn primarily from
the republican party, the vote will be
much closer than originally estimated.
The big normal republican plurality
| is going to be shaved considerably.

to Harding.
Although the state of Washington

and as result big labor vote, nor

looked upon as the wet candidate.
The same is true to a certain extent

ENDORSEMENT OF SHIP CANAL
HURTS NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
Proposed Outlet for Great Lakes Com
merce Has Become the Most Important
Issue In State Campaign.

1t is going to be republican land
slide. Gov. Smith. at the head of the
democratic. campaigners, charges that
this landslide talk is merely propa.
ganda and gross misrepresentation
of the facts. There is no DENYING
that Harding's stand on the league OF
nations is costing him votes in New
York state.
People of this state are just be-
ginning to take the trouble to read
the league of nations and the covea-
ant, and there is no denying that the
Wilson league is finding many sup
porters. Sentiment for a league OF
some nature is practically unani-
nous, and New York state republi
can leaders are having considerable
difficulty holding voters to the Hard
ing standard.
A strong appeal is being made to
the woman voters by the democratic
campaigners and they will obtain
many votes for the league from this
source. There is no denying the fact
that the women of New York state at
least are ready to vote in favor of
any one favoring the Wilson league or
any other league, if convinced that
the project will even tend to eliminate
warfare. Democratic speakers are
making strong play to this feeling
and have been very successful to date.
Smith Making a Strong Campaign.
Judge Miller republican guberna-
torial candidate, and Gov. Smith, can
dldate for reelection. are both stump
ing the state and have completed
their tours of the northern and south
ern tiers. The governor will go into
New York city during the last week
of the campaign and his friends feel
that he will elect himself right there.
The Smith sentiment in New York is
not as strong as it was two years ago
but the governor has strong appeal
to New Workers and in their midst
it is believed that he will succeed in
swinging the sentiment to him.
He is making a remarkably strong
campaign on his own record for the
past two yeark. but the republican
forces are united behind Miller Sem
ator George F. Thompson. prohibition
candidate, is showing little or no
strength in the eastern part of the
state, although in Niagara and certain
districts of Erie county he will poll
many votes. but he is not expected
to affect either of the big party can
didates one way or the other.
