WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Ten-
~ynessee will welcome Senator Hard
1ing at Chattanooga on Oct. 10 in true
Southern style, but nevertheless when
the votes are counted in November
the Volunteer state will be found
in the Democratic column by ma
jority Of $4,000, or more, in the opin-
ion of Senator Mcclellan. In discuss
ing the Republican nominees pro-
vpqBed visit to Chattanooga the sena-
tor said:
Il see Senator Harding is going to
visit Tennessee and speak at Chat
tanooga Oct. 49,. We will be glad
to have him visit us. We don't know
OF any place where his time may be
more pleasantly or harmlessly spent
He will be cordially received and
greeted by both Democrats and Re-
publicans but Tennessee is a Demo-
cratic state and will so Democratic
this year by majority in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, or perhaps more,
since the women vote.
Every four years there is Il claim
set up that Tennessee is going Re
publican. Without such a claim, our
good Republican friends down there
could not connect with some of this
enormous Slush fund that the ma
tional Republican committee is rails,
ing and distributing. l say let them
have it. The faithful will appreciate
it, and it will do less harm down
there than any place know.
Some of our Republican boys have
been away from the crib long, long
time. A little campaign fund will
crafty them very much and do no
harm. Surely since they are send
ing their candidate to Tennessee,
they will back him up with appro-
pirate funds. l congratulate the
faithful on their prospects. 1t will
solace them greatly for their certain
defeat in November"

BY ED L. KEEN.

New York. Oct. 29.-The field mar
shals of both big political parties to-
day predicted victory at the national
polls next Tuesday.
In formal statements. Will H. Hays
and George White of the Republican
and Democratic committees forecast
the voters verdict that is to come
1.-THE Republicans are demorafiZed
from the Canadian border to the Gulf
and from the Atlantic to the Pacific;
their forces are in full retreat every

Harding and Coolidge will be
elected overwhelmingly by the largest
popular majority ever cast by an cleo
toral majority that will exceed the un-
precedented Roosevelt majority of
1904" Hays asserted.
Hays Claims Thirty-Two States.
Both chairmen made specific claims
to strength. Hays expressed positive
belief that thirty-two states will cast
their votes for Harding, and conceded
only nine to Cox. He set 36S cleo
tora1 votes as a Harding minimum
with 392 almost certain" and cited
a possibility of another 25.

NO WHEAT STRIKE
Receipts ON Kansas City Market
Continue Heavy.
Farmers Selling at Least Part
Crop to Pay Debts.

Kansas City Mo-, Oct. 29.-General
tendency among grain men here today
is to disregard the talk of farmers
holding wheat, a1tho much continued
to be said about the grain growers
strike and the possibility Of reduced
receipts in the near future.
Wheat receipts here showed no
signs of dropping off and grain men
reported country acceptances as lib
eral as usual
Grain men here did not believe the
movement to hold for SO wheat would
grow to any great proportions, point
ing out that most farmers will sell
part of their crop to- meet their finan-
cial obligations
Meantime, the board of trade trans
portation department reported the car
supply in this territory still is made
quate for the requirements for grain
shippers.
Country shippers generally were of
the opinion the publicity given the al
legged strike" movement has had more
effect on market sentiment than the
actual holding.

TAKE AWAY HER POWER
State Superintendent Not Likely to
Preside as President of Board.

Preside as President of Board.
The state superintendent of public
instruction is not likely to continue as
president of the board of directors
of the Kansas State Teachers associ-
alton. The board of directors is the
controlling body of the organization.
An amendment to the constitution of
the association, submitted at the first
general session of the Topeka district
Of the annual convention at the audi
torium Thursday night, deprives the
state superintendent of the presiding
power on the board of directors, leav-
ing the holder of that office merely a
member of the body. The amend
ment is certain to be finally adopted
tonight at the third general session,
it is said.
Since the formation of the board of
directors a number of years ago, the
state superintendent has been the pre-
siding officer with considerable power.
Feeling against the bestowal of so
much power on the state superintend-
ent, already the educational head of
the state, crystallized with the amend
nient submitted Thursday.
When the board of directors meets
in January, 1921, the present state
superintendent of public instruction,
Miss Lorraine E. Wooster, will be a
m ember of the board. but will have
no presiding power, if the amendment
as submitted is carried in the four dis
trict conventions, which it is practical
1y certain to do

school, who Immediately investigated.
Stephens was found dead. Judging
from appearances, Capt. w. P. Mac

must have attempted to escape from
It was apparent, Captain MacLean
said, that the bull had charged
Stephens and crushed him against a
post, as there was no evidence that
he had been thrown to the ground or
trampled upon.

body easily. it was pointed out. DIR.

Stephens was received at the indus
trial school in 1914 from Pittsburg,
Kan, charged with playing hockey

1918, and allowed to go to work for a
farmer north of Kiro. He returned to
the school later. however, where he re-
manned until the Christmas holidays
last year, when he was allowed to &C
home. He was returned to the school
again last January.
HE was a bright boy" Captain
MacLean said. "and had never had
any trouble with him. He was in the
I.eighth grade. He was a fine looking
chap, too"
MacLean said the bull had never
shown any evil temper and that the
boys who handled him had never be-
fore had any trouble with him. Even
after he was recaptured this morning

Spokane, Wash. Oct. 29.-The real
issue in the present campaign is shall
we have democracy in industry or shall
we continue to drift in the direction
that the Cummins-Esch bill and the
Kansas industrial court plan to have
us go?
Industry in America must either be
autocratic or democratic. AT the pres
ent time we see it growing more and
more autocratic. The Farm mer-Labor
party demands that it be democratic.
In accomplishing the democratiza-
ton of industry our process or method
is to give the workers, artisans and

responsibilities and nanagemen ent Of in

ciple to be developed in the light OF

principle and purpose is set forward in

paign.
We have not been able to get either
Senator Harding or Governor Cox to
lisp a single word or statement on this
fundamental issue. They have march
ed forward with their shadow box

I have found that our progress is
heartily received and endorsed by
those of the voters we can reach. and

not sufficiently experienced as a poll
