Farley p. Christensen. farmer-labor
candidate for President, scheduled to

day, refused to do so because he
would not be permitted to discuss

Mr.. Christensen. in a letter to the

Gov. James NJ. Cox with New York
throughout the state will be directed
to say the first word for Gov. Cox and
the national ticket.
Gov. Alfred f. Smith probably will
start a speaking tour just as soon as
the special session of the legislature
is adjourned, and he will be trailed by
the big oratorical guns of the local
democracy. Gov. Smith still seems to
have the edge on Judge Miller in the
gubernatorial contest, and non-parti-
san observers declare that If the gov
ernor can hold his ground until cleo
ton day he will defeat the republican
candidate by a safe majority.
Both the democratic and republican
state committees have started the
state campaign. and at recent meet
ings they outlined their plans for the
next month. But regular meetings
will be called for the purpose Of meet
ing new situations that may arise as

ranged a speaking tour. which began

end of October
Special Session of Legislature.
The special session of the legisla-
ture. which opens one week from
Monday. has special political sig
nificance, for Gov. Smith is OPP
posed by the republican state leaders
in a contest of maneuvering. Though
the session has been called for the
expressed purpose of considering leg
islation that might relieve housing
conditions in this state, number OF
other issues that will have a greater
political significance will be raised.
Gov. Smith has intimated that few
pet projects that might be regarded
as very good campaign material for
him will be offered to the legislature
for their consideration. and the lead
ers of both houses have been warned
to be on their guard. They propose
to counter with a few attacks that
are aimed to embarrass the governor,
so that everything considered the
voters of the state are prepared to sit
back and watch developments.
Socialists Again Candidates.
Thursday special election will
take place in New York city for the
purpose of filing the five vacancies
in the state assembly caused by the
expulsion of the five socialist men,
bers April 1, last. All five expelled
men are candidates for reelection,
and will be opposed by fusion candi-
dates. If the socialists are reelected
the assembly again will face the So
GialiSt problem, and will have to
expel them again or repudiate the
action of the early year.

|PLANS FOR Campaign
HALTED IN RHODE ISLAND
Both Parties Waiting to Learn
Whether Gov. Beeckman
Will Run Again.


PROVIDENCE. r. l.. September IL.
Campaign plans of both major par
ties in Rhode Island turn largely upon
the forthcoming decision of Gov. R.
Livingston Beeckman as to whether
he will be a candidate for reelection.
II he decides to run for the fourth
time he will get the republican NOM
inatfon without opposition. but If he
announces that he will not be can
didate there will Immediately be a
fight for the nomination.
Gov. Beeckman's political plans for
the immediate future have plainly
been unsettled for several months
His aspirations are recognized in
party circles, and it is being publicly
stated that he Is slated for advance
ment II the republican national ticket
wins in the fall. Several times he has
been introduced at public gatherings
as the next Secretary of the Navy"
The governor has been in close
touch with the managers of the ma
tional campaign. but whether or not
he has received assurances that will
lead him to withdraw from the con-
test in this state he refuses as yet to
divulge. Il am stiIl a candidate for
governor" Is his announcement.
There are many influential party lead
ers in this state. and, it is believed, in
national councils. who think that the
best service Beeckman could do his
party in this campaign would be to
throw his strength into the state fight
again.
A final announcement of his pur-
pose is expected within a week or
two. II he withdraws from the GU
bernatorial contest the fight for the
republican nomination will center be-
tween Lieut.. Gov. Emery ]. Sansouci
and Representative Ambrose Kenne-
dy. Both have already announced
that they would be candidates If
Beeckman withdrew. While it was
not believed a week or two ago that
| Mr.. Kennedy could successfully COM
bat the lieutenant governor, It has
| recently become known that he has
secured the support of Isaac Gill of
Pawtucket, the most powerful repub-
lican leader in the state, and former
United States Senator Henry w. Lip
pitt.
The democrats are standing by to
see the outcome of the republican
! state convention. If Beeckman with
draws and Representative Kennedy
| Is the successful man, they will prob
| ably nominate for governor A. A.
Archambeult Of West Greenwich, the
chairman of the democratic state CEN
trail committee and candidate for gov
ernor in 1918. Archambeult is thought
to have a good chance to corral the

ment has always been a decisive fac

Judge Nathan L. Miller of SYRIA
cuse. organization candidate, and
Senator George F. Thompson of Ma
CARA are the rivals for the republican
nomination for governor. Senator
Thompson has the backing of the
Anti-Saloon League and is the regu-
lar nominee of the prohibition party.
but has little support other than that
of the pronounced reform element. 1t
Is not believed that it will make a
very strong impression against Judge
Miller. The same element that is
supporting Senator Thompson for
governor is behind Miss Ella A. Boole.

against Senator James W. Wads-
worth. jr, the organization designa-
ton. Miss Boole probably will at
tract the votes of the vindictive suf-
fragists, who have never forgiven
Senator Wadsworth for his bitter an
tagonism during the campaign for
votes for women.
Though there are contests for vir-
tually every other state Office on the
republican ticket, the anti-organiza-
tfon candidates are not expected to
show any great strength and the sue
cess of the regular organization
ticket is virtually conceded at this
time.
The contest over the United States
senatorial nomination is the big fea-
ture Of the democratic primaries. with
Lieut.. Gov. Harry c. Walker and
Mayor George r. Lunn of Schenectady
as the rival candidates. Lieut.. Gov.
Walker has the full support of the
democratic state organization. having
been suggested as the nominee by the
democratic state convention at Sara

the fact that the latter has made a
very extensive campaign, going into

There has been a decided trend the

has lost his head in the opinion of
many of his friends. and at almost

HARRISBURG, Pa. September IL
Leaders of every party in Pennsyl-
vania are after the woman vote.
Three weeks ago the republican state
committee, which had months before
given assistance in the organization
Of the Committee Of Republican
Women of Pennsylvania. was the only
political body paying much attention
to the possibilities Of women voting.
A call by State Chairman William E.
Crow to county commissioners to In
struct assessors to seek out woman
voters and list their names, and sum
mons by Senator Boise Penrose for all
workers to aid women in having
names put on rolls. was followed by
a similar notice by Democratic State
Chairman Bruce F. Sterling The
two days for assessment OF women
for payment of taxes requisite to vote
were marked by entry Of thousands
Of names, but the first of the three
registration days coming Immediately
after was marked by such a drop be-
low expectations in the way of regis
trations that the leaders OF all par
ties have started movements in every
county to get the women registered
or enrolled
Political Apathy Reported.
Another factor which is disturbing
leaders is the failure of many men to
register in the first registration day
for the cities. In Philadelphia and
men combined. is below the aggregate
of the men registered last year. This
condition in the cities is matched by
apathy in the rural districts. where
there Is no personal registration re-
quired. The situation in regard to
the women is to be handled first and
then steps to arouse partisan enthu-
siasm will follow.
Thus far the campaign in Pennsyl
vania, outside Of drives being made
by republicans in congressional dis
tricts. has been confined to printing
ink and cigar store discussions. Their,
have been few meetings, even in dis
tricts where the campaign starts
early.
Senator Boise Penrose has been get
ting about republican state headQuar
tiers in Philadelphia, and his prelim-
have been matched at the democratic
state headquarters in Harrisburg
where chairmen of committees, somt
of which are not yet named, hav'
been discussing the unusual condition
produced by the advent OF woman
sufrrage and the low registration.
The farmer-labor element has moi
shown any signs Of campaign activit.
except in parts of Philadelphia and II
Reading and few industrial centers
while the failure of the new Ameri
can party to effect a fusion on stat
ticket, except in one place with TIT
prohibitionists, puts it out of the run

electoral candidates and in additio

the future be done by women.
