Helena, Nov. 6.-(By The AS
sociated Press. s.)-Increased interest
in the campaign in Montana during the
last week is causing both democratic
and republican leaders to anticipate q
larger vote than was predicted by either
i. side during the earlier weeks of cleo
tioneering.
With attention nearly evenly divided
between the race between Burton Il.
Wheeler, democrat, and Carl W. Rid
dick, republican, for the United States
senate and the statewide fight between
Dixon and anti-Dixon forces for con-
troll of the next legislature, last minute
rallies by congressional, state and legls-
lative candidates are scheduled for
every county tonight.
The prospect for fair weather and
a warmer temperature is hailed by both
democrats and republicans as making
probable larger number of voters at
the polls in the farming districts OF
eastern Montana.

No Embargo Likely
on Canadian Grain


Washington, Nov. 6.--No embargo
on Canadian grain is probable despite
the demand of the American Farm Bu-
reau federation and other organiza
Ftions. This is the information which
is given out here unofficially from
sources intimately in touch with the
situation. 1t is pointed out that to
embargo Canadian grain now, mas
much as there are thousands of cars
on this side of the line, would probably
mean retaliation should the United
States desire to move grain through
Canada as it sometimes does.
Moreover, United States railway
lines promise soon to relieve the CON
gestion of grain at the small elevators
in the west and northwest and say
they are near the end of the worst of
their car shortage.

WYOMING LINING UP

Casper, Wyo., Nov. 6.-On the eve
of the election to name congressman
state and county officers. central wy
oming is lining up in doubtful man,
ner regarding the election Of Unltea
States senator from Wyoming. Late
Indications are that in Natrona c3u.s'
Frank w. Mondell and John b. Ken
drick. the latter the present lncum-
bent, will run neck and neck.
There is every indication that the
race between these two will be close
throughout central Wyoming. In the
northern and northwestern part OF the
state. Senator Kendrick is expected to
run ahead of Mondell,. according to
the forecast at democratic county mead
quarters here.
With the north for kendrick, the coal
part of Wyoming doubtful, and the
southern section probably for Mondeil,
the battle probably will center on the
central part of the state.
The democrats here claim that hen-
drick will carry Natrona county by a
substantial majority and tnaL thls ma
iority will re-elect him.
Natrona county will have more than
1000 persons eligible to vote Tues
day. making it the largest county vote
in the state.
Democrats Confident
For governor, there are some who
believe that w. B. Ross of Cheyenne,
democrat, will carry Natrona county
against John W. Hay of Rock Springs,
republican candidate. The democratic
leaders here base such an opinion on
the tremendous vote cast for Robert
Carey, republican, and present COVER
nor in the primary race against Hay
this fall. The claim that many of these
Carey republicans prefer Ross to Hay:
However, central Wyoming is expected
to show majority for Hay.
Natrona county and most Of central
Wyoming may be counted on to give e.
e. Winter of Casper, republican can
didate for United States representa-
tive, the largest majority of any G. o..
p. man running in the state. Robert
R. Rose, democratic candidate. is not
expected to make much Of race for
this office in Natrona county.
Interest in Natrona county politics
centers on the sheriff's race. Sheriff
Joe Marquis, republican candidate, has
come out openly against the Ku Klux
Klan. while Perry Morris, former police
Judge, in answering Marquis, has said
he is in favor Of constituted authorities
enforcing the law and has criticized
Marquis for bringing in the Ku Klux
Klan issue.
