MIDDLE WEST HAS
 ! CAMPAIGN WIND-UP
Nine States End Pre-Election | Activities Today

Chicago, Nov (By Associated
 Press s)-Senatorial campaigns in nine
 states of the middle west end today
 as the issues in tomorrow's off-year
 election go to the people.
 The wind-up finds six United States
 senators from central states seeking
 reelection. They are:
 Republicans-Tow (Michi- gam; Kellogg, (Minnesota); LaFol- lette (Wisconsin).
 Democrats-Hitchcock (Nebraska);
 Reed (MissourD; Pomerene (Ohio). l The primary defeats of Senator
 New in Indiana, and McCumber in North Dakota, left the republican party in those states with new as- pirants to the senate. Former Sena- tor Beveridge progressive leader in the days of bull moose activities, is ] the standard bearer of Indiana re- publicans in his campaign to go back
 to the upper branch of congress. l Lynn J. Frazier, former Non
 Partisan League governor of North
 Dakota bears the republican label in that state for the McCumber seat In Iowa, where Smith w. Brook | hart is the republican nominee for the senatorial toga which former Senator | Kenyon exchanged for the ermine of | a federal judge, the closing campaign | found a more or less organized re- publican revolt against the Brookhart 1, candidacy A somewhat similar con- dition prevails in North Dakota, where there Is considerable republican antipathy to Frazieir.
 In Missouri a considerable shatter- ing of party lines was apparent in the. senatorial campaign with Senator
 James A. Reed drawing opposition | from 'drys" and Wilson democrats at
 the same time relying on many re- publican "wets" to desert Reginald Brewster. The Harding administrator is the big issue in Ohio the presidents home state with prohibition also question las the state votes on beer and wine referendun. Congressman Tess, champion of the Harding forces as the republican nominee Is at the end of one of the most intense campaigns | in the country on party issues in his contest with Senator Pomerene. Two women from the middlemwest, Mrs. Annie Dickie Oleson, in Minne- sota, and Mrs. J. J. Hooper in Wis consin, both democrats, are among
 the senatorial aspirants.
 Illinois. without senatorial con | test. has witnessed congressional
 campaign battles of considerable in
 tensity in some districts with demo-
 crats hoping to recapture outposts lost in the Harding landslide of 1920, and
 making a strenuous effort to upset

B. Dempsey yesterday marched on the Delaware and Hud- son railroad and connscated ls0 tons of coal frop, Its cars The boronsh's nine churchfs also were provided with fuel as result Of the raid which fol- lowed refusal of coal companies to sell their product in the borough.
 Any developments today were ey. pected to come from the Delaware and Hudson Co. although there was talk of other raids to confiscate fuel for use in stores business places and private homes if the coal companies continue to refuse to sell.
 The people of Olyphant contend that they exercised the legitimate police power of the community in making the raid, which they designate as an embargo on coal mined in the borough. For weeks they had en- deavored to buy from the Hudson Coal Co. which has several collieries in the borough and from the Temple Coal Co. which operates in an adioin- ing borough. Failing to obtain a supply from either Of these they ap- piled to the Pennsylvania public serv- ice commission.
 Declaration was made that a care full record had been kept of the amount of coal taken and that every pound will be paid for when a bill was presented.
