 The republicans have candidates in the field in all of the 10 Virginia congressional districts. nine of North Carolina's ten and other districts

RECEIVE REPLIES
 TO OFFER OF PRIZE
ny Associated Press

Washington. November 6.--Suggss- tions for settling the question or the allied wartime indebtedness to the United States have been pouring into the treasury since President Hard- ing recently expressed a willing ness 10 award prize for any prac- tlcal concrete suggestion for it's col, lection. The President. 1t was ex- plained at the White House at thel time, considered interesting suggest tions by numerous individuals that the debt should be collected, but h4 had found an unanimous disineiina- ton to make concrete proposals as to how collection was to be ap- preached.
 Evidently. 1t was said, by high of ficials at the treasury today many persons had taken the reported offer of prize by the President literally and daily suggestions as to how the various foreign debts might be liqui- dated, are reaching the treasury.
 One man wrote that he had plan. but wished to know more concern ing the prize before he made known it's details.
 However. according to high of- ficlals. none of the debt liquidation suggestions so far received. have of fered anything of q constructive na- ture for the solution of the problem.

Voters of Alabama Monday will act on two proposed constitu- tionional amendments and on party tickets for state and county offices, in what promises, according to ex- perts, to be the heaviest vote ever polled.
 Eleventh hour efforts for the adop- tion of the Mobile Seaport amend ment were made Monday night in radio appeals broadcasted over the state. Henry K. Miner. chairman for the amendment made an appeal through the Alabama Power com pany's station and was followed by Mrs. Richard F. Johnson. who urged women of the state to exercise their franchise in voting for the amend ment. Indications were that the amendment will carry by a good ma jority. Little opposition to it mas been reported.
 Former residents of Talladeea a have been active In Birmingham for some time in an effort to insure adoption of the so-called Talladega amendment to the constitution. It is believed that this amendment will also be adopted
 
 Both Democrats and Republicans express confidence regarding the outcome in the Seventh congressional district. where the party fight has been particularly heated. Clarence Inzer. democratic chairman CT the district. claimed that Miles B. All good. the democratic, nominee. will win over Lonnie Noojin. republican. by at least 5000. Republican lead CTS in the district were equally in- sistent in their assertions that Noo- jin will be elected,
 The republican tariff act has been the chief bone of contention in the seventh district Efforts by demo- crats to discredit the tariff have been met by a persistent fight by the re- publicans to justify it. Thereon hangs one of the hottest congres- si!onal campaigns waEed in the state.

 hUnless women" the appeal added, "can be brought to an impelilng realization that suffrage is a duty carrying sacred obligations on which the institution of democracy rests, the amendment will prove a right but not a benefit"
