COOLIDGE KEEPS HANDS OFF IN NATIVE STATE CONTEST

Coolidge, but whether anything can overcome the republica anism of Yer mont is question. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge stumped the state and wrote Coolidge a few days ago that everything looked good to him.
 Wntch Kentucky.
 Professional politicians, whose business it is to organize the 1924 fight, are paying more attention to the Maryland and Kentucky guber- material fights than anything else.
 In Maryland Governor Ritchie, 8 democrat, and 8 belligerent wet. who has talked out of meeting at both of the White House prohibition confer ences, Is running for reelection against Alexander Armstrong, re publican attorney general. Repub- licans are ostensibly dry. but Ritchie Is charging his opponent with pussy footing on the liquor issue. Women appear tG be organized behind the republican candidate and the anti racing leaders are against Ritchie. Democrats predict they will elect Ritchie by 10000 to 30.000. But the unknown strength of the <u Klux Klan, which figures prominently in Maryland state election for the first time. make prediction hazard ous.
 In Kentucky, republican leaders were cOnSlu efaDly ulSappolnteu that President Coolidge did not come to their assistance in the closing days of the campaign. Harding visited the state s a candidate in 1920 and saw it elect d republican state ticket and United States senator, al- tho ugh it barely failed to give him the electoral vote by less than 5000. Postmaster General New and other republican speakers have been in the state but the lack of White House assistance has discouraged state leaders, especially since James NJ. Cox, who has many friends in the state, has been stumping it. The re- publican candidate for governor, Charles l. Dawson, started under the handicap of 8 factional row within his party, but that has been smoothed over William J. Fields. democratic congressman, is the oppo- sition candidate. He is assailing the republicans on national questions.

STADIUM GAN KEEP b|G SUMS AT H0ME
Hundreds Of Birmingham Football Fans Journey To
 Georgia Cities Saturday
". II. sTOCKHAM

Several carloads of Birmingham s young football enthusiasts left Fri day for Atlanta and Columbus, Ga, where two of the south's major grid iron classics will be staged Satur- day. Early Saturday morning still other carloads will leave to attend the big games and it was estima ted Friday night that net less than $10,000 would be carried out of Br- mingham by these two games alone The sponsors of Birmingham new stadium movement-the members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. felt Friday that a realization of the fact that Birmingham football en- thusiasts had to leave town to see such games and that such large sum tf money is carried away would prove decided stimulus in getting more sentiment for the stadium so that Birmingham could have major contests throughout the football sea son.
 The young men of the junior cham Der have made remarkable progress in their efforts to dispose of stock in the proposed structure which IS to cose about S275,000. Under their financial plan they proposed to get S100,000 of the stock subscribed be- fore going to the various schools and cther institutions interested and already they have raised more than s6O.OO0 of the amount. practically all from the younger business men or Birmingham. The arrangement pro- vides for the issuance of bonds for about $1OO,O00 when the necessary stock is subscribed.
 The sponsors are not only encour- aged by their progress but they be- lieye that if the attention If the neonle of Birmingham is called to the large sums that go to other cities because Birmingham has not the fla cilities for staging a biz game prop erly it will arouse all citizens to the of getting the stadium under way at the earliest possible moment.

PARIS. Nov. 2.-(By Associated Press. )-The French government is not interested in any Rhineland sepa- ration movement, is not involved in the present one and is not encourage ing it.
