One major issue-is about all an cleo
! torate can deal with in a campaign,
anyway.
The Democrats are hoping for La
Toilette votes for their gubernatorial
candidate and for their candidates for
the House When IL comes to the
presidential ticket, however. it's an
other story. The La Toilette ticket
will cut into the Democrats, no ques-
tion about that. just as it cuts into
the Republicans. 1t will take some
of the Democratic members of or
ganized labor, It will take many of
the German votes in the southern
counties which have been strongly
Democratic in past years. On the
other hand 1t will cut into that Re-
publican stronghold, Lake County,
where Gary is located In fact. the
La Toilette leaders say they will
carry that county though the Re-
rublIcans scout .uch suggestion.
The German-Amcrican vote in the
State is considerab ablc-estimated at
about loo. .000-and La Toilette will.
il is believed, get a large share of
this vote. though not all. The esti-
mates of La Follette's strength in
the State run all the way from 100.-
600 to 100000 by his opponents. The
La Toilette people themselves say
ond place with Davis running third.
But it improbable that any such
result will sbe achieved. Indiana Is
not radical State. The Socialist
vote in tho State has not oeen much
in excess of 16.000--not a large num-
ber in total vote of nearly 100000.

however, was considerably below the

Of the State: business Is reported to
be fairly good, and wages are up and

Polls and more polls are being
taken in the State. One thing they
show is that Coolidge is running
ahead in the presidential race by
a very substantial figure. They show.
however. that McCulloch has the
better of the gubernatorial contest.
Some of them show La Toilette sec
ond to Coolidge, and others put Davis
second. Coolidge's plurality is con-
servativcly estimated at $4,000 votes.
He may have moro or he may have
less. If he should receive as high
as 125,000 plurality, the very mo-
mentum OF the Republican national
victory may carry Jackson across the

part are speaking kindly Of La Fol-

There is unuueStionably throughout
West Virginia deep admiration for the
personality and attainments of the
Democratic nominee. but partisanship
runs deeper in many instances than
State pride. 1t is true that the last few

compiled an average of .304 in 154
games, getting 173 hits for a total of

with New Orleans of the same cir

ment, getting 224 hits for a total of
314 bases in 1874 games for an aver
age of .355. that he was purchased
by Brooklyn.
In 1922, his first season with the
Dodgers, Griffith got an even 100 hits
in 106 games, his total bases being
144 and his average .307. The fol-
lowing winter he was member of
the outfit of big leaguers which took
a trip to the orient and had the mis-
fortune to seriously injure a leg.
This handicapped him to such an ex-
