Judge Wilson's claim is for both

combined shafts from the Kentucky
antisaloon league and the Repub lean

been loosed. However, it is considered
likely, as is natural, that the sena-
torial candidate will run from 5000 to
10000 behind the head of the ticket
especially in view of the fight centered
on him, which has alienated not IN
considerable portion of the Democrat
supporting Davis. To a great extent
1t is true. Stanley viii have overcome
these handicans by polling most OF the

SIOCN FALLS. S. D, November I.
With the election near at hand
both the Coolidge and La Toilette
managers are claiming South Dakota.
There is no doubt that La Toilette
developed unexpected strength in
this State and La Toilette leaders
are claiming they will carry the
State for him. The Republicans, on
the other hand. claim that during the
past week or 10 days. there has been
pronounced swing from La Toilette
TO Coolidge. and that with anywhere
near a full Republican vote South
Dakota will give Coolidge plurality
Of 90. 900 or 10000 over Ia Toilette.
South Dakota women supporting
Coolidge are said to be doing valiant
work among women voters of the
State and Republican leaders say if
the State is saved to Coolidge it will
be largely due to the work of the
Coolidge women. There is little
doubt that Representative c. A.
Christopherson, Royal c. Johnson and
William Williamson, renominated by
the Republicans in the three districts
of the State, will be reelected, 1t is
practically certain that Carl Gun
derson, Republican nominee, will be
elected governor. 1t is claimed he
will carry nearly every county.
Louis n. Grill, Democratic State
chairman. claims the Democrats will
elect L. S. C. Cherry of Sioux Falls,
their candidate for U. S. Senator by
a plurality of 10000 over Gov w.
H. McMaster, Republican nominee,
who in the Spring primary campaign
supported Senator Hiram johnson for
President and in this campaign is
promising be will join the farm bloc
if elected and will demand a revision
of the present Republican tariff law

President Coolidge will carry West
Virginia by at least 10000. V l.
Highland, Republican national com
mitteeman. and Republican State
h headquarters agree on $4,000. Former
representative Joseph Holt Gaines,
a reliable prognosticator, told the
writer today the Coolidge plurality
would be at least 10000. Howard n.

appears 20 be safe by a comfortable
margin despite the fact that his
Democratic opponent. former United
States Senator W. E Chiffon, will
win a heavy vote from the La Fol
lette ranks.
View of Democratic Chairman.
Finley Bunlap, Democratic Stat
chairman. informs the writer that
conservative reports fully covering
the State indicate a plurality for
Davis not under $1,000. Democratic
leaders generally are optimistic, al
though many of them admit privately
that the results will be close.
Mai John r. Floyd the La Toilette
State manager, declares the Wiscon-
sin senator will have a plurality of
the votes and that Coolidge will be
poor third in the State poll. Un-
biased opinion is the La Toilette
strength has been diminishing the
past two weeks. His vote will not go
over $4,000, it is believed, although
Maj. Floyd is claiming 90 per cent OF
the mine vote and SIS per cent of the
labor vote as whole. This vote in
other years has been about equally
divided between the two major parties.
The state pride" factor that Demo
Gratis believed earlier would carry
Davis to a sweeping victory in West
Virginia does not seem to be very
potent. The pride is still there, but
not of sufficient strength to draw any
great number of Republicans. Several
of the more sanguine Republican
leaders say Coolidge will carry Davis

to pile it up by hundreds of thous-

WISCONSIN Senator might repeat what
but insists there is a silent vote
which will be heard from in the in

The British elections have had some
effect in Pennsylvania, where there
are so many industrial communities,
and 1t has helped Coolidge more than
Davis, but the manner in which the
Republican State organization has
swung into its campaign work is the
most significant of all recent de-
yelopments. The Democratic cam

been signs here and there of feelings
still ruffied by the Madison Square

have conducted a vigorous spt ech-
making campaign with the Senator

Pennsylvania elects only three

Republicans claim practically all of
