BY G.'GOULD LINCOLN.
Stan CORE. Spdept of The Star.

LOS ANGELES, October 8.-Unless
there is a great change within the next
four weeks, the Democratic party as a
national party on the day after election
will be found to have nearly vanished
from the Northwestern and Pacific
Coast States. The Democratic strength
is being split to large extent between
La Toilette on the one hand and Cool
idge on the other. according to the radi-
cal or conservative views held by the
voters. In practically all these States
the atmosphere of apathy around Demo-
cratic headquarters is thick enough to
cut with a knife. Little effort. 1t seems.
Is being made to stem the tide.
1t was manifest during the Demo-
cratic national convention in New York
that the Western States were bent on
nominating "a progressive. They had
picked upon William Gibbs McAdoo as
the most available man. He registered
progressive with -them. Under his BAN
ner. too. many of the voters who were
dissatisfied generally with conditions
without thinking one way or another
about 'progressivism'' were ready to
enroll. Came the defeat of McAdoo and
the nomination of John w. Davis, whom
many of the Western Democrats looked
upon as in a class with Calvin Coolidge
so far as progressive measures are con-
cerned. Many of them retired dis
gruntled. The air was out Of the balloon
so far as they were concerned.
California Discouraged.
In none of the, Western States, per-
haps, is the Democratic discourage
ment greater than it is right here In
California. Perhaps this is due. in
part. to the lead which California
democracy took in the fight to noui-
nate McAdoo for the presidency. The
Democrats of the State spent n large
amount of money to help finance his
preconvention and convention cam
paigns. They have not been willing
so far, to contribute further to the
Democratic campaign The conse-
quence Is that the war chest in this
State is sadly depleted. Where you
see large offices and many workers
for La Toilette and for Coolidge, there
is scarcely a semblance Of activity on
the part of the Democrats and their
offices and workers are small in size
and number
The Democratic leaders had been
hoping for a revival Of Democratic
sentiment when McAdoo should take
the stump for the party ticket in this
State, in Oregon and Washington, as
IL was hoped he would do. The news
that he had been compelled to go to
a hospital in Baltimore for an opera
tion and would not. in all proba bility.
be able to campaign prior to the cleo
tion was disappointment to them.
For example. leaders in some of these
States frankly said they would prefer
to have McAdoo come to them for a
number of speeches rather than Candi-
date Davis.

to urge the government to lend mill
tary aid by intervening In the Chinese
war on the side of Gen. Chang Tso-

Most Of the propaganda has been
