miles. Others say the constant repe-
tition of practically the same songs
and specialties becomes exceedingly
irksome. Even the heads of some of
the once crowned ETHEREAL entertain
ers are beginning to lie uneasy. 1t is
due to lack of variety and vision.
Program managers explain that
most fans do not write in unless they
are especially pleased with some
thing. believing that their old root
ers are still back of the station unless
they register complaints. Few list
eners are rude enough to kick when
the programs are given to them with
out charge. Just as going to the
theater on pass, we are. after ALL
"deadheads," and it is ungracious to
complain very much. 1t is easier
to keep still and listen-in on another
program.
Asks Taking Of Census.
Some features are so good that II
they stop the station regulars protest,
and then indeed, the station proba-
bly, has a real tip on what Is desired.
Which shows that changes as well as
innovations would improve entertain
ment or at least bring in reports
checking program values. Decrease
in the number of correspondents is
on the part of fans, but rather to
the lack of a post card, or time. 1t
may be pure laziness in some cases,
but we suggest that program man
ayers test it out, taking nothing for
granted if they wish to retain large
audiences and their hard-won popu-
larity. One station operator says that
SO far he has not found 1T necessary
to pay for talent. This is indeed
fortunate, but while this broadcaster
has a number OF decidedly good fea-
lures, it is one that Is on the air for
long periods when nothing of especial
worth is broadcast. Sometimes it ap-
proacheS the home talent show, when
some of us conceited ones say to our
selves or our famflies: Il can tell
that story better myself" or Mary
can sing that number better than she
did"
Naturally. it is up to the broad
caster, and it is assuming the role of
the critic for us to diagnose or pan"
the programs on the air. However we
feel disposed to voice the sentiments
of number of fans, and suggest dis
trict censuses or criticisms Of the To-
cally transmitted programs. Broad
casters can't go on simply transmit
ting and get anywhere, they must
have something to broadcast, just as
a newspaper has fresh news each day,
despite its regular features. Even
then when news or advertising is
scarce the number Of pages is always
decreased.

by the Coolidge. Davis and La Fol-
iette tickets, particularly in the
Western States, are as conflicting as
the pronouncements which emanate
from the rival training camps of con-
testants for national heavyweight
honors. But there is increasing evil
dence that conditions in the agricul-
tural West are improving, and the
feeling is growing stronger and
stronger that improved conditions
will tend to aid the Republicans.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota,
staunch supporter of the admfnistra-
ton, recently returned to Washing
ton from the West, is one OF the lat
est to bear testimony to the improved
conditions Of the farmers in his part
Of the country.
In his opinion, the La Toilette
Wheeler organization, which has
been counting strongly on CARRYING
the Dakotas, will have a great deal
more of a fight on its hands than
it had expected. due to the changed
situation, and also to the fact that
many people are seriously opposed to
having the selection of President
taken from their hands and turned
over to the House and Senate.

Piles Up Big Lead-La Toilette
Drawing Strength From Demo-
Gratis, Test Shows.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September g.
The first installment of the State wide
poll of the Columbus Dispatch which
will be published tomorrow. indicates
unexpected strength on the part Of
President Coolidge with the voters of
Ohio. 1t will show the President far
above Davis and La Toilette in the
total vote received and to be getting
the advantage very decidedly in the
changes to be made in the coming
election across the party line. though
the trend from the Democratic ranks
to the La Toilette support is pro-
nounced. The test of the voters so
far as I. 49,. been made on this first
instailment of the poll results indi-
cate that La Toilette will have q
very. substantial vote. running. well
up to that given Mr.. Davis, and that
by far the most of his support will
be secured at the expense OF the
Democratic candidate.
On the State ticket, however. the
polI indicates that Gov. Donahey,
Democrat, running for reelection
against former Gov. Harry l. Davis
may be elected, though no walk-away
for him is apparent. The Dispatch's
polls in many former elections have
proved remarkably reliable in fore
casting results and in every case the
trend Of political sentiment indicated
on the first few thousand votes polled,
has persisted through to the end.

STATE ISSUES FIRST
IN INDIANA'S FIGHT
Special Dispatch to The Star.


INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, September
s.-Republican leaders have grown so
confident that President Coolidge will
carry Indiana this Fall that little
organization work in behalf of the
national ticket has been done. Party
leaders, recognizing that by far the
greater task is to carry the State
for Ed Jackson, Kan backed candi-
date for governor, have been con-
centrating their efforts on him.
In some quarters. especially those
composed of stalwart Republicans
who do not take kindly to the intru-
sion of the Klan in internal G. o. P.
affairs, the lack of activity in behalf
of the national ticket seems to be
mistake. They believe that every
effort should be put forth to wage a
national campaign in Indiana, for
getting the embarrassing State issues
that arose during the McCray admin
istration, ignoring the kan issue and
tying everything up with Coolidge
and Dawes, both of whom are admit
tedly popular here.
Senator watson and Albert J. Bev-
eridge have sensed the situation and
both have made plans to campaign
extensively in the State. Watson>w
make SO speeches and Beveridge has
placed himself at the disposal of the
State speakers bureau. Although
Watson has frequently urged Jack
sons election, Beveridge has been
silent on the subject, leading to the
belief that he will confine himself
almost entirely to national matters
when he takes the stump.
The Democrats are centering their
activities on State issues. They are
pushing their tnti-klan campaign and
under the guidance of Thomas Tag
gart seem to be making headway. 1t
seems to be the plan of the Demo-
cratic leaders to confine the campaign
to State issues and they are well sat
isfied with the Republican program
thus far.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE. September 6.-With
the speech of President Coolidge here
today at the unwilling of the Lafa-
yette statue, the meeting of the
Democratic State central committee
on Thursday, at which Gov. Ritchie
opened the campaign in Maryland
for John w. Davis. and the filing of
petition containing the names Of
$500 voters asking that the names
Senator La Toilette and Senator
Wheeler and their electors be placed
on the State ballot with the secre-
tary OF State yesterday, the three
cornered fight to carry the state in
the presidential election on November
4 got under way this week.
That the third party is going to
poll a heavy vote Is conceded by
practically all politicians, but which
OF the two parties will be harder
hit by the DETECTION OF voters is A
question on which none of them will
venture guess. but all agree that
the vote will be close.
Straws show which way the wind
blows, and straw ballots sometimes
show which way an election will GO
In which case President Coolidge's
chances are the best. at least in Bal
tlmore. according to the results of
several straw ballots taken by a
local newspaper, the latest one. an.
nounced today, giving Coolidge TAO,
La Toilette $50 and Davis 619.
Coolidge Showing Good,
The showing OF President Coolidge
! Is considered remarkable by some
politicians when it Is taken into con-
sideration that Maryland is an anti
Kan State and he is the only one
come out with a denunciation of the
ku klux Klan so far. 1t is also
held by many that the President
could greatly strengthen himself in
the state by statement opposing
the establishment of an invisible
empire in the United States.
La Foilette's showing il attribute
to no small extent that While he
has not made any statement as to
fication of the Volstead act, the
Maryland Anti-Soloon League has an
nounced its opposition to him and let
1t be known that either Coolidge or
Davis is acceptable to the league.
This has naturally had the effect
OF drawing many of the wet" votes
to the Wisconsin Senator and II the
Maryland branch of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendent
ers in many of the city wards will
flnd the going rough.
The Democrats in Maryland are
fighting under a handicap and that
handicap is Charles w. Bryan, the
vice presidential candidate of the
party. AS one Democratic chieftain
put it today, John w. Davis is fight
ing three men here in this election
Coolidge. Dawes and Bryan"
The idea that conservatives would
vote Democratic because of Davis and
the Liberals because of Bryan, may
work out in other States, but 1t is
safe to say that in Maryland thou
sands of voters are preparing to re-
verse the situation, according to all
Indications. Liberals won't vote the
Democratic ticket because of Davis
and conservatives, who are largely
in the majority, won't vote it be-
cause of Bryan.
