votes over William B. Mckinley.

Senatorship from Illinois. Colonel
Smith. who is chairman Of the Re.
publican State Committee, and Of

based his campaign on opposition
to the World Court, which Senator
Mckinley favored, and thus gave

CROP REPORT

The harvesting OF spring wheat
started the past week in number
Of places in the northwest. according
to the weekly crop report issued by
the Van Dusen Harrington company
of Minneapolis. This extends into
the northern districts and west into
Montana. In some places no cutting
will be done for ten days or two
weeks. Some Of the early wheat has
matured very rapidly. due to hot
weather. During the past week. in
been very good rains that should help
the late wheat. There are, however.
numerous dry spots where the later
wheat should have moisture. Very
little threshing has been done. SO
that the yields are uncertain.
There has been u great deal Of in
terest as to the probable outcome Of
the northwestern wheat crop. The
July figures Of the United States
Department OF Agriculture indicated
a total Of about 15O.0O0,0OO bushels
for 1926. against POI 900 900 bushels
for last year, being the combined pro-
ductions Of bread wheat and durum.
Since July there has probably been
some deterioration in all Of the small
grain crops. due to extreme heat and
dry weather. For comparison, we
have separated the spring wheat in
to two classes. showing the bread
wheat 99.327, 900 bushels for 1926
against l34. S88. 900 bushels for 1925;
durum wheat $1,000 900 bushels for
1926 against GG.593, 900 bushels for
1926.
During the year we have reported
the bad condition of the oats crop
of the four northwestern states. The
government figures Of July l indi-
cate 235,474.OOO bushels for 1926
against 399,6l4,OOO bushels for 1925.
The major losses occurred in Min
nesota and South Dakota.
The barley crop has maintained .
slightly higher standard than the
oats. The government estimate OF
July is 1891 900 bushels for the
four northwestern states. against 1O3,-
$4,000 bushels for 1926.
flax crop during the past week. At
the flax will be benefited. In South
Dakota especially there are num-
Der of districts that are still very
dry. as they have not received any
moisture recently. The July esti-
mate indicated 1928. 900 bushels of
flax for the four northwestern states
against 21,389,O00 bushels for 1925.
The outcome of the corn is very
uncertain at the present time. A
number of districts in South Dakota
are suffering because of insufficient
moisture and the leaves on corn in
i places have turned brown. Where
they have had rains. the condition
of the crop is good. except in the
north. where it is still very late
There will be quite a variation in the
crop. depending wholly on weather
conditions. The government estimates
of July 1 indicated 29l.9S4 900
bushels for 1926 against 27l .657. 900
bushels for 1925 for the four north
western states.
The rye harvest has been finished
throughout the northwest and esti-
mates indicate total production of
around 100000 bushels, which is
about G5 per cent Of the 1925 total.
This crop was very poor throughout
the northwest.

FACING DEMOCRATS.
Weaning of Catholic Votes by
G. o. P. One Feature of
Massachusetts Race.
BY GOULD LINCOLN,
staff CORRESPONDENT of The Star

LAWRENCE, Mass October g.
No better illustra ton Of the complicat-
ed situation in Massachusetts today
can be found than here In this mill
town The capital of the Common
wealth. Boston. isn't a city, it's
labyrinth. Politics in this State seem
to be patterned after the same fashion.
The interjection Of the wet and dry
issue has upset the calculations and
has enhanced the maze in which the
political leaders find themselves.
Here in Lawrence, as in Boston and
other parts Of the State, no one can
say. with any assurance. just how the
wet and dry issue is likely to affect
the political fortunes of Senator Will
liam NJ. Butler. or former Senator
David |. Walsh. or the fortunes OF
Gov. Alvan r. Fuller, the Republican
nominee. to succeed himself. or those
Of Col. William a. Castor. the Demo
cratic choice for governor.
Other Issues Loom Up.
But there are other issues in
Lawrence besides that Of prohibition
hich threaten to set awry the re.
suits Of election. For many years
Lawrence has been Democratic
stronghold-indeed. it has been more
strongly Democratic than Boston or
any other Massachusetts city. for its
size.
The organization Of an "1rsh.Ameri-
can Republican Club" in which many
former Democratic office-holders are
leading spirits, is one of the elements
Of uncertainty. This club boasts a
membership of 400. almost all of
whom, in the past, have been in office
as Democrats It's birth, its leaders
say. Is due to the growing impression
among Irish. American Catholics that
nationally the irish American Catholic
voter has nothing to hope for from
the Democratic party, which Is con.
trolled in Congress by the South.
where the aSpira tiOns OF Catholics for
high office are denounced, and where
the Ku klux klan Is largely Demo.
cratic. The American Association for
the Recognition of the Irish Republic
had its birth very largely in 1920
right here in Lawrence. It's repre-
sentatives went 10 Washington to see
what could be done for De Valera,
President of the Irish Republic. They
say they ran up against a stonewall
in the shape of Democratic Senators
and Representatives from the South.
They were aroused against the Demo
cratic administration, also, when Pres
ident Wilson advocated American en-
try into the League of Nations. And
finally, they got an overdose of
Democratic national politics in the
Madison Square convention in 1924.
They have become convinced that Gov.
AL Smith Of New York. Catholic has
no chance of being nominated for
President because Of his religion. and
they see no future for them in the
national Democratic party.

the lead of Miss White and Mrs.
Haynes became one up at the turn
when Miss White took four shots in
bunkers at the ninth hole. Miss
White squared the match on the long
tenth and the eleventh was halved
in five. Then Miss White began a
streak of erl'atic putting that seemed
certain to cost her the match. She
took three puts on the twelfth hole
to give Mrs. Haynes a half and three
puts on both the thirteenth and four.
teenth green's. to lose both holes.
They halved the fifteenth, leaving Miss
White two sdown and three to go.
