NEBRASKA READY
TO GREET SMITH
Address Expected to Go Far
in Deciding State Vote
in November.
Special pispatch to rhe st.r.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OMAHA, Nebr., September 49,
Democrats here feel that If Gov Smith
makes a convincing speech on farm
relief next Tuesday he will in great part
decide how the State will go in No
vember.
With a majority of 81 900 votes which
Coolidge had to overcome, the New
York executive Is expected by Demo-
cratic leaders to make the address OF
his lifetime. Admittedly on its effect
here and in other farm States he Is
to visit, the outcome will largely depend.
The swing of the foreign-born voters
to the Democratic side Is already well
under way. Not all the Germans will
change from the Republican side. how
Bohemian and Polish voters are likely
to change in block, with Scandi-
navians more largely split. The Demo-
Gratis never have won without the Ger
man vote, a majority Of which no..
seems headed their way.
But to Offset this detection. the drys
are putting up a bitter fight. The
State Anti-Saloon League has appealed
for a special $4,000 fund to beat Smith.
Protestants are especially active. Most
of the early maneuvering openly fav-
orable to Smith has come from Cath
olic, Episcopal and non-church attend
ing persons.
More and more 1t seems that the
cleavage even on the farm relief ques-
ton will be Influenced by religious
preferences. Mrs. Charles G. Ryan,
newly-appointed Democratic national
committeewoman of Grand Island, TAX
ing the place Of the incumbent who
Yves dry and Protestant and went
over to Hoover, came out this week In
a strong plea against intolerance, de-
nouncing ii as the "specter" that Is
frightening women voters without cause.
Though member of the w. G. T. u,
she announces strong support OF Smith
and begged women of the State to fight
for religious liberty, guaranteed by the
Constitution, and make the election OF
Smith vital evidence that they mean
what. they think.
Democratic speakers have denounced
circulation of literature through lodge
sources intimating that Smiths election
would be blow at the schools. Both
Republican and Democratic meetings
! here in Omaha have been well attend
ed. While the city Is regarded the
| stronghold of Smith sentiment, 1t be-
comes more apparent that the outcome
is not to be one-sided Organized labor
added the Endorsement Of its State
| federation this week.
Interest In the farm question and Al
Smith in particular will be revealed
by the attendance at the Smith speech
| next week.
Inquiries are pouring in for reserva-
| lions. If there is to be sweep the
number of voters who burn gasoline to
see their candidate should be an indi-
| cation. When Hoover came through
| Omaha at 8 o'clock In the morning to
| 90 to his notification 400 persons await
| ed him. GEORGE F. FISHER.

the national and State ticket. it. was

the national and State ticket. 1t. was
explained.
In other words, when campaign meet
ings in behalf of the State and national
candidates are held in Chicago there
must be no mention by the speakers
of the county fight, and no candidates
flor county o:1ces are to be permitted
to appear on the same program with
State and national candidates.
While this plan was approved by the
leaders who took part in the confer
ence, 1t didn't get over so big with the
workers In the group led by United
States Senator Charles S. Deneen.
Some of these charged that it was only
a subterfuge for sidetracking the county
ticket during the wind-up of the battle
so that the Democrats will have no
difficulty in electing their candidates,
some of whom the Thompson Grove
group are said to favor over the Deneen
candidates for the same positions.
AS a result the efforts of the leaders
to negotiate a partial truce in the in
terest of the national and State ticket
may be in vain. Direct orders to the
leaders Of both Republican groups to
drop the local squabble until after the
election have been given TO them by
Hoover managers.
The caravan of Republican candi-
dates and speakers who are on barn
storming tour of the State say that
Illinois Is certain to duplicate past per-
formances and 60 Republican again this
year. Everywhere the Republican cam
didates are greeted with enthusiasm
they reported, even in the farming dis
tricts, where there was supposed to be
demands for a change In administra-
tons and farm relief.
Democratic leaders have practically
completed their plans for the campaign
and will begin an intensive speaking
campaign Monday, it was announced.
The leaders will center their efforts
largely in Chicago and Cook County, 1t
is understood, where Smith is popular
and may be expected to carry into office
many Democrats who otherwise might
not arrive. E. c. NORLANDER.

WOMEN CAST HEAVY.

poindexter Defeat in Primary.
Albert Johnson Wins in
Congress Race.
special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, September 15.-
With the primary nominating elections
out of the way, Washington has settled
down to take the national presidential
campaign seriously. The primaries of
last Tuesday found the greatest num-
Der of woman voters ever turned out
for such elections, and the vast ma
jority voted in the Republican polls
This is taken to indicate that the
November elections will find and UNI
usually large number of woman voters,
and there will be for the most part
active workers and supporters of the
Republican tickets.
Former United States Senator Miles
Poindexter was defeated for the Re-
publican nomination for the Senate by
Kenneth Macintosh, former chief JUS
tice of the State Supreme Court and a
former claSSmate of Herbert Hoover at
Stanford University. Mackintosh drew
a tremendous primary vote and has
started on his campaign looking for
ward to the November elections, when
he will battle Senator c. c. Dill, Demo-
crat, for his seat.
In the congressional districts Albert
johnson alone fell afoul of trouble.
Homer T. Bone, former Socialist, DEM
ocrat, Farmer-Laborite, and now a Re-
publican. ran a close race for the nomi-
nation, johnson finally nosing him out.

are coming and going and there Is every
indication of activity.
The Republicans are not making such
an open show of action as the Demo-
Gratis, and it is whispered that this is
the result of design. 1t Is apparent
that 1t Is not the purpose Of Republic
can leaders in Virginia to stress party
lines or to call on the people to vote
for Hoover as the Republican candi-
date. They are trusting to the So
called Hoover Democrats to carry the
election for them and are keeping
somewhat in the background. At vari-
Gus places where Republican speakers
appear, the circulars advertising their
meetings make no mention Of the fact
that the addresses will be delivered by
Republicans.
Throughout the State the bolt from
the Democratic party Is in full blast,
and no Democratic leader attempts to
disguise the fact that the situation is
serious. The State is being deluged
with campaign literature, mainly of the
anti-Catholic type. 1t Is having an
effect.
The boilers, however, are without To-
cal political leaders, and the Demo-
Gratis expect this to play heavily in their
favor on election day. Democratic
leaders of Statewide prominence have
without exception lined up behind the
Smith Robinson ticket Virtually all
of the county and city officeholders
have followed suit. Word has been
passed down the line that Hoover
victory In Virginia would mean the
election of Republicans to State and
local offices next year, and perhaps in
after years, and this, in addition to
other things, has caused the "organiza-
tion," as 1t Is known in Virginia, to
present a solid front.
No matter what the result of the
election In Virginia, it is certain that
the Anti-Saloon League and the Demo-
cratic organization In the, State, after
having been allied together for nearly
two decades. have parted ways. perhaps
forever. R. L. G. BARRETT.

CONCORD, N. H., September 49,
New Hampshire held its State primary
last Tuesday, and nepubiicans nomi-
mated Charles w. Tobey of Temple and
Manchester as the G. o. P. candidate
for governor, defeating Ora A. Brown
Of Ashland by 5000 majority. Brown,
a member of Co.. Huntley N. Spauld-
ing's executive council, was the "old
guard" candidate, and a laSt-hour ap-
peal to the Republican voters by United
States Senator George Higgins Moses
evidently fell on deaf ears.
This is the second time that Senator
Moses candidate has been set back.
Four years ago the Senator backed
Col. Frank Nox of Manchester for
governor, and the Republicans named
John G. Winant of Concord. Senator
Moses finishes his present term in 1888,
and there are rumors that he will not
stand for reelection. There are we'll
defined reports that the "old guard
will try to stop Tobey from being
elected governor and kill OF the WI
nant-Bass "progressives."

I'm Nelson II. guess, too, that I'm
the biggest catbird In the bunch" He
was certainly no modest flower, born
to blush unseen.
And with that he plunged into a Won
derful narrative of his life that in
cluded an all-America foot ball career at
Princeton. a hit-or-miss life in a Mica
raguan revolution. and Is months in
Flanders fields with Gen. Cronkhite. To
prove his statements he demonstrated
numerous scars on various portions OF
his anatomy. Always though, he would
branch off of his subject and say
There was four of us boys, there was
Johnnie Poe and Gresham Poe and
Nelson Poe and me. I'm Nelson H."
Too. he always eulogized Johnnie Poe
who incidentally was one OF the greatest
grid stars that ever wore Princeton
colOrs.
Liked Bill Dodderer.
Then, with an apparent liking for
Bill Dodderer, he pulled the hairpin
from the pockets OF his rather delapi-
dated coat and presented it to the tar
heel captain as an evidence of his un-
dying affection. THAT hairpin will
bring you luck" he said.
Il found that pin on a street in
Baltimore II years ago and have car
ried 1t ever since It got me through
the World War and It will give you
luck Monday 'gainst Mississippi If
you'll wear it in the back belt strap
on your breeches."
These we're Nelson's parting instruc-
tions before he left carrying Billy
Devin's new hat with him.
Bill Dodderer did wear that hairpin
on Monday night. He tried four. shots
and sunk three of them for field goals.
The Tarheels whipped "Ole Miss" 80
to % and won the final from the
Mississippi Aggies by the same count.
So whether Nelson Poe II. self-styled
"catbird," told the truth or not, the
fact remains that there were no more
close games.
Dodderer will show you that hairpin
today and tell you 1t won the tourna-
ment, and has carried 1t back this
year.
