G. 0. P. TO SHOW
GAINS IN FLORIDA
Registration This Year Tops the
Previous Record by
$4,000.
Special Dispatch to The Star,

Specla! Dispatch to The Star
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, October 81
Ten days before the election Florida
seems about ready to pile up a snIen-
did vote for Democracy with the Re-
publican party making by far the best
showing 1t has ever known in this State
registration, which is requirement for
voting and In which the political affili
atlon is declared by the applicant for
such privilege, has exceeded by $4,000
any previous election year.
The increase would not be normal in
proportion to the growth of popula-
ton, but is understood to be on ac-
count OF special interest, the greater
attention given by women and the
rallying into line by partisan leaders.
But for the detection that has been
partially successful in Democratic ranks
the majority-as estimated by party
declaration-would be five to one. Op-
position to Gov. Smith among Demo-
Gratis will reduce it to considerably less.
look over the nearly 200 State
newspapers reveals the fact that but
three are Squarely out for the Republi-
can ticket and few lukewarm or in
ol1erent. The others are studdily voic-
ing the call for Democratic victory and
quoting prominent men and women of
the country and State in favor of the
nominee and platform. In nearly all
OF the towns and cities of Florida Demo-
cratic speakers, sent out by the State
organization, have been heard and this
will be continued during the next week.
Senator Fletcher is chairman of the
Democratic campaign committee and
has made a number Of addresses.
Republican activities are very much
mixed" with those of the so-called
Hoover-Democrats, a group that is
working strenuously to defeat Gov.
Smith and proposes to vote for Hoover
and then follow the other nominations
of the Democratic party through the
ticket. The mixture, naturally. includes
the disappointed politicians and some
others of the regular Democratic party
the regular Republicans, who have
candidates for the United States Senate,
three congressional seats, governor and
State treasurer, and whatever indc-
pendents may be found. 1t is not a
congenial mixture, evidently, although
the Republicans are we'll enough pleased
| to get additional votes for Hoover.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, october
27.-Supplemental registration period
closed Friday with indications of more
than $4,000 additional voters added to
the rolls. A vote November Of ESQ.,
900 Is forecast The States largest
vote is 100000. New registration was
heaviest In the cities. Oklahoma City
had $4,000, Tulsa 10000, Muskogee
1000, Enid $500 and other towns scaled
down in proportion to population.
The largest development of the week
was the publication of letter written
by George Key State chairman for the
Democrats, in which the titular leader
of the party stated that he had more
respect "for good honest niger" than
white Democrat who Is going to vote
for Hoover. InaSmuch as 1t Is antici-
pated that some $4,000 Democrats have
turned to Hoover in Oklahoma because
of the prohibition issue and the re-
ligious question, the Republicans are
not reticent in sounding Keys con-
tempt from the housetops.
The speaking barrage continues un-
abated, with the Democrats shelling
the fox-holes of the n counties In the
State. The county Republican organi-
ZationS are not so active, seeming sat-
istied the way the situation lines up.
The State still appears Hoover's by
$4,000.

IDAH0ANS ATTACK
ROBINSON'S SPEECH
Party Leaders See Miscue in Nom

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 27.-The political
situation in Idaho was enlivened by
the visit of Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, Democratic candidate for Vice
president, an ardent dry, and his at
tack on Senator Borah for alleged in
consistency in the present political
contest. To many party leaders the
attack was interpreted as showing de-
cidedly poor political judgement, ILL
timed and most unfortunate for the
cause of Gov. Smith of New York, be-
cause it did not help the national
cause of the Democratic party in this
State, where Senator Borah is some
what idolized.
Particularly was 1t hurtful among
the Progressives and Is believed to have
driven even the doubtful ones into the
Hoover camp.
The appearance of Senator Robinson
in support of a presidential nominee
who Is recognized as politically wet
when he himself is an ardent dry was
also viewed In the light of being rather
inconsistent, declare party leaders. Inc
Republican State central committee,
through its chairman John McMurray,
has even gone so far as to answer the
Senator from Arkansas, claiming that
he gave an unfair impression of Sena-
tor Borah's criticism Herbert Hoover
during the war. \. LAWSON.

UTAH DEMOCRATS CLAIM
STATE AND NATIONAL RACE
special pispatch to The Star.


SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, october 81
Republicans concede the election of
Dern as governor, but claim they will
carry the rest of the ticket. The DEM
ocrats claim the entire State and county
ticket and say Smith will even carry
Utah.
From careful survey, however, indi-
cations are that Hoover will carry the
State by narrow margin; that SEN
ator william H. King, Democrat: the
two Republican representatives, e. Q.
Leatherwood and Don B. Cotton, will
be reelected as well as Gov. George H.
Dern, and that Dern may carry the
State ticket with him as vol as a
Democratic Legislature.
The real question is, though. whether
Hoopers margin or Dern's will carry
the State and county tickets. The
Democrats are confident they have a
better chance In Utah than ever before.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


DIES MONIES, Iowa, October 81
The goal of Iowa's disgruntled Repub-
lican farmers seemed step nearer at
tainment with the action of Senator
Norris of Nebraska indorSing Smith.
Several thousand Iowans, normally
Republican, have organized the Agri-
cultural Equality Voters League for the
purpose of spanking" their party by
cutting down its lead next month. The
strength of this group is supplemented
by the majority of IowanS who voted
for La Toilette four years ago, accord
ing to evidence offered by scouts and
straw polls.
The Iowa Farmers Union Is another
organization which has in effect de-
clared for Smith despite the theoretical
non -partiSanship of the union. This
group has voting strength estimated
by itself as $4,000 and which in all
likelihood exceeds 10000.
If Senator Norris is successful in
swinging to Smith the La Toilette vote,
it will mean approximately 200,0 900 Re-
publican votes. La Toilette polled 275,-
900 in 1924, but about $4,000 were Dem
ocratic votes. 1t is altogether probable
that Smith will draw at least 100000
more votes than did La Toilette, but he
could still lose by 100000.
The position of Senator Norris In
Iowa Is that of the titular head of the
liberal farm group in the Senate. Sen

In the opinion of political observers the

doubt. However. Republican leaders
claim they will make clean sweep and
that their nominee for governor will be

lawyer and head of the Smith for -Presi-

the $4,000 mark and that, every club
member on election day will be an en-
thusiastic booster for Smith and will
assist in getting out the Smith vote.
