MEMPHIS. Tenn. October 6.--Re-
newsd activity by Tennessee Democrats
with corresponding inactivity among the
Republicans, further advanced the Smith
chances in Tennessee during the last
week. The great Republican rally at
Elizabethton in east Tennesses with
Mr. Hoover as the center OF attraction
drew Republicans from every section of
the State: but the Democrats mean

one of the IS counties of the State a
Democratic orator was on the stump.
Senator X. D. McKellar. himself a cam
didate for reelection, led the broadside
with q sharp attack On Mr.. Hoover and
a plea for the traditional Democracy of
the fathers.
Pleas Effect Landed.
Old observers generally agree that
this plea Is the most effective of all In
the South, and the Tennessee Demo-
Gratis have been quick to seize upon It.
They are stressing the point that Il was
the Democratic party. rather than any
of the church organizations. that saved
the South in the days OF reconstruction.
and this appeal Is meeting with good
response.
It Is in the cities. rather than the
rural districts of Tennessee, that the
Hoover strength is concentrated. In
Memphis, for instance, there is strong
sentiment for the Republican nominee
in national elections, though In State
and local elections everything is over
whelmingly Democratic. But in Mem
phis there is a fly in the Republican
ointment. The Lily White wing OF the
Republican party is up in arms because
OF the appointment Of J. S. Shortle.

Mr. Shortle was elected State commit

Hoover's Speech Waited.
The most interesting feature of the
Tennessee situation just now is the re-
action that will follow the Hoover speak
ing today at Elizabethton. Unless he
makes tremendous impression, he will
be unable to stop the very decided trend
to Smith: and even then it is more
likely than not that the trend would be
halted only temporarily. There is q
gradual swing to Smith throughout the
State. and If this swing continues for
the next two weeks Tennessee will no
longer be considered doubtful.

Coal Regions.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARRISBURG, Pa: october Eek
cepting the coal regions and few
isolated counties, the Republican cam
paign leaders now consider the State
alright for unusual majorities for the
Hcover-Curtis ticket
They are concentrating much of their
attention now on congressional fights.
and there also. the center of activity is
the coal counties. Probably the hardest
fights will be in the districts now rep
resented by the two Democratic Con-
srassrnen, the veteran John !. Casey in
the twelfth district End the fiery Everett
Kent in the tairtieth district. Those
districts and the section surrounding
Scranton will probably be the chief
battle-ground for the Republican ticket,
national and State, during the closing
month of the campaign.
Those sections. while often Republic
can, are strongly wet and have huge
numbers of Catholic and foreign voters.
In ether counties where wet sentiment
runs high the Republican organization
usually Is strong and fears because Of
wetness alone are no longer as strong
as they were In the Summer.
Public interest in the presidential
campaign appears to have tapered

Following return of w. L. Mellon. for

committee and nephew of the Secretary
Of the Treasury, the most seasoned
leaders of the Republican organization
met this week and decided on the plans
for the final month of campaigning.
Democratic activity in behalf of Smith
has been less noticeable during the last
two weeks than formerly. The State
headquarters reiterates It's claim thar
Smith will carry the State by 100000
although there has been nothing to
bolster its position.
Although Smith appears to have no
chance Of breaking into the 50 cleo
torial votes here, it is virtually certain
that the size of his popular vote will be
the largest ever accorded a Democratic
presidential candidate.
