 Over in the Green Forest hunter clothed all in brown came nimbly down the laughing Brook. Of course. the Laughing Brook was frozen. for 1t was winter. Against the white of the snow that brown coat seemed hrowner. than ever A nimble little fellow was this brown-coated hunter. Can you gueas who it was. It was Billy Mink. Of course, it was Billy Mink.
 Billy sat down on big snow -cov: cred rock to do little thinking. Let me see," said Billy. T wonder what would like to eat now. I'm tired of fish. Besides. fish are not 50 easy to get these days. I'd like . little fresh meat. Yes, sir. I'd like little fresh meat. I think a little fresh meat would do me good. I'm quite sure 1t would. need change. Everybody needs a change once in a while. Now, I wonder where I could get . meal of good, fresh meat. I'd like . wood mouse. mean I'd like two or three wood mice. One mouse isn't much. A young muskrat would be . lot better-that it, there would be a lot more of him. I wouldn't mind q rabbit. Of course. a grouse would taste good, too. can't seem to make up my mind just what to so looking for. I guess I'll just take a little trot around in the woods and see if can find some tracks"
 Billy Mink doesn't sit long at q time. No sooner had he made up his mind what he would do than he was off. bounding along through the Green Forest and using those keen little eyes of his for all they were worth. There isn't much that Billy misses. He is one of the sInartest. slyest, quickest -witted hunters of whom l know.
 Presently Billy came 10 somo tracks in the snow. He stopped and looked at them. He did more than look at tIlcm-he smelled of them.

Senator Shipstead declared himself

BY far the most notable instance of

Meanwhile. little has been done dur

MONTGOMERY. Ala. September 90
Democrats of Alabama have taken
the offensive in a determined manner
during the past few days. Following
the purging of the State committee by
expulsion of two members who are
openly eSpousing the cause OF the Re-
publican nominee, various county Dem
ocratic executive committees have call
ed meetings to consider plans fol
eliminating all party officials who have
not shown the organization the cour-
tesy to resign.
Speaking engagements such as have
never been seen in this State during
a presidential campaign mark the activ-
ity of both Democratic and Republican
forces. One or two verbal clashes have
occurred on the stump between men OF
the old school and newly recruited Re.
publican supporters. Efforts have beer
made TO book other joint discussions.
Graves Is Silent.
In the Democratic ranks Gov Bibt
Graves remains silent while a large
number of his appointees are actively
working for Herbert Hoover. Senator
Black has announced publicly that he
will support the ticket and his friends
are urging him to take the stump. but
like Gov. Graves, he remains silent
though he is expected to become active
carly in October. Senator Heflin spoke
at Montgomery and Opelika recently
and on each occasion voiced his bitter
opposition to Gov. AL Smith and his
determination to refrain from voting
for the New Yorker. but refused to
commit himself for Herbert Hoover.
Representative Hill of the second
Alabama district is waging an active
speaking campaign for the entire ticket
and proving himself an unusually at
tractive orator as we'll as good advo-
cate of the Democratic cause. In the
first district John McDuffie is speaking
from three to five times week for the
ticket. The other eight Representatives
are also making appeals to the Demo
cratic voters to stand by the ticket.
AS the fight progresses. 1t becomes
more and more apparent that the basis
for practically all OBJECTIONS from the
Democratic party In Alabama Is the
religious faith of the nominee-only
about 2 or per cent of the pop
fact that Gov. Smith is communicate

Attacked as Wet.
The minds of many voters were
poisoned against Gov. Smith before the
national convention and Immediately
after the nomination was made cards
were sent out by the w. C. T. u. asking
women to sign a pledge not to vote for
a wet. 1t is charged that word was sent
into every Klavern by Ku Klux leaders
to fight Smith either by voting for
Hoover or staying away from the polls.
Another effective method of warfare
was the distribution of thousands of
little leaflets devoid of indication as
to from what source they came, bearing
the bogus knights of Columbus oath.
While Democratic leaders are begin
ming to see some effects of recent work,
1t is known that the fight is not yet
won in Alabama. ATTICUS MULLIN.

Smiths Address in Denver Seen
in Nature Of Anti.
Climax.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


DENVER, Colo. September 29.-Hav-
ing seen and heard the Democratic
presidential candidate and the Repub-
lican vice presidential nominee over the
last week end, Colorado voters now are
presumably getting down to the serious
business of making up their minds
which ticket they will vote for Novem-
Der s, and party leaders are trying to
appraise with some degree of accuracy
the results of the flood of oratory that
was loosed and the reams of newspaper
space that were used up incidental to
the saturnalia of politics.
The consensus at this writing appears
to be that Senator Curtis helped the
Republican cause hereaboutS more than
Gov. Smith helped the Democratic
cause. The welcome accorded Gov
Smith was almost fanatical In its in
tensity. and the crowd he addressed at
the Municipal Auditorium Saturday
night was larger by several thousand
persons than the audience which greet
ed Senator Curtis in the same building
Monday night.
But Gov. Smiths talk on water power
was somewhat over the heads of large
portion Of his audience and was looked
upon as in the nature of an anti-cli-
max, coming on the heels of his talks
on prohibition and religion at Omaha
and Oklahoma City.
Senator Curtis came here without the
flare of trumpetS that attended Gov.
Smiths arrival and was In the city
only hours as against "Al's" "a, but
his talk seemed to make a more pro-
found impression on his audience, and
he had the added advantage of knowing
what Smith talked about here and the

many years, and which make strongly
Republican States in the North, East
and some parts of the West look
doubtful. AS the campaign appears
today it would seem that the Demo-
Gratis had a tremendous task ahead of
them to elect GOV Smith. The tables
published today show how a Demo-
cratic victory may be achieved, But at
the same time it indicates that the
chances of the Republican candidate
at present are the brighter What the
five weeks campaign will bring forth
remains to be seen.
No one can yet foreteH exactly how
the cross currents will affect some of
the States. No one can say certainly
some fortuitous twist may not be given
at the eleventh. hour which will bring
victory to one party and disaster to the
other. The publication yesterday of a
letter alleged to have been signed by
Mrs. M. M. Caldwell. Republican ma
tional committeewoman for Virginia,
raising the issue of "Romanism'
against Gov. Smith, caused much ex-
element in both Republican and Demo-
cratic ranks The Democrats were in

publican, was running against Grover
Cleveland, Democrat, and Rev. DR..
Burchard, introducing a committee

align the Democrats with rum,
Romanism and rebellion"
Seen as Hurting Blaine.
This incident, coming shortly before
election day, is credited with having
swung votes away from Blaine and to
Cleveland in pivotal States and to have
brought about the defeat of the Re-
publican candidate.
The campaign this year presents only
two jor candidates for the presidency,
Smith and Hoover Four years ago,
President Coolidge. John w. Davis,
Democrat. and the late Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin, running as an
Independent Progressive, fought it out
at the polls, and 16 years ago, the late
President Woodrow Wilson, Chief Justice
Taft and the late Col Theodore Roose-
/ welt, struggled for the presidency. There
! is no chance this year that the election
| might be thrown into the House, owing
to the failure of one of the candidates to
obtain a majority of the electoral COL
| lege. Four years ago, the fact that the
House might have been called upon to
pick a President was used as an argu-
ment by the Republicans in favor OF the
election of President Coolidge.

BALTIMORE, September 29.-The
week In Maryland politics again was
marked by an outbreak of the fac.
tlonal bitterness which has been burn
ing hercely among the Democrats Of
Baltimore. A huge registration of WON
en- on the first of two supplemental
registration days in the city has
caused Democratic leaders anxiety.
That the factional discord which
broke out early in the Summer among
Baltimore Democrats was not complete
ly buried was evidenced this week by
a clash between Charles E. Bichy
chairman Of the city committee. and
Carvllle D. Benson, chairman of the
Democratic advisory committee. which
Is managing the campaign in this
county. 1t took the form of a face-to-
face encounter.
Mr.. Bichy charged that Mr.. Benson
was ignoring" him. It seems that
when the time came for distribution
OF money to ward executives to pay fol-
getting voters to register, Mr.. Benson
made checks payable to each individual
and sent them direct.
Called Unprecedented.
The city chairman objected that this
was depriving him of one of his prerog-
atives and that the action of going
around him in dealing with the ward
executives was unprecedented Mr.. Ben
son In turn asserted that Mr. Bichy had
failed to cooperate with the campaign
committee.
The next day the open rupture was
Smoothed over by the suggestion that
Mr.. Bichy appoint a committee to
handle the campaign in the city and
1t was agreed that the advisory COM
mittee would consult with this COM
mittee on all matters of Importance.
The committee was appointed by Mr..
Bichy and besides himself. included
four Democrats, representatives of both
factions.

The situation Is worrying Democratic
leaders, whose hearts are set on carry
ing Maryland for Gov Smith. Even
though the Jackson Bichy faction re-
harmony always has q dulling effect
on political campaigns and in a State
where 1t appears the result will be close
this discord may be disastrous from a
Democratic viewpoint.
Although both parties here we're put
ting forth supreme efferts to increase
their registration lists, no person
imagined that 5l,9l5 persons would
register on the first supplemental day
for that purpose. The Democrats put
on 25,924 of the total and the Repub-
licans 2l,910. Thus the Democratic
majority in Baltimore was increased
4,0l4.
If that were the whole picture 1t
would be the Republicans who would be
gloomy instead of the Democrats. But
that total included 29.425 woman voters,

franchise that they have exceeded the
number of men registering on any given

CASPER, Wyo, September 2e.-Al
Smith has made his circle of the West
through Wyoming. He was cordially
received in this State, given the glad
hand. as it were, by his own clan as
we'll as by Hoover Republicans and
Hoover Democrats
However, 1t Is improbable that Smiths
visit has changed more than a handful
OF votes in his favor. Wyoming, on
account of the tariff first, the liquor
question second, is essentially Republi-
can. Even the battle which Senator
Kendrick, stalwart champion of De-
mocracy's cause, is waging in his CAM
paign for reelection appears to fail
short of what Democrats had hoped
would turn the tide for Smith.
Kendrick is one of the most popular
men in wyoming. but he admittedly
depends upon Republican votes for re-
election.
Farmers in Wyoming apparently feel
that they would rather trust Republic
can. tariff than Tammany Democra:
to continue the era of agricultural pros
perity which has just dawned for this
region. Charles E. Winter, lone
wyoming Republican who is opposing
Kendrick for the Senate, is likewise a
veteran campaigner

DES MONIES. Iowa. September 90
Republicans in Iowa are sitting tight,
content with the aSsurance-as certain
as predictions can be-that Herbert
Hoover will carry this State in Nc
vember
Results Of straw votes and the re-
ports of Republican scouts agree IN
pointing to an ultimate Hoover victory
IN spite of the popularity of Smith
with the Farmers Union and. presum.
ably, in the urban districts. 1t is prob.
able that Smith will carry several coun-
ties and it is even possible that he
will carry as much as an entire district,
but not likely
The action of Senator Norris in APP
proving Smiths stand on both the
farm problems and water power is
certain to be reflected in the final
Iowa count. There is an appreciate
body of Iowa voters who have followed
Senator Brookhart in the past but have
refused to follow him into the Hoover
camp this year. This group is sure TO
be influenced by Norris when Brook
hart is held up as the cream of the
Senate's Liberals.
The action Of the Farmers Union In
convention here last week. IN prac-
tically indorsing Smith. assures the
Democratic candidate of somewhere
between $4,000 and $4,000 votes.
