REPUBLICANS SURE
OF VERMONT SLATE
But Senator and Two Representa-.
tives Will Poll Less Votes
Than in 1924.
epecial DISPATCH to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BURLINGTON, VT, October 20.-The
voters of Vermont will re-elect Senator
Greene of st. Albans and Represent
atives Brigham of st. Adams and Glib
son Of Brattleboro, all Republicans, No
vember 6, but probably by no such
overwhelming najorities as they re-
ceired when they were last chosen.
Their Democratic opponents are Fred
G. Martin of Bennington for Senator
and jeremiah C.. Durick of Fair Haven
and Harry w Writers of ST. Johnsbury
for Representatives.
Senator Greene will complete his first
term as Senator next March, after
serving for nearly II years in the
House of Representatives. where he was
particularly active in military affairs.
Naturally an eloquent speaker his voice
has not been heard much of late be-
cause OF an injury to his head which
he received soon after taking his seat
as Senator While walking on the
streets OF Washington with Mrs. Greene,
he was struck by bullet supposed to
have been fired in an encounter be-
tween bootleggers and prohibition
agents. This has made 1t impossible
for him to readily express himself, but
he is showing some improvement and
has retained the affection of his con-
stituents to such an extent that he
had no Republican opposition at the
primary last month.
Representative Brigham is now serv-
ing his second term and Representative
Gibson his third term. The normal Re-
publican majority in both congressional
districts Is about 10000, but six years
ago 1t was cut to 1888 in the first
Representative Brisham'so district,
80
an energetic campaign on the pro-
hibition question The proximity OF
that district to the State of New York
and the Democratic enthusiasm for
Gov. smith with the fact that the dis
trict is normally "wetter" than the
east side of the State. will probably re-
duce Mr.. Brigham's majority consloer-
ably. from what he received two yea years
ago. W. d. oA I''

HARTFORD. Conn. October 20
Republicans here expect 20 repeat their
success of four years ago and two years
ago and elect a solidly Republican
delegation to Congress this year. Most
of the worry was concentrated on the
third congressional district repre-
sented by John G. Tilson. majority
leader of the House. but this has been
dissipated to a great extent by the Bit
terness epgendered among Democrats
In the district as the result of fight
in the New Haven convention to select
delegates to the convention to nominate
a congressional candidate Next to the
third district. the fifth. which was
carried by P B. O'Sullivan. Democrat,
in 1922, has caused most concern. but
Republican leaders now profess conf
dence in the reelection of Represent
ative Glvnn.
The Democrats claim sure victory
for all their candidates. but at this time
appear to have at best but slim chances
in two of five districts.

knowledge any cause for worry. Her.

ton 10y capturing the New Haven City
convention, which elects As of the III
delegates to the district convention.
His opponent was ex-State Senator

The New Haven convention was won
for Mosely by jockeying of delegates,
ending with a walkout of the Tone
delegates and a prediction by them
that the procedure meant 1900 votes
for -Tilson. The breach between the
factions has not been healed
Tilson, as head OF the Eastern
Speakers Bureau, has not done much

FARGO, N. OAK, October 20.-While
the Hoover-Curtis campaign managers
representing both the Non-Partisan
League and independent Republican
factions, are claiming North Dakota for
the Republican nominees, 1t is more ap-
parent than ever that 1t is too early to
assign the State definitely to one camp
or the other.
week ago this State appeared pretty
much Hoover.s but reports from several
sections, notably the Western district,
indicate a gain in Smith sentiment A
survey of several of the important
towns in the Northwest corner shows
much more Democratic strength than
observers believed existed and Repub-
lican campaign managers have started
an intensive drive in every precinct In
that section.
