CURTIS URGES
PARTY VOTES
Support Being Given
State Candidates
By Senator

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 1o.-tR-
Senator Charles Curtis, republican
vice presidential nominee, is hewing
to his long-standing slogan Of "the
straight republican ticket" as he cam
paigns through the interstate polit-
ical zones of the northwest where
fractional strife in state politics looms
as a threatening influence on the
national contest.
Yesterday at Superior, Wis. he en-
dorsed Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette,
republican senatorial nominee, and
last night in Duluth gave his word
for Arthur E. Nelson, regular repub-
lican candidate for the senate in this
state.
LaFollette so far has said nothing
about the Hoover-Curtis ticket. His
faction in Wisconsin has opposed
Walter Kohler, Of the conservative
wing, republican gubernstorial uom-
inee, who is supporting Herbert
Hoober. Curtis also spoke a good
word for Mr.. Kohler.
Senator Shipstead, farmer-labor, is
the opponent of Mr., Nelson, regular
republican in Minnesota.
