''FA|R CO-ED" IS
 A HILARIOUS FILM

It Isn't very often that an audience gets more than it bargains for at a moving picture showing.
 Audiences will view bad pictures and enter the theatre next time with whole load sof optimism that is sometimes dispelled and sometimes realized.
 "The Fair Co-ed", which opens at the Liberty theatre, is the sort of film that makes one optomistic for pie lures. In fact, it gives the picturego- CT much more than he can rightfully hope to see in one film production.
 It shows the charming Marion Davis at her best-and that's some best!
 It is a screen vehicle, magnificently handled from directorial angle and with cast of players that works hard and successfully to give every ounce of their support to the star.
 Marion has the role of an American coed and she looks the part as she puts it over in most convincing manner.

IOWA REPUBLICANS
PUT ON DEFENSIVE
Smiths Omaha Speech Has
Widespread Effect
in State.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DES MONIES, Iowa, September "a
Interest in national politics took
turn upward in Iowa during the last
week with Gov Smith speaking Tues
day at Omaha and Senator Curtis
speaking Wednesday at Spencer IN
northwestern Iowa.
The unqualified Endorsement which
Smith offered the equalization fee or
the principle of opposing the cost OF
marketing the SURPRISES upon the
commodity benefited definitely put
Republicans on the defensive for the
first time in the campaign.
At Spencer, where Senator Curtis
attacked Smith for disappearing
the part played by the Republican
party in farm relief during the last
eight vars, Gov. John Hammill as
sumed the defensive in introducing
Curtis.
The governor, who has led the swing
to Hoover in the State, refused to &C
cept Smiths Omaha statement as a
straightforward Endorsement of the
equalization fee principle and challeng-
ed Smith to make his Endorsement
more specific.
In Des Moines, where the Iowa
Farmers Union began Wednesday its
two-day convention, Henry A. Wallace,
editor of Wallace's Farmer. told the
delegates that the farmer would best
serve his own ends by voting for Smith
because of his favorable attitude toward
the equalization fee, which he con-
trasted with Hoover's disapproval of the
fee, a subsidy or tariff debenture.
1t is still too early to predict what eff
feet Smiths Endorsement of the fee will
have on the farm vote in Iowa, Re-
publican leaders being unanimous in
claiming that swing to Hoover has
but begun. N. B. REG1STER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


PHOENIX, Ariz., September o.
Pending the converting here Monday of
both Democratic and Republican State
committees to perfect their representa-
tive organizations. to be followed i'm
mediately by meetings Of party coun-
ellis. as approved by law, at which
party platforms must be adopted, lead
ers of both parties devoted the past
week to preliminary platform work.
The outline of the Democrats platform
indicates strong Endorsement of the
candidacy of Smith for President, and
also a plank denouncing the Swing
johnson measure as inimical to the
interests of Arizona in the Colorado
River and the usual praise of past
State administrations of Gov. George
w. P. Hunt, who is seeking reelection
for the seventh time.
Regarding the Swing johnson bill,
the Republican platform is likely to be
similar to that of the Democrats, since
opposition to this measure Is the only
issue upon which majorities of both
parties seem agreed Smith for PreSi-
dent stock took a slight rise in the
political market here during the week
when the State Federation Of Labor,
acting through its subsidiary, the Nom
Partisan Political League, Endorsed him.
This was offset in some degree by re-
newed attacks from clerical quarters
upon Smiths prohibition attitude and
the injection into the campaign of the
religious question, which was raised
during the recent State primaries by
the anonymous distribution of PAM
phlets attacking all Catholic and Nor
mon candidates.

Demand that the Fellowship Forum,

at a meeting of the Smith Robinson
Club at Democratic headquarters, 16
Jackson place, Friday night.
John B. ColpoyS, chairman Of the

played copies of the paper. declaring
that it is filled weekly with reading
matter and cartoons of vile and sour

Representative Steagall Of Alabama
prohibitionist, declared he favored
Smith as against Hoover because he
believes Smith would make an earnest
effort to enforce the dry laws, whereas,
he said, it has never been made plain
where Hoover stands on the prohibition
question. Representative Steagall Bit
terly attacked the Republican admins
tration for what he described as its
failure to enforce prohibition and other
laws.

ROUSES
SOUTH CAROL|N|ANS
Democrats Say Smith Will
Receive at Least 100,-
900 Votes.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

COLUMBIA, S. c., September %. =
The visit of Senator Robinson to South
Carolina has awakened the Democrats
of this State from lethargy and has
stirred them to make an active cam
paign for the national Democratic NOM
inees. Smith Robinson clubs are be-
ing organized and speeches are being
made by enthusiastic supporters. The
result is that predictions are now being
made that Gov. Smith will receive
more votes in the general election in
South Carolina than did Woodrow
Wilson in 1916
wilson's vote then was 81 ,846, against
1850 for Hughes. In 1924 John w.
Davis received 49,008 and Coolidge
1923. Gov. Smith is likely to receive
100000 or more. Mr.. Hoover may re-
ceive 10000, hardly more.
The vote in the Democratic pri-
maries, which means the election. is
generally about 100000. The Republic
ans have no primary.
The opposition to Gov. Smith, which
has become more and more vocal, but
never formidable, has aroused the sup
porterS of Gov. Smith, and the address
of Senator Robinson put them in mo-
ton.
Some reaction to this is seen in the
fact that what was at first called the
Hoover Democratic organization has
changed its name to Anti-Smith. And
this faction has repelled advances by
the Republican organization, and an
nounceS that it will hold convention
in october and will then put in the
field an electoral ticket Of its own.
The activity of the Republican party
so far has been confined to confer
ences held by its leader in this State,
Joseph w. Tolbert, with Democrats who
are in favor of Mr. Hoover. Albert e.
Hill of Spartanburg, cyclops OF the Ku
Klux Khan in this State, and other
Hoover advocates held conference in
this city last week, but no statement
was made in respect to the conference.
The drawing away from the Repub-
icans of the organized Anti-Smith
Democrats, however, would indicate
that the Republicans can hope for
little comfort from the disaffection in
the Democratic ranks.

DRY ISSUE ABSORBS
WASHINGTON STATE
But HooVer-Curtis Ticket Is
Still in Fr0nt-WetS
Win Primary.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, September o.
An analysis of the recent primary cleo
ton vote in this State finds that the wet
and dry issue promises to be of deeper
importance than the old-line Republican
leaders have been inclined to give it.
Candidates for party honors, Demo-
cratic and Republicans, refused indorse-
ment by the Anti-Saloon League, virtu-
ally swamped the league-indorsed can
didates. AS a result, wet candidates
were nominated.
The combined wet vote in each party
was fully 30 per cent higher than the
combined dry vote, and this fact Is
causing some uneasiness among Repub-
lican leaders who fear the Democratic
drive for votes under a plea that the
election of Smith means modification of
the Volstead act The low vote, less
than Sc per cent of those registered par
ticipating at the polls in the rural Sec
tons, Is indicative of an alarming lack
of interest on the eve of the general
campaign.
The denomination of Gov. Hartley has
started a boiling of Republican news
papers and leaders, who are publicly
announcing their intention of support
ing the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor but going down the line for the
rest of the Republican ticket.
There is little question but that the
Hoover Curtis ticket is we'll out in
front in the presidential campaign, with
the Democrats having only fighting
chance. In the senatorial race, Senator
Dill and Kenneth Macintosh, Repub-
lican nominee, are staging close race,
with the Republican having shade the
best of it. All four Republican Repre-
sentatives are certain of reelection, with
an even break in the fifth district, now
represented by Democrat. With the
exception of the governorship, the Re-
publican State ticket is safe at this time,
although, if the wet and dry fight be-
comes more open, there is a possibility
of general upset from top to bottom.
This is largely due to the general grow
ing resentment against demands being
made upon candidates for public office
to pledge themselves to programs spon-
sored by dry organizations. backed by
threats of reprisals if nominees do not
subscribe to proposed legislation and
programs.

LOS ANGELES, September 25.-
State conventions Of the Republican,
Democratic, prohibition and Socialist
parties held here this week formally

The Republicans demonstrated solid

have developed relate for the most part
to maneuvers calculated to effect the

In contrast to the representative
character of the Republican crganiza-

Democratic convention, which was at
tended almost exclusively by those
identified with the Smith campaign
prior to the California presidential
primaries last May. The absence OF

California indicates that this State will

The relative strength thus far shown
by two major parties is heralded by
Republicans as ample assurance that

JACKSON, Miss, September o.
War to the knife has been declared be-
tween the two factions of Democrats
in national politics and the clerical-Ku
Klux element has bolted the party, or
ganized as Hoover Democrats and
planned State headquarters from which
to direct stump speaking campaign.
The first gun in the Democratic revo-
luton was the skirmish In Franklin
County when a small group Of the psrty
committee a few weeks ago condemned
Smith and Endorsed Hoover. Absent
members charged trickery and in turn
repudiated the alleged minority &C
ton" This week the fight reached
State headquarters and M. r. Carpen-
ter, rebellious leader, was read out OF
the party and stricken from the COM
mittee rolls at political drumhead
court-martial presided over by Char
man Noel White of the Mississippi
committee. Carpenter demanded the
right to voice his defense. He was de-
MED a word. His committee plaLe has
been filled.
Hold War Council.
Closely following this, in which 1t was
charged that Carpenter had twice
visited Washington and had accepted
Hoover money and that the Democratic
autocracy had dealt ruthlessly with
him, the revolutionists held council
of war and chose L. D. Gates as tenn
porary commander of the forces and
named Morgan Jones Of Laurel as field
marshal for the political war. Gates.
a Baptist minister, is we'll remembered
in this State as all ardent Ku Klu%

In the meantime, regular Democrats
are supporting Smith, have named z.
M Lane as army commander and have
opened headquarters in Jackson to rout
the boilers, get out the old vote and
to wage a war for white supremacy at

In Republican ranks, it is a bitter
