VOTES IN ILLINOIS
Heavy Registration Expected
to Count in Hoover's
Favor on Nov. s.
Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special DISPATCH to The Star.
CHICAGO. H.. October 13.-Three
million votes will be cast in the Novem-
Der election in Illinois it was predicted
| here today. setting new record for
this State.
The prediction was based on the
record-breaking registration in Chicago
during the week when 100000 voters
added their names to polling books
for grand total Of l,400000. This
Is An increase Of 80 per cent over 1924
Both OF the major political parties
are claiming an advantage as result
OF the huge registration, but unbiased
political dopesters contend that the
Republicans will be given the greater
advantage.
Many Women Registering.
One reason for this is that almost
half OF the registered voters are women
VINO. In the opinion OF the prophets,
are certain to vote for Hoover rather
than Smith because of the prohibition
stand Of the two candidates If for
no other reason.
Four years ago there were $4,000
votes cast in the State for Coolidge,
Davis and La Toilette. At that time
Coolidge carried Illinois by plurality
OF S67, 346. getting 1894 per cent OF
the total vote.

10 Days.

FARGO, N. Oak. October l3.-North
Dakota has shown swing 10 Hoover
in the last 10 days. Surveys Of sew
eral Of the important counties Of the
State show an increase in Republican
sentiment. and experienced political OBJ
servers declare ID is indicative of the
outcome on November g.
It is too early, however. to say posi-
lively that the State will GO tn Hoo
yer, despite the change of sentiment.
III the western part of the State, and
such cities as Grand Forks, Bismarck,
Minot and Fargo show an unprece-
dented Democratic following. In these
towns many persons normally Republi-
can are openly espousing his cause at
this time. and If they continue to do
so on election day, the Republican
strength in the first congressional dis
trict. counted on to carry Hoover over,
will be greatly reduced.
Three Districts Surveyed.
Counties in ell three congressional
districts were made the subject Of sur
veyS this week In the FIRST district.
SbreLcnlng along Inc eastern part or
the State. there was very niticable
Hoover trend Reasons advanced for
this were the Democratic tariff record
and Smiths failure to make a definite
promise on farm relief. Grand Forks
and Fargo, the two largest cities in
the State, are both in this district.
The second district also showed a Hoo
yer movement. but not so noticably.
The third district. always strong Nom
Partisan League territory. is still pretty
much Smith.
10 Days More Needed.
II will take another 10 days before
sentiment has crystallized one way or
the other, though many b2lieve the
Smith strength reached its peak lust
before he visited the State The Demo-
cratic speaking campaign is just getting
under way. fact which has not been
particularly helpful The organization
was slow getting started and has been
slow getting up steam. This may have
had something to do with the change
| in sentiment during the past week.

MONTGOMERY. Ala. October l3.--
Political activity in Alabama the past
week was marked by increased attacks
by both of the opposing parties. Both
sides have brought in orators from the
outside and the next three weeks will
witness such fight as he's never been
seen in this State, political prognostica-
Aors proclaim.
Senator Carswsy OF Arkansas spoke
III Selma in the interest of the Demo-
Straton. pastor of Calvary Baptist
Church Of New York. has delivered
three speeches in the State. one at
Birmingham. one at Montgomery and
On at Selma.
The language used by DR.. Straton In
attacking Gov. Smith brought resolu-
lions of vigorous protest from the Ala
hama Women's League for White ST.
premacy. This protest was contained
IN resolutions adopted following the adj
dress in Birmingham.
Another speaker, who has been car
rying the fight against the Democratic
nominee tn the people from the stump
Is J. Thomas Heflin. senior Senator
from Alabama. Mr. Hefiin hasn't yet
declared himself for Hoover, but his
speaking dates have been made In
eoTne instances under the auspices Of
The Republican committee, it Is
charged.
The campaign has been marked thus
far by more pastors taking the stump
than has been the case in any previous
campaign in the history of the State
Just what effect the intensified cam
paign has produced is the unsolved
problem end one which will not be
solved until the ballots are counted on
November g. That heavy inroads have
been made into Democratic ranks no
leader will deny. That these incursions
will place Alabama in the Republican
column no supporter of the ticket
headed by Alfred E. Smith will admit
Democratic leaders from practically
every nook and corner of the State
gathered here Thursday for a confer
ence and plans were mapped out for
the final drive to victory.

BOISE. Idaho. October l3.-The
much disputed claim that the rank
and file of the Progressive party in
Idaho is going to support Herbert
Hoover seems to b. cinched with the
statement given out officially by Ray
McKaig. chairman of the Republican
State central committee. McKaig
recognized as the partys leader and
organizer. 1t is taken for granted that
he speaks with authority McKaig has
spoken, and he had declared uneauivo-
cally for Herbert Hoover And this Is
what he said in part:
The following members of the Pro-
rressive State executive committee are
2 unit in supporting Mr.. Hoover in this
campaign Senator Frank Poage Of
Canyon County and editor of the Free
Press; T. B. Bailey of Buhl, master of
the Bull grange: Senator J. Loe Reed
OF Emmett, w. W. Russell Of Eagle,
one Of the original founders of the
Progressive party; Senator George Bar
rett of Wendell.
They cannot support Gov. Smith be-
cause of his wet stand and his close
connection with Tammany OF New
York, his Endorsement of the Under
wood Democratic tariff bill which de-
stroys the protection on Idaho farm
products, and his lack Of understanding
Of irrigation and other Western prob
lens.
In fact. so many of our Progressive
ieaders are believers in the dry law
that I predict now that Mr.. Hoover
will carry Idaho by at least $4,000" =

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
RALEIGH. N. c.. october i3.-Gov.
Smith undoubtedly gained votes by his
trip through the State on Thursday.
The exact effect probably will await the
counting Of the ballots. but the entiu-
siasm Of the crowds. the aggregate Of
which Is estimated all the way from
200. 900 to 100000. undoubtedly exceed
ed the expectations Of the most rabid
Smith followers
The psychological result Is that the
Democratic leaders for the hrst time
IN this campaign would welcome an
election today. Predictions heretofore
have been sanguine enough but they
have always been coupled with the
phrase. by the time Of the election. ~
Personal Impression Noted.
Gov Smith spoke only in Raleigh,
an informal expression Of appreciation
which he delivered unexpectedly. But
his personality made an appeal at
Charlotte and Greensboro. where he
stopped long enough for street parades,
and at the four rear platform stops In
the State and at numerous other
points where the train slowed down to
virtual halt and the nominee shook
hands with large numbers.
Mrs. Smith. who. with her husband.
was formally presented by Josephus
Daniels a. Raleigh came In for her full
share of favorable comment. But not
all of the developments OF the week
have favored the Democratic side. Last
night Senator r. M Simmons. the most
important factor in the anti-Smith
movement. made his first platform
appearance at his home In New Bern
speaking more than an hour to a huge
crowd which was also addressed by
Frank McNinch Of Charlotte. chairman
Of the anti-Smith forces in the State.
Governors Talk Factor.
There has also been some fear In the
Democratic camp as the result OF
speech Wednesday night by Gov. w
Mclean which, while dry in its tenor
contained the statement that proiibi-
ton enforcement in North Carolina has
been a costly farce.
The Ku Klux Khan has entered tbs
campaign openly and Grand Dragon
Amos Duncan has sent out frantic con-
f1dential appeals for financial aid which
have found their way into print. Tht
Republican party will fire It's first bic
guns OF the campaign next week wher
! Senators Curtis and Borah visit the

NEWARK. N. j., October l3.-The
Republican campaign in New Jersey
was hurt materially this week by the
death Of Mayor Thomas l.. Raymond
Of Newark Mr.. Raymond. a liberal.
and Republican leader of the largest
city In the State. was counted on to
hold the wet Republican vote In New
ark in line for Hoover. An hour after
his death a telegram arrived at his
home asking him to visit Mr.. Hoover
this week in Washington.
It is in such places as Newark the
Hoover campaign must be strengthen
ed. for the Democrats are counting
heavily on Smiths support in the cities
to Offset the Hoover vote in the rural
sections
The death. Of Mayor Raymond also
injured the chances of the Republican
ticket in the State. for the interest
of local political figures and their sup
porters now is entirely in the scramble
for the highly important position Mr.
Raymond held in Newark. The city
commission is left deadlocked, two
Democrats and two Republicans. and
for the next 80 days the city's interest
will be largely in the deals and dicker-
ing over the division of the duties and

1t is predicted that Smith will have
hard shedding in the county despite the
reaSsuring statements OF Democratic
leaders that he will carry it and get
an even break downstate. Most of
the political observers believe that he
will have to carry the county by 900
600 and 100000 votes if he hopes to
win the State, and this, they believe,
he cannot do.
Mayor Walker to Speak
The Democrats opened their cam
paign on a national scale during the
week with Gov. Albert c. Ritchie of
Maryland as the headliner. He spoke
to several thousands at an armory on
the west side of town Democratic
leaders expect to follow him with Mayor
