Pattangall Follows Wife in Re.

Special Dispatch to The star.

AUGUSTA, Me, August 4.-Follow-
ing the statement issued last week by
AIRS. Gertrude M. Pattangan of this
city, for several years member of the
Democratic national committee from
Maine, that she could not support the
Democratic ticket because of the wet
ness Of Gov. Alfred E. Smith,
came the statement this week from
Justice William r. Pattahgall husband
of Mrs. Pattangall. announcing his in
tention to vote for the Republican
candidates in State and Nation.
Justice Pattangall was for s>vor0'
years the leader of the Maine Demo-
cracy. served three times as mayor of
Waterville. four times in the lower
branch of the Legislature and was
attorney general on the two occasions
when his party was in power in this
State, in 1911 and 1912 and in 1915
and 1916.
Two woman members of the Demo-
cratic State committee, Mrs Bertha n
Campbell of Dover Foxcroft and Mrs
Ogla N. Gross of Pittsfield, have sent
their designations to E. c. Moran OF
Rockland. the chairman Of the COM
mittee. Both declared opposition to

OREGON LIBERALS

Progressives Who Supported
La Toilette Have Turned to
Democratic Candidate.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PORTLAND, Greg. August 4.--Lead-
ers of the Oregon Progressive League
who handled the campaign OF the late
Robert NJ. La Toilette for President
four years ago are urging the 10000
voters in oregon who cast their ballots
for La Toilette to support Alfred E.
Smith.
The officials of the league fought
Calvin Coolidge in 1924 and put IN a
spectacular campaign. These officers
have been identified with the Rspun-
lican party, but followed La Toilette,
and they are still of the reservation.
The reason given why the 10000
who voted for Lii Toilette should not
vote for Herbert Hoover is because
Hoover has promised to carry on the
Coolidge policies which, announce the
league officers in a formal statement.
have resulted in nothing but bank
ruptcy and hard times for the farmer,
wage Garner and small business man.
Close Race Possible.
In the campaign Of 1924 the La
Toilette strength came from organized
labor and the farm in Oregon. IF this
anti-Coolidge vote of four years ago
can be swung over to the Democratic
ticket in November, Plus the Democratic
strength, there will be a close race IN
Oregon between Hoover and Smith.
Mr. Coolidge carried Oregon against La
Toilette and Davis. but at that time
thousands of Democrats deserted Davis
and voted for Coolidge because of fear
of La Toilette. Herbert Hoover's brief
visit to Oregon, the State where he
passed his early boyhood ana received
his elementary education, was unfor-
tunate. He took the position that he is
a private citizen and will not be a cam
didate until his speech of acceptance
August II.
Following this policy be avoided pub
liz meetings, passed through towns
without pausing to meet delegations of
welcome and finally abandoned his fish,

because cameramen asked him to pose.
The impression left By this attitude and
conduct was unfavorable.
Democrats Organizing.
On his visit to Oregon Hoover was
completely surrounded by trustees of
Stanford University, who served as a
buffer between the candidate and the
public.
The Democrats are organizing their
State committee and will 90 into action

have some hope of Hoover gains, but no
assurance that the party can wrest Mis-

Heretofore Senator Harrison has

his speech for Smith in his own home
State at this time is significant of the
present dissatisfaction displayed, espe-
cially by part of the Baptist clergy.
Here and there in a Baptist pulpit a
