Special DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-. September o.
The announcement that Gov. Alfred E
Smith would take swing through
western Missouri the middle of Octo-
Der, stopping for a speech at Sedalia.
was joyously received by the rural DEM
ocratic leaders. Smiths previous
itinerary in Missouri included only st.
Louis. His only speech in Missouri
now will be at Sedalia.
The rural Democratic leaders in the
last few weeks have become somewhat
alarmed at reports of the out-State
detection from Smith. The State
leaders of the party had been taking
more or less for granted the New York
Governor would carry Missouri, being
apparently assured of a big wet Re-
publican DETECTION to Smith in St.
Louis.
Hostile to Smith.
Trips by this correspondent the last
few weeks In nearly every part OF west
ern Missouri unquestionably disclosed
a rural hostility to Smith. This de-
Election is spotted, but apparently the
worst in many of the large Democratic
strongholds. Rural Missouri is dry. "
and overwhelmingly Protestant. 1t Is
normally Democratic st. Louis is pre-
ponderately "wet," about 40 per cent
Catholic and normally Republican in
national elections by about 10000 votes.
The vigorous speeches Smith has been
delivering on his present Western tour
is having its effect IN this State. Re-
ports indicate it is causing dry DEM
ocrats inclined to vote for Herbert
Hoover to waver.
The increasing political activity Of
Protestant ministers is causing re-
There is scarcely a rural hamlet of a
few hundred population in the State
thai one or more Protestant ministers
are not delivering sermons on prohibit
ton or making direct attacks on Smith.
Dry Speakers Busy.
The w. C. T. U. and other dry or
CARNATIONS also have speakers busily
engaged denouncing the Democratic
nominee for President. This concerted
campaign against Smith has reached a
point to create sympathy for Smith,
according to reports from rural Mis-
souri,. The Republican leaders are
helpless to stop this. or to cause the
anti-Smith speakers to modify their at
tacks.
The Missouri campaign now is one
between Smith and Hoover. State is
sues are being forgotten. Religion
seems to have more weight with voters
than all the other questions involved
in the campaign.
Missouri's 18 electoral votes now are
in the balance and in the reTt few
weeks may swing either way. If the
rural voters do not turn back. Hoover
has an even chance to carry the State
The Democrats are preparing for a
concerted drive to bring back the coun-
try Democrats into the party fold.

Backs Hoover-Curtis
Ticket.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, September %
This has been the busiest week of the
presidential campaign in Virginia.
Speakers representing the Democrats,
the Hoover Democrats and the Re-
publicans have been heard in nearly
every county and city in the state.
Tons of campaign literature have been
sent out from three State headquarters.
Enthusiasm is at high tide in all the
political camps.
Meeting in Roanoke, the w. c. I. U.
State convention adopted resolutions
formally indorsing Hoover and Curtis
and calling upon the dry" people to
cast their voLes against Smith. Inc
wording of the resolutions is generally
considered to mean that the Organiza-
ton has definitely aligned ITSELF With
the Republican party, perhaps perma-
nently.
On Monday Bishop Cannon, leading
Hoover Democrat or bolter addressed
a large assemblage of Roanoke citizens
in connection With the meeting there
of the State convention of the w. G.
r. U. He was given an ovation. The
Democrats, however. had their turn on
Friday night. when Senator Carter
Glass visited Roanoke and stirred the
regulars there to high pitch of en-
thusiasm.
The Hoover Democrats appear to
be abundantly supplied with funds, and
the opinion Is expressed by Democrats
that much of this money comes from
Republican sources. The Republicans
also are sending. out much campaign
literature and are advertising in the
newspapers, and seem to be we'll fixed
in the matter of finances. Around
Democratic headquarters the talk is
that money is scarce, but the party
leaders have launched a movement to
raise a $25O000 campaign fund from
Virginians.
Bishop Cannon and Senator Glass
appear to be drawing greater crows than
other campaign orators of the State.
but the attendance on all political gath
erings Is large this year and attests
the fact that the people of Virginia are
taking more interest in politics than in
any presidential campaign since that
of 1896. r. L. c. BARRET.

AUSTIN, Tex. September 29.-The
national campaign in Texas. conplicat-
ed by activities of Smith Republicans
and Hoover Democrats. and. said to be
threatening the States remaining il
the solid South, was further muddled
during the past week by claims that
Gov. Dan Moody leader of the dry
Democratic majority of the State had
turned to support the Republican
ticket.
The rumor was denied by Moody
but gave encouragement to the boiling
Democrats who are making a vigorous
campaign in the State and arouSinc
considerable heat in their charges OF
Democratic wetness and their innuen-
does of Democratic Catholic alliance.
Preachers Active.
Protestant preachers OF the State
generally are getting more active in
this campaign than ever before, ana
those so engaged are opposing support
of Gov. Alfred e. Smith Their rank.
were extended during the week by the.
addition of the Rev. George w. Truett
of Dallas, regarded the most influential
pastor In the STATE.
The political charge which deeply
stirred the State that Gov. Moody had
experienced recent change OF heart
from his promise to support the Demo-
cratic nominees had been given weight
by his refusing to make politica!
campaign speech in Amarillo, Tex, on
the ground he was unable to leave his
office for the 500-mile trip to west
Texas. and on his failure to comply
with the invitation OF the natlonat
speakers bureau to make months
speeches for the ticket in doubtful
States. 1t was made in an Austin dis
patch printed in New York newspapers,
and drew a denial from the governor,
after being printed. that he had aban-
doned his purpose Of supporting the
national ticket.
State Row Breaks.
Then a State row developed in
meeting of State nominees called BY
Moody to sign an appeal to the voters
to support the straight ticket.
Neither Moody nor Attorney General
Claude Pollard was satisfied with the
wording of the lengthy appeal drafted
bv the State Democratic campaign
organization for them to sign, though
treasurer Gregory Hatcher insisted
that they subscribe to it fully. The
appeal draft is being rewritten, ana
mas not been signed. nearly week
after It was submitted to the State
nominees
Gov. Moody has not yet taken any
action toward aiding his party's cam
paign in or out of Texas. except to
publicly declare his support OF It:

ALBANY. N. Y. September 29-The
voters of the country are quite accus-
toned TO hearing candidates for high
Official Office claim all sorts of good
things in the way of victory for them
selves before election day. When a
candidate for President, however, makes
& public announcement that he believes
IN opposing candidate will be victorious
1t sounds like story.
This is what happened in New York
this week. However. the fact the canol-
Gate did not claim victory for himself
becomes less of news item when 1t Is
revealed that be is Norman Thomas,
who heads the national ticket of the
Socialist party. and therefore has not,
even in his own remotest Imagination,
a chance for election Herbert Hoover
is the man Mr.. Thomas predicted would
be successful in the present campaign.
Halls Organization.
Mr.. Thomas chief reason for his
representation he gave as the superior
organization of the Republicans After
a three-week speaking tour of the
West, he returned to say that he had
noticed superiority of the organization
everywhere. Furthermore, he declared.
he could find no stampede into the
Smith fold" on the part of progressives.
On both Republican and Democratic
sides. according to Mr. Thomas, he has
found great and unhealthy bigotry."
Political interest in this State last
week was decidedly local. thanks to the
holding of the State conventions OF both
major parties.
The Republicans met yesterday and
today in Syracuse. Monday and Tues
day will see the Democrats gathering
in Rochester.
Move Called Smart.
The nomination of Albert Ottinger to
head the Republican State ticket was
considered decidedly smart politically.
The attorney general is an excellent cam
paigner in his own right. as witness the
fact that he was the only Republican
on the last State ticket to win election.
He has a splendid record for the years
he has been attorney general. with sew
eral campaigns of decidedly popular
appeal, including his fight against
bucket shops and fake stock promoters.

the Republican chieftains that. the
Ottinger name at the head of the State
ticket would be decided bolster to the
Hoover strength in New York. There
was no doubt of the same thing in the
minds of the Democrats either, and as
a result they combed the highways and
hyways to consider every possibility.
Who the Democrats will select is still
a puzzle. 1t is a puzzle, however, which
concededly rests entirely with their
national standard bearer. Gov. Smith,
on his way back to New York from his
Western speaking trip to attend the
convention. Gov Smith will name the
candidate. all agree, with the advice, OF
course, of the State leaders who have
been bordering the question weeks.

HIGHWAY WARMING SIGNS

Twenty states are now erecting
the standardized highway warning
signs recommended by the United
States Bureau of Public Roads.
These signs are so made that even
if the motorist can't read the letter
ing, the shape of the sign will indi-
cate the degree of caution required.
The roadsides of Massachusetts
have many warning signs, and in
many places they are too much mix
ed in with private advertising. If a
driver is warned every twenty-five
feet to buy someone's hot dogs or
patronize a certain lunch room, he
may fail to notice the warning sign
which he should read for the benefit
of his health. The driving public
needs much advice. Such signs
should be erected with some discre-
ton. If put in places where there is
no special danger the motorist is in
clined to think that all such warn
ings are needless.-Salem News.
