HARTFORD, Conn. September L.
The Republicans have reason to be en-
couraged by the figures of the recent
Statewide caucuses at which were chos-
en- delegates to the State convention,
There we're contests In only a few of the
1859 towns but, with nothing at stake
In most of them, the party vote came
out surprisingly well. This Is regarded
as indicating two things,
One Is that the Democrats, who cx-
pect to roll up Smith pluralitieS in
Connecticut cities In November. but
who realize the party's usual weakness
in the small towns. where they are
doing missionary work, have apparent
ly not been able to make serious in
roads on the Republican Small-town
vote, The other Is that the Republic
ans are showing more interest in the
campaign than for many years.
That Connecticut will cast a much
larger vote than In 1924 cannot be
doubted and. with bic vote. Republic

are not SO much of Smith strength as
of Republican apathy. There is now
no reason to expect this apathy. Not
only has the nomination of Gov. Smith
aroused the Democrats To unusual activ-
ity but 1t has caused the Republicans
to feel that they have. after years of
winning IN walk, a worthy foe and
IL has spurred them To unusual energy
Both parties will conduct lively cam
paign, which will be aided by prominent
speakers from outside the State.
Women's political organizations will
play an important part In the cam
paign and. unless there is a marked
change from 1920 and 1924, the
women'S vote will be more helpful to
Republicans than TO Democrats,
While Gov Smiths acceptance ad-
dress has been well received here by
press and public, the same is true of
Hooyers and there is no reason TO be-
lieve that there has been any important
switch from one party to the other
that can be traced TO these declara-
tons OF the candidates,
With both Republican and Demo-

PORTLAND. Greg, September If
Herbert Hoover receives considerable
majority over Alfred z. Smith in
Oregon. il will be due to the women,
Extraordinary interest is being dis
played in the presidential campaign by
women and under the promptings oil
the Republican organization, there Is
now in progress a remarkably heavy
registration of female electors.
Records of registration clerks dis
close that there are more women th.n
men being enrolled Particularly Il
this noticeable in the Republican ranks,
where the women are in excess OF men
In new registrations. II Is on this
fe mine vote that the Republicans de-
pend to offset OBJECTIONS of wet Re-
publicans to the Smith camp.
Prohibition is only a thin veneer nj
the real reason that women are opposed
To Smith The actual motive is re-

powerful in Oregon six years ago but IS

former members OF the organization.
AS is other sections OF the country
ministers are now attacking Smith from
their puipits. while leading Episcopal

Pointed propaganda against Smith
continues to pour into the State. This
Is based on Smiths religious belief. II
Is apparent that vast sum is being
spent by some one or some organiZa

that the Smith sentiment Is holding its

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, September L.
In this year of grace. when political
lines have been drawn along quaint
lines. IL is astonishing to flnd many
fcolored people In Arkansas supporting
Alfred e. Smith for President During
SO years, the colored people In the State
have been led to believe that II they

they will reveal ingratitude for their
emancipation and their previous eondi-
ton OF servitude might be restored.
The colored people did not stop to
analyze these statements but voted
according to orderS-~when permitted to
vote. II did not occur TO them that
some OF the greatest leaders of the
Union cause were Democrats, or that
the South was glad TO be free OF the
incubus of slavery.

speech of our standard bearer. as an
expression OF faith in the ability OF the
American people to control and direct
their own government. is the most pro-
found announcement since the days OF
Thomas Jefferson" That set at rest
rumors that DALEY would cut loose and
wage an independent campaign. which
some of his more timid advisers had
urged.
Albert Stump. Democratic senator
ship nominee, Is waging an individual
campaign. however, in that he Is tax
ing the dry side of the argument while
at the same time attempting to praise
Gov. Smiths administrative record. He
already has incurred the open hostility
of some of the more rabid Smith fol-
lowers. With both Stump and Robin
son, however. standing as drys there
is not much choice for the vets.
Leslie Slow to Start.
Republican worries are multiplying
over the failure OF Harry G. Leslie. gov
ernorship nominee, to get his cam
paign off to proper start. Leslie.
they fear, is holding back the Hoover
movement and there are indications
that the Hoover people, who already
have authorized a separate organiza
ton we're actuated in part by desire
to cut loose from Leslie.
What was hailed as an important APP
pointment was made when Samuel
Rauh president of the indianapolis
Union Railway Co. was made sew
enth district financial director for
the Democratic national organization.
Rauh. who has been listed as Demo-
crat, has not been active for several
campaigns and his return TO the fold
was looked upon by the Democrats as
an indication that indianapolis business
circles are looking with more favor on
Smith. Another indication of this wss
seen in the acceptance by John E,
Friedrich, president of the Kokonno
Steel a. Wire Co. Of a similar post in
the ninth district Frederick's firm Is
one OF the biggest employers OF labor
in the State.
Some laughs are going the rounds as
the result of the appearance on the
stump together Of Senator Watson and
Senator Smith w. Brookhart OF Iowa
at a Lake County political meeting. 1t
was recalled that Watson voted to Dust
Brookhart from the Senate. but now
that the fiery Iowan has come out for
Hoover, he was instrumental in get
ting him to Indiana for a series of
speeches.
