presidential election. as lne exigeney
requires.
Boilers last week organized the
Hoover Democrats. The white Repub-
licans have opened State headquarters.
and are active in the fi,ld while the
colored faction is quiet, openly. due to
the Federal indictments against their
leaders.
In the meantime developments of the
week show strength for Smith. Repre-
sentatives Quinn and Wilmington are
taking the stump for Smith. Collier
and Collins have Endorsed him. rhe
other four Democratic Representatives
may be forced to take the stump. as
the campaign leaders are making
strong party demands of them. Gov
Bilbo is touring the State, and in every
speech for his own legislative program
to be offered the special session next
week he is making powerful AL Smith
appeals. Speaker Tom Bailey of the
House has broken his silence and has
espoused the cause of the party NOM
inee.
Powerful is this weapon of an implied
threat to bar boiling Democrats from
the primaries leaders claim. Primary
nominations for city. county and State
offices in Mississippi h c been tanta-
mount to election After the Demo-
Gratis nominated the shouting of victory
began. Chairman White contends that
many of the rural Democrats, led by
the anti-Catholic clergy, are talking
against Smith, but will stay away from

years hence for some relative for con-

FORESEES
VOTE OF 10000
Support of Progressives Ex-
pected to Be Big Aid
to Hoover.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatcn 10 Inc SJar.
BOISE, Idaho, September 29.-There
will, in all likelihood, be 10000 votes
cast in Idaho at the next general cleo
ton. 1t is just barely possible that the
total will be even greater than that, due
to the interest manifested by the
electors. Four years ago, at the last
presidential election, there were lat ,458
votes cast for President and 150,077 for
governor There is every reason to be-
lieYe that as great a vote will be cast
this year, if not greater.
However, there will be q striking di-
vision in the vote this year because but
two parties are in the contest for
supremacy-the Republican and Demo-
crat. They will merge the Progressive
party vote, which has no ticket in the
field. either national or State. Four
years ago President Coolidge was given
a total vote of 69,711, or a plurality OF
1920 over Davis, Democratic candidate,
who received 1856. and La Toilette,
Progressive candidate, who received
1891.
Was Full Strength.
The Coolidge vote represented the full
strength of the Republican party with
three parties in the field. It was not
equal to the total combined vote Of the
Democrats and the ProgresSiyes, which
was THAI, but it was 1885 greater
than the Democratic vote and 1890
greater than the Progressive vote.
While denial is made to the claim,
server, that fully two-thirdS of the
Progressive party vote will this year be
cast for Herbert Hoover and the Re-
publican State ticket. At the present
there is q controversy being waged be-
tween some of the So-called ProgresSiveS
regarding the Progressive party's sup
port of Hoover and Gov. Smith. This
was brought about by the claim that q
majority of ProgreSSiveS would support
Hoover because he is q dry candidate
and would not support Smith because
he is wet. The Progressive party is rec
ognized as dry. ts..
Denied by Democrats.
Democrats produced the statement Of
Dow Dunning, former State Democratic
Senator from Owyhee County, who at
one time was affliiated with the Progress
sive party: Frank JohnesSe, once active
with the Progressive party, and others
to the effect that the statement was
not true that the ProgreSsives were 60
ing to support Herbert Hoover for Pres
ident and Gov. Baldridge for governor.
Idahoans look upon the tariff as an
issue of the most vital importance to
its producers. Much of Idaho's produce
is on the protected list. Nothing is
being left undone to drive this fact
home to the people by the Republican
campaign forces. The tariff is one Of
the main issues that every stump
speaker is celebrating in his argument
to get votes for Republican candidates.

OMAHA. Nebr., September %
Nebraska voters have put in much time
the past week listening to Gov. Smith
over the radio. Following his opening
farm relief speech IN Omaha, they took
a general interest in the man because
he leaves no doubt of his position on
subjects in which Nebraska is interested.
He faces a decided prejudice against
him because of religion. his prohibition
views and his Tammany membership,
hut his farm relief position is much
more to the liking of the voters here
than is Hoover'S.
There is a water power problem of
kind in the State and Smiths Denver
talk appealed to many who have re-
scented Entertainments on control OF
natural. resources. It will be difficult
to Judge to what extent he has taken"
with the rural voter until later in the
campaign.
Announcement by Senator Norris this
week that no one who believes in the
McNary- Haugen bill need fear to sup
port Smith has greatly helped. Norris
Ctones West and says the same thing

Vtll be serious for the G. o. P. chances.

HELENA, Mont, September 29.-The

litical sensation of the entire CAM
paign, q revival of the Non-PartiSan

after scoring Mr. Hoover for his farm

down the price of farm products during
the World War.

Montana Farm Bureau and former
L6wden supporter; j. j. O'Shea of Car

Farmers Union, and C. j. Lowery,
former president of the Montana So

While christened THE Montana

The new league is unquestiorably the
remnant of the old Non-Partisan League
which followed him into the La Toilette
party four years ago, and if Wheeler
succeeds in aligning this element with
the Lowden faction, as represented by
Stockton, the league may very seriously
affect the presidential poll in the State.
