United States Senate.
Senator BleaSe is opposed by James
F., Byrnes, Spartanburg attorney and
former Representative, who lost to the
Senator in a second primary six years

of history for its two candidates, so is

Special Dispatch to The Star.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., November l.
Rhode Island should return Jesse H.
Metcalf, Republican, to the United
States Senate next Tuesday, but If 1t
does Sc it will be by majority OF not
more than 5000 votes out of total
of more than 100000 which will be cast.
This State, it is safe to say, with
only the smallest chance of being
wrong, will send two Republican Repre-
sentatives to Washington, the present
incumbentS of the first and second dis
tricts, Clark Burdick and Richard S.
Aldrich, and a Democrat from the
third, Francis B. Condor, former State
Representative of Central Falls. Mr..
Condor was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis after jeremiah e. O'Connell,
Democrat, resigned his congressional
seat this year to go to the Superior
Court bench here.
whether this predominantly Repub-
Iican victory In the national contest,
II it materializes, will result also in a
Republican State administration re-
mains to be seen. Prohibition, eco
nomic depression, local issues and per-
sonalities are playing their part this
Fall.
senator Metcalf has for his opponent
on the Democratic ticket former Sena-
tor Peter G. Gerry, in the United
states Senate for IL years and defeated
bv Felix Herbert in 1928, when, strange
to saw. former Gov. Alfred E. Smith
carried this States electoral vote by a
majority of some 1,700 votes. In con-
trast to his campaign of 1928 when he
spent most of his time in New York
with the Smith Advisory Committee,
hoping that Smiths tremendous popu-
Iarity would carry him through, Mr..
Gerry has been at home" for the past
year, repairing the fences and seeing
to registration. Certain 1t Is that he
has left nothing undone to secure cleo
ton. Hence the close vote which must
be the result
Senator Metcalf, on the other hand,
has the advantage of being the office
holder elected from what is normally a
Republican State. He is native Rhode
Islander, noted for his large philanthro-
pies. and commands the respect of q
personal following as humane en-
blower of labor, in addition to having
the doubtful support of Republican
organization which likes him none too
we'll because he has not always fallen
In with its schemes for perpetuation OF
the q. o. P. sway. II Is hard TO
imagine his defeat in his native State,
and yet Gerry's vote-gett1ng ability is
not to be treated lightly, neither are
the cross-currents of this election,
which are like none before them.
Rhode Island will vote upon pro-
hibition referendum this election. The
question on the ballot Is a tricky one.
It is: THE Eighteenth Amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
Shall It Be Retained?" Contrary TO
the usual manner q voting on this
issue, the yeas viii be drys and the

noes will be vets. Confusion and fall
ure Of many voters properly to record
their intentions are bound to result.
The Republican party at its State
convention adopted a plank that 1t
would abide by the will of the voters
in the dry issue The Democrats wrote
a fiat plank for repeal regardless of the
referendum, which undoubtedly will re-
suit in wet vote of probably two or
three to one.
Nearly two weeks ago Senator Met
calf came out with a wet statement,
declaring that he did not believe in the
eighteenth amendment, that he favored
its repeal, but that he would abide by
the voters will.
A week ago the Rhode Island branch
Of the Association Against the Pro-
hibition Amendment issued the result
of its QUESTIONABLE to candidates.
The association Endorsed both Met
calf and Gerry for Senator, but pre-
ferred" Gerry. It Endorsed both Bur-
dick and his Democratic opponent,
Samuel w. Smith, jr., for Congress in
the first district; 1t Endorsed Arthur l..
Conaty, Democrat. against Representa-
tive Aldrich in the second, and Francis
B. Condor, Democrat, against William
r. Forth In the third. These indorse-
peal of the dry law has come to mean
as much to the vets here as retention
Of it means to the drys. 1t is not
politics. 1t is form Of religion.
Another late factor in the campaign
was the appearance here last Monday
night of former Gov Smith. Fifteen
thousand persons jammed a hall to see
him. Some of them chung to the
rafterS, and thousands overflowed into
the corridors and outside. The Demo-
cratic leader spoke the language Of the
man in the street, especially the Rhode
Island man In the street who is a tex
tile mill worker or a machinist or a
jewelry bench hand when he pledged
the Democratic party to f1ve-day work
week.
The State contest is having its weight
in the campaign. Theodore Francis
Green, eminent lawyer and Jeffersonian
Democrat, whom no one contends is
anything but an honest and courageous
man, is laying siege to the governors
chair, now occupied by Norman S. Case
To repeat: Rhode Island should elect
Jesse Metcalf to the United States
Senate on Tuesday, but his majority
probably will be too slim to be COM
Portable.
