ILLINOIS PARTIES
CLAIMS CONFLICT
Democrats Expect Lewis
LandsIide-RivaIs Cannot
See Mccormick Defeat.

CHICAGO, November l (NA.NAo:-
Illinois Democrats expect LANDSLIDE
for James Hamilton Lewis for Senator,
while the Republicans do not see now
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick can lose.
As the strangest campaign in the
history of the State gets down to the
insanity stage, it appears that Lewis
has gained considerably in the last fort
night. Sporadic reports of betting that
have any degree of authenticity snow
even-money wagerS now, where IL was
to in Mrs. McCormicks favor
month ago. The Chesterfeldian
Lewis, who once took off his hat and
bowed when, upon answering tele-
phone call, he heard a womans voice,
seems to have his two woman opponents
beaten.
After putting the aggregate of can
vases and surveys by party leaders INTO
hat and shaking well, that which
comes out indicates the following lore
cast:
Mrs. Mccormick should have ma
jority of around 100000 IN total OF
101 counties, while Lewis should win
in Cook County, including Chicago, by
around 100000.
Mrs. Lottie Holman ONeill the indie
pendent Republican dry, will run third.
Two Million Total Likely.
The total vote in the State should
be about two million. The six other
candidates for the Senate will be lost
in the shuttle, although their names
will be on a ballot as big as a Texas
bed sheet.
Reporters from anti-Hoover admins
tration newspapers visiting Chicago
attempted to find rabid anti-Hoover
sentiment, but have been unable 10
substantiate their belief that the Presl-
dent was responsible for the business
depression and the drought, which did
not injure Illinois farmers greatly any
how.
However, it is fact that the modifica-
ton of prohibition sentiment has grown
in Illinois, and Lewis platform Of State
manufacture and sale of beer, wine,
liquor and similar tonics from home
grown grain, proceeds of such State
controlled manufacture and sale, less
cost and fixed margin for the State
treasury, to constitute the form Of farm
relief for grain growers, has at least
caused comment. The prohibition refer
endum is expected to be dripping.
Opposition to Sex DOwnstate.
There is considerable opposition to
Mrs. Mccormick among elderly down.
state farmers on the ground that they
don't want women In the Senate,
although they voted for her two years
ago as Representative at large.
Mayor Thompson SHE'D his cowboy
hat into the ring for next February's
Republican mayoralty primary for a
fourth term, then viciously attacked
the candidacy of Mrs. Mccormick and
Endorsed Lewis. Now Cook County Re
publicans are busy kicking Thompson's
hat but have not dislodged 1t from the
ring as yet. All Republican factions,
except Thompsons, protest they are
supporting Mrs Mccormick for Senator,
while the Democrats are expecting to
sweep the Cook County ticket and
emerge with party unity for the mayor
atty campaign.

GORE-P|NE FIGHT
RESULT IN DOUBT
Some Observers Predict For
mer viii Win-DemocratS
Also Expect GovernorShip.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Star.


OKLAHOMA CITY, November IA
Democratic majority of $4,000 is pre-
dicted for William H. Murray, Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, and the
State ticket, with impartial observers
OF the opinion that former Senator T.
P. Gore, blind Democrat, will defeat
Senator w. B. Pine, Republican incum-
bent, by somewhat less decisive fig
ure than the anticipated Murray ma
jority.
Many, however, regard the Gore Pine
contest in doubt and wagers are being
made on the result at even money.
1t Is the consensus that the Demo-
Gratis will re-elect the five members Of
the Lower House who are now in Con-
gress, and gain one and, perhaps, two
of the remaining three seats now held
by Republicans.
Former Representative r. B. Swank,
Democrat, Is favored to defeat Repre-
sentative U. S. Stone, Republican, first
term member in the fifth district Less
certain is the outcome in the first dis
trict, where Representative Charles
O'Connor, Republican, is opposed by
Wesley E. Disney Democrat, a Tulsa
lawyer. although the latter is given a
slight edge. Representative M. c. Gar
ber veteran Republican member In the
eighth district, is not held in danger.
The wet-and-dry issue has not fig
ured in any of the races, and the con-
tests have been pitched along regular
party lines, with the exception of the
senatorial race, where Senator Pine has
repudiated the Hoover administration
and is running as an avowed critic Of
the administration. This has cut in
upon the support Of former Senator
Gore. who has stressed similar issues.
1t may cost Pine part of the Republi-
can support he would otherwise have
enjoyed.

THIRD PARTY CLOUDS
UTAH VOTE OUTCOME
Fight Centers in Second District,
With G. o. P. Disorganized
in Muddled Campaign.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, November
1.-THE campaign In Utah d1as been
muddled from the start TO finish. Two
years ago q bad split In the Republi-
can ranks in Salt Lake County, which
furnishes about one-third Of the voters
Of the State. resulted in the election Of
the entire Democratic county ticket.
The late z. o. Leatherwood, Represen-
tative from the second district, which
includes Salt Lake City, was strongly
intrenched after eight years Of service
in the National House, but he was
elected by only few votes.
This year the Republicans have en-
deavored to heal the old sores, but they
have not been successful. To add to
their grief and possibly offset any
peace plans they may have made, a
third party has entered the field in
this congressional district and nomi-
mated for Congress prominent attorney
who always has been considered Re
publican. This new organization, which
calls itself the Liberty party, is not ex-
pected to elect any Of its members.
The question Is as to which of the old
parties it will hit the hardest.
Two years ago DR.. P. H. Paul was
the nominee for the Democratic party
for Congress and lost out to the veteran
Leatherwood by but few votes. He has
been renominated by his party this
year and has been working strenuously
for months. Now he Is opposed by
Judge F. c. Loofbourow on the regular
Republican ticket with George N. Law
renee, former Republican and now
nominated by the Liberty party, draw
ing heavily on the Republican reserves.
While Mr.. Lawrence has not been a
leader in the Republican party, George
Wilson, who is supporting him, has
been a power in the party for many
years and undoubtedly will take many
voters with him. He is familiar with
all the secrets of the Republican party
and Is said TO be nursing a grudge be-
cause Ernest Bamberger, whom he was
supporting. was knitted by Republican
leaders two years ago when Senator
King was returned TO Washington. On
the other hand, a Democratic candi-
date for the nomination of sheriff of
Salt Lake County Is managing the
county campaign for the Liberty party.
1t Is the generally accepted opinion,
however, that this man will not take
many votes with him.
H~n B. Cotton, Republican Represent
$5Ife from Utah's first district, prob
ably will be returned to Washington, but
his usual comfortable majority will be
badly shattered Democratic leaders
claim they will defeat him and elect their
nominee, Joseph Ririe of Ogden, a
former State auditor and prominent
In the Democratic party since the VIII
son administration. Ririe should carry
Ogden, which is the largest city in the
district, but his lead probably will be
insufficient to cover losses in other parts
of the State where Cotton is firmly
intrenched. The general depression has
hit Utah, particularly the sheep men,
who are, or were, all Republicans.
But there Is q general lassitude in re-
gard to the election and this may not
influence the voting so seriously 81 1t

ONLY ONE BATTLE
ON IN n. DAKOTA
Representative Thomas Hall
Is Nevertheless Expected
to Be Reelected.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special DlSpaJCn TO Inc StAAs
BISMARCK, N. OAK, November l.
Only one congressional Office is in doubt
in North Dakota, that being the second
congressional district, where Thomas
Hall. Republican incumbent, is opposed
by P, w. Ianier, wet Democrat. Doubt
Is more speculative than actual, since
even Democrats expect Hall to win.
Theirs is the faint hope natural among
Democrats in q State where the Repub-
lican primary election determines prac-
tically all issues.
Congressional candidates in the first
and third districts are opposed also, but
opposition is more normal than actual.
Republican victory is conceded.
The doubt in the second district con-
gressional race is inspired by two rae
tors. In q referendum in 1928, 1t was
wet by the slim majority of 545. Lanier
Is an avowed wet. Hall has voted dry,
but has managed, heretofore, to main
tain some wet connections and get some
wet support.
Lanier has the support OF nom
partisan Republicans, members OF the
faction which lists Senators Frazier and
Nye as members, and which Is bitterly
opposed to that wing of the party repre-
scented by Representatives Hall and
Burtness. They are working openly for
the Democratic candidate, and therein
lies the latter's chance for victory.
However, this situation has prevailed
before, and the Republican nominee al
ways has been elected.
No Senator will be elected this year,
but an entire slate of State officers will
be voted into Office. Because of the
battle between the two Republican fac
lions over State issues, chief interest
centers in the fight to control the Legis-
lature, which remains in doubt as be-
tween the Republican factions. Repub-
lican candidates for State of11ces are
campaigning, but are active only in the
doubtful legislative districts, where one
faction or the other is attempting to
upset the results of the primary cleo
ton.

HARDWARE LINES SHOW
 SEASONAL IMPROVEMENT
First Cold Spell Expected Further to Accelerate UptI1n in
 Years Business.

New York, Sept. 17-A slight but noticeable seasonal improvement in the current demand for hardware throughout the country was evident during the past week, Hardware Age will say tomorrow in it's week ly market summary. The advancing fall season has been the principal influence lending impetus to trade activity.
 The first cold spell will serve to further accelerate the demand, and a gradual upturn in business is ex- pected during the balance of the year. Dealers are delaying ordering winter and holiday merchandise until the last minute, probably in view of a somewhat easier price trend and uncertainty as to what the future may hold. AS a result, ii , appears that an avalanche of orders in shortages and delayed shipments especially if dealers postpone their purchases much longer.
 Despite an easier price tendency few price revisions of any conse- quence are being made. For the most part, prices have firmed to some extent at the low levels which have prevailed for some time.
 Collections retain a farily satis- factory status.

C0RBIN AVE. SPAN ID BE MADE SAFER
New Bridge Over Tracks Cannot
 Be Erected This Year

At a conference last night be- tween Superintendent Robert O'Hanley of the Waterbury division of the N. Y. N. H. ..& & H. R. R., En- gineer Brink of the same company. Chairman E. N. Humphrey of the board of public works, City Engineer P. A. Merriam, Chairman James P. Sablotsky and Frank Ohlson of the railroad committee of the common council it was decided to take pre- liminary steps looking towards the widening and strengthening of the Corbin avenue bridge.
 The roadway is 60 feet in width and the bridge is only 30 feet wide, creating a dangerous condition. Mo torists turning into Corbin avenue from West Main street might run into the rail fence and if they crashed through, they would be pre- cipitated down steep embank- ment onto the railroad tracks, ac- cording to the representatives of the city. The bridge, when built about Is years ago, should have been the width of the highway, Chairman Humphrey said, but.the public util- ites commission allowed 30 foot structure because of the poor finan- cial condition of the railroad com- pany.
 City Engineer Merriam said he Iyryn ynII1I 4n L,,;,J Corbin avenue, with a 20 ton car rying capacity, similar to the Black Rock bridge. A rough estimate was that such a structure would cost about $25,000 and the city would probably beJobliged to bear one half of it. The present bridge is post ed for 12 tons but when buses and sand and stone trucks pass over it, the vibration is noticeable, Chair man Humphrey said.
 Superintendent O'Hanley agreed to make repairs to the pavement on the bridge, which Is rough and full of holes. He said he would have asphalt put on. within a reasonable time. It was agreed that the pro- posed new bridge or addition to t1le present one cannot be undertaken this year because the city is not in a position to expend any money on it, nor can the railroad company af- ford it, according to the company's representatives but figures and plans will be prepared in anticipa- tion of action next year.
 After the conference, Chairman Humphrey and Councilmen Murphy and Sablotsky inspected the bridge and the general condition of the highway. A light will be installed as a warning to motorists and either cable or other form of protection will be provided temporarily to pre- vent cars from pitching over the sides onto the railroad tracks.
