CHEYENNE, Wyo November s.
Republican majorities face the prospect
of being cut in Wyoming next Tuesday,
but gains made by Hoover during the
closing weeks of the campaign justify
the prediction the President will carry
the State. Representative Vincent Car
ter, Republican, is generally expected
to be returned to Congress. and the

R. Weston, Republican, and Leslie A.
Miller Democrat A Republican State
Senate and gains by the Democrats in
the House complete the outlook.
Wyoming will go wet by a large ma
jority, but j. Ross Carpenter militant
dry, is running against Garter and Paul
r. Greever. Democrat botil of whom
are wet. Carter's strength lies in the
fact that his following continues large
in Democratic centerS and he will draw
heavily upon both veteran and normal
Republican support. Carpenter, it is
virtually conceded, will poll a compare
lively small vote.
President Hoover has been his own
best campaigner in so far as Wyoming is
concerned. Handicapped at the outset
bv diffidence and disbursement that
undeniably had decimated Republican
and independent voter ranks he has
gained ground steadily under the COM
bined effects OF his own reassuring
statements and local concentration on

poll one of the heaviest votes they have
ever received.

a close the gasoline price situation and
tax exemption for veterans, allowed
under the Wyoming law to the extent of
$4,000 property valuation, hold the
answer wyoming with big refineries,
pays more for gasoline than States East
and South and Miller. himself a big
dealer. blames the refiners and stands
for reduction. Weston, Republican,
would let the Legislature decide, since
any change might involve the necessity
of putting the State in the gasoline
business. Both stand for veteran tax
exemption, but Miller is an ex-servioe
man.

HOOVER REXPECTED

Observers Cite Lack of Gen.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, November 5.-President
Hoover and carry Massachusetts, by q
small margin in Tuesdays general cleo
tion unless the Democrats sweep the
country by landslide. This is the
opinion privately expressed here by the
most competent observers IN both
parties.
The lack Of any genuine Roosevelt
sentiment In Boston means that the
Democrats are confronted with the task
of relying on public unrest to overcome
the normal Republican majority, and
Massachusetts, has not been as severely
hit by the depression as many other
States.
President Hoover's position has been
consolidated here by two developments,
first the resentment provoked among the
irish Democrats by the rejection OF
convention and, second. the President S
declaration for a change in the prohl-
bition laws in his speech of acceptance
If Hoover had remained dry his
cause here would be hopeless. because
it was the vexing question of prohibit
ton which has given the State It's
Democratic Governor, its two Demo-
cratic United States Senators and a
Smith triumph in 1928.
Roosevelt Greeted Cordially.
1t must be borne in mind that, al
though the State is strongly against
prohibition, it is fundamentally Re-
publican. Smith won it by the slender
margin of l per cent of the total vote
in 1928 while Gov Ely was elected two
years ago by a similar margin.
The Democrats have had two bright
spots in the campaign. One was the
tremendous reception given Smith when
he came here october 27 and the other
was the cordial greeting given Gov.
Roosevelt during his motor car tour
Smith packed Boston Arena to the
rafters and thousands were barred be-
cause of inadequate accommodations
Four nights later Roosevelt failed to
fill the same auditorium. Smith made
memorable plea for the return to
regularity Of his disgruntled followers,
but there is no evidence that the great
mass of them accepted his appeal as
one of sincerity or of sufficient strength
to stimulate strong current of Roose-
velt sentiment
Ely Favored for Governor.
The Republicans have capitalized to
the fullest extent the alleged radicaliSm
of Roosevelt supporters such as Sena-
tors, Long. Johnson, La Toilette, Norris,
Wheeler and Dill
Gov. Ely is favored to defeat Lieut..
Gov. Youngman for the governorship.
Ely. because of his Smith nominating
speech at the Chicago convention, has
the solid support of the Irish Democrats
Ely likewise will receive the votes OF
many Jews, normally Republican. who
will not support Youngman because of
the strong protest he made 16 years
ago in Washington against the confir-
nation of Louis D. Brandeis to the
Supreme Court bench.

Hoover's Last Minute Gains
May Make Results Closer
Than Anticipated.
BY r. J. JACKSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, Md. November s.
On the eve of the national election, the
Roosevelt-Garner ticket appears a GER
tain winner, but President Hoover ap-
parently is making surprising last-min-
ute gains in public favor which may
make the result closer than anticipated.
Even Republican leaders frankly con-
cede that 10 days ago the Democratic
ticket certainly would have swept the
State. Today they claim that the Pres
ident has an even chance" of being
reelected.
The modesty of their claim lends
strength to the confident predictions of
Gov. Ritchie and other Democrats of
smashing Democratic victory. in
which virtually every county as well as
Baltimore City will have a hand
From the sidelines it looks like the
Democrats easily should change the
10000 to 10000 votes necessary to up
set previous Republican national vic
tories and also should elect all of their
six congressional candidates. United
States Senator Millard E. Tydings al
ready has his reelection in the bag"
even the highest Republican leaders
concede
The apparent backWaSh in favor of
the Hoover ticket is considered due to
sober second thought" on the part
of some voters. 1t is due also in con-
siderable measure to the vigorous
speeches by the President in defense of
his policy mace over the radio
The election sentiment is peculiar in
Baltimore City. where it is difficult to
find any outspoken Hoover sentiment
among persons not closely identified
with his party organization, and where
the talk, while pro-Roosevelt, is de-
cidedly not enthusiastic President
Hoover has a strong quiet following
however, among numerous influential
business and professional men and
among church groups.
The Eastern Shore of Maryland, a
farming community. is strongly pro-
Roosevelt. Western Maryland. nor
mally Republican, shows signs of hav-
ing a strong Rooseveltian trend South
ern Maryland will be close. but any
pronounced trend in Baltimore will be
sufficient to swing the election.

WASHINGTON HOLDS
DOUBTFUL STATUS
Senator Jones Expected to
Be Reelected by Small
Majority.
BY JAMES DE X. BROWN.

Correspondence of The Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, November 5.-On
, the eve Of the presidential election.
Washington remains in the doubtful
column, with both Republicans and
Democrats claiming victory.
Careful, conservative surveys indicate,
however that the upward swing for
Hoover which started five weeks ago.
while somewhat slowed up during the
last few days, will carry the Republican
ticket over the top. with somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 plurality. This
is the surface indication today.
This year the State had its greatest
registration in history Fully IS per
cent of this vote is the silent type.
Where it will go is problematical. The
silent vote, not yet polled or canvased,
will decide the election, and this State
is normally Overwhelmingly Republican.
Jones Expected to Win.
The swerve against all persons in Of
flee. prevalent this year. may upset all
predictions and carry the silent vote
into a Democratic landslide on the
presidential ticket-a possibility, but
not at all probable.
Senator Wesley L. Jones is apparently
safe with a small margin The entire
the exception of the new sixth district,
will be elected In the sixth, two avowed
repealistS of the eighteenth amendment
were nominated-John T. McCutcheon,
Republican. and Wesley L. Lloyd, Dem
ocrat. McCutcheon is IAN irregular" !"
hence he will lose the straight-laced
Republican vote and the Republican
drys. The latter are following after the
Liberty party dry candidate, assuring
Lloyds election.
Representative John w. Summers,
Lin H. Hadley and Albert johnson are
certain of election Sam B. Hill, Dem
ocratic member has no opposition. John
F. Miller. Republican. will be returned
in the first, after being out two years

The entire State Republican ticket,
headed by Lieut.. Gov. John A. Gel
latly. nominated for Governor, is as
sured election JudSon F. Falknor.
nominee for Lieutenant Governor, will
lead the ticket, drawing more votes
than Hoover, Jones or Gellatly.
Republicans will control the State
and the Legislature. This year, for the
first time since statehood. virtually an
entire new legislative personnel will be
elected under an initiative reapportion-
ment bill.
Of the eight presidential and State
tickets on the ballot, outside of the two
major parties, the Liberty party is the
strongest. 1t will poll between $4,000
and 5000 votes, thus saving the Re-
publican presidential ticket, as these
votes would otherwise go Democratic.
The third party will also elect many
minor aficials in county and legislative
districts.
The Communists are deserving their
ticket for the Democratic The Social
lists will poll light vote. The other
tickets will draw comparatively light
ballots.
The State is also voting upon the re-
peal of the State bone-dry law, along
with dozen other proposals. A survey
indicates the repeal initiative will be
defeated and the State remain dry.

LET ELEVATORS DO 1T
Temvik, N. D.,
Dec. 81, 1882.

Temv1k, N. D.,
Dec. q, 1882.
Editor, Tribune:
see in the news that congress
and senate are again battling with
the problem Of trying to help the
various lines of agriculture, and we
all know that 1t needs much help.
Some things have been tried and
have been called failures.
I believe the allotment and taxing
plan will fail, because it proposes to
help only certain commodities and
when they get so high you will find
people turning to other things and
then the things to be helped will not
be in such demand and the price
will fall again.
I have an idea that I may be able
to make as clear as mud to you and
still 1t may go across with you, so
that you can work it out and whip
1t into shape so that 1t will be some
thing to think about.
1t is claimed the reason prices are
low is because we produce q surplus
and because we have to ship out our
surplus we have to sell all at the
world price, which makes our tariff
imperative.
Our crop experts come pretty close
to predicting our production long be-
fore harvest. We know or can find
out what our average home con-
sumption Is and hence we can find
what our exportable surplus will be.
The department Of agriculture
could then advise all the primary
buyers that so much would have to
be exported and so much would be
used at home, and say that If Is per
cent of the crop would be exportable
Take wheat for instance. A farmer
brings in load of wheat; pay him
the world price for Is per cent of his
load and for IS per cent of his load
pay him the world price plus the
tariff of 42c per bushel. When the
elevator ships this grain to the ter
minal, use the some procedure and
put the terminals under control so
that they would have to ship that
part of the grain or other commodity
that was bought at the world price,
out of the country.
The advantage I claim for this
plan is that it Is quite free Of red
tape. 1t Is workable and it will not
create an army of officials to oper-
ate it.
1t looks as If We are going to be
cursed with continuation of the
one cent a gallon tax on gasoline,
which I believe is unjust to the oil
industry and also to agriculture as
it puts heavier burden on the
farmer while he is planting and har-
vesting.
Hoping that I have not tired you
with my poor efforts at making my
idea plain, and hoping that some
plan can be worked out that will
work and accomplish what is hoped
fora stabilized agriculture which
will mean stabilized and prosperous
America.
Yours very respectfully,
A READER.
