The Democrats appear to be still
holding an advantage In Illinois,
Ohio and Indiana as the situation
now stands, but vigorous campaign
ing will be carried on In these popu-
1ous areas until the last moment.
Reports from Ohio say it is to be
expected there will be some recess
sion in the Democratic tide of sew
eral weeks ago. but an observer there
believes signs still point to q Roose-
velt majority. Gov. George White,
Democrat, who has been tagging be-

Hoover Gains Claimed.
President Hoover's stock continued
to rise In Iowa even after the Demo-
cratic orator, former Senator James
A. Reed, delivered his attack on the
administration early in the week,
dispatches declare. Iowa voters are
talking more calmly, which an OBJ
server In the State interprets as in
dlcatlng they are preparing to decide
on Hoover. Democrats there. it is
SAID, admit their task is to hold the
protest vote. since there Is little pro.
Roosevelt sentiment.
Illinois Is another State in which
there were further signs this week
OF a continued favorable reaction for
the Republicans as q result of Presi-
dent Hoovers Des Moines speech.
coupled with the later address of for
mer President Coolidge urging Hoo
ver's reelection. The dispatch from
Illinois states. however, that If polls
being taken in the State mean any,
thlng. Roosevelt still maintains a
lead there. In Michigan the Repub-
ucanS are concentrating on county
organization work, while the Demo-
Gratis are planning to send a mum.

From the Atlantic coast comes
word this week of a Democratic
trend noticeable in New jersey.
while in Connecticut there are strong
signs Of Republican victory. In
New Jersey the Republicans nor

LOS ANGELES, October 15.-Though
both sides in California's election cam
paign continue to claim everything
with confidence, there seems to be an
increasing cheerfulness around Repub-
lican headquarters as the fight swings
into its last three weeks and, though
the Democrats show no signs of dis
couragement, some of them are begin
ming to wonder If the climax of their
campaign did not come bit too early.
In part, this feeling is due to the ma
tlonal interest in the California cam
paign.
For some reason not clearly under
stood here, the Nation gives the appear
ance of believing that the crucial DO
litical struggle of 1892 is being waged
in this State and that the presidency
may be decided here as it was in 1916.
This sudden and somewhat unexpected
Importance thrust upon California has
somewhat bewildered all politicians and
they do not know just what to do
about it.

ord of the last House is being looked

dental candidate, it will be recalled,
carried California in the primary last
May over both Roosevelt and Smith,
and the Democrats believe his visit here
will help their ticket, both State and
National. The Republicans are prepar-
ing to heckle Garner on the bonus, the
pork-barrel question, the tariff and in

lively one.
Campaigning during the past week
has seen heavy use of the radio, with
speakers for both sides making up in
volume and number of appearances for
their somewhat minor caliber. No one
of really national importance-except
William G. McAdoo-was on the pro-

Hoover Gains During Week,
but Democrats Still Claim

BY v. Y. DALLMAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
This was President Hoover's week In

continued favorable reaction from the

dent Cooiidge's positive Endorsement of
Mr.. Hoover at Madison Square Garden.
Illinois Democrats discredit claims of
Republican gains, saying they were

reply and that whatever additional
strength Hoover has gained in this
State will be completely wiped out by
the temperance of Gov. Roosevelt for
an address in Springfield October 81.
Give Roosevelt Edge.
II polls taken in various portions Of
the State and authoritative reports
from unprejudiced quarters can be ac-
cepted as dependable barometer, Gov.
Roosevelt remains far in the lead In
the presidential contest in this State.
Mathematician who are basing their
calculations on most reliable polls
available from various sections, place
the probable total vote in Illinois at
over 100000. They give Hoover a
probable total of / 100000 and Gov.
Roosevelt well over 100000. or lead
for Roosevelt of far over 100000
PerpleXing complications multiply
with each passing day, however. Lead
ers in both major parties find it i'm
possible to preserve the straight vote.
The Democratic party. though keeping
its organization lines intact for Roosevelt
for President and Judge Henry Horner.
Chicago. for Governor, finds it difficult
to meet the problems presented by
formidable groups which are making
Hoover and Horner and Roosevelt and
Small combinations.
The Illinois situation gives the Demo-
Gratis distinct advantage, not 50 much
because of their own strength as be-
,se Of the bitter factional rivalry
Among Republicans. The Republican
party organization was never so divided
in this State. Though Hoover and
Small supporters are appearing upon
the same platform, they are openly ac-
cusing one another of treachery, with
the Hoover cause suffering more be-
cause Of the trading of Hoover votes
for votes for Small.
Lewis to Campaign.
The Democrats in addition to having
formidable organization, both in Chi
cago and downstate. appear to have an
abundance of funds. United States
Senator David l. Walsh of Massa-
chusetts spoke for the Democratic cause
this week in Springfield and Belleville,
drawing great crowds.
The announcement from downstate
Democratic headquarters that Senator
James Hamilton Lewis will deliver a
series of eight addresses in Illinois be-
ginning October II has greatly en-
couraged Democratic leaders.

HARTFORD, Conn, October Is
With strong signs of Republican VIC
tory in Connecticut. the Democrats here
are making strenuous efforts to have
Alfred E Smith speak in the State to
arouse his followers to support of the
national and State party tickets. They
hope Smith will take a brief part in
the Connecticut campaign, with one
speech, on his trip either to or from
Boston late this month.
The Republicans recognize a general
trend to the Democrats among the un-
employed and disgruntled and have
their strong State organization working
in high gear.
The list of Republican national
speakers coming to the State is headed
by Secretary of the Treasury Mills and
includes Walter Edge, Ambassador to
France: Joseph Scott, who nominated
President Hoover at Chicago and
Charles B. Whitman, former Governor
of New York.
The independent Republicans, dry
anti-Bingham group, have protested to
President Hoover on their failure to
get the right from the regular Hoover
electors to place their names on their
ticket. They are trying to win the right
to use these names by court action.

ELECTION INTEREST LAGS
North Carolina Situation Merely
Matter of Size of Majority.
BY ROBERT E, WILLIAMS.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RALEIGH. N. c., October 15.-There
has seldom if ever been a presidential
campaign which has evoked less excite
ment in North Carolina than the pres
ent contest.
The effect is intensified by the con-
trast with the last campaign, when for
the first time in this century North
Carolina was hotly contested battle
ground between the two parties. This
year the result, in SO far as North Car
olina is concerned is conceded by every
body to be merely question of the size
of the Roosevelt majority, and the deep
interest of both Democrats and Repub-
licans is shown in the eagerness with
which news from other States Is fol-
lowed. The campaign in the State Is
actually becoming more apathetlc as
election day approaches.

Col. ]. E. Thompson Becomes Chair

BY T. W. B. ANDERSON,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHOENIX, Ariz., October 15.-One of
the most determined political fights in
Arizonas history has been started to
keep the State in the Hoover column.
Col. j. E. Thompson, whose appoint
ment as Arizona chairman of the
Hoover-Curtis Committee was an
nounced last Tuesday, already has
named county chairmen and is credited
with starting in motion the most de-
termined drive the State has witnessed
in recent years.
Thompson was placed in charge of
the campaign after Frank H. Hitchcock,
former Postmaster General and at
present Republican national committee
man for Arizona, left the State to cam
paign for the national ticket in seven
Western States.
Although Arizona's registration Is
four to one in favor of the Democrats,
the normal Democratic majority in the
State is from 10000 to $1,000 votes
Thompson's leadership is credited with
in the week of greatly enhancing
Hoover's chances of carrying the State.

this is subject to wide revision.

GOV. WHITE GAINS
STRENGTH IN OHIO
State Executive Appears to
Be 0vertaking Early Lead
of David S. ingalls,.
BY ]. H. GALBRAITH.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio october 15.-The
development of strength on the part OF
Norman Thomas, the Socialist candi-
date for President, is noticeable in this
State as the campaign approaches the
close, but since it scarcely equals the
expected growth of the voting strength
of the Socialists in this years election
it is not significant.
A more significant feature of the
campaign is the small but steady gain
made by Gov. George White upon his
Republican opponent for the governor
ship, David S. ingalls,. From the be-
ginning of the campaign ingalls, has
shown an edge on the Governor-not
large, but until nov persistent. Now
his advantage has all but disappeared.
This change is slipping on the Repub-
licans' side, for the governorship was
the one place on the ballot in which
they had good prospects for success.
Roosevelt Has Big Lead.
In the several straw votes being taken
in the State it is to be noted that when
ever a place where business executives
might be expected to predominant
President Hoover is quite well sup
ported and where analyses of the voting
are made there are comparatively few
shifts shown away from Hoover But
in street canvasses and votes taken in
shops the trend toward Gov. Roosevelt
Is tremendous.
There are about three million votes
in Ohio and an exciting election such
as this should bring practically all of
them to the polls. A straw vote that
has been taken regularly by the Column
bus Evening Dispatch for many years
and which the public has come to take
great interest in and to rely upon, has
now sounded out the political sentiment
OF over thirty-five thousand voters.
The sections canvassed were selected
with care to make the vote a reliable
cross-section of the State. Roosevelt is
shown to be getting two votes to one
for Hoover.
This apparently impossible result
would seem sufficient to reject the poll
as unreliable. but the straw votes con-
Quoted by this politically independent
newspaper have been proven SO accu-
rate in their election representations
that even the astonishing showing OF
this year Is treated with respect gen.
orally.
Bulkley Appears Winner.
It would indicate that if there is a
100000 vote cast at the November
election the majority for the Roosevelt
electors here will be nearly a million.
During the remaining weeks of the
campaign, with the strong pressure ex-
erted by the old rock-ribbed Republi-
can organization of the State and the
coming Of President Hoover to the
State, it is to be expected that there
will be some recession from the high
tide Of Democracy which was reached
IN this State several weeks ago and that
the majority Ohio will give for Roose-
velt will be somewhat less than that in
dicated now, but it will be plenty.
The indications that Attorney Gen.
eral Gilbert Bettman will be defeated
for United States Senator by Senator
Bulkley increase and leave scarcely a
doubt about it. The governorship is
about the only thing the Republicans
stand chance to save now, and even
that seems to be slipping away from
them.
