County in which Detroit is located.
Latest reports from Missouri are
to the effect that the Republicans
still have a big job before the
Democratic trend in that State can
be headed off. In Kentucky the
congressional races continued to
hold the center of the stage during
the week. A court decision a few
days ago makes it virtually certain
the congressional delegation will be
elected at large instead of by dis
trictS. The Democrats appear GER
tain of carrying the State. With
the candidates for the House run
ming at large the Democrats have
a good chance of electing nine. If
the House nominees were running
by districts, it is reported, the Re-
publicanS would have chance for
two or three seats.
The present outlook in West Vir-
ginia, according to reports from the
State Capital, is that Roosevelt will
carry the State, unless the Repub-
licans are able in the remaining
time to take from him the popular
ity he has gained in the mining
that thus far the Democrats have
lost little of the strength claimed
for their ticket.
Two developments occurred in
Texas to increase the possibility Of
electing Orville Burlington, Repub-
lican nominee for Governor there. but
no change is reported in the virtual
certainty that Roosevelt and Garner
Will carry the State in the national
election. One development bearing
on the gubernatorial race was the
definite pledge OF Gov Ross Sterling
to support Burlington. The other
was new appeal by group of so
Democrats in support of the Repub-
lican nominee for Governor. Gov.
Sterling was defeated for renomiEa-
ton in the Democratic primary by
Mrs Miriam Ferguson.
In Virginia a Roosevelt victory by
from $4,000 to 100000 is estimated.

A marked improvement is report

In Massachusetts the hopes of
the Democrats have been raised by

SEATTLE. Wash. October 29-As
this State enters upon the last 10 days
of the campaign it find prevailing
sentiment that the Republican ticket
from President Hoover down. will draw
the ma jority vote This is a complete
upset Cf what the State felt early in
the Summer, when it was generally
agreed by republican and Democratic
leaders that Roosevelt would carry
Washington by 100000 votes.
The Hoover strength has slowly In
creased until it is a safe prediction
that he will carry this section by
small but safe majority.
One of the surprising things Is the
strength which the Liberty party is
now developing as the Hover vote
gains.
Al Smiths recent radio address. in

HOOVER OHIO GAINS
SEEN AS TOO LATE
Good Effect From Speeches
Not Believed Enough to
Carry Buckeye State.
BY. J. II. GALBRAITH.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, October %
President Hoover evidently touched the
party pride Of the Republicans of Ohio
in the speeches he has made in the
Middle West and there can be no doubt
but that he has brought some of them
who were contemplating boiling the
party ticket this year back into the
party ranks. One hears Republicans
here saving this with earnestness that
leaves no room fer belief that 1t is mere
talk for effect. and 1t is shown in the
straw votes that are being taken in
this State: not in one, or few of
them. but in them all.
But the change in the percentages
of the vote given to President Hoover
and Gov. Roosevelt IS not so great as
to indicate that this change Of heart
is going on through the entire Repub-
ican party here. II is chiefly among
those who are Republicans by heredity
and long standing.
Not Greatly Affected.
The industrialists and the farmers
do not seem to have been greatly af-
fected by the addresses of the Presi-
dent, Certainly the political sentiment
being expressed by Republicans in
these classes now does not differ greatly
from that which was heard from them
q month or two ago when it first began
to appear that this Republican State
was likely to slip over into the Demo-
cratic column this year For this
reason it does not seem likely that any
such change has taken place or is likely
TO- as the result OF the President S
drives into the Middle West. as would
be sufficient to make the result in this
State different from that indicated
earlier in the campaign.
A scare has been thrown into Re
publican business men who We're out of
the party line here this year By the sug-
gestion that if Hoover is displaced by
Gov. Roosevelt We might find that. We
had jumped out of the frying pan into
the fire. 1t seems unlikely that this
Strengthening up of the party ranks will
be extensive enough to put the party
in this State in good fighting condition.
Changes made in favor of the Re-
publicanS in the State as shown by the
newspaper polls rarely amount to more
than a minor fraction of l per cent
rate at which the improvement would
have to proceed through much longer
period than lies between now and the
day of the election in order to do the
party any real good.
White Shows Gains.
While this has been taking place In
the presidential election, the Democrats
have been showing increasing strength
on the State ballot-that is. the con-
test for the election of Governor and
United States Senator. David S. In
gals, Republican candidate for Cover
Eor. had been. until just now, MAIN
tairing a slight lead over GOV White,
Democratic candidate for that office.
This week his vote began falling. so
that the two candidates are running
very close now.
Senator Bulkley is gaining continu-
ally on his Republican opponent, At
tOrney General Gilbert Bettman, and
his lead is now so tremendous that
there can no longer be any doubt about
Bulkley's reelection.

CHARLESTON. W. Va. October
29-In spite CT the strenuous efforts
on the part OF Republican leaders
throughout West Virginia to demon
strate that there has been shift Of
sentiment favorable to President Hoover
carrying the State. the Democrats ap-
parently have lost li.t'e Of the strength

Tho present outlook from the State 5
capital is that Roosevelt viii carry West

part of the popularity he has built up

centers. largely because OF the protest
sentiment So far the Rcpubhcans
have not made any dents in the Demo-
cratic gains.
Democrats Optimistic.
This estimate of the situation is
based on reports coming to Charleston
from many sections. from politicians,
from business men and. in some cases.
from prominent Republicans who ad-
nit privately that Jhey have little
hope of President Hoover carrying the

which have gone aStray only once be-

This is borne out by the repeated
visits to the State OF both President

point to the registration figures, now

AS compiled by the Secretary of

116l482 Democrats. 1887 Socialists,
10.6O5 Prohibitionists. 2.318 in the Lib
erty party, miscellaneous 1856, and 1872
571 who declined to state a party
affliation and thus are reckoned as
independent. The Republican margin
is 404000 and if it all could be guar
anteed to President Hoover he obvi-
ously would have cinch. None of the
most optimistic Republicans expects
the Presidents plurality in this State
to be anything like this figure this
year; but political figures do believe
he will get his share.
He will also pick up some votes from
the prohibitionists and a great many
from the independents. One bet at
even money that Hoover will have Cali

man has expended carloads of gasoline

ing The man apears to have cast
steel larynX. Incidentally-and this may
have considerable effect on the main
event if Shuler proves as good a vote
getter as the politicians fear he may
be-he is not supporting the prohlbi-
ticn candidate for President, but Presi-
dent Hoover
On the other hand Shuler is wholly
without newspaper support and is using
minimum of time on the air, while
State Senator Tallant Tubbs, Republic
an nominee, and William G. McAdoo
the Democratic, are both getting the
benefit OF newspaper space ana raolo
time in large hunks. Best guesses ap-
pear to be that the senatorial race will
be extremely close. with the winner i'm
possible to pick beforehand.
If the California presidential race Is
really close the count may be delayed
even longer than that of 1916. since
California presents to voters this veal
the largest and most complicated bal
lot in history, cluttered up not only
with candidates, but with initiatives
referendums and recalls. The count is
never rapid in this State and it is ex-
